Stop It, She’s Remarrying (Fia and Conrad) novel Chapter 1224

The other party immediately shook her head. “No, no, no. I’m not suited for the entertainment industry.”

"Are you afraid of the unspoken rules?" Eileen leaned in halfway. "Then, aren't you afraid of your boss’ unspoken rules?"

The receptionist was dumbfounded.

How could this current A-list celebrity who was noble and elegant on screen be like this in private?

"Scared you, didn't I? It was just a joke."

Eileen noticed the receptionist calling Victor’s secretary.

Victor came out of the elevator, and his secretary hung up the phone, saying, "Miss Reid is at the reception, wanting to see you."

"Okay." Victor showed no emotion on his face, but his pace involuntarily quickened.

Eileen yawned lazily, propping her chin up with one hand, and turned her head when she heard approaching footsteps.

He was coming toward her from a distance, not too close.

She straightened up, and her lazy expression turned cold.

"Mr. Maxwell, long time no see."

"Miss Reid, long time no see." Victor’s gaze was deep, his expression cold.

Eileen looked at his distant and aloof demeanor, thinking of how he used to be ambitious without care of consequences five years ago, and couldn't help but smile.

She mocked him. "Mr. Maxwell, you were my former boss, after all. Why are you treating me so indifferently?"

Victor instinctively glanced at his secretary standing behind him.

The secretary had a keen eye and cleared the area of onlookers.

"I'm going to have lunch. Would you like to join me, Miss Reid?" Victor restrained his emotions, trying to sound distant and indifferent.

“Sure!" Eileen smirked, her gaze icy.

Victor was momentarily stunned. He didn't expect her to agree.

"Let's go. Where do you want to eat, Mr. Maxwell?" Eileen took a couple of steps and turned to ask.

Victor regained his senses, his expression even colder now.

"There's a decent restaurant near the company."
