Debra arrived at the Sapphire Hotel, where Juan had reserved a table with the best view in the hall.

Today, the restaurant was filled with Juan’s business associates, their eyes turning to Debra as soon as she entered.

She was a vision in a rose–red gown, her long, curled hair cascading to one side. When Juan saw her, his thoughts drifted back to the land auction, where he had first realized how stunning she looked without her usual plain attire. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Murmurs of admiration filled the room.

“Is this Mrs. Nichols? Mr. Nichols and she are made for each other.”

“They are a perfect match.”

Debra approached Juan, who smiled and pulled out a chair for her. She greeted everyone with a smile, Hello everyone, I’m Debra, currently in charge of Frazier Group.”

The industry was already abuzz with the news that Debra had taken over the Frazier Group, so no one dared disrespect her. However, many still thought of her as just a figurehead, leveraging Juan’s influence.

As she surveyed the room, she could tell what they were thinking. To them, she was merely an accessory

to Juan.

“Mrs. Nichols is talented and promising. Let me toast to you.”

A middle–aged man raised his glass and downed his wine.

At this gathering, Debra was the only woman.

Another man stood up, eager to follow suit. “I’ll toast to Mrs. Nichols as well.”

Juan reached for Debra’s hand, his voice firm. “Feel free to toast, but she won’t drink.”

With his clear protection, no one dared insist on Debra drinking.

They kept addressing her as Mrs. Nichols. None of them saw her as the CEO of Frazier Group.

It was clear that they thought nothing of her business acumen.

She glanced at Juan and sald, “Since today is about making friends, wouldn’t it be impolite if I didn’t drink?

“Mrs. Nichols, you don’t have to drink. Just because Mr. Nichols cherishes you like this, there’s nothing we can’t discuss in cooperation.”

“Yeah, Mr. Nichols has arranged this gathering just for you. As long as it’s a profitable deal for Frazier Group, we’re all in.”

The crowd cheered, but Debra’s face remained without a smile. These people were indeed flattering, but their compliments were directed at Juan.
