"Miss, wait for a second, please. You are not allowed to enter the building because you are not working here." A security guard stopped Jessica as soon as she entered. A grand company like FX International Group was always equipped with a mature security system.
"I'm here to see your CEO. Are you sure to stop me here?" Jessica said arrogantly as she raised her eyebrow. She looked at the guard talking to her scornfully. She was indeed Jessica Lin, the arrogant and proud woman.
"Yes, I see. But may I know if you have an appointment with him?" questioned the guard patiently. It was his responsibility to check every guest visiting FX International Group. He was not sure whether she was a key account to his CEO or not since the clothes she was wearing were all world-famous brands.
"No. Please tell your CEO that Melissa Xue wants to talk to him. I'm sure that he will definitely say yes." Jessica dared not tell her real name out. She had often come there in the past thus, many people knew her. They knew her name and original face of course. However, she had a new face. No one would believe that she was Jessica Lin. They would probably consider her crazy if she told them her real name. She had no plan of losing her chance to meet Edward that way. Plus, that would be a huge humiliation.
"I'm sorry, miss! I'm afraid that I can't tell our CEO about your visit without an appointment." The guard rejected her request decisively when he heard that she had no appointment.
"Are you rejecting me? Are you sure you can take the responsibility if you mess up the business between me and your CEO?" Jessica warned with a cold smile. She was sure that Edward would meet her as soon as he heard the name, Melissa Xue. She had something he wanted after all.
"Ur! Well! Wait a moment, please. Let us call his secretary." The guard signaled his colleague to consult the CEO's secretary. He did not move an inch and remained standing before her to stop her from entering.
"Mr. Mu, there is a Melissa Xue who wants to see you. She is waiting at the front desk. Are you meeting her or not?" Anna asked in hesitation. A Melissa Xue? Who was she? Why didn't she hear that name before? Why did she want to talk to Mr. Mu? She was puzzled.
"Is there any appointment?" Edward asked indifferently without even raising his head up from what he was reading on his computer screen.
"No. But she insists that you will definitely meet her." Anna frowned slightly after seeing Edward's response. It seemed like he did not know someone named Melissa Xue at all!
"No." Edward declined without thinking twice as he remained looking at the numbers on his monitor. Even his voice sounded like a business.
