We Made A Bet
“What?? Can’t pay up?? I can consider you if you kneel and lick my shoes, maybe I can show you a bit of mercy” the receptionist said and Amelia remained there without a single ounce of anger, she had no expression on.
“I’ll call him again, maybe he didn’t hear what I said earlier ” Amelia responded calmly and tried to call George again but the receptionist snarled
“You can’t do that, just pay up and stop looking for excuses, shameless woman” The receptionist couldn’t wait to get the alert of 180 dollars in her phone.
Amelia was about to argue when a hurried footstep came from the stairs, she raised her head and saw George running down with sweat on his forehead.
The receptionist had a smile on, but her smile dropped little by little as her eyes shrieked.
He really came, but then the receptionist shook off the thought, that maybe it was a coincidence that he came down at this moment.
“Sir George, this lady is uncultured and ill-mannered, she tried to force her way into the office saying she was an employee at the top floor, she’s being making a scene” the receptionist immediately complained to George so he could see that she was doing her job and that Amelia was at fault.
“Mrs …” George trailed off when seeing Amelia’s glare at him, she didn’t want him to expose her identity in the office which he immediately understood but then again, he wondered why, cause any woman in her position would want people to flatter them and they would even brag with the name ‘Ron’ just to get attention but Amelia not only conceal her name but also remained humble which George felt happy about, she wasn’t a peacock.
His level of respect for her, heightened again.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
“I’m sorry for coming late, the elevator is under repair for now so I had to take the stairs down, which was hectic , please forgive me” George almost kowtowed to Amelia and she just shook her head at him
“It’s no problem, sorry for the trouble I caused you, I just want you to clear the air around here, I wasn’t allowed to the top floor by a certain someone ”
Amelia’s gaze brushed past the already paled Receptionist who was shivering all over with a disorganized face.
“Who dares to stop the CEO’s new assistant from coming to the top floor??” George swept his gaze around and the employees around immediately held their breath while some were bold enough to point at the receptionist.
George’s expression turned ugly as he looked at the receptionist who acted like a fly that had stepped on poop, the very first time he came in.
“You..” George looked at the receptionist whose knees were about to give up, already weak to keep up, she wasn’t standing with a straight back anymore.
“And who has the effrontery to make my guest displeased??” A cold voice rang out from the front door and everybody turned towards the voice.
The receptionist paled even more As her lips turned blue from paleness, she was doomed, she had no idea that this lady was their CEO’s assistant and guest and she had blandly disrespected her.
Amelia’s eyes flashed in pity when she saw Alexander who was coming from the front door.
Such a fine man but unfortunately, he couldn’t be united with his lover because of her.
She suddenly felt remorseful towards Alexander so she made a promise to herself that she would be of good conduct and take care of him so that he wouldn’t be frustrated, he must’ve gone to soothe his girlfriend again so she didn’t plan on giving him a hard time.
Alexander made his way in with both hands by his sides, he threw a cold glance at the receptionist before looking at Amelia.
His brows furrowed when he saw an expression he couldn’t describe in Amelia’s eyes, was that a look of pity??
He wasn’t sure as he looked for a second time but she had already turned her head to look at the receptionist.
Alexander wondered if he had seen wrong, he wasn’t a person who looked pitiful to be pitied.
“Sir Ron, this incompetent imbecile not only stopped Mrs Amelia from coming to the top floor but she also called her names,” George said while fixing his gaze on the receptionist who was already crying bucket.
“And also asked me to pay her 180 dollars if I turn out to be a fraud and one of the numerous girls who are dying to sleep their way to your bed” Amelia didn’t plan on giving the receptionist a way out.
Alexander’s expression turned from a frown to a deeper and tight frown, accompanied by a glare. Who was this receptionist to disrespect his wife??
If only the receptionist knew that Amelia was vengeful, she always like to pay back those who offended her, she was never the one to suffer any losses.
Alexander walked towards Amelia and asked in a high-pitched voice “How would you like to return the favor??”
The other employee held their breath so as not to get noticed by the CEO, they were thankful that they immediately washed their hands off the matter. else their life would have also been in this lady’s hands.
George had a small grin on his face when he heard that.
Amelia stared into Alexander’s eyes as he was standing faced her, for some reasons, she felt giddy and her heart wasn’t at rest.
He always pampered her as if…
Shut it, Amy!
Amelia immediately removed her gaze from Alexander’s as she tried to stabilize her mood while repeating this slogan; He’s already taken and he won’t even take a fancy to you, his ideal types are noble women while she was just a sold-off children without a mother or any ounce of gracefulness.
With that, her mood was stable as she had a clear mind, she wasn’t even prepared to be in a serious relationship she didn’t want to be in a relationship because, to her, men were harmful, she could lose her life just like her mother lost her life because of her dad, her father used his influence to brush off the facts that her mother died due to him, and state that her mother died due to cancer, she wasn’t going to thread that path like her mother.
So she dispelled all thoughts of Alexander and she focused on the main topic.
“I don’t need to say it as we made a bet, you must still remember your words clearly, right??!” Amelia said with a small smile that was nerve-wracking.
The receptionist burst into tears as she begged Amelia “I’m sorry I don’t want to lose my job, I’m really sorry, I was ignorant “
