Charlotte decided that they would have breakfast at a cafe downstairs. After telling Mrs. Berry to take good care of the bracelet, she took the three kids and left.
It was really a waste that the vegetable beef soup that Mrs. Berry had made that morning was completely ruined because of Fifi.
The three kids were feeling so upset about it that they made a pact to ignore Fifi for the next three days.
Just as the kids finished their breakfast at the cafe, their school bus arrived. Charlotte got them on the bus, waved goodbye, and hurried to the company.
What a morning.
Though she tried her best, she ended up being ten minutes late.
Luckily, Lucy could not be bothered to tell her off about it because the product launch event for the company's latest products was to be held that day, and everyone was doing preparation work on the sixty-sixth floor.
On the other hand, Charlotte, who was just an entry-level Administrative Assistant, was asked to stand by at the reception counter on the sixtyeighth floor.
There were no visitors that day, and Charlotte had a lot of free time on her hands. She decided to read some documents at the reception counter and learn so that she could become a proper secretary soon.
All of a sudden, the doors of the lift opened, and a towering figure emerged from it.
Looking up, Charlotte was greeted by none other than Zachary Nacht walking toward her.
His brows were furrowed deeply, and his expression was dark. Everything about his body language at that moment spelled anger, as if he were trying to burn down the floor that he was stepping on.
Feeling a little uneasy, she greeted, "Mr. Nacht..."
Zachary did not even bother to look at her and walked straight past her as he talked via his Bluetooth earpiece.
"What are you trying to do? I thought that we made a pact not to meddle with each other's operating systems. Why are you hacking into my company's system all of a sudden?"
"Well, that's on him!"
"I don’t have the time to argue with you right now. Let me tell you this. Stop whatever you're trying to do, or face the consequences!"
As he ended the call, he kicked a chair that was blocking his way.
Bang! The chair flew toward the wall and collided with it, leaving a rather visible mark on the wall.
