"Inside, isn't it obvious?"
"You're not allowed to enter, Sir. Mr. Vincent Gray is still in a meeting with an important guest," Maria insisted. She didn't budge even under Vernon's intimidation. "Be civil and step back."
Vernon wanted to laugh because this bitch dared to prevent his entry.
How could she dare to block her entry when it was obvious that Vincent favored him so much?
Thus, he did the oldest trick in his book, "BIG BRO! MAY I COME IN?!" Vernon yelled, calling Vincent with the endearing 'Big bro' that would surely entice Vincent's brotherly feelings.
And it worked.
Ten seconds later, there was an answer from the inside, "Just come in!"
"Heh, see? I don't understand why you need to keep me away from my Big bro. We're obviously so close, and there is nothing to hide between us!" Vernon said proudly.
Maria could only bite her lower lip and turned her back. She opened the CEO's office door and muttered, "Come in, Sir."
