With Heera firmly in control of her company, Selene finally felt a sense of relief.
One more thing was off her list. The weight that had been pressing down on her shoulders lightened—if only slightly.
She and Ethan stayed by Heera's side for a while, helping her settle into her new role as CEO.
Selene quickly noticed that Heera's surroundings were less than ideal.
The people closest to Heera, the ones advising her, had a certain… air about them.
Their smiles were too fake. Their loyalty too thin.
"Heera, you need to get new people. Trustworthy ones."
Selene said quietly, pulling her aside after the meeting.
Heera frowned, her eyes flickering with unease.
"I know. But it's hard to find good people I can trust."
She admitted.
"Do it as soon as you can. These vultures will tear you apart the moment they sense weakness."
Selene urged.
Heera gave a small, tired nod.
"I will. I'll figure it out."
