A Life Debt Repaid novel (John and Cordy) novel Chapter 1179

When Cordy arrived at the lobby of SYX's office building, the front desk receptionist intercepted her.

"Good morning, ma'am. May I ask for the purpose of your visit?"

"I would like to meet your CEO," Cordy replied politely.

"Do you have an appointment, ma'am?"

"No."

"Then I'm sorry, ma'am. You can't meet him if you don't have one—he's really busy," the receptionist said mildly.

Cordy pursed her lips, but she could imagine how busy a newly established company would be, especially since they had their hands in so many cookie jars.

And barging in might affect the CEO's scheduling, so after some thought, she asked, "What time does he usually leave work?"

"There's no telling. Sometimes early, sometimes late—there were occasions where he stayed overnight," the receptionist replied.

The man was really giving it his all, was he not? It was hardly surprising that the company developed so rapidly.

"I see. Thank you," Cordy said politely.

"You're welcome."

Cordy left the front desk but not the lobby.

Robin, who was with her, was surprised. "Ms. Sachs?"

"We have no choice but to wait."

"But the receptionist just said he might work overnight—"

"And we'll wait overnight."

Robin said nothing else at that, knowing all too well that Cordy was the type who never rested until she got what she wanted.

In that sense, it was not surprising that she carried Starstream Group to the pinnacle of North City's businesses on her own.

Cordy settled on the guest's couch, bringing out her laptop and continuing to work since she was prepared for being denied a meeting with the CEO.

In the spacious and extravagantly decorated office on the top floor of the building, Randy was reporting, "Ms. Sachs is waiting for you downstairs."
