Chapter 246 Leanne stared blankly as the magician pulled a small tabby cat out of his hat, her patience wearing thin. "Just go." she said.
He tentatively asked, "You mean, you will leave too?" Leanne stood up. "Yeah." The magician, who had never faced such a challenge in his career, quickly packed his props, tucked the cat under his arm, and headed for the door.
The cold, grey hue of the skyscrapers in the business district seemed almost alienating, with only a few well- dressed city folks hurrying by, ssipping on their coffees, others glued to their smartphones.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLeanne hailed a cab to ElitePinnacle. The receptionist, the syoung lady as last time, recognized her instantly. After all, Leanne's distinct appearance and aura made her stand out in any crowd, leaving a lasting impression.
"Hello." "Is Curtis around?" Leanne inquired.
"Yes, yes, of course." Remembering their last encounter, the receptionist treated Leanne with the utmost respect, not asking if she had an appointment, and she even escorted Leanne to the elevator, swiping her access card with a smile, and wished her well as she went up.
Leanne wondered if Curtis was that excited to see her.
It was her first tupstairs. ElitePinnacle occupied a grand eight floors in the middle of the building.
Upon reaching Curtis' floor, the vast floor-to-ceiling windows offered a bright view of the busy office landscape. Caleb was instructing his secretary when he spotted her, momentarily stunned before quickly approaching. "Mrs. Richardson." "Is Curtis inside?" Leanne cut to the chase.
"Mr. Richardson is at the meeting with sexecutives, but it should be wrapping up soon. If you could wait just a moment ..." Before Caleb could finish, Leanne walked past him, heading straight for the door without 1/2 Chapter 246 the slightest hesitation or courtesy to knock, pushing it open.
Mid-discussion, the executives looked up in confusion at the unannounced arrival.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIn all of ElitePinnacle, no employee dared to barge into the CEO's office unannounced, especially not with such striking beauty and cold demeanor. Her presence was breathtaking and intimidating.
Mistaking her for a naive employee overstepping boundaries, one of the vice presidents scowled. "Which department are you from? Since when can anyone just barge into the CEO's office?" A lazy voice from a sofa against the window answered. "She can." The vice president was confused.
Curtis gave him a look. "She's from the boss' side." The vice president had nothing to say in response.
He vividly remembered their ruthlessly efficient CEO, who had created a legend.on BullonBoulevard, shamelessly asking before everyone, "Think of a way to make Leanne talk to me." The family status was crystal clear.
Clearing his throat, the VP switched gears, smiling at Leanne. "Oh, it's you! My apologies for the oversight."
Leanne hated airing personal grievances in public, merely telling Curtis, "Have them leave.". Curtis, who had been lounging comfortably, straightened up and capped his pen. "You heard her. The lady boss wants a word in private. Please, step out."
As the room cleared and Caleb closed the blinds and the door behind him, Curtis urtis resumed his seat, casually asking, "Hungry? What do you want for lunch?" Leanne was direct. "I don't care what plans you have this afternoon. You're coming withto the city hall." "Kidnapping me, are you?" Curtis raised an eyebrow playfully, "And if 1 refuse, what then?" Leanne's frustration showed, "Why drag this out? What's the point?" 2/2 101
