I Chose Me Over My Marriage novel Chapter 31

Back in the day, the board of directors had fiercely opposed Maxwell Sterling taking over the company.

They had argued he was too young and inexperienced, insisting he needed a few more years in the trenches.

If Lyra Lennox hadn't stayed steadfastly by his side, fighting against the tide of opposition, the Maxwell of today wouldn't exist.

Maxwell despised dealing with interpersonal politics.

Behind the scenes, Lyra had personally selected the holiday gifts for each board member, perfectly catering to their individual tastes.

Now that Lyra was washing her hands of the matter, Maxwell was completely out of his depth.

*Ring.*

Her phone buzzed.

Seeing Leo Thorne's name on the screen, Lyra hesitated for a moment before answering.

"Mrs. Sterling, can you come to the office right now?"

Even through the cold receiver, Lyra could clearly hear the sheer exhaustion in the secretary's voice.

The situation had to be dire.

Lyra feigned indifference. "What's going on?"

"Mr. Sterling enraged several board members during the meeting. I don't know how to appease them, so I was hoping you could help. You've always handled their gifts and know their preferences perfectly. If the board throws a fit, it's going to be incredibly damaging to Mr. Sterling."

Maxwell, Lyra, and Aria Moon's love triangle was already generating a storm of bad press, negatively impacting the company's stock. Maxwell's arrogant, my-way-or-the-highway attitude was naturally sparking intense dissatisfaction.

They wanted her to clean up his mess.

Absolutely not.
