The Returned Heiress Who Had It All (Cassia) novel Chapter 128

Chapter 128 Don’t Joke Around

Whoever she was meeting definitely wasn’t some big shot, so it wasn’t worth worrying about.

Thinking that, Nyla quickly reported, “I asked her, but she wouldn’t answer. She just walked straight into the cafeteria and sat down.”

“Really?”

Alice raised a brow. “Pretty bold of her to act all high and mighty in a place this formal.”

Nyla nodded in agreement. “Exactly.”

That was a workplace, not a bar or a market. People couldn’t just stroll in. If Alice found out who invited Cassia, she’d have to give that person’s superior a proper lecture.

Thinking that, Alice marched toward Cassia, stopping right in front of her with one hand on her hip and the other on the table. “Sorry, miss. The company cafeteria is only for employees. If you’re planning to meet whoever invited you here, this isn’t the right place to eat.”

Nyla watched with admiration. HR managers did know how to talk.

Cassia glanced up at Alice.

“He told me to wait here.”

Holding back her irritation, Alice asked gently, “Which gentleman are you meeting? There’s a cheap little diner next door. It won’t impress anyone, but ten bucks can get you a whole table of food. Perfect for your date.”

Are people here always this rude?

Already annoyed, Cassia answered flatly, “Draven Grey.”

Hearing her company’s CEO’s name, Alice was stunned in disbelief.

“I’m sorry. What did you say?”

Cassia repeated, “You asked who I’m meeting. I said, I’m meeting Draven.”

“Miss, please don’t joke like that.”

Alice clearly didn’t believe it. She figured Cassia was trying to save face after being mocked, dragging the entire company into her joke.

Draven is our company’s boss! And she thinks she can just meet him?

Besides, who do you think you are? Want to see Mr. Grey without an appointment? Even Wood Group had to schedule a week ahead just to request a meeting! In the end, Vance didn’t even get to see Mr. Grey–he got shut down!

“I’m not joking,” Cassia said simply.

Chapter 128 Don’t Joke Around

Just one short sentence, no extra nonsense.

“Uh…”

Alice’s lip twitched. She forced a fake smile. “Miss, do you even know who Draven is?”

“I don’t care who he is. I’m just here to return his umbrella, and…”

Cassia’s eyes drifted to the lunchbox on the table.

Alice followed Cassia’s gaze to the stainless–steel container.

Seriously? She actually thinks Mr. Grey will agree to see her and eat a boxed lunch?

Mr. Grey is the kind of big shot that even I, a department manager, have never met in person!

Alice scoffed, mocking Cassia for not knowing her place.

“Suit yourself. But our boss doesn’t meet with random women. Just don’t cry when you end up waiting for nothing. Nobody is gonna hand you tissues.”

After saying that, Alice flipped her hair and turned around, acting cool as she walked away.

But before she’d taken a few steps, Draven walked down the spiral staircase.

He was tall and lean, his looks unreal, and those long legs were impossible to ignore.

Alice stared with burning eyes at the godlike man walking toward her.

He wore a black suit with a dark wine–red tie over a white shirt. The tailored suit outlined a slim, toned body.

His face was chiseled like a statue, expressionless. His gaze was sharp, his refined features filled with unfathomable intelligence, and the boldness unique to someone at the top.
