Chapter 272 - shes really the chairwoman? (1/2)
”Who is that?”
”She says she's the chairwoman, can you believe her?”
”She looks great though”
”What if she is? No one really saw the chairwoman up close duh?”
Speculations from each employee that was witnessing and hearing Seraphina's assertion resonated around the building's lobby. Some who just came in also chimed in and inquired the whole summary of the commotion.
”Miss, please leave while I'm still asking nicely. This is the company ground -- if you are indeed an employee here, please come back when you're wearing proper dress code.” Though the guard was displeased about Seraphina's audacious claims -- it's in their manual to act as politely as possible; company rules.
”Ohh,” Seraphina awkwardly scratched her temples as the audienced were growing faster than she expects it to be. Regardless, she doesn't care about that now as she only wanted to say 'hi' to George Yue. Thinking of other ways to prove herself, an idea pop on her head.
”Eh, can you give me a moment? I'll just call someone.” Seraphina had a sudden thought to give Henry Man a call to fetch her in the lobby. However, that very instant, she froze groping on her pockets and finding the very thing she needed. Realizing she left her phone in Wren's car -- Seraphina's smile gradually dissipated.
The guard who had a blank face while patiently waiting for her 'call' creased his brows together when Seraphina raised her head with an awkward expression. She was blinking as if she was rendered speechless by something.
”Hehe, it seems I left my phone. Can I borrow yours?”
The guard frowned as he sensed that she was playing with him and was just buying time. While the audience, on the other hand, were gossiping about Seraphina's intention and they came to the conclusion that she was up to no good. After all, the incident on the Yue family event a few days ago was too big to not notice. Fortunately, the vigilantes who caused a ruckus in the city didn't touch the venue or so what they believe.
”Miss, please leave the premises this instant or else, I have to force your way out.” The guard who was on the last straw of his patience gestured Seraphina the exit of the establishment. It was evident that he was on his limits and nodded at the other guards on the side to help him assist Seraphina out.
”What's this commotion?” Suddenly, a stern male voice rang behind the audience which made everyone unconsciously turns their head to that certain direction. There, they saw the newly appointed president Henry Man.
Employees immediately bowed their heads in respect as they automatically zipped their mouths. Henry Man, on the other hand, raised his gaze towards Seraphina who was breaking the rules of their dress code. Regardless, since Seraphina had been missing in action for days now, he instantly rushed his way towards her direction.
”Presi --” The guard who saw the president walking towards them panicked as he thought he might leave a bad impression about his job. After all, he should resolve the matter without causing too much scene but the audacious woman was too persistent. Alas, just as the guard could finish his greetings while bowing, Henry Man bowed towards Seraphina's direction.
”Chairwoman.”
