Chapter151
This office area is off–limits to anyone except those who need to
report to Reginald in person. Laney can come and go so easily
here, it’s not hard to imagine it’s a privilege given by the
Thorton family.
Forget it, let the soldiers come to block.
Even though Laney had the intention to confront her, she
believed she wouldn’t do anything out of lineon Reginald’s turf.
She has class and manners, not like Amanda.
Thinking about this, she greeted with a smile and said, “Hello,
Ms. Walton, is there something you need from me?”
Laney was playing with an electronic pen, her face sweet, her
smile even sweeter. “I came to find Reginald.“‘
She started to feel sad and said, “But I think I came at the wrong
time, Ms. Pierce. Can you help me call Reginald?”
There were so many employees here, but she had to make the
call. It would have seemed too fake if she didn’t, like she was
testing the waters.
Adelaide stayed calm and said, “Ms. Walton, in the company,
unless it’s work–related, we employees usually can’t just call the
Chapter151
boss directly. How about this, I’ll text Mr. Hurst and ask?”
“Okay, thank you so much,” Laney said, with her hands.
together and head tilted, expressing gratitude.
So, Adelaide took out her phone and quickly messaged Nathan
on WhatsApp.
Nathan replied in no time.
She put down her phone and said to Laney, “Mr. Hurst is coming
down right away!”
At the mention of this, Laney raised an eyebrow, looking
surprised. “Why did Mr. Hurst come down?”
It was like blaming Adelaide for doing such a lousy job that not
even a single person could be called.
She asked again, “Did you deliberately ask Mr. Hurst to come
down and dismiss me?”
Seeing her being aggressive, Mara made everyone nervous.
Some people were frantically texting Nathan on the side, telling
him to come quickly.
Adelaide was calm as water, but it looks like she couldn’t hold it
in anymore.
She said, “Ms. Walton, my job was an architect, not Mr.
Chapter151
Thorton’s personal assistant, and definitely not yours.”
“I was just a worker, whether it was Mr. Hurst or Mr. Thorton who came down, it wasn’t up to me to decide. I’ve done delivering the message, can Ms. Walton give me back my
workstation now, I need to work.”
The atmosphere fell into dead silence.
But felt the waves surging in the dark.
When everyone thought Laney would get angry, but she didn’t, instead she was paying extra attention to Adelaide’s name tag.
“Adelaide,” she said slowly, wondering what this meant.
The next second, Laney looked up, with a smile on her face
again, “Adelaide, I kinda like you, can we be friends?”
Adelaide: “???”
Others gasped in shock.
The atmosphere suddenly took a weird turn.
This time, Laney stood up, stood in front of her, and repeated
the question, “Is it okay?”
Adelaide awkwardly took a step back, feeling a bit puzzled by
Laney’s unconventional behavior.

“Ms. Walton,” Nathan’s voice at that moment was like a
godsend, approaching from behind.
Laney looked away from Adelaide and towards Nathan, with a
clear expression of annoyance as if she had been interrupted.
Adelaide caught it.
She seemed to understand what Reginald said to her yesterday,
Don’t judge a book by its cover…
In a flash, Laney put on a sweet smile again, “Is Reginald still in
the meeting?”
&
Nathan nodded, “Yes, Mr. Thorton is in a meeting. Ms. Walton,
he made it clear yesterday that he won’t see anyone without an
appointment. Please don’t put us in a difficult position, okay?”
