Chapter 847 - Mysterious Miss Young (1) (1/2)

~ Chicago, K Industries HQ building ~

4:41 PM

In the main hallway…

Lilian is upset. She is enduring questionable looks from the receptionists for almost an hour. She is trying to look busy, but in the hallway where people are only coming and going without lingering, her constant presence is difficult to ignore. She is flipping through the same magazine for the fifth time already, and her gaze is not leaving that front entrance. So many people got in and out, but there are no traces of mysterious Miss Young. She can't help but wonder if she understood it wrongly. What if that woman waited during his meeting at 3 PM? No, no… she saw Jasper return after that meeting and there was no one in his office at that time. But, where is that mysterious woman?

Just at that time, she saw an elegant young woman enter through main entrance. Lilian's gaze didn't leave her.

Ellie's steps are even and gracious. She is tall but not too tall, thin waist and curves in all the right places are undeniable. And that sleeveless knee length flowy dress emphasizes her figure without revealing too much. Lilian can see that she has long and well-shaped legs. And why is that light blue dress shimmering in teal color? Paired up with nude high heeled shoes and a matching purse, Lilian has to admit that Ellie is a force to be reckoned with. Attention grabbing yet modest at the same time. And how can her face look so radiant and flawless when she does not seem to have any makeup on?

Lilian was lost in her thoughts, and she got pulled out of her daze only when she saw Faith approach Ellie.

”Miss Young?”, Faith asked Ellie with a smile.

”Yes.”

”I am Faith, CEO Kiani's secretary. Allow me to escort you to his office. This way, please…”, Faith gestured toward elevators.

Lilian didn't dare to follow them right away, but a minute later she took the second elevator upstairs.

With how Ellie looks, Lilian is confident that even if she is not Jasper's girlfriend, Jasper will be interested in her. And Lilian can't get over the fact that Jasper told her no romance at work, yet he invited this woman.

”CEO Kiani's meeting will be over at five.” Faith informed Ellie. ”Please make yourself comfortable. Can I offer you a beverage?”

”Water, please.”

Faith was about to leave, but then she remembered that there are options: ”Do you want that water to be room temperature or with ice? And we have lemon and berry flavored water as well.”

Ellie thought how in about ten minutes she will see Jasper again, and suddenly felt that it's hot.

”Lemon water, with ice please.”

Faith nodded. ”I will be back in a minute.”
