Mr. Edwards’ Unraveled Life Chapter 1027

Chapter 1027

Jimena wasn’t sure what game Miranda was playing, but she wasn’t about to back down. This wasn’t some trap—just a business meeting. Still, the receptionist’s bright smile felt oddly performative. “Ms. Gaudet’s waiting upstairs,” she chirped, guiding Jimena to the elevator.

On the third floor, a secretary greeted her. “Ms. Gaudet’s in a meeting. Please wait a moment.”

Jimena’s gut twisted. Seriously? First Miranda dodged her calls, and now this? Her voice sharpened. “I’m here to discuss a partnership with sincerity. If Ms. Gaudet isn’t serious, just say so. I’m not here to be strung along.”

The secretary flinched, flustered. “N-no, it’s not like that!”

Jimena crossed her arms. “Five minutes. If she’s not here, the deal’s off.”

She wasn’t going to grovel for a partnership. Professionalism was one thing—being disrespected was another. If Miranda wanted war, she’d get it.
