Benji was a little uneasy wondering what the woman would do, but until lunchtime at noon, the office was still as quiet as ever.
Hearing this, Rickard stood up, went straight to Hestia’s office, and knocked on the door. After a long time without getting a response, Rickard opened the door with the company’s general password. This was Duval Group after all, and Rickard had the highest authority in the building.
As a result, the door of the office was opened, but there was no one inside.
"How is this possible? I’ve been keeping an eye on this room!" Benji was stunned by the fact that a living person actually disappeared before him, and then turned back to look at Rickard. "Ms. Rivera didn't go out at all the whole morning."
Rickard frowned, but before he could say anything, Hesper’s voice came from behind the two of them.
"What are you two doing in front of my office?" Hestia came over with two cups of coffee, looked at Rickard with a half-smile, then handed one of the cups to him. "Mr. Duval, I didn't know what you like to drink, so I bought what I like."
"Didn’t you say you wished to inspect our work?" Rickard’s tone sounded indifferent.
Hestia shrugged. "How could you not let me go out to relax? I’m a client of yours, not your employee. Aren’t you a little too strict, Mr. Duval?”
"Shouldn’t this be in line with the wishes of a client? The service provider is actively asking the client to check their work but gets blamed for being too active. So aren’t you the strict one here, Ms. Deschamps?"
The curvature of Hestia’s lips remained the same, but her tone of voice became a little less welcoming. "You’re quite a good speaker, Mr. Duval. I wonder if you’re as good at sweet talking as you are now when you’re facing your lover?"
