"Miss, may I ask what you need?"
Chloe Grant was stopped by the front desk as soon as she entered the Morgan Group lobby.
"I’m looking for James Heady... the assistant to the CEO," Chloe answered simply.
The receptionist’s expression turned a bit awkward upon hearing this.
"Miss, do you have an appointment?"
She had only texted James Heady last night to arrange this; nothing more was said.
"I’m sorry, miss, but without an appointment, you can’t see him just like that," the receptionist politely refused and muttered under her breath, "Another Cinderella."
Chloe heard her muttering and didn’t react, just said directly, "I can wait for him in the lobby."
"I’m sorry, but the Morgan Group as a Fortune 500 company, and the top enterprise in the imperial city, can’t just let anyone in, or our lobby would be overrun."
The receptionist’s words were no longer as polite, pointing to the door, signaling Chloe to leave.
"I’m really here to see someone! He’ll be down soon!" Chloe explained seriously to the receptionist.
The receptionist’s face showed no more pretense of politeness, and she said directly, "Miss, if you don’t leave, I’ll have to call security."
"Standing here is damaging the Morgan Group’s image, making people think the Morgan Group is low, you understand?"
Ending her words, the receptionist rolled her eyes, "Wasting my time."
Chloe was so angry she laughed.
Just as she was about to retort, someone shouted, "Mr. Morgan is back."
If they run into each other head-on, it would be death!
Chloe’s first reaction was to hide, she looked around, the only place to hide was behind the receptionist’s desk.
In a rush, she directly propped herself over the desk and jumped inside!
The receptionist was dumbfounded, trying to get her out, but Chloe refused adamantly, "Your CEO is back; if you cause any trouble, judging by his temperament, he’ll definitely fire you on the spot!"
Chloe’s words indeed startled the receptionist.
Everyone knows that the Morgan Group’s CEO, Grandpa Morgan, is a walking King Yama.
The receptionist didn’t dare say a word.
Chloe kept hiding, waiting until the commotion gradually subsided, then carefully stood up, peeked out, and saw Matthew Morgan entering the elevator, turning around...
Chloe quickly ducked back down!
In the elevator, Matthew Morgan’s gaze darkened... That sneaky head just now, was it... Chloe?
How could she possibly be here?
The elevator doors slowly closed, blocking Matthew Morgan’s sharp eyes.
When the commotion completely died down, Chloe ran out from behind the desk, letting out a deep sigh of relief.
Turning her head... she found the receptionist’s face had gone completely sour!
"Security, come to the front desk immediately!" she dialed the phone directly!
Before Chloe could explain, security had already rushed over from the other side, and in no time, surrounded Chloe.
"This person suddenly rushed behind the front desk, we don’t know if she’s stealing, so you better check thoroughly!"
"I wasn’t stealing!" Chloe shouted loudly.
"We’ll find out once we search you!"
Two security guards had already officially moved forward to escort Chloe, efficiently taking her to the security room.
The receptionist watched, sneering, "Serves her right! There have been so many this month, and here’s another one as an example. Let’s see who dares to come saying they are looking for the CEO or the special assistant!"
