"Yes." The other person also looked puzzled. Who could have expected that Caleb, the Secretary, would call and give such a strange instruction? Moreover, it’s only to let this woman wait outside, not allow her into the Corporation, yet not let her leave either.
This seems to imply that this woman knows Secretary Caleb, so it’s very likely that she actually knows Mr. Kinston as well?
"So how long do I have to wait?" Mabel asked again.
"I’m not sure," the person said. "Secretary Caleb just instructed to let you wait here, without mentioning the time."
Mabel was speechless, not expecting that sending a text to Caleb would result in this. She took a half-day leave today, but she still has to return to the Corporation in the afternoon.
Mabel looked at the time and thought she might as well head back. But as soon as she turned around, she was stopped, "Well... Secretary Caleb instructed that you can’t leave for now either."
Mabel was dumbfounded.
But the person blocking her had a serious look on their face, and there were also two security guards armed with electric batons standing directly behind her.
Mabel estimated that unless she had the courage to resist and didn’t fear getting hurt, it was more prudent to stay put.
So Mabel placed the bag she was carrying on the front desk, then pulled a chair from the nearby seating area and sat down. Since she couldn’t resist, she might as well make herself comfortable while accepting it.
The security guard, seeing this, also let out a sigh of relief.
Over an hour later, Mabel was finally escorted by Caleb from the front desk to Kyle Kinston’s office.
Caleb discreetly left, and Mabel looked at Kyle Kinston, who was dressed in a suit, and suddenly realized that she hadn’t seen him for several days.
The dark suit fitted him perfectly. His handsome face, made even more stern and solemn by the suit, carried a strong sense of oppression.
"I heard from Caleb that you wanted to see me?" He sat in the armchair, legs crossed, looking at her with a leisurely yet indifferent expression.
"Hmm." Mabel couldn’t help but sigh internally. Even the way he crossed his legs seemed elegant. Wanting to fall for a man like that must be pretty easy. His natural advantages alone were enough to attract people.
What was she thinking? Even if Kyle Kinston was so elegant and attractive, it had nothing to do with her. If she really fell for such a man without receiving his love in return, that would be truly disastrous.
"Thank you for the other night," Mabel quickly said, then handed the bag of snacks she brought to Kyle Kinston. "I bought some pastries from the supermarket. If you ever get hungry, you can have them as snacks."
Kyle Kinston glanced at the bag of snacks indifferently, "Is giving food your favorite way to thank people?"
Mabel was stunned, taking a while to realize that previously, when she thanked Kyle Kinston for Katie’s matter, she also offered him food.
So she hurriedly changed the topic, "Oh, and the 5000 yuan bail you helped pay yesterday, I will return it to you. It’s just that it might... take some time." She was still a student, and although she worked part-time at a cake shop, she only earned just over 1000 yuan a month from it, and her mother didn’t give her much for living expenses. Saving up 5000 yuan was naturally not something that could be done quickly.
