Chapter 281
I shook my head, "It''s okay. Mr. Saunders ising down to fetch me. You should go up first. I wouldn''t
want to dy your work."
Troy raised an eyebrow and smiled faintly, "Vice President Saunders?"
I nodded.
At that, he smiled and went straight up without saying anything else.
Seeing this situation, the receptionist looked at me, her face scrunched up with worry, and she
apologized, "Mrs. Roberts, please forgive me. I didn''t mean- I''m just doing my job. I''m really sorry!"
Minnie was even angrier to hear that, "Doing your job, huh? What should a receptionist do? You should
attend to guests and pass messages. But you didn''t attend to us well, and you didn''t convey our
message."
"You didn''t bother to convey the message to the office, and I don''t me you for that because we didn''t
make an appointment. However, you failed at doing your most important task, which is receiving
guests. Not only that you didn''t treat us well, but you''re also rude to us. Thepany shouldn''t hire
someone like you."
Minnie was two-fist. After all, she had been working by Dalton''s side for so many years. She had seen
many things, and she was experienced. So, naturally, she had a clear mind and sharp speech.
The receptionist was at a loss for words. She looked at me and apologized again, "Mrs. Roberts, I''m
sorry! I didn''t mean it."
"Oh, so if a murderer apologizes to the victim''s family, the crime wasn''t done?" Minnie was unsatisfied,
so she didn''t hold back on her words.
"What else do you want?" The receptionist raised her voice, "I''ve already apologized. Why are you
being so aggressive? Why are you taking the anger out at me because she couldn''t keep an eye on
her husband? It''s not my fault! What''s the problem with you rich people?"
Her words drew the attention of many people. As she spoke, she became louder, "But with an attitude
like this, it''s no wonder that Mr. Roberts doesn''t want you around him. Miss Burton, on the other hand,
is a good-natured, generous, and elegantdy. One should know their ce. You must have pulled
some dirty tricks on Mr. Roberts to marry him!"
The more she said, the viler she became.

Thedy was getting on Minnie''s nerve. Minnie raised her hand, wanting to give thedy a good
lesson. I grabbed Minnie''s hand and stopped her, "It''s okay, Minnie. Don''t make a scene."
Some people in the crowd around had already taken out their phones to take pictures and videos. If
someone were to use these pictures and videos to spread gossip, it would be much more troublesome
to deal with the societal pressure here in Jarold City than in Ucrebury.
What''s more, Hendrix was nning to expand the market. Tittle- tattle like this would be damaging to
thepany''s public image.
"Are you going to let her bully you just like that?" Minnie asked, ring at the receptionist.
I shook my head. "I don''t mind it. She''s just speaking without thinking."
When Josiah came down to the lobby, Minnie and I were already surrounded by arge group of
people. Frowning, he looked at me and asked, "What''s the matter?"
I glimpsed at the front desk. The receptionist who was sharp-tongued just a moment ago was at a loss
for what to do, and she seemed shy.
It was a human instinct to admire delicious food or good-looking people, and it seemed that thedy
liked Josiah.
Looking away, I shook my head lightly and said, "Nothing. We should go."
In the elevator.
Josiah raised his brows at me, "Won''t you feel ufortable going up, knowing that Andrea is
upstairs?"
I found it amusing, "I won''t feel better if I didn''t go up."
Heughed, but he quickly stopped. His gaze deepened when he looked at my belly, and he said, "You
know you shouldn''t be running around town now. You''re going to give birth soon."
I nodded and asked curiously, "How did you know that Andrea hade?"
"The receptionist''s face was ugly. I guess she said something she shouldn''t say," he replied, and his
voice very lightly.
A smart person indeed thought differently.
Since he had somehow pieced together what happened in the lobby, I kept silent.
