Joy looked up at the sky and sighed.
How could she have a better life with that woman? When she had lost a lot of blood during the car accident, that woman wouldn't even donate blood for her.
The Gu Group's headquarters was in a building with 128 floors. It was a commercial building that integrated business, entertainment, shopping, stock market, and securities.
After parking her car, Joy headed straight to the reception counter on the first floor.
"Hello, Miss. Do you have an appointment with our CEO?"
"Yes, he asked me to come to the Gu Group to meet him."
The receptionist nodded and called the CEO's Office. After a brief conversation, she hung up and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Miss. The CEO's Office said that there was no record of your appointment."
"How is that possible? Jimmy said so himself." She couldn’t believe that he lied to her.
Just then, a tall, curvy woman sauntered over to the front desk and stated, "I want to see your CEO."
The receptionist seemed to know her and nodded immediately.
The woman glanced at Joy with disdain and said sarcastically, "What's wrong with this world nowadays? Does anyone and everyone think that they can seduce Jimmy?"
"Seduce?" Joy couldn't believe her ears. A woman she didn't even know was flinging accusations at her.
"Hey, Old lady! Speaking of seduction, I'd like to ask you. Why you are dressed so inappropriately at your age? Do you think Jimmy will fall in love with you because of your provocative dress?"
Joy commented scornfully while looking her up and down.
"Do you know who I am? How dare you talk to me like that?"
asked the woman crossly. She folded her arms across her chest and glared at Joy.
"Anna."
She didn’t expect Joy to know her name. Anna was shocked.
"This receptionist just told her colleague that Miss Anna has come to seduce our CEO again!"
Joy pointed at the two receptionists at the desk. Anna was enraged. She turned around and marched towards the two gossip mongers.
Both receptionists were scared to death by Anna's intimidating stance and they focused their attention on her.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Joy dashed towards the elevator.
Meanwhile, in the CEO's Office on the eighteen floor, Jimmy was sitting with his arms crossed behind his head. He had an icy expression as he stared at the woman, who was putting on a striptease show in front of him.
The woman had shed her coat, leaving only a sexy lace camisole.
"Don't you like me? I'm the one you're going to marry in the future."
Jimmy sneered, but he realized he was being too disrespectful to her, so he covered his mouth with his fist, and his shoulders shook slightly.
The woman noticed this and flew into a rage. "Jimmy!"
"It's true that Grandpa likes you, but that doesn't mean I agree with him. What if I take a photo of you right now and send it to him?"
To prove his point, he took out his phone.
"Jimmy!"
The woman grabbed the phone and tossed it on the table. She glowered at him. Jimmy's deep eyes revealed no emotion.
The woman suddenly laughed, "Jimmy, don't try to irritate me. I have liked you since I was six years old and no matter what happens, I will marry you in this life!"
Jimmy raised his eyebrows, "Really? Then let me inform you, I'm not interested in you!"
"Knock, knock, knock!"
Jimmy assumed it would be Anna, so he stood up, straightened the sleeves of his suit jacket, and said, "Come in, please."
Joy didn't expect to get Jimmy's permission to enter. She took a deep breath and pushed the door open. When she saw the situation in the office, her face turned red.
"Well, I'm sorry..."
"Come here!" It was not Anna, but it didn't make a difference to him.
"Me?" Joy asked, pointing at her own nose.
