Inside the top-floor office, Arthur poured a glass of cold water.
He handed the glass to Elena and sat down in the leather chair.
Elena drank slowly while looking out over the city skyline below.
Arthur: Are you feeling alright after all that chaos?
Elena: I am fine, but my heart was beating very fast.
Arthur: You handled her with incredible grace and strength.
Elena: She needed to learn that money does not buy respect.
Arthur smiled proudly and leaned forward across the large wooden desk.
He had always admired Elena's strong character and humble attitude.
They had met two years ago when she was working as a junior manager.
She had worked her way up through hard work and dedication.
When Arthur's uncle met her, he knew she was the right heir.
He wanted someone who understood the value of every single employee.
Arthur: Victoria will probably try to contest the will in court.
Elena: Our legal team has every document signed and notarized.
Arthur: She will realize very soon that she has no case.
Elena rubbed her stomach gently and felt a sense of relief.
The secret was finally out in the open where it belonged.
She no longer had to hide her marriage or her pregnancy.
She could focus on improving the hotel culture for every worker.
A soft knock came at the heavy wooden office door.
The head of human resources stepped inside holding a large folder.
HR Director: Ma'am, we have updated the staff policy documents.
Elena: Good, make sure the new protection rules are active today.
HR Director: No employee will ever be treated like that again.
Elena nodded with approval as the director left the quiet room.
She turned back to Arthur with a bright smile on her face.
The sun was shining warmly through the large glass windows now.
They were ready to build a better future for their child.
Justice had been served, and a new chapter was just beginning.
