They were on the seventh floor. If the principal really jumped down, he would die for sure.
"Sir, it's not that I don't wanna help. Emmett and I..."
"Elaine!"
The principal suddenly shouted and grabbed Elaine's hand. He asked with tears in his eyes, "Do you
want me to kneel down?"
My God!
Elaine almost fainted and said in a trembling voice, "Alright! I will try my best. But..."
However, she was likely to be directly driven out by Emmett.
Everybody knew Emmett had a bad temper.
The principal thanked her profusely.
Elaine walked out of the principal's office and looked at the sky. She felt stressed.
She had made the promise, so she couldn't be dejected.
Elaine looked at her cell phone. It was four in the afternoon.
She decided to go to the company to find Emmett.
Elaine took a taxi and arrived at the Tianyi Group.
...
Elaine was stopped in the lobby on the first floor.
"Miss, where is your ID card?"
Only those with the magnetic identity cards could enter the building of the Tianyi Group.
When Elaine worked in the Tianyi Group as Emmett's temporary assistant, she had her own card.
But now...
She had long lost her card. Even if she could find it, that card should have been useless.
Elaine said, "I am Mr. Smith's assistant. I used to work here. Don't you know me?"
"I'm sorry, Miss. We are the newly transferred security staff. Even if we know you, you are not allowed
to go in without a card. This is the company's rule. Miss, you can go to the front desk to make an
appointment. An appointment card would also work."
The staff had a cold expression on his face and did not let Elaine in.
'This little girl looks like a high school student. She actually said that she was Mr. Smith's assistant.
She's obviously bragging. Kids nowadays...'
There was nothing Elaine could do, so she went to the front desk with pouted lips.
The receptionist recognized Elaine at a glance!
"Hi, Miss Elaine. Are you here for Mr. Smith?"
The receptionist smiled and stood up.
After all, Mr. Smith used to love Elaine. She didn't know if Elaine was with Mr. Smith.
Therefore, she didn't want to offend Elaine.
Elaine immediately smiled and said, "Yes. Please give me an appointment card. I have something
important to talk to Mr. Smith."
The smile froze on the receptionist's lips. She asked, "Didn't Mr. Smith order others to let you in?"
"Yes..."
Elaine shook her head, saying, "I decided to come here on a whim, so he didn't know..."
Bad-bear Smith was narrow-minded. Even if he knew that she was here, he would definitely ignore her.
"I'm sorry. I don't have authority to give you an appointment card. I need to call my superior. I'm just a
receptionist. I've no right to do this. Why don't you give Mr. Smith a call? With his permission, even a
dog could go in."
Elaine didn't know how to react to her words.
...
What did she mean? Did she just compare her to a dog?
Elaine took out her phone and stood in the hall.
She put in Emmett's cell phone number.
But...
She didn't dare to dial.
Yesterday, she was the one that wanted the break-up with Emmett.
Elaine was upset and walked up and down the hall. Long time had passed before she heard a person
calling her.
"Elaine? What are you doing? Have you lost anything?"
Hearing this, Elaine looked up at the person.
'Damn it! It's Jasper. Scheming Jasper!'
"Hello, Vice-President Hall. So nice to see you! It's my honor that you can recognize me!"
Jasper, dressed in a suit, was shocked.
'What does Elaine mean?'
'We haven't seen each other for only a few days. Why does she say that? Did she have a plastic
surgery?'
"Shouldn't I recognize you? You're really funny. Why are you here? Looking for Emmett?"
Jasper naturally knew how important Elaine was to Emmett. If nothing went wrong, Elaine would
become Emmett's wife, the hostess of the ZH Clan.
"I have something to talk to ... Mr. Smith..."
Elaine had wanted to say "Emmett", but changed halfway.
They had broken up. She was in no position to call him "Emmett". He was President Smith to her now.
"Let's go. I'll take you upstairs to him."
Jasper respectfully made an invitation gesture, which left the receptionist and security personnel
dumbfounded.
Luckily, they didn't offend Mr. Smith's ex-girlfriend.
Vice-President Hall was very powerful.
Apart from Mr. Smith, Vice-President Hall had the most power in this company.
Vice-President Hall bent down and stretched his arms, respectfully inviting the high school student to
the elevator.
Everyone was shocked.
As soon as Elaine had just stepped out of the elevator, she heard someone scream.
"My God! Elaine! I miss you so much!"
Before Elaine figured out what was going on, a fatty woman rushed over and hugged Elaine tightly.
"Hey..."
Elaine was stunned. After she regained her senses, Elaine said, "Sophia, you've lost a lot of weight."
"Really? Do I really look slimmer?"
Sophia touched her waist and happily spun around twice. Then, she wore a woebegone look and said,
"Elaine, since you left the company, I have been so tired. Not only has my workload increased, but also
my pressure has increased. I have to act in accordance with the will of Mr. Smith. I'm so tired! Elaine,
come back. When you were at the company, Mr. Smith was in a good mood."
...
Sophia sniffed.
Now, Mr. Smith wore a long face from the moment he entered the company to the moment he was off
duty. Even if he was very handsome, they still were afraid of him.
Elaine quickly glanced at Jasper beside her and stuck out her tongue, saying, "I don't think so. He had
a bad temper. Didn't he get angry all day long when I was there? I've never seen him being nice."
"Yeah. I agree with you...."
After hearing what Elaine said, Sophia nodded hard. Suddenly, she went silent as if she bit her tongue.
Then, she looked behind Elaine with a frightened look and pinched Elaine.
"It hurts! Sophia, why are you pinching me?"
Elaine pouted and wanted to continue griping about Emmett. Looking at Sophia's frightened look,
Elaine suddenly understood something. Thus, Elaine followed Sophia's gaze and slowly turned
around...
God!
Elaine was stunned.
It was Emmett!
At this moment, Emmett was leaning against the door, his eyes half-narrowed, expressionlessly looking
at Elaine.
Elaine was stunned for a few seconds and her lips trembled.
"Hi, Mr. Smith..."
Elaine forced a smile and waved her hand at Emmett.
...
Sophia returned to her position quickly, pretending that she couldn't see Elaine.
The entire secretarial room was silent.
Jasper looked at Elaine who was embarrassed and then at Emmett who kept a stony face. He quickly
said, Mr. Smith, Ms. Jones has something to talk to you, so I brought her here."
Emmett snorted coldly and glared at Elaine.
He directly turned around and entered his office. Then, he closed the door.
Elaine was startled by the sound of closing the door.
'What does he mean? Doesn't he want to see me?'
'I know I shouldn't have come! Yesterday, I insisted on breaking up with him. He is so proud. I dumped
him and it is a severe blow to his pride. No wonder he's mad at me.'
...
Now that she came looking for him, she was signing her own death warrant. She just offended Emmett
yesterday, but today, she had to come here to ask him for help.
Elaine curled her lips and directly turned around to walk towards the elevator.
'If the principal wants to jump, then let him be. My hands are tied.'
Now, she couldn't care for so much. When she saw Emmett, her legs trembled unconsciously.
"Hey, why are you leaving?" Jasper shouted loudly as he took a few steps forward and grabbed
Elaine's arm.
"Didn't you just see his attitude just now? You said I was here for him, but he pulled a long face and
didn't even glance at me like I'm not here. Then what am I still doing here?"
Elaine wanted to shake off Jasper's hand, but Jasper grabbed her tightly. So, Elaine straightened up to
look more imposing.
Jasper didn't know whether to laugh or cry and said, "Didn't you come ask him a favor? Since that, you
should show your good faith, right?"
Elaine remained silent for a few seconds before suddenly asking, "Why do you know I'm here to ask
him for a favor? I didn't tell you."
"Hey, why are you leaving?" Jasper shouted loudly as he took a few steps forward and grabbed
Elaine's arm.
"Didn't you just see his attitude just now? You said | was here for him, but he pulled a long face and
didn't even glance at me like I'm not here. Then what am | still doing here?"
Elaine wanted to shake off Jasper's hand, but Jasper grabbed her tightly. So, Elaine straightened up to
look more imposing.
Jasper didn't know whether to laugh or cry and said, "Didn't you come ask him a favor? Since that, you
should show your good faith, right?"
Elaine remained silent for a few seconds before suddenly asking, "Why do you know I'm here to ask
him for a favor? | didn't tell you."
