Charlotte hung up the phone and said to the security guard triumphantly, “My sister has sent someone to pick me up. Humph, how dare you to block my way? I will ask Mr. Hawkins to fire all of you later.”
The security guards’ expressions became gloomier. When looking at the complacent Charlotte, they had an impulse to beat her up.
Shirley arrived at the entrance after a short while.
She greeted Charlotte with a smile, “Hello, I’m Shirley Flores, are you Charlotte Fraser?”
When seeing that the one came to take her into the hotel was a young girl and she could tell that Shirley was just an insignificant sidekick, Charlotte’s expressions turned gloomy.
She said flatly, “It’s me.”
“Florence asked me to pick you up. Please come with me.”
Feeling Charlotte’s bad attitude towards her, Shirley’s hospitality cooled down and she also treated her with a businesslike attitude.
She was just an assistant after all and she didn’t need to suck up to anyone. So her attitude towards a person would depend on his/her attitude towards her.
Charlotte’s pulled a longer face. Was Florence trying to psych her out? Even an insignificant employee sent by Florence dared to disrespect her!
Charlotte was annoyed and wanted to scold Shirley, but at a second thought, she recalled that her aim for tonight was to come into the hotel to find Ernest and to approach him. Therefore, she couldn’t make a fuss at the entrance.
So she could just suppress her anger and follow Shirley into the hotel.
When they walked pass the security guards, Charlotte gave them a triumphant and complacent glance.
She was quite provoking and arrogant at the moment.
The security guards all felt speechless.
This woman was really Florence’s younger sister. But her temper and morality were really bad.
It could be deduced that that Florence must also have a poor morality…
They suddenly felt it hard to accept the fact that Florence would be Ernest’s wife in the future.
As their first meeting was not pleasant, Charlotte didn’t talk to Shirley after walking into the hotel.
Shirley led her into the venue of the banquet and reminded her in a business tone, “We arrive. You can walk around freely and eat everything you like. Call me if you need me. I will send you back when the banquet is over.”
Looking at the magnificent and luxurious venue, a touch of excitement and smile appeared on Charlotte’s face.
She asked, “Where’s Erne… oh, Florence?
Shirley gave her a weird look and replied, “Florence is not here.”
“What? She’s not here? Hasn’t she arrived?”
Charlotte was a bit surprised. But she didn’t care about whether Florence was here or not, for what she cared about was whether Ernest was here.
Shirley replied in a flat tone, “Florence left half an hour ago. She will not participate in today’s celebration banquet.”
“Then what about… Mr. Hawkins?”
Charlotte became unease and hurriedly asked.
Shirley gave Charlotte a strange glance again. She was just Florence's sister, but why did she care about the CEO Ernest?
However, Shirley still replied out of courtesy, "Mr. Hawkins will not attend today’s celebration banquet either."
Charlotte felt like being splashed by a basin of cold water and her enthusiasm was instantly extinguished.
She had put great effort to check the venue and finally managed to come in, but how could Ernest not be here?
Her face became hideous, "Did they leave together?"
"Yes."
Shirley shouldn't have told her about this, but after noticing Charlotte's unreasonable reaction, she spilled it out.
She then added, "They seem to be going out to watch a movie."
They went out to watch movie together?
Charlotte was sulky.
