Ethel is so angry with them. She points at them, “how dare you? I am the lady of the Greens. How dare you to laugh at me?”
“Oh, right, the Greens. Uh...our company has just terminated the cooperation with the Greens, so, you know...”
The ladies at the front desk has always been unpleasant with her coming. Whenever Ethel came, she always bossed them around, as if she is actually a wife of the president. They used to be puzzled with that how would Mr. Murphy have such a girlfriend. Until not long ago, Mr. Murphy clarified their relationship, they finally understand that it was just Ethel’s own wishful thinking.
“Turns out that a plastic face is really thick. After being dumped, she still dare to come to Mr. Murphy. How shameless!” Says one receptionist.
The other receptionist is also very cooperate. She adds, “Yeah, her face has been filled with hyaluronic acid. It must be very thick.”
“You...” This is the most humiliated time that Ethel experiences in Dakings.
“Why do you come to Mr. Murphy? He has issued a statement long ago that he has nothing to do with you!”
“You know what, when I see Kenny, I definitely gonna complain about you two! I am the guest here, and you are supposed to show your respect!” Ethel’s face turns really funny like a clown when she gets angry.
“Uh ha, we are polite to everyone except those have a plastic face. Is it polite enough to show a fake face to others?”
“What about we solve the problem for Mr. Murphy? We can hang a notice at the door, ‘fake face and dogs are forbidden’!”
“Hah hah...”
The two receptionists keep stimulating Ethel with words. And Ethel is in a great rage. Just as she is about to break out her anger, she sees Kenny and Noel who are going to have lunch walking out of the elevator.
Kenny is surprised by her coming. He is really shocked by her when he sees her rush to him.
Ethel is overjoyed to see Kenny. She grabs his arms and says, “Kenny, finally I can see you! Please, I’m begging you, don’t terminate the cooperation with the Greens company, OK?”
Kenny frowns disgustedly and shakes off her hands, “Ethel, don’t be so shameless.”
Noel looks at Ethel’s fake face carefully. It’s not swollen now, but the nose is still compressed. It’s not as straight and high as before. And her chin seems also seems to be a little crooked, making her face look more weird.
“I’m sorry, Kenny, I won’t be shameless anymore. But please, can you resume your cooperation with us? I can promise I won’t come to you again, and I won’t bother your life again. I love you, and it doesn’t matter even you don’t like me. I won’t bother you again, please resume the cooperation, OK?”
Over the years, the Greens company can develop steadily because of Dakings more or less. Many companies cooperate with them just because they know the Greens is cooperate with Dakings. But now their cooperation is terminated. What does it mean? It means that those who cooperate with them for Dakings’ sake will also terminate the cooperative relationships with them. These relationships are all linked. Ethel can’t imagine how serious the consequences will be.
The more Ethel thinks about it, the more worried she is. At last, she bursts iinto tears at the lobby. She holds Kenny’s hand hard, and her hands almost turn red.
It’s the peak time of lunch break now. Many staffs of Dakings are off work. People along the way are shocked by her. Some of them are timid. They leave in a hurry after seeing that. However, those who are more courageous stop to look at her. They even starts to talk about Ethel.
“Isn’t she Ethel Green? So shame.”
“But Mr. Murphy has clarified their relationship, hasn’t he? Why does she come here again?”
“Cuz she is reluctant to give up. Don’t forget that how arrogant she was in our company.”
