The sight that was truly astonishing was that of the child perched on Ms. Pritchard's shoulder.
Wasn't he the same child that the CEO often brought into the company, rumored to be his illegitimate son? That rumor had spread throughout The Tim Group like wildfire.
The child was alleged to be the product of a secret affair between the CEO and that actress Sharon. But why was he with Ms. Pritchard now?
The intricate circumstances weren’t something the receptionists were privy to.
The voluptuous receptionist was particularly enthusiastic this time, "Ms. Pritchard, are you here to see the CEO? I'll escort you to the private elevator."
Agnes didn't want to attract attention, so she briskly walked towards the elevator. Once she stepped into the elevator, she breathed a sigh of relief.
The elevator smoothly ascended, halting at the 66th floor. Stepping out of the elevator, she arrived at Jared's secretarial department. It was a vast open-plan office.
It was lunchtime, and most of the staff had gone out for a bite. Only a few remained, hard at work.
Agnes spotted Anita Drake.
Anita was dressed in a sharp professional attire. She seemed much more composed than before.
Anita was visibly surprised to see Agnes, almost not recognizing her, "Agnes, is that you?"
Agnes nodded with a smile, "It’s been years, Anita."
"It's been too long, Agnes. How have you been these years?"
Anita had been at The Tim Group for four years, and she'd heard much about Agnes. Everyone knew that four years ago, the CEO and Agnes divorced. The once darling of Hollywood had suddenly vanished from the public eye.
Who would have thought that four years later, Agnes would return?
Agnes managed a smile, "I'm doing well, how about you?"
"I've recently been promoted, I'm a senior secretary now."
