The reason why the receptionist treated Anielle that way was because she was well aware of
the intention behind all the women who came to see Vinson As far as she was
concerned, none of these women came for workâ
related reasons. It was understandable because it was every womanâs dream to get their hands on a m
an of status and wealth, such as Vinson. Hence, she had always treated women without an
appointment with hostility
Besides, she knew these women were all prettier than she would ever be, so she never bothered to ev
en cast a glance at them.
âYou canât see him without an appointment. If youâre not filling out the form, get lost,â she repeated,
However, as soon as she
finished her sentence, she heard polite greetings coming from the elevatorâs direction
âHello, Mr. Nightshire.â
âGood afternoon, Mr. Nightshire.â
Vinson is here! The receptionist immediately stood upright as she tidied herself up.
On every other day, Vinson would just walk straight toward the main entrance. However, he was headin
g directly toward the front desk this time around. The receptionist was caught by surprise, and she stoo
d there stiffly, not knowing what was happening.
Her heart began to race, and she could not help holding her breath.
When Vinson was standing in front of her, she noticed the man had his eyes locked onto the woman w
ho came to see him.
Turning her head subconsciously, she finally had a good look at that woman.
At that moment, realization dawned on her as her eyes widened. Thatâs Arielle Moore!
Back when
Soir Coffee had an event there, she was not employed yet. Hence, she had never seen Arielle in perso
n before. Wow! She looks even more beautiful in person! There are rumors going around saying that Ar
ielle is in a relationship with Vinson. So itâs... true?
The very next thing the receptionist saw was Vinson affectionately wrapping his arm around Arielleâs w
aist. âIâm sorry to have kept you waiting. I didnât know you were here already,â Vinson apologized.
Upon hearing that, the receptionist was stumped. So, theyâre involved with each
other! Doesnât that mean Iâve just stopped Vinsonâs girlfriend from seeing him? What have I done? Iâm s
o dead.
Arielle simply ignored the receptionist and turned toward Vinson instead. Pursing her lips, she mumble
d, âSince youâre talking to me nicely, Iâll forgive you.â
âThank you very much, Darling!â Vinson bowed.
The receptionist saw her job flash before her eyes. Didnât Vinson fire his exâ
assistant for something similar to what I did? Oh, goodness!
When she was about to hide away, she saw Vinson looking at her.
It was actually the first time Vinsonâs eyes landed on her. His face darkened as his icy orbs stared into
hers. Suddenly, a chill went through her entire body.
âWas it you who got in her way just now?â Vinson asked coldly.
âI⦠Iâ¦â The receptionist was at a loss for words. She was so terrified that she was trembling in fear.
Before she could explain herself, Vinson continued coldly, âFrom now on, you donât have to clock in anym
hearing his words, the receptionist was flabbergasted, âPlease donât fire me! I beg of you!â
Vinson ignored her as his eyes scanned the other employees.
Then, the receptionistâs superior went to her and said, âYou can pack up your things and leave now. You
The receptionist dropped to her knees and cried. Her arrogance and unprofessionalism had just gotten h
Arielle kept silent throughout the entire ordeal. She only started talking after she had gotten into the elev
Although the receptionist treated her badly, Arielle was still defending her.
Even so, Vinson thought otherwise. âI wouldnât care if she had done that to other people. Just not you.â
