Chapter 52 Thick-skinned
“Like the man just now, you should not let him in. Do you think anyone can enter my office casually?”
Miriam did not expect that on her first day at work, Lamont would treat her poorly. She could only smile and agree, “I’m sorry, Mr. Byron. It’s my first day here, and I’m still new to all these. But please believe me. I can definitely do better than Hector.”
“Well. Then show me.”
Lamont suddenly raised his voice. Finding out the stock price kept falling, Lamont started to be in a bad mood. While Miriam was chattering next to him, Lamont felt even more agitated.
“If you came here just to introduce yourself, then you may leave now as I already know you.”
Miriam had indeed just wanted to attract Lamont’s attention. Since her intention was exposed so bluntly, Miriam had no other choice but to leave the office resentfully.
Then she recalled the scene when she was called to Macey’s side last night.
“Do you know why I called you here?”
Miriam shook her head obediently. “I don’t know, but I will do whatever you ask me to do, Ms. Aylward.”
“Then I will arrange for you to be Lamont’s assistant now. What do you think?”
Miriam was shocked and immediately thought about Lamont’s handsome face.
“Of course!”
Miriam figured she would be so stupid if she didn’t seize such a great opportunity.
However, sophisticated Macey surely knew what Miriam was thinking, so Macey gave Miriam a warning at that time.
“I have to remind you that you should do your job well by Lamont’s side. Don’t dream of seducing him with your body. After all, he has already seen tons of beauties like you.”
Macey’s words were like cold water that immediately put out any flames. Miriam’s enthusiasm was gone, However, she still had great interests. After all, not everyone had such a good opportunity to stay by Lamont’s side. So Miriam started to plot something in her mind.
At the same time, Amelie was angry thinking about what happened. She felt her blood heat up and then took out her phone from the bag.
Just as Amelie was about to ask Lamont out for a talk, she felt that it was inappropriate and stopped. After thinking tor a long time, Amelie finally texted, “About Rohan, what have you done?”
Lamont’s phone rang.
He looked at the message sent by a familiar number on his phone and telt an indescribable feeling in his heart.
For so long after their divorce, Amelie actually contacted him because of Rohan.
Holding the phone and thinking for a long time, Lamont still did not think of a suitable reply to Amelie.
He wondered if he should confidently tell Amelie that he was responsible for the incidents, or if he should pretend to be cold and didn’t reply.
After struggling for a long time, Lamont quickly sent out a sentence. “It seems you are quite well–informed.”
