I frowned at her, and almost half a minute passed before I said to her wryly, "Miss Cinny, I didn’t know why you worked as a waitress before this, but now I d o. Your father wouldn’t be as foolish as you are, and he must have a clear understanding of your foolishness when he asked you to work as a waitress. He would have been ruined if he had let you work a job related t o his career.”
"You!" Fiona was so angry that her neck turned red, and she could not come up with anything to rebut what I said.
Moreover, both her brothers had made the wise decision to leave. She had no assistants now. It would be useless for her to continue pestering me now since she would be the one who ended up humiliated.
I circled past her and walked into the restaurant.
Fiona did not bother me again until when the workday ended, but I was still in a pretty bad mood for the entire day. I hated it when people interrupted my peaceful life.
I was about to end my day at work and go home when Keith appeared at my office door.
"Miss Lane, can we talk in private?" he asked with a
solemn expression on his face.
I pursed my lips together and nodded. "Yes."
Keith walked into the office and sat down in a chair while I got up and poured him a glass of water before sitting down in front of him again. "What did you want to talk to me about, Assistant Lang?"
He pursed his lips together and said, "President Grant wants to see you."
I frowned and said, "Assistant Lang, please inform President Grant that I'm afraid I won’t have time to talk to him because I need to pick up my kid from kindergarten."
Keith sighed softly. "You know that I must complete the tasks that President Grant gives me."
What he implied was that he would not give up until I said yes.
I felt as if I had no choice. I asked, "Where is he?"
"At the entrance."
I nodded and walked back to my office table.
He thought I was still against it and said, "Miss Lane, all President Grant wants is to see you."
