Chapter 173

Once upon a time, the Frazier Group was a formidable enterprise. In recent years, they had maintained an appearance of success, but only a few insiders knew the truth behind their facade.

“Debra, come sort out these documents.”

The cold voice of a middle-aged woman reached her ears, snapping her out of her thoughts.

“Sure, Carole,” Debra replied, standing up and beginning to sort through the files. It was her first day of internship, assigned by her school to one of the Nichols Group’s partners. Outsiders thought Tyson Enterprises had little economic dealings with the Nichols Group, but in reality, their growth over the years had everything to do with the Nichols Group. Their partnership was far from ordinary, and had it not been for her recent investigations, Debra wouldn’t have known about their deep ties. It seemed Juan had quite a few backup plans.

The internship was tedious, and her tasks were basic odd jobs. Her phone buzzed with a message from Michael, who had sent a photo of her slacking off at her workstation. She quickly looked up and saw Michael standing outside the staff area with his assistants. He gave her a casual smile.

Debra remembered Michael’s rise in the entertainment industry, replacing Sean in popularity. Today, Michael was at Tyson Enterprises to discuss a collaboration. The company was in the jewelry industry, focusing on high-end domestic brands, and Michael had put in a lot of effort to secure this deal. His potential was limitless.

“Debra, where are the files I asked you to sort out?” Carole asked impatiently. She was tired of mentoring new interns, their youthful faces constantly reminding her that she wasn’t young anymore.

“Here you go,” Debra responded, handing over the documents. Carole glanced at them casually and then noticed that Debra’s eyes were fixed on something outside. She looked over and saw Michael, naturally assuming that Debra was flirting with him.

She sneered, “Just do your job and stop daydreaming.”

Debra dismissed Carole’s sarcasm. Anyway, it was just a month-long internship, and she didn’t intend to get involved with these people.

During lunch break, she ordered takeout and went to get a glass of water. Suddenly, a hand grabbed her and pulled her into a corner. It was Michael, dressed in a trendy white suit with an exposed chest showing defined muscles. A silver earring adorned his left ear, adding to his allure.

“Ms. Frazier, care to explain this?” he asked.

Debra didn’t hide the truth. “You know I’m studying at Arcane Academy, right?”

Michael stayed silent, prompting Debra to continue, “The school requires me to intern here.” He seemed to ponder the truth behind her words. She pushed him away and stated, “Technically, I’m your boss. Do you think it’s appropriate to question me?”

“I’ve always thought of us as partners,” he responded.

Debra didn’t argue because she hadn’t planned to treat Michael as a subordinate from the start.
