Chapter 799 The unknown woman had made a request to meet Weston Ford, but she had no appointments with him, nor had her name ever been in the registrations.
The receptionist eyed her suspiciously.
âMr. Ford is in a meeting at the moment,â she informed her. âIf you havenât made an appointment with him, Iâm afraid I canât let you in...â
âCan you just tell him that Iâm here, then?â the woman asked.
âWell...â the receptionist hesitated. âWhy donât you contact Mr. Ford yourself?â
âOkay,â replied the woman, no longer wishing to trouble the receptionist. âIâll wait for him outside.â
âSure,â the receptionist sighed in relief. âThe waiting area for guests is over there.â
As the woman walked away, the receptionist gazed at her with curiosity. There had never been any bea utiful young woman coming here and asking to meet Weston Ford before. Sure, Guinevere Cohen had been here many times, and there had been successful businesswomen who had come for meetings with the president as well. Weston Ford, however, had never fooled around with women like the other rich men.
It was why this womanâs sudden appearance was especially dubious. She had to be cautious, just in case.
Meanwhile , Stella picked up her phone and stared at it. She had wanted to give Weston a call, but hearing from the receptionist that he was still in a meeting, she thought it best to just wait and not interrupt his work.
â â
She was here to give him a surprise anyway, so if she called him now, the surprise would be totally spoiled. With that in mind, she settled on the sofa in the waiting area for guests and waited for Weston while caressing the ring on her finger. Daisy had just finished compiling her documents, and she was coming out of the
conference room when she recognized a familiar figure from afar.
It was Ella Steele.
She stopped in her tracks. She wondered why that woman would be here. In fact, she even looked like she was barred from going inside by the receptionist. Daisy didnât approach Ella and asked her directly. Instead, she found out what happened from the receptionist. Hearing what had transpired, she could guess that Ella was trying to give Weston a surprise.
Mixed feelings arose in her heart.
She wasnât exactly sure what she felt, but she realized she was nothing like Ella.
She would never do such a frivolous thing if it had been up to her. She had always been a rational and sensible person. As Westonâs secretary, she
made sure never to do anything pointless and idiotic. Had she been Westonâs girlfriend, she wouldâve never acted as foolishly
and childishly as Ella did.
âDo you know this woman?â asked the receptionist.
Daisy considered it for a while and shook her head.
âIâve never seen her before,â she said. âAnyway, she has no appointments with the boss, so itâs best that we donât let her in, just in case.â
âOkay,â the receptionist nodded. âI got it.â Stella was starting to get bored sitting on the sofa. She checke that Daisy had spotted her, but to her surprise, Daisy looked away after glancing at her, leaving as if she didnât recognize her.
But Stella was confident that Daisy saw her just now. Why did she act like she didnât? Or was she mistak She thought about it. She had indeed not been getting along very well with Xavier Ford, but she had never had any problems with Daisy before, except the time they were in Zetaâs office. But even then, Stella had been clearly attacking Xavier, not Daisy.
Stella massaged her temples and decided not to give the matter another thought. Daisy was just a stranger to her, after all. B the time she was able to leave Weston, sheâd have absolutely no ties with any of these people.
She checked the time again and thought sheâd better not just waste her time waiting. She reached into her bag and grabbed her tablet. S down some notes on it.
Not long afterward , she was distracted by a hunch that someone was standing in front of her. She put her tablet away and looked up.
