Camila was perusing the latest financial reports when the click of stiletto heels on marble announced Layla's arrival. She didn't bother to look up, focusing instead on the figures that danced before her eyes- until Layla's shadow loomed over the desk.
"Camila, darling, we need to chat," Layla purred, her voice as smooth as the silk blouse clinging to her frame.
Camila finally lifted her gaze, meeting those piercing blue eyes with a cool detachment. "I'm quite busy, Layla. What is it?"
Layla leaned forward, hands braced against the mahogany surface, platinum waves tumbling over her shoulders. "It's simple. You want answers about your dear mother's tragic end, don't you?" she taunted.
"Of course," Camila replied, her voice betraying none of the sudden tightness in her chest.
"Then step down from your position. Give it to me." Layla's lips curled into a smug grin.
