Chapter 27 – She’s at Andrews Enterprise?
At first glance, she knew it was Nick, even though the message was unsigned.
In Andrews’ Villa?
Was this the official word on the divorce?
She didn’t think much of it; divorce or no divorce had little effect on her.
After looking through a number of famous works, she had a basic design in her mind and planned to visit the site of that house tomorrow.
Victoria drove to Nick’s office early the next morning.
As she was going to be there, she wanted to inform Nick, and ask him a few questions.
It was the second time she had come to his office, and the receptionist seemed to have memorized her face and frowned at the sight of her.
“I’m sorry, this young lady. If you’d like to talk about business cooperation, make an appointment to see Mr. Andrews first. Thank you for your cooperation.”
The last time when Victoria came over, the receptionist had thought of her as the kind of woman who wanted to see Nick in a thousand ways, waiting for glory and riches.
“I’m Mr. Andrews’ interior designer and would like to come over and consult with him on a few questions. Please ask him if he’s available, it’ll only take ten minutes.”
The receptionist looked her up and down a few times. She realized her behaviour was natural, generous and was clear-eyed, so she hit the intercom.
After a minute, she hung up and looked up to Victoria, “Miss, turn right. Mr. Andrews has asked you to take the exclusive elevator that takes you straight to the top floor.”
After identifying her, the front desk lady changed her attitude. It looked like she usually got genuinely annoyed at the women who pursued Nick.
Victoria walked up to the exclusive elevator and was just about to get in when the elevator stopped and the person who came out of it turned out to be Elizabeth.
How did Elizabeth end up here?
“Shit!” she mentally said.
But before she could avoid her, Elizabeth had already called her over.
“Victoria?”
A flash of surprise appeared in Elizabeth’s eyes, followed by anger, “What are you doing here? Trying to pester Nick? Didn’t I make it clear to you last time?”
Elizabeth tried to control her temper without losing her temper.
“Victoria, if you want money, I can give it to you, but it really isn’t possible for you and Nick, and I don’t want everyone to end up in too much trouble. And you know very well that Nick has always had someone in mind.”
“Mrs. Andrews, I’m only here because of work.”
Elizabeth clearly didn’t believe it. She hadn’t heard of Victoria’s company. It was supposed to be a small studio, so how could she possibly hook up with Andrews Enterprise executives.
A sharp frown crossed her brow.
“You took advantage of being the president’s wife?”
Victoria was a little uncomfortable inside, but was patient.
“No, I said I wouldn’t pester Nick. You can call him right away if you don’t believe me, I have not initiated a meeting with him since he returned home.”
Elizabeth frowned and pointed to the exclusive elevator behind her, “This elevator is only accessible with Nick’s permission, did you just try to get in here?”
Victoria just wanted to get out of there, she didn’t want to explain too much.
“I didn’t know this was an exclusive elevator, so where is the employee elevator, please?” She asked frankly.
Elizabeth pointed to the other side, “That way, but Victoria, I have a word… You better not have anything else on your mind.”
Victoria stayed polite as she nodded to her before walking to the other side.
As soon as she got into the elevator, she breathed a sigh of relief.
If Elizabeth misunderstood that she was pestering Nick with her tactics, she would probably come to the studio to trouble her.
It looked like it was important for her to keep distance from Nick, besides for work.
The elevator reached the top floor and she was directed by Declan to Nick’s office.
Nick was answering the phone, when his eyes signalled her to sit on the couch off to the other side.
Victoria nodded, politely. Slowly easing her steps she sat down on the sofa.
And Nick’s tone became slightly impatient, “I told you I did not meet her, Mom. Don’t be suspicious all the time.”
Turned out it was Elizabeth on the phone.
Elizabeth actually called and asked Nick about it.
“Nick, I just saw her at the building, I guess she’s here to see you. Be careful, don’t make trouble when you’re almost divorced, her family has a lot on their mind.”
Nick’s brow furrowed, she came to Andrews Enterprise?
Needless to say, it must be to see him.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
She and her family really didn’t give up.
The thought of not being able to divorce her next for a while bothered him.
