The Returned Heiress Who Had It All (Cassia) novel Chapter 127

Chapter 127 An Outsider

She took out her phone and dialed the number she had memorized.

After a single beep, Draven’s deep voice came through the line.

It held a hint of a smile, as if he already knew she would call and had been waiting for her.

“See you at the restaurant.”

Following his instructions, Cassia walked into the building, headed to the front desk, and looked for the company restaurant.

Because it was the weekend, Cassia was dressed casually and simply, or one could even say cheaply.

She carried an umbrella in one hand and the chicken soup in the other. Her relaxed manner was completely out of place in the formal and luxurious building.

This unusual appearance naturally drew the attention of all the employees in the building.

The receptionist, Nyla Dunn, spotted her and couldn’t hide the disdain in her eyes.

“That woman clearly isn’t an employee of our company. This isn’t a marketplace; not just anyone can come in here!”

Despite her thoughts, she put on a professional smile and elegantly walked toward Cassia.

“Hello, may I ask why you’re here? Are you meeting someone? Do you have an appointment?”

Cassia looked at Nyla. She could tell that although she was smiling, deep inside, Nyla clearly didn’t want to

Ideal with her at all.

Cassia ignored her attitude and politely replied, “I’m meeting someone, but I don’t have an appointment.”

Hearing there was no appointment, Nyla spoke in a gentle, professional tone again. “I’m sorry, miss, but this is a reputable, high–end company. The people who work here are also respectable, high–level individuals. Since it’s working hours, if you arranged to meet someone, please kindly wait outside.”

It’s a good thing she didn’t have an appointment, or Nyla would have had to bother herself helping this bumpkin find someone.

It was obvious she was telling Cassia to leave.

Cassia blinked and said faintly, “He told me to wait in your restaurant.”

With that, she walked straight past Nyla, went into the restaurant, found an empty seat, leaned the umbrella against the side, and placed the food container on the table.

After sitting down, Cassia pulled out her phone to check the time.

It was almost lunchtime.

Cassia looked around the restaurant. She thought the company restaurant’s design looked nice and classy. The main color was a warm khaki tone, with a few Rococo–styled paintings on the wall, along with some soothing green plants.

To decorate a company restaurant this grand and peaceful, the boss of this company must have a unique

eye.

If only they had such a good eye when hiring employees,

This company was quite famous in Zrario, but she heard it was just a branch of some huge international group.

What a showy setup. Who is this person who asked her to come? Doesn’t he know outsiders aren’t allowed in during work hours?

Nyla was annoyed by Cassia’s actions. She was about to walk over and try to convince Cassia to leave quickly, but a wave of employees clocked out upstairs and came down to the restaurant for lunch.

The restaurant, which had only Cassia earlier, quickly grew lively.

Nyla looked at Cassia, who seemed so shabby surrounded by a group of well–dressed, successful people. She suddenly felt there was no rush to kick Cassia out.

“Look at her. She looks shabby and tacky. It’s funny to see her among a group of elites.”

“Nyla, who are you talking about?”

Nyla turned around and saw the Human Resources department manager walking over with a smile.

The manager, Alice Lambert, was a beautiful, confident woman, known for her strong presence and strict standards about employees‘ appearance and manners.

“Alice, I’m talking about that girl sitting in the restaurant,” Nyla said.

She immediately hurried to welcome Alice, respectfully pointing at Cassia.

“She’s not one of our employees. No idea who she’s waiting for. She refuses to leave no matter how politely I talk to her.”

Alice followed her gaze.

That girl was dressed poorly, and Alice didn’t like her at all.
