“Don’t forget to deliver the medicine,” Matthew reminded her coolly, watching her retreating figure.
“I won’t forget.”
With that, Arabella left the hospital. Once outside, she got straight into her car and drove toward her pharmaceutical company to pick up Robert’s medication.
While she was driving, her phone rang. She answered it via the car’s hands–free system.
“Arabella, where are you?” Ethan’s voice came through the speaker.
“Ethan? I’m driving right now. What’s up?” Arabella asked.
“I’m at the pharmaceutical company Grandpa gave you. If you’re free, you should come by,” Ethan said, a cheerful note in his tone.
“What are you doing there? Alright, I’m on my way,” Arabella replied, surprised by his location. She quickly changed her route and headed in that direction.
It wasn’t long before Arabella pulled into the company parking lot. She got out and walked through the main entrance into the sleek, modern lobby.
The receptionist glanced up as the doors opened. Her eyes scanned Arabella–dressed casually, looking young–and her expression became stern. “Miss, who are you here to see?”
Arabella met her gaze. “I’m looking for Ethan. Where is he?”
Hearing this unfamiliar woman refer to Ethan so casually, the receptionist gave her a more thorough once–over. She looked like a college kid with no sense of propriety.
“We’re not actively hiring for entry–level positions right now. You can submit your resume online,” the receptionist said dismissively, already looking back at her computer screen.
Arabella’s brow furrowed slightly. Did she really look like she was here for a job interview?
“Who said anything about an interview? And even if I were, is this how you speak to people?” Arabella could feel the woman’s judgment.
“How I do my job is not your concern. You need to leave. This isn’t a place for loitering,” the receptionist snapped, her tone growing sharp with impatience.

Annoyance flared in Arabella. With an attitude like that, this probably wasn’t the first time this woman had been rude to a visitor.
If even the front–desk staff acted this way, it spoke poorly of the company’s culture.
“Whether this is the place for me or not isn’t your call. But it looks like you might not be working here much longer.”
“Hmph, where did this rude girl come from, trying to start trouble? Do you have any idea what this company is? Get out now, or I’ll call security.”
The receptionist picked up her desk phone. “Security, there’s an unruly individual causing a disturbance in the main lobby. Please come immediately.”
“You’re going to regret this,” Arabella said calmly. She ignored the woman and pulled out her phone to call Ethan.
“I’m here. Where are you?”
“I’m upstairs in your office. Come on up,” Ethan said.
“Your receptionist is quite a piece of work. She’s stopped me and is threatening to have security throw me out,” Arabella explained.
“What?! Those idiots… Don’t be angry. I’m coming down right now,” Ethan said before hanging
By then, two security guards had arrived in the lobby from a side door.
Arabella glanced at them, completely unruffled.
“She’s the one causing the disturbance,” the receptionist said, pointing at Arabella.
One of the guards, an older man with a more professional demeanor, stepped forward. “Miss, this is a private pharmaceutical research facility. If you don’t have an appointment or legitimate business here, I’ll have to ask you to leave.”
Arabella looked at him. At least this man was polite, unlike the receptionist. She wondered who had hired such a person for the front desk.
“I’m here to meet someone. He’s on his way down now.”
“Miss, please don’t make us enforce this. If the person you’re looking for isn’t expecting you, you really should leave,” the guard said, gesturing toward the exit.

“If you make me leave, you’ll all be out of a job shortly.”
