Chapter 204
A female employee stood nearby, her hands trembling. Debra hadn't intended to cause a scene, but Shelia's arrogance was intolerable. If she didn't address it today, her internship would be disastrous.
“Ms. Frazier, I didn’t expect you to grace us with your presence.” Liam Tyson emerged from his office, a smile on his face. However, upon seeing Debra, he paused in surprise. "What's going on?" Ben quickly introduced Debra. “Mr. Tyson, this is our CEO, and she’s also Mrs. Nichols.”
Liam’s smile faded. “Mrs. Nichols?” He glanced at Debra and then Shelia. “If this is Mrs. Nichols, then…” Shelia frowned with displeasure. Liam swallowed nervously. Juan had never brought Debra to company events, and Liam had no idea what she looked like, nor had he heard that she was a graduate student at Arcane Academy.
“Mr. Tyson, are you nervous?” Debra observed with amusement.
“Not at all,” Liam replied, trying to regain his composure. “It’s just surprising to have Mrs. Nichols interning with us. It’s an honor for Tyson Enterprises.”
“Oh, really?” Debra raised an eyebrow. “I think it’s my privilege to intern here, especially as an Arcane Academy graduate who got in through connections.” Her tone was bland, but her words caused the female employee to blanch.

Liam sweated profusely. “Mrs. Nichols, you’re joking.” He was caught between a rock and a hard place. He could offend neither Debra nor Shelia.
Debra held out a contract. “Here is the contract. I don’t think there’s anything more to discuss. This year’s contract ends now, and Mr. Austin won’t be renewing it next year.” Liam took it, his hands shaking. Shelia, unable to hold back, interjected, “You’re canceling the plan we worked so hard on with just one sentence? Isn’t that a bit unreasonable?”
“Oh? What do you suggest I do?” Debra sneered.
Shelia puffed out her chest. “You’ve been interning here for a few days. Can’t you see the hard work everyone has put in? Why cancel the contract like this?”
Debra found this amusing. She scoffed, “Because I’m the boss of Frazier Entertainment, and all its decisions are made by me. Business is like a battlefield. You can’t use moral arguments to make others feel guilty. You’re not suited for this work. Perhaps you’d be better off at a convent.”
“You!” Shelia was left speechless.
Liam, not daring to offend Debra, especially since she was still married to Juan, quickly chimed in, “Mrs. Nichols is right. Our plan does have flaws.”
“Mr. Tyson,” Debra said, “I am first and foremost the boss of Frazier Entertainment, then Mrs. Nichols.”
“Yes, Ms. Frazier. I misspoke. Please don’t mind,” Liam stammered. “If there’s anything here that has upset you, please bear with us. It won’t happen again.”

“Good,” Debra responded. “I’m not being unreasonable. I’ll do what’s required of me, and I won’t slack off during the internship. But don’t expect me to take on responsibilities that aren’t mine.”
