But she failed to notice that Albert’s face was growing darker by the second.
It was obvious–between the receptionist and Grace, he’d choose Grace without hesitation.
After all, she could bring far more value to his company.
As for a low–level receptionist? She was expendable.
“Shut up. Get out,” Albert growled under his breath, barely keeping his temper in check.
The receptionist flinched, still hoping he’d stand up for her.
She felt so wronged.
She just showed up to work, yet she landed her in this mess.
“But Mr. Hayes, I was just doing my job. How could that be wrong?
She pointed at Grace. “She’s the one who barged in here acting like she owns the place. That’s why this happened!”
She tried to go on, but Albert had reached his limit.
He kicked her hard, knocking her to the floor.
“I said enough–are you deaf? “If you don’t need your ears, go donate them to someone who does.”
He jabbed a finger toward the door. “Get out of my sight.”
Whatever she was about to say died on her lips.
Her mouth snapped shut.
She hadn’t expected Albert to be like this.
She really thought he’d take her side.
But in the end, he shouted at her like she was nothing and told her to get lost.
This was a classic case of being used and tossed aside.
Seeing Albert so furious, she didn’t dare linger a second longer.
Staying would only make things worse.
So, she scrambled toward the door, opened it, and slipped out, tail between her legs.
Unsurprisingly, there was a crowd gathered outside the door.
The moment the receptionist opened it, she locked eyes with the curious stares waiting beyond.
When the others saw the door swing open, they jumped in surprise and quickly scurried back to their desks.
But seeing the receptionist’s disheveled state only made them more curious about what had gone on inside.
She covered her face and ran off in tears.
She couldn’t stand to stay here another second.
Someone thoughtfully shut the door behind her, sealing off the outside world in an instant.
To Grace, it was like watching a clown show.
She had no interest in getting involved with any of these people or their drama.

Now that she’d gotten the answers she came for, she had no intenon of staying a moment longer it was a complete waste of
time
Albert turned his head and caught the look on Grace’s face aloof and full of contempt.
Instantly, something soured inside him.
What was that look supposed to mean?
Did she come all this way just to watch him make a fool of himself?
And what did his employees have to do with her anyway?
Why should she care whether they were competent or not?
Albert’s expression darkened, and even his tone took on a harsh edge.
“Madam Grace, if you’ve got something to say, just say it. Sitting Here being cryptic is a waste of everyone’s time.”
Hearing that, Grace found it a bit amusing.
Jason knew exactly why they had come.
And now, after everything Julian had done, Albert was still sitting there like nothing happened.
Jason had to admit, he was genuinely impressed.
Whatever others might say, Albert’s shamelessness in this
moment was truly something.
Grace looked at his irritated expression and couldn’t help but laugh.
It was all because of his son that both of her daughters had ended up like this
