Chapter 116
Mr. Russell personally escorted Teri to the HR department while I waited in the nearby lounge. But once they left,
left, curiouty got the best of me, and I took the opportunity to look around. Standing by the large floor-to-ceiling windows on the 22nd floor, I looked down at the busy street below. The cars and people looked like tiny ants from this height. Isighed. Even York Group back then didn't have offices this high up. The Wood family's business was clearly on another level
1 was lost in thought, the door swung open
"Who are you?" A sharp voice startled me from behind.
I turned to see yet another
her stunning, tall woman. The abundance of beautiful women in this high-end CBD area was
Darex was starting to feel sumural.
This woman was a manager named Julia Spencer She stood around five feet five inches call and had an impeccably maintained figure. Her hair was styled in a reddish-brown up-do I nodded politely "Hello, I'm here to see Mr. Wood" Ms. Spencer strode over, giving me a quick, assessing look. Her brow furrowed "Mr. Wood Which Mr. Wood? "Lopan Wood. "I clarified"
Her expression shifted, eyes narrowing "You're here to see Mr. Wood? And who might you be to him?"
He question caught me off pond
Upon seeing my hesitation, Ms. Spencer's expression shifted from surprise to disdain. "Mr. Wood is on an international conference call and won't be seeing anyone. You should leave." I owned slightly. "I can wait."
Unconvinced, she pressed on. "Which company are you from? Do you have an appointment? If not, there's no way you'll be able to see him. Mr. Wood's schedule is very tight."
1 sighed, "No, I don't have an appointment, but he asked me to wait for him here."
She looked stated once again, and her frown deepened. "What? Then how did you get up here without an appointment?"
Ms. Spencer turned and started calling for staff to come over. Het tone was grating, and 1 felt a growing irritation.
Aher speaking with a staff member, who also didn't seem to know what was going on, she strode back over to me, her heels clicking her attitude even more overbearing "Miss, who exactly are you to Mr. Wood? If you don't answer, have security escort you out." I frowned "I'm his friend. Mr. Russell brought me up. Why don't you ask him?
She scoffed, looking at me with hostility. "Mr. Russell isn't here right now, so how can I verily that?
I started to lose my patience at this point, but I simply sat back on the couch and said, "If Mr. Russell in here, then I'll wait for him to return. He brought me up, and without him, 1 wouldn't have been able to use the elevator."
She heurated, considering my point. In a large organization like this, elevator access was restricted on each floor, and only authorized personnel could escort visitors up
Het toe softened slightly. "Tine then. Please wait here while I go look for Mr. Russell'
Just as she was about to leave, she stopped, turned back to me, and scrutinized me closely.
Confused by her behavior, I sat these under her intense paze.
Suddenly, a look of realization crossed her face. "I think I know who you are." Her eyes widened, and she blurtedout, "You're Mrs. Linden!" Chapter 177
