# Noah's POV#
I watch from my corner office as Chloe's black sedan pulls up to the Ace Corporation building. She steps out in a charcoal power suit that screams expensive designer. Her blonde hair is pulled back in a severe chignon. She looks like she's dressed for war.
My phone buzzes. "Mr. Lancaster, Mrs. Lancaster has arrived for the board meeting."
"Send her up."
I close the financial reports spread across my desk. Today's meeting will change everything. Chloe has been pushing for this moment since I brought her into the company three months ago.
She enters my office without knocking, confidence radiating from every step.
"Ready for this?" she asks, checking her reflection in the window.
"Are you?"
"I've been ready my whole life."
