The Real Ceo'S Wife
Isla Jones, the wife of the CEO of ID Group, aspires to expand the company’s clothing business into the field of jewelry design. To achieve this goal, she decides to intern at the design department of VCA Jewelry Company, unaware that her husband, Daniel White, has secretly acquired the company in advance and has instructed the department head, Janet, to take care of Isla and ensure she is not mistreated.On her first day at work, due to Isla's ordinary attire and inadequate transportation, her cunning classmate Gill Brown...The metro rattled beneath my feet as I clutched my tote bag tighter, the strap digging into my shoulder. I’d taken three trains to get here, dressed in my oldest blouse and flats—exactly how a real intern should look. No designer labels, no chauffeured car. Just me, Isla Jones, ready to earn my place at VCA.
But the moment I stepped into the atelier, Gill’s laugh cut through the air like shattered glass. "Well, well. Look who decided to grace us with her presence." Her eyes flicked down to my worn shoes, then back up with venomous recognition. "Still playing pretend, Isla? Or did you finally run out of daddy’s money?"
Before I could respond, Janet appeared, too smooth, too kind. "Miss Jones, welcome. Your station is ready—right by the window, just as we discussed."
We hadn’t discussed anything. And the way Gill’s smirk faltered told me she knew it. Someone had pulled strings. Someone had marked me as special.
Now I have to decide: do I play along and take the easy path they’ve laid out, or do I demand a fair fight—and risk exposing the truth I wasn’t supposed to know?
