My Sleeping Beauty Husband novel (Cynthia and Alston) novel Chapter 76

Chapter 76 Can’t I Be Here?

“Someone like me? Then tell me what kind of person I am.” Cynthia was amused. She didn’t expect that there were so many snobs in this world.

How could the Smith Group’s receptionist be such a kind of person?

The receptionist sized Cynthia again with disdain and sneered, “You do have a good look, but don’t think you can step up the ladder of the wealthy circle with your good look. I’ve seen so many women like you. Mr. Smith. is a young and promising man. Of course, he is still the most wealthy man in Fort. What kind of woman has he not seen? I advise you not to waste your effort.”

“You’re not Mr. Smith, so how do you know he doesn’t like me? Maybe I am just the kind of woman he likes?” Cynthia smiled and tucked the hair behind her ears. Her face was fair with delicate and striking features, exuding a mixed feeling of seduction and cuteness when she smiled.

The receptionist paused and frowned after she reacted. She couldn’t help but think Cynthia was a woman

being good at tempting men.

“Are you kidding me? I don’t believe Mr. Smith will have such terrible taste and fall in love with you.” She raised her index finger and thumb of her right hand and pinched Cynthia’s coat in disgust. “Look at your clothes. They look so cheap. You bumpkin, get out of here quickly while I’m not angry.”

Cynthia looked down at her attire. A T–shirt, jeans, and a black jacket indeed seemed very simple. She needed more time to change clothes. She hurriedly arrived after preparing lunch as soon as she left the hospital.

However, the clothes that Alston bought for her were all custom–made without a brand. She didn’t expect the receptionist to ridicule them as cheap and look down on her, which amused Cynthia.

Cynthia ignored the receptionist and was about to call Alston. A surprised male voice came from behind as

here?” she took out her mobile phone. “Mrs. Smith, why are you

She turned her head and saw that it was Alston’s assistant, Lloyd.

Wearing a well–cut suit, Lloyd looked tall and handsome. Adding the identity that he was Alston’s assistant, he was very popular with the female employees.

As soon as the receptionist saw Lloyd, her face blushed immediately, and her eyes were full of shyness. “Mr. Evans, why are you here?”

here?

Cynthia glanced at her and turned to Lloyd. “Mr. Evans, I’m here to find Alston for lunch.”

As she said that, she lifted the lunch box in her hand. “But your receptionist didn’t let me in and even sneered at me. Doesn’t the Smith Group pay attention to the bearing when selecting employees?”

Lloyd glanced coldly at the receptionist, and she was dumbfounded at this moment. She never thought that the plainly dressed woman in front of her was really the Smith Group president’s wife.

Her face was pale, and her lips trembled for a long time before she reacted. She begged Cynthia with a mournful look. “Mrs. Smith, it’s my fault. I didn’t know you were Mrs. Smith just now. I’m so sorry. Can you not fire me? I have to support my family. It was hard for me to become an employee of the Smith Group. Please,

don’t fire me.”

Cynthia was indifferent. “I’m not the president of the Smith Group, and it’s not up to me to decide whether you

will stay or not.”

The receptionist still wanted to say something, but Lloyd suddenly stood in front of Cynthia, saying in a cold

voice, “Remember your duty, and don’t pester Mrs. Smith.”

Lloyd usually had a smiling face and looked gentle, but now his face fell, which made the receptionist so

scared that she had to lower her head, not daring to say a word.

Seeing that she had stopped talking, Lloyd turned around and looked at Cynthia respectfully. “Mrs. Smith, I

will bring you to Mr. Smith’s office.”

“All right.” Cynthia nodded, followed Lloyd, and got on the president’s exclusive elevator.

Seeing that the two left, the receptionist heaved a sigh of relief, and another receptionist next to her came

over and said in a low voice, “Didn’t I warn you before? You have to put your mind right and don’t underestimate others at will. Otherwise, you will accidentally offend someone noble. Am I right? You have offended the president’s wife, and I guess you won’t be able to stay in the Smith Group anymore.”

But she smiled disapprovingly with a haughty expression. “Mr. Smith didn’t disclose his wife, so I guess she is

not favored. Otherwise, the previous assistant, Miss Taylor, wouldn’t maintain a high profile. I’ll be fine.”

As soon as she finished speaking, the phone beside her suddenly rang. She picked it up, and her face.

suddenly turned pale when she heard what the other end of the phone said.

The other receptionist saw her weird expression, so she leaned over and heard a sentence from the phone.

“Come here and settle your salary. Pack up your things and leave in the afternoon…”

Only Cynthia and Lloyd were in the elevator, and there was nothing but silence. As Cynthia watched the floor

numbers change, Lloyd suddenly said, “Mrs. Smith, I’m sorry for the receptionist’s rudeness. I have already

notified the personnel department.”

Cynthia paused. “No. It’s me not telling Alston in advance. She doesn’t know me, although she is mean…”

“Mrs. Smith.” Lloyd knew what she wanted to say and interrupted her. “She is Clare’s subordinate, so I can

take this opportunity to get rid of her. You needn’t feel guilty.”

Cynthia felt better hearing it, and they soon arrived at Alston’s office.
