Chapter 464


    ?


    Sneaking a look at Jacob''s phone was the only way she managed to get it. But never mind that. Soon enough, she''d be spending all her time with Connor.


    Lisa shot a fierce re at the four receptionists across the room. They seemed a bit rattled, huddling together and whispering. Yet, doubt lingered in their eyes. Lisa was determined to teach them a lessonter.


    Sure, Chloe''s bullying was one thing, but she wouldn''t take being pushed around by a few receptionists. As the minutes ticked by and her call went unanswered, Lisa''s confidence started to waver. Panic was clearly starting to show on her face. The receptionists, quick to catch onto the situation, sensed what was happening as they watched her call go unanswered.


    One of them, braver than the rest, stepped forward with a smirk. "You''re not faking it, are you? Our CEO''s private number isn''t just handed out to anyone."


    Lisa shot back, "It''s real. It''s your CEO''s number."


    "We''ve seen this act before, and honestly, you''re the worst performer we''vee across."


    "I''m not faking anything. Connor agreed just yesterday to make me his personal assistant. Just you wait. Once I''m in, you''ll be the first ones I get him to fire."


    Watching Lisa''s frustration only convinced them more that she was bluffing a total dreamer.


    "Come on, everyone knows our CEO only has Teddy as his personal assistant. You, of all people..."


    The receptionist shook her head,


    clicking her tongue in disapproval. Lisa was fuming. Here she was, a bona fide member of the wealthy Meadows family, being looked down on by some receptionists barely making ends meet.


    But theirments sparked an idea. Teddy. She could call Teddy. Since she''d worked under him before to help clear Ann''s name, she still had his number. She dialed it immediately.


    Thankfully, this time, the call connected right away. Lisa spoke in a nearmanding tone, "Teddy? It''s Lisa. Come down here and get me, right now."


    After a few seconds, she hung up with a triumphant grin. She turned to the receptionists, brimming with smugness, "You''re all done for. I''ll have you packing your bags in no time."


    The receptionists exchanged


    skeptical nces. One of them, unwilling to back down, challenged her, "Teddy''s not someone you can just boss around. Fine, I''ll wait. want to see if he''ll reallye down for you." Content rights belong to N?velDrama.Org.

    Everyone knew Teddy was top of thedder at CNR, just below the CEO. Who else but the CEO could order him around? The way Lisa had talked so arrogantly on the phone-it couldn''t possibly be Teddy she''d


    spoken to.


    But minutester, Teddy did show up. The receptionists were thrown into a panic. Teddy, sharp in his suit, walked over with a calm demeanor. "Ms. Chloe, what''s the issue here?"


    In that moment, Lisa''s pride and smugness soared to new heights. She looked down at the receptionists with disdain, "Teddy, these folks are really getting on my nerves. Have them shown out of CNR Tower, pronto."
