Seeing how stumped they were, Megan shrugged in resignation. She had no intention to put them in a tight spot. It was just a harmless joke.
Handing the notepads to one of the girls, she shook her head and chuckled lightly. “It's alright.
I was just joking around. Looks like I'll need to give your boss a call.” She sighed and added, “I thought I could head up after getting to know where his office is.”
Megan had no choice but to pull her phone out. She was about to call Jake when his secretary appeared.
The secretary was clearly stunned to see her. He scurried over to Megan and stopped upon seeing the three receptionists surrounding Megan. “Why didn't you call? Are you chatting
with the receptionists?” he questioned.
Megan pursed her lips awkwardly, at a loss for words.
“Err, it's nothing. Let's go.”
It was too long an explanation, so she hurriedly urged the secretary to lead her out of the lobby.
The receptionists watched in surprise as Jake's secretary led Megan toward the elevator.
Normally, the secretary would only head down to welcome VIPs.
Is Megan someone important, too?
Megan followed Jake's secretary to his office, which was empty. There were rows of files lined up against both walls in the office.
“Please wait here. Mr. Wilson is still in a meeting.
It might take...”
The secretary was explaining things to Megan when the door opened, cutting her explanation short. It was Jake, clad in a striped suit.
As he strode in, the secretary went over and greeted him politely. “Mr. Wilson.” He also took the stuff in his arms from him.
