Seraphina Sterling's soft voice, laced with faint mockery, echoed through the conference room. It was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. To challenge the director on her very first day—this Seraphina Sterling was truly bold! In any other club, it wouldn't be a big deal. If you offended the director, you could just quit without worrying about any future repercussions.
But this was the stock trading club, where all the executives were from wealthy, powerful families. Seraphina Sterling had no background to speak of, only a loose connection to Nadia Chapman. How could she dare to go up against Preston Patterson? Wasn't she afraid that after graduation, he would create obstacles for her, preventing her from even finding a job? It might not even take that long. Preston Patterson was the young heir to Patterson Properties, and what was the most profitable business these days? Real estate, of course!
