Lucy looked back before closing the door quickly while pulling the secretary away hastily. “Where’s that person?”
The secretary whispered, “On the first floor. Currently being held back by the security guards. I don’t think they can hold him back for long. After all, you and I both know of Ms. Blackwood’s temper…”
“I’ll go. You’ll watch.” With that, Lucy rushed downstairs.
“Aye.”
…
In the office, Zachary was in the midst of signing a stack of documents. As Ben received a call, he glanced briefly at the three children before walking over to Zachary and whispered worriedly, “Ms. Blackwood is here once more.”
“Let her up,” Zachary answered nonchalantly without even lifting his head.
“Huh?” Ben widened his eyes in surprise.
Frowning, Zachary snidely remarked, “I believe I’ve made myself clear enough?”
“Aye.” Ben was momentarily taken aback by the cold instruction. Without much ado, he ordered the security guards to let her up.
The security guards themselves were doubtful at first, fearing that they might have mistaken his order. Only after confirming the command twice did they finally complied.
“See?” Sharon arrogantly complained, “I’ve told you that as long as Zachary is present he’ll surely let me up. You mongrels! How dare you stop me from coming in? I’ll make sure to poke your eyes out next time! Useless, blind dogs!”
Despite the insults, the security guards frowned yet remained impassive.
“Just you wait! I’ll get Zachary to fire you all and throw you back to the streets!”
Sharon let loose those harsh words before turning around and strutted upstairs haughtily in her high heels.
The two bodyguards trailed behind closely, fearing to incur the same wrath upon themselves.
Lucy was preparing to enter the elevator when she saw an incoming elevator heading up to level 68 which made her stopped in her tracks. Crap. Could it be Sharon heading up here?
Several secretaries panicked and followed Lucy closely behind. They were trying to mentally prepare themselves to intercept the infamously arrogant and willful Ms. Blackwood.
Just then, the elevator door opened. Out came Sharon, strutting out with one’s nose in the air. With an intimidating aura accompanying her, she strode directly onwards, intending to let nothing stop her.
“Ms. Blackwood…” Lucy called out hurriedly to stop her, “I’m sorry. You can’t go in because…”
Slap! Out flew Sharon’s palm, landing onto Lucy’s cheek. The force of the smack was so great that the latter’s nose was instantly bloody.
