Chapter 831:
At that moment, Joey stepped forward and gave me a gentle push. I had no choice. In this situation, I couldn’t just stand by and watch Mr. Hall suffer because of me, so I reluctantly nodded.
“Alright, I’ll think of a way.”
“You have to go see him right now. Our company is producing food, and all the food has an expiry date. We can’t delay any longer!” Mr. Hall said frantically.
“He’s in New York now. We’ll have to wait for him to come back,” I said.
Mr. Hall replied, “I’ve heard from someone that Mr. Wharton returned to City A yesterday. He’s at the Wharton Group right now. If you go there, you’ll definitely be able to find him!”
Mr. Hall reached out and handed me the bag from my desk.
“He’s back?” I asked, surprised.
“He came back yesterday? But why didn’t he go home last night?”
“He’s back,” Mr. Hall confirmed with a nod.
In the end, I had no choice but to take the bag from Mr. Hall’s hand.
Five minutes later, I walked into the Wharton Group building.
I was all too familiar with the Wharton Group. This was once where I worked every day. I hadn’t been here in the past few years, and now, suddenly returning, I didn’t dare step inside.
After entering the main hall and taking the elevator, I realized that not much had changed. It brought back memories of the past. I had spent several years of my youth here, working hard and building my career.
Getting out of the elevator, I quickly lowered my head and walked briskly toward the president’s office, hoping not to run into any former colleagues.
“Miss, who are you looking for?”
A young and beautiful lady at the desk outside the president’s office saw me and quickly stood up.
I remembered that the former secretary wasn’t the same as this one. It seemed that Herbert had changed his secretary. This new secretary was young and beautiful.
“I’m looking for Mr. Wharton,” I replied calmly, though I felt a bit nervous inside.
The secretary immediately smiled and asked, “Do you have an appointment?”
“No,” I answered.
Upon hearing this, the secretary’s smile remained, but her tone became firmer.
“I’m sorry, Miss. Without an appointment, you won’t be able to see him.”
“I have something urgent to discuss with him. Could you please inform him?” I asked.
The secretary still smiled, but her attitude had turned more rigid.
“I’m sorry, we have to follow procedure. No one can see Mr. Wharton without an appointment. His time is very precious.”
Hearing this, my face darkened. I glanced at the two dark red doors in front of me and made up my mind. Without hesitation, I rushed forward.
“Miss, you can’t just barge in…”
The secretary quickly moved around her desk to stop me, but I had already reached out and pushed open one of the office doors, stepping inside.
