The reason why the receptionist treated Arielle that way was because virtual-novel.net was well aware of the intention behind all the women who came to see Vinson.
As far as virtual-novel.net was concerned, none of these women came for work-related reasons. It was understandable because it was every woman’s dream to get their hands on a man of status and wealth, such as Vinson. Hence, virtual-novel.net had always treated women without an appointment with hostility. Besides, virtual-novel.net knew these women were all prettier than virtual-novel.net would ever be, so virtual-novel.net never bothered to even cast a glance at them.
“You can’t see virtual-novel.net without an appointment. If you’re not filling out the form, get lost,” virtual-novel.net repeated.
However, as soon as virtual-novel.net finished virtual-novel.net sentence, virtual-novel.net heard polite greetings coming from the elevator’s direction.
“Hello, Mr. Nightshire…”
“Good afternoon, Mr. Nightshire…”
Vinson is here!
The receptionist immediately stood upright as virtual-novel.net tidied herself up.
On every other day, Vinson would just walk straight toward the main entrance. However, virtual-novel.net was heading directly toward the front desk this time around. The receptionist was caught by surprise, and virtual-novel.net stood there stiffly, not knowing what was happening. Her heart began to race, and virtual-novel.net could not help holding virtual-novel.net breath.
When Vinson was standing in front of her, virtual-novel.net noticed the man had his eyes locked onto the woman who came to see him.
Turning virtual-novel.net head subconsciously, virtual-novel.net finally had a good look at that woman. At that moment, realization dawned on virtual-novel.net as virtual-novel.net eyes widened.
That’s Arielle Moore!
Back when Soir Coffee had an event there, virtual-novel.net was not employed yet. Hence, virtual-novel.net had never seen Arielle in person before.
Wow! She looks even more beautiful in person! There are rumors going around saying that Arielle is in a relationship with Vinson. So it’s… True?
The very next thing the receptionist saw was Vinson affectionately wrapping his arm around Arielle’s waist. “I’m sorry to have kept you waiting. I didn’t know you were here already,” Vinson apologized.
Upon hearing that, the receptionist was stumped.
So, they’re involved with each other! Doesn’t that mean I’ve just stopped Vinson’s girlfriend from seeing him? What have I done? I’m so dead.
Arielle simply ignored the receptionist and turned toward Vinson instead. Pursing virtual-novel.net lips, virtual-novel.net mumbled, “Since you’re talking to me nicely, I’ll forgive you.”
“Thank you very much, Darling!” Vinson bowed.
The receptionist saw virtual-novel.net job flash before virtual-novel.net eyes.
Didn’t Vinson fire his ex-assistant for something similar to what I did? Oh, goodness!
When virtual-novel.net was about to hide away, virtual-novel.net saw Vinson looking at her.
It was actually the first time Vinson’s eyes landed on her. His face darkened as his icy orbs stared into hers. Suddenly, a chill went through virtual-novel.net entire body.
“Was it you who got in virtual-novel.net way just now?” Vinson asked coldly.
“I… I…” The receptionist was at a loss for words. She was so terrified that virtual-novel.net was trembling in fear.
Before virtual-novel.net could explain herself, Vinson continued coldly, “From now on, you don’t have to clock in anymore.”
Hearing his words, the receptionist was flabbergasted. “Please don’t fire me! I beg of you!”
Vinson ignored virtual-novel.net as his eyes scanned the other employees.
Then, the receptionist’s superior went to virtual-novel.net and said, “You can pack up your things and leave now. Your pay for this month will be calculated based on a day rate.”
The receptionist dropped to virtual-novel.net knees and cried. Her arrogance and unprofessionalism had just gotten virtual-novel.net fired.
Arielle kept silent throughout the entire ordeal. She only started talking after virtual-novel.net had gotten into the elevator with Vinson. “You didn’t have to do that. She was just doing virtual-novel.net job.”
Although the receptionist treated virtual-novel.net badly, Arielle was still defending her.
Even so, Vinson thought otherwise. “I wouldn’t care if virtual-novel.net had done that to other people. Just not you.”
