“Transfer my call to your CEO quickly, please.” Joyce was so anxious that her voice was trembling.
The receptionist frowned. “Ma’am, our CEO is very busy. If there’s anything, please tell me first. I’ll relay the message to him when he’s free, okay?”
Hmph! It’s another woman pining after Mr. Shane. I’ve seen loads of such women like her. They keep thinking of ways to contact him. I will not let them succeed!
Joyce was infuriated by the receptionist. Tugging her hair in frustration, she yelled, “I’m the best friend of your CEO’s wife. Something bad happened to her! If you don’t contact Shane now and miss the right timing to save her, you’ll have to take responsibility. I’m afraid that you might not be able to shoulder the grave consequences of that!”
When she said that, the receptionist’s heart skipped a beat.
Everyone in the company knows that Mr. Shane is married, but none of us has seen his wife before.
Now, someone who’s claiming to be her best friend is saying that she’s in trouble. I don’t know if she’s telling the truth. However, judging from her panicked tone, it might be true…
The receptionist did not dare to make such a bet.
If something bad really happened to Mr. Shane’s wife and I failed to relay the message, I can’t bear the consequences.
But if this is just the woman’s prank…
The receptionist bit her lips. After deliberating over it for a few seconds, she decided to pass on the message.
Even if it was a prank, she would just get scolded. It was always better to be safe than sorry.
Now that she had thought it through, the receptionist took a deep breath and said seriously, “Please give me a moment. I’ll pass on the message now.”
Joyce heaved a sigh of relief. Before she hung up, she reminded, “Remember, you must be quick. Otherwise, it might be too late.”
“Okay.”
With that, the receptionist hung up and called the office located on the top floor.
As she did not have the authority to call Shane’s office directly, she had to call Silas.
He was in the middle of organizing some files. When he heard his phone ring, he glanced at it and picked up the call. “What’s the matter?”
“Mr. Campbell, a lady called just now, claiming to be the best friend of Mr. Shane’s wife. She said that his wife got into trouble and told me to inform him right away,” said the receptionist.
