His Real Wedded Bride novel Chapter 1182

Although the front desk staff had only caught scraps of their conversation, she could tell just by their tone and some audible words that both Rachel and Holley were hostile to Sheryl.

The receptionist wondered why Rachel invited Sheryl here if she disliked her.

'Is she going to give Sheryl a hard time?' she speculated with her eyebrows furrowed.

Then, she immediately shook her head, chasing the crazy thought away from her mind. 'I have read too many romantic novels and watched too many dramas. Besides, what Ms. Bai planned to do with Sheryl is none of my business.

Moreover, even though Ms. Bai hates Sheryl, she wouldn't be able to do anything to her in her office in broad daylight, ' she assured herself.

After asking Sheryl to wait for she was going to inform her boss first, Sheryl looked at her with a slight smile and replied, "Sure. Please, go ahead." Sheryl had been wary in treating the front desk staff, making sure that she didn't get in trouble because of her. Ever since meeting the receptionist several times, she observed that she was a cautious girl who struggled to survive in this world as if she was walking on a tightrope.

Sheryl didn't mind waiting for confirmation, because for sure, if the girl had let her in without getting Rachel's permission, she would most probably lose her job once Rachel learned about it.

"Thank you, Ms. Xia. Please, take a seat and make yourself comfortable first. This won't take long," the girl replied in relief and proceeded to contact Rachel via the telephone.

A few seconds later, the other end of the line picked up, and a female voice reached the receptionist's ears. "Yes?" As soon as she recognized it was Holley on the other end of the line, the girl didn't hesitate to report about Sheryl's arrival. After all, Holley was Rachel's right hand woman. "Hello, Miss Ye, Cloud Advertising Company's president, Ms. Xia, is here. She said that she had an appointment with Ms. Bai."

"Let her in," Holley instructed curtly as if she was expecting Sheryl.

The girl wanted to say something after, but she didn't get a chance to, for Holley immediately ended the call. She felt a bit disappointed but tried to mask her inner feeling as she looked over at Sheryl and said, "You can now come in, Ms. Xia."

Standing from her seat, Sheryl nodded at the receptionist and said, "Thank you." Then, she walked towards Rachel's office.

The receptionist followed the retreating Sheryl with wide eyes. Sheryl didn't have any idea how obliged she was to her when Sheryl expressed her gratitude with a respectful gesture.

Ever since the girl had taken the job, no one here showed respect to her. Besides, what was a receptionist in the public's eyes? Then again, she was from a humble family, and she also had learned how to face a cruel life. Moreover, she felt helpless and could do nothing about her current situation, so all she could do was cope up living her life full of with contempt, unless she got a promotion or a better job. This thought was what kept her strong and what helped her get through all the difficult time.

In the receptionist's eyes, Sheryl was different from the other people she had met. This female president never showed anything else but respect, and the girl never felt like she was being looked down upon by Sheryl. The girl initially didn't know that she was married to the most powerful and most influential man in the city, Charles Lu.

When she learned about it, her admiration to Sheryl had increased a lot.

In her eyes, Sheryl was the real elegant lady, worthy of respect, for she was not one to bully others.

"You're welcome, Ms. Xia," the girl replied, not sure if Sheryl had heard it. The girl even rose from her seat and bowed to Sheryl's receding figure, making sure that she showed her the respect that she needed even from behind.
