Chapter 311 Offending the Lady Boss.
Arwen halted as she slowly turned to look back at the person who had just prohibited her. Her gaze and demeanour remained gentle as her eyes studied the woman standing in front of her.
"You are?" she asked and the woman scoffed at her question.
"Don't pretend to be so noble when you are clearly not."
Arwen raised her brows at her words. "I am not?" she repeated before asking again, "How do you know that?"
"I am the receptionist here," the woman said proudly before adding, "Of course, I can tell that you are not because I have seen a lot of women like you coming here to covet the chance to meet our CEO."
Arwen paused at her words. A hint of surprise flashed on her face before she asked, "Women often come to meet your CEO like that?"
The receptionist felt a bit odd at her question. Although she was there asking the woman, it felt like she was being questioned instead. Hardening her features, she snapped, "Don't act smart out here and question me as if you are the Lady Boss here. Just leave before I ask the security to throw you out."
Arwen's lips curled in a slow and beautiful smile. "I am not leaving," she said, adding, "I am here to meet my husband and your CEO so I am not leaving until I meet him."
"Your husband?" That took the receptionist off-guard, and Arwen nodded to her.
"Yes," she said. "Hence, I not acting smart out here, instead I am really the Lady Boss here. If you don't believe you can always confirm." Arwen didn't mind the receptionist's brazenness; she understood her concern.@@@@
But the receptionist didn't take her seriously. Letting out a mock laughter, she looked at Arwen head to toe. "Your husband?" she scoffed again. "Do you think I will believe that?"
Arwen checked the time on her watch. She was here to make sure Aiden ate something, she could stay here and let him starve himself. Feeling impatient, she shook her head. "You are not compelled to believe me and that's why I asked you to confirm it." She then glanced up at her and said, "If you are confirming it, can you do it fast? I am here for a purpose; I don't want to get delayed for long."
Arwen stayed calm, but her gaze followed the woman and noted all her actions. And soon she saw two burly men appear on her side. She said something to them before gesturing them to look at her.
And soon in the next second, they started walking her way.
"Throw her out now," the receptionist said in a tone full of command as they walked closer to Arwen.
Arwen still remained untroubled. Seeing her unthreatened like that, the receptionist became more furious. "Get her out now," she ordered once again and at her words, the two men were about to grab Arwen when the elevator behind her opened.
Emyr's gaze immediately noted the intention of the two guards and displeasure marred his expression. Seeing the obvious on his face, the two guards stepped back, not daring to act anymore.
"What are you doing?" the receptionist asked who hadn't noticed Emy. Her brows wrinkled in a frown. "I asked you to throw her out now."
"Who dares?" Emry stepped forward, making the woman go stiff at his question.
Her face paled as he slowly turned to look his way. "M-Mr. Ethan, I —" she couldn't find her words.
Arwen noticed the instant change in demeanor and shook her head internally. Not giving a hard time to the woman, she gently spoke, "Mr. Ethan!"
And at her voice, Emyr immediately turned to look at the lady, before bowing his head down in respect. "Madam, sorry for letting you experience this. It was a fault on my end."
His words dawned upon the receptionist and she was stunned. She glanced at Arwen incredulously and her face grew white in horror. Just the thought of offending the Lady Boss made her knees go weak. She wanted to apologize but at the same time, she wanted herself to go invisible.
Arwen didn't miss the horror on the woman's face. She gave her a fleeting glance and said, "Can you take me to Aiden first?"
