Talia came upstairs, Carl in tow.
“Miss Ramos.”
Having worked for Elmore for more than twenty years, Carl spoke with pride, just like his employer.
“I’m flattered to see you here, Mr. Bryant,” Becky said with a snort.
Elmore used to look down upon Becky and so did Carl. However, even though Becky’s real identity was out in the open and she was no longer the girl from an ordinary family, their attitude towards her hadn’t changed much.
Becky had always respected Carl since he was Elmore’s secretary. This was the first time that she had spoken to him in such an indifferent manner.
Carl was annoyed. He reigned it in as he remembered Elmore’s order and said, “Mr. Casper wants to see you. Please come with me.”
Becky’s smile faded. “That’s rude. You come to my company and you ask me to come with you? I expected better from you.”
Carl was taken aback at these words. He hadn’t expected Becky to turn against him so suddenly. When he came to his senses, he said, “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean it that way. Mr. Casper wants to see you. I hope you will come with me.”
Becky looked at Talia, who was standing some way from them, and said, “Talia, could you please escort him out?”
Talia obliged. She came forward and said to Carl, “Mr. Bryant, this way, please.”
Carl’s face darkened at this treatment. “Mr. Casper asked me to bring you back.”
“Oh, so you know that Mr. Casper sent you?” Becky said with a smile, but it didn’t reach her eyes.
Carl was embarrassed at Becky’s words, his face turning scarlet. He had been working for Elmore for a long time, and there were many people willing to oblige him and save his face. This was the first time that he had been humiliated like this. By Becky no less, a person who the entire Casper family used to look down upon.
