185 NOT WILLING TO GIVE UP (1/2)
Though the front desk threesome could be a little careless, they were actually quite competent. They had dealt with almost every big player in Supreme City as well as some unscrupulous individuals who wanted to do harm to Zhong Industries.
Without further ado, they contacted the security surveillance team and inquired about the movement of San Shi. Their faces became pale in horror when they found out that she had gone to the president's floor and had just walked in. For a moment, it seemed like their deaths had been decided.
”Why hasn't the security team been notified about this matter?” The only male member of the team asked the panicking women, drawing their attention to the anomaly.
”That's true. If she was unwelcome, we would have probably heard something by now.” There was relief in her voice. There was still hope.
”I can call upstairs. The boss' receptionist is my good friend.” The other said while dialling.
She talked in low tones for a moment before putting the phone away with a ridiculous look on her face. It seemed like one poke would send her tumbling down.
”What is it? Are we done for or what?” The other woman asked impatiently.
”It seems that our carelessness has saved us this time.”
”What do you mean?” The man could not help leaning even closer to learn more.
Actually, this man used to be an upright person without any interest in gossip or other people's business. He would work like a machine, signing people in and out without caring about their identities or stories. His work ethic had been irrefutable at that time.
However, after working with two women who lived with gossip in their blood, he had lost his original spirit. He had discovered that he had been doing his job in the most boring way possible. As a front desk officer, he had a literal front seat to the best information. Now, he would not let anything juicy pass him by.
”It turns out that San Shi is a personal associate of the boss.”
The three of them were silent for a moment as they took in this information.
”Her? Are you sure?” The other woman asked loudly.
The boss had never had 'personal associates' as far as they knew, and they knew everything. San Shi was so unremarkable!
”Apparently, she is someone we cannot offend. So, you better watch your tongue.”
