Chapter 66
With all elegance and grace, Cherise caught the eye of everyone in the Chivers Group lobby as she walked from the entrance to the front desk.
The buzz of speculation filled the air-everyone was wondering who the radiant woman had come to see. Most bets were on Morris; after all, it was a common occurrence for admirers to show up looking for him. Yet, none ever got far, not even the A-lister, Melissa, who’d been politely but firmly sent on her way by the front desk.
The two receptionists, in their sharp black suits, were transfixed the moment Cherise arrived. As she approached them, Cherise said, “Hi, I’m here to see Morris.”
The women stood there, starstruck and motionless.
With her hair pulled back in a bun, Brenda stared at Cherise and said almost in a daze, “Uh, sure. Could you say that again? I missed it. Your name? Who are you here to see, and do you have an appointment?”
Surprised at how much aore perceptive the staff here seemed compared to those at GlobalVision Group, Cherise considered the possibility of headhunting them. She replied softly, “Ms. Leach. I’m here for Morris, the CEO’s office. No appointment.
Brenda nodded mechanically and said, “Right, Morris. No appointment.”
The next moment, both women snapped back to reality, looked at Cherise, and exclaimed in unison, “Huh? Morris?” “Who? Morris? You mean Mr. Chivers? Are you sure?” Cecilia, who was standing next to Brenda, asked to confirm it. Noting their reaction, Cherise raised an eyebrow and said, “Yes, Morris.”
Brenda said apologetically. Im sorry, but the CEO’s office has a strict rule: no appointments, no meeting with Mr. Chivers. There are just too many… women with ulterior motives who want to see him.”
“Of course, you don’t seem like one of them. I’ve never seen someone as beautiful as you coming to see Mr. Chivers,” Brenda said, bashfully scratching her head
When Cherise heard about the many women wanting to see Morris, her heart dipped for a moment, but the feeling quickly passed.
Cecilia continued, “So, it’s not that we won’t let you in, but we’re just following orders, and Mr. Chivers is in a meeting right now. Why don’t you have a seat over there and wait?”
Secing their polite attitudes, Cherise agreed, “Alright, no trouble to you. I’ll wait over there.” She walked over to the lobby’s sofa and sat in the corner.
Seeing this, Brenda at the front desk remarked, “Our boss is immune to women’s charms, setting rules to keep a mysterious beauty at bay. It’s almost pitiful. Oh, such a stunning face, even a tomboy, am smitten.”
She rummaged in her drawer, pulled out some candy, and went over. “Here you go,sweetie. Have some candy
Cherise, who was on her phone, looked up. It was the front deskady from earlier, offering her candy, She smiled and accepted it. “Thak your
After that, she unwrapped the candy and popped it into her moth, thinking. These two admins at Chivers Group’s front desk are really something. I should talk to Dora about extending an olive branch someday. Seeing Cherise’s smile and acceptance of her candy, Brenda felated. With the lobby being fairly empty the floated back
82%!
“She smiled at me! I’ve decided. From now on, Melissa is no longer my idol. My new idol is her,” Brenda declared, picking up the front desk phone. “For my idol, I’m going all out. I’m calling the CEO’s office.” Before Cecilia could stop her, a tall figure stepped out of the elevator and moved quickly, being followed by two assistants, Steven and Leo, from the CEO’s office.
By the time everyone realized what was happening, they saw that the tall figure was none other than Morris, the CEO of Chivers Group.
