"Miss, may I ask what you need?"
Chloe Grant was stopped by the front desk as soon as she entered the Morgan Group lobby.
"I'm looking for James Heady... the assistant to the CEO," Chloe answered simply.
The receptionist's expression turned a bit awkward upon hearing this.
"Miss, do you have an appointment?"
"No."
She had only texted James Heady last night to arrange this; nothing more was said.
"I'm sorry, miss, but without an appointment, you can't see him just like that," the receptionist politely refused and muttered under her breath, "Another Cinderella."
Chloe heard her muttering and didn't react, just said directly, "I can wait for him in the lobby."
"I'm sorry, but the Morgan Group as a Fortune 500 company, and the top enterprise in the imperial city, can't just let anyone in, or our lobby would be overrun."
The receptionist's words were no longer as polite, pointing to the door, signaling Chloe to leave.
