The Scorned Heiress: No More Mercy novel Chapter 606

Closing the encrypted application, Tara switches her phone back to its standard interface. She runs dual operating systems to prevent high-level hackers from breaching her data.

"Hey, gorgeous! You haven't eaten yet, right? Let’s grab lunch." Tricia bursts into the office, thrilled to finally drag her workaholic boss away from her desk.

"Sure. Where are we going? Should we invite Bianca?"

"Oh, let her be. She's drowning in paperwork for the new trainees. I haven't heard from her in days."

Tara laughs. "Being busy means making money."

They head to a highly recommended upscale cafe in the heart of the luxury shopping district. The establishment is famous for its exquisite culinary offerings and is a massive hit with the city's elite socialites.
