Chapter 1136 Perseverance (1/2)
”Hello, Miss He. How can I help you?”
The receptionist quickly raised her hand and stood in Michelle's way as soon as she saw her walking in the lobby. ”I'm so sorry to tell you that Mr. Gu is not in the company now,” she explained to Michelle, lowering her head so her hair curtained her satisfied smirk.
The day Jacob returned, he forbade all of his employees from granting Michelle access into the building. The only reason the receptionist lied to Michelle was to save her from embarrassment.
Michelle felt utterly humiliated and she decided then and there to take matters into her own hands.
”Get out of my way!”
Michelle snapped and her face contorted with a venomous outburst that changed her placid eyes into living flames that roved over her figure. She pushed the unsuspecting receptionist with her all strength, sending her crashing to the floor in an instant.
Then, without even glancing back to look at the woman on the floor, Michelle strolled straight across the hall.
Michelle's fists were clenched and her eyes were blazing with fire, the lambent glow bathing her in an evil red light. They had only seen the sweeter and gentler side of her, but today, Michelle was going to show them who she really was.
One night was all it had taken to change her forever.
”Miss He!”
The receptionist called out to her from behind. In truth, Michelle's violent outburst came as a big surprise to her and she wondered what could have triggered this kind of animosity in such a gentle woman. After staggering back to her feet, she ran after Michelle and stopped her again.
”I'm sorry, but President Gu has ordered us not to allow you to enter the HT Group.”
The receptionist told Michelle the truth.
Almost immediately, Michelle's face dimmed as if someone had drained the life out of her.
Michelle paused for a while, and then slowly raised her head. As Michelle stared directly into the receptionist's eyes, the resentment in her eyes was enough to send shivers down the receptionist's spine.
”Excuse me! What did you just say?”
'I'm forbidden from entering the HT Group?
No! That can't be right!
Jacob would never do that to me!' Michelle's brain was scrambling to make sense of it all.
