Andre took a deep breath in the office, with the financial manager standing in front of him, waiting for his decision.
A hint of helplessness flashed in Andre's deep eyes, as he just got scolded by his wife.
"I promise, I'll be home tonight."
"No, I need to see you now." Mia shouted into her phone at Andre in the hall.
After hanging up the phone, she turned to the receptionist and said, "Alright, I have an appointment with Andre, let me in, I need to see him."
The receptionist was still in a daze, "You, you, you are the CEO's wife?"
This girl looked too young, plus, the CEO was already married?
Mia nodded, "I rushed out and forgot to bring our marriage certificate. Shall I call our butler to bring some documents to prove my identity?"
The receptionist quickly shook her head. "Ma'am, please hold on, we need to confirm it."
Although Mia's words and attitude seemed very real, they decided to bite the bullet and contact one of the CEO's secretaries to verify Mia's claim.
The receptionist contacted the CEO's assistant and explained the situation.
The secretary had no idea that the CEO was married and said, "This woman might be a scammer, just kick her out."
The receptionist hesitated and looked at Mia, "Ma'am, please leave. If you continue to disrupt our work, we will call security."
Mia squinted her eyes, "Andre won't see me?"
The receptionist nodded.
She looked at the people coming and going in the hall, thinking that she couldn't just barge in.
But since Andre wouldn't see her, Mia glanced at the couch not far away, "Fine, I'll wait for him there."
Mia sat there with her backpack on.
The receptionists looked at each other, puzzled.
After getting hung up by his wife, Andre's mood also worsened.
He knew she was here to find him, but he hid instead.
His emotions affected his work. He lost interest in looking at the financial report, "You can go now."
"Yes, sir."
The financial manager carefully took the files and left the CEO's office.
Mia downstairs was still waiting.
Soon, a secretary came in to deliver documents and mentioned the incident, "I heard from the receptionist downstairs that a girl claimed to be the CEO's wife and wanted to see you, I've already asked her to leave. These young people dare to say anything."
Andre's hand paused as he was flipping through the files, he looked up and asked, "Why didn't you tell me about this earlier?"
"Sir, we all thought you were still single."
Andre said coldly, "Is my ring too small or you guys just didn't notice?"
The secretary was startled when she saw the wedding ring on Andre's ring finger.
"Sir, was that really your wife just now?"
Andre put down his pen, stood up and prepared to go downstairs to pick up Mia.
Suddenly, he stopped.
The secretary seemed scared, "Sir, your wife was just asked to leave, I, I..."
