Chapter 198 Revenge
Finished
The most important thing right now was to see Easton. She couldn’t get him to agree to a meeting, and using someone else’s name didn’t work anymore. So today, Victoria had no choice but to come to the Hudson Group.
As soon as she stepped inside and before she could even reach the elevators, the receptionist immediately stopped her.
Victoria had been here many times before and had always come and gone freely. Granted, Easton had questioned her last time about why no one ever informed him in advance whenever she showed up.
Lifting her chin haughtily, she said, “You’re blocking my way. I’m going up to the top floor to see Eastoit.
The receptionist maintained a professional smile despite Victoria’s slightly overbearing attitude, though inwardly, she was rolling her eyes
Another day at work, another idzot to deal with. See Easton? Yeah, right. His assistant already blacklisted you from entering the company. You can take that attitude and cry outside in a minute
“Ms. Victoria, may I ask what business you have with Mr. Hudson?” The receptionist remained polite and gestured for Victoria “to step aside and register. “Once you’ve signed in, I’ll notify someone from the executive office.
“Register!” Victoria frowned in displeasure. “Are you mistaken? Me, Victoria, register?”
The emphasis on her marne was obvious, and the receptionist certainly caught it. Yeah, yeah, everyone in the company knows you are Easton’s so–called first lov
People even bet on how soon she’d become the new Mrs. Easton. But things weren’t the same as before.
And at this moment, the company did not welcome her
Suppressing her inner amusement, the receptionist continued smiling. “That’s correct, Ms. Victoria. It’s company policy that any non–employee visitor must register before entering.”
Losing her special privileges. Victoria’s expression soured. Im not registering. I’ll have Taylor come down and get me.”
With Jackson gone, Taylor was now the one managing the financial support for her company. She had her number.
Without another word, Victoria dialed “Taylor, I’m in your lobby, Come down and get me
Victoria always spoke as if her demands were a given, but to Taylor, who had years of experience dealing with people, this: was nothing new. It didn’t bother her in the slightest, though she was becoming increasingly certain that Victoria would never become the next Mrs Hudson.
Escorting her to the top floor would mean risking her job. She wasn’t about to make that mistake.
“Ms. Victoria, I’m sorry, but I’m not at the office. I’m out on a work assignment, Taylor replied in a deliberately busy tone. “Mr. Hudson isn’t in the office either.”
Of course, both she and the boss were in the building. She was just making excuses.
“Where did he go? Victoria didn’t immediately suspect Taylor was lying. She was too focused on finding out where Easton was so she could meet him elsewhere.
“I don’t have access to Mr. Hudson’s personal schedule, Taylor replied, suddenly sounding apologetic.
“Does he have any public events in the next few days? I want to see him.”
Taylor was avoiding her, and she had no intention of bringing her upstairs.
But signing in wouldn’t get her through the door. The receptionist had already found another excuse to delay her and even
One of her friends, however, was dealing with family drama. Her parents had frozen her credit card and taken away her car, leaving her strapped for cash. She asked Victoria for a ride.
On the way, they passed her friend’s neighborhood. Victoria hadn’t even pulled up to the entrance when she spotted something, or rather, someone, before even seeing her friend waiting outside.
Ellis, and she was stepping out of a cab. That wretched woman who made her feel like she was picking up someone’s secondhand trash! The same woman who had slapped her in Easton’s office!
