Chapter 66

Miss. Please come with me,” Rhonda said in a respectful manner. ALL of a sudden, the atmosphere

seemed to change and everything was more cheerful than it had been a few moments ago. This shift in

her behavior did not go unnoticed by Debbie, but she let the secretary drown in her anxieties for a bit

more and did not offer anything else but a small nod.

“Crap! Am I going to lose my job?’ Rhonda thought as she Led Debbie to the elevator. While waiting for

the elevator, she stole a glance at the mysterious young lady who appeared to be tranquil.

“Um, Rhonda began,

“I’m so sorry. I didn’t know who you are. Please—“

“You don’t need to explain. I understand. So many people come here every day asking to see Carlos,“

Debbie interrupted her, a smile playing on her Lips. The secretary seemed to have learned her Lesson

so

Debbie decided to stop torturing the woman with her silence. It was not her fault, after all, that she did

not know her. What simply irked

Debbie was that the older woman should not have Looked down on people she had never met before.

Her reply surprised Rhonda. When people who had the Luxury of meeting

Carlos were offended by those beneath them, they often resorted to dishing out harsher treatments.

The secretary looked at Debbie and thought, ‘Has she forgiven me so easily?’

“I’m really sorry. I won’t do that again,” Rhonda still apologized.

For two years, she had been working as a secretary at the front desk for Hilton Group. During this long

arduous period, she had learned how to deal with problems.

After carefully considering her reaction earlier, Debbie realized that she did not mean to give the

secretary a hard time. So when Carlos’ employee apologized to her like her life might have depended

on her forgiveness, she simply nodded and said, “It’s okay. Which floor is his office on?” Then, she

shrugged, and added, “I can go there myself.” Her tone was much friendlier than earlier. It was enough

to reassure Rhonda that the mysterious young lady had no intentions of having her fired from her job.

She shook her head and insisted, “No, Miss. I was instructed by Carlos himself that I needed to

accompany you upstairs.” At Hilton Group, the

CEO’s requests were orders that no employee dared to defy. In simple terms, whatever Carlos wanted,

he would get it one way or another.

Sensing the nervous tone in Rhonda’s voice, Debbie could tell that she was afraid of Carlos too. That

was a piece of information which did not surprise her at all.

The man wore a stern expression most of the time. It would be more of a surprise if someone claimed

the opposite and that Carlos could not hurt a fly.

In Debbie’s opinion, most people feared Carlos Like Jared and she did.

Both of them, for the record, were usually hell-raisers. In front of

Carlos, however, they would quickly become as timid as mice.

The secretary seemed determined to do her job, so Debbie nodded and followed her to the 66th floor.

As much as it was spacious, the whole floor was rather quiet. Perhaps it had something to do with the

fact that it was time for many employees to clock out, but Debbie sure felt like the place was as silent

as a graveyard at midnight. Next to the CEO’s office was a small area consisting of several desks, and

on the door was a clear sign which read, “Office of the CEO’s Secretaries”.

Unlike her presumptions earlier, five people were still working in the office, and through the glass, she

could see a sixth seat which was vacant at the moment. It took Debbie a lot of effort not to exclaim her

awe. Carlos, the CEO of Hilton Group, had six secretaries! Then it occurred to her that, as the boss of

such a huge company, Carlos probably had tons of work to handle every day. It was only appropriate

that he needed so many secretaries.

A man wearing glasses got out of his chair, and walked to them when us) saw Rhonda with a lady he

had yet to meet.

“Hi, Rhonda. This is.

Although he could not put his finger on it, the man thought Debbie looked rather familiar.
