Mia initially thought that Ethan Moore was just another employee.
She didn't expect that it'd be this difficult to get to see him.
Since she had already come all the way here, she was definitely not leaving until she met him.
She didn't say anything more to the staff at the front desk, and instead walked to the waiting area nearby and took a seat as she waited for Chairman Moore to finish work.
Seeing that she refused to leave, the two female employees began mocking her.
"How thick-skinned..."
"Chairman Moore has never been appealed by women. So what if she looks a little pretty? Chairman Moore would never be interested in a woman like her."
William West went downstairs to settle some matters.
As he walked past the front desk, a female employee called out to him.
"Mr. West, this poor and pedantic lady came looking for Chairman Moore. We've already told her that Chairman Moore wouldn't meet her if she didn't have an appointment, but she's just being annoying and refusing to leave. She's been sitting there for two hours, and we're worried that she's tarnishing our image by putting up here. Should we get someone to chase her out?"
The employee glanced in Mia's direction as she said that.
Jealousy filled her eyes.
Although she appeared poor, she was undeniably pretty.
It upset her.
"Someone's looking for Chairman Moore?"
William looked towards the waiting area and saw Mia. He froze for a moment.
Then, a look of shock appeared on his face.
That woman... wasn't she Miss Quinn that Chairman Moore got him to check on?
What was she doing here?
Seeing that William's expression changed, the employee at the front desk thought that he was unhappy with Mia's hanging around too. She was full of conviction now. "I've never seen someone so shameless."
William watched for a few more seconds before approaching her.
He made a phone call.
"Chairman Moore, that Miss Quinn is here at the office. She says she wants to see you."
The reply was cold and serious, "Miss Quinn, who?"
"Mia Quinn."
"Her?" Ethan Moore was surprised.
"Yes. Chairman Moore, would you like to see her? I heard she's been waiting for two hours."
There were a few seconds of silence.
"Bring her up."
"Yes, Chairman Moore."
He hung up and walked to Mia.
He politely called her, "Miss Quinn."
Mia looked up and saw the pleasant man in a suit. She was caught off guard. "You are..."
William said, "I'm Chairman Moore's assistant. I heard you're looking for Chairman Moore?"
Mia stood up. "Yes, I'm looking for Ethan... I mean, Chairman Moore, to discuss something. Could you take me to him?"
She pleaded with him with eyes that said she was afraid of his rejection. She added, "I just need ten—no, five minutes. I won't take too much of his time."
William nodded and smiled. "Chairman Moore has agreed to see you. Miss Quinn, please come with me."
As they watched Mia enter the elevator, the expression of the front desk staff changed drastically.
"What's going on, aren't we supposed to chase her out?"
"Mr. West actually took her up? Could she really know Chairman Moore personally?"
