My Sleeping Beauty Husband

Chapter 76

Chapter 76 Can’t I Be Here?

“Someone like me? Then tell me what kind of person I am.” Cynthia was amused. She didn’t expect tha t there were so many snobs in this world.

How could the Smith Group’s receptionist be such a kind of person?

The receptionist sized Cynthia again with disdain and sneered, “You do have a good look, but don’t thin k you can step up the ladder of the wealthy circle with your good look. I’ve seen so many women like you. Mr. Smith. is a young and promising man. Of course, he is still the most wealt hy man in Fort. What kind of woman has he not seen? I advise you not to waste your effort.”

“You’re not Mr. Smith, so how do you know he doesn’t like me? Maybe I am just the kind of woman he li kes?” Cynthia smiled and tucked the hair behind her ears. Her face was fair with delicate and striking features, exuding a mixed feeling of seduction and cuteness when she sm iled.

The receptionist paused and frowned after she reacted. She couldn’t help but think Cynthia was a wom an

being good at tempting men.

“Are you kidding me? I don’t believe Mr. Smith will have such terrible taste and fall in love with you.” She raised her index finger and thumb of her right hand an d pinched Cynthia’s coat in disgust. “Look at your clothes. They look so cheap. You bumpkin, get out of here quickly while I’ m not angry.”

Cynthia looked down at her attire. A T– shirt, jeans, and a black jacket indeed seemed very simple. She needed more time to change clothes. She hurriedly arrived after preparing lunch as soon as she left the hospital.

However, the clothes that Alston bought for her were all custom– made without a brand. She didn’t expect the receptionist to ridicule them as cheap and look down on h er, which amused Cynthia.

Cynthia ignored the receptionist and was about to call Alston. A surprised male voice came from behind as

here?” she took out her mobile phone. “Mrs. Smith, why are you

She turned her head and saw that it was Alston’s assistant, Lloyd.

Wearing a well– cut suit, Lloyd looked tall and handsome. Adding the identity that he was Alston’s assistant, he was ver y popular with the female employees.

As soon as the receptionist saw Lloyd, her face blushed immediately, and her eyes were full of shyness . “Mr. Evans, why are you here?”

here?

Cynthia glanced at her and turned to Lloyd. “Mr. Evans, I’m here to find Alston for lunch.”

As she said that, she lifted the lunch box in her hand. “But your receptionist didn’t let me in and even sn eered at me. Doesn’t the Smith Group pay attention to the bearing when selecting employees?”

Lloyd glanced coldly at the receptionist, and she was dumbfounded at this moment. She never thought that the plainly dressed woman in front of her was really the Smith Group president’s wife.

Her face was pale, and her lips trembled for a long time before she reacted. She begged Cynthia with a mournful look. “Mrs. Smith, it’s my fault. I didn’t know you were Mrs. Smith just now. I’m so sorry. Can y ou not fire me? I have to support my family. It was hard for me to become an employee of the Smith Gr oup. Please,

don’t fire me.”

Cynthia was indifferent. “I’m not the president of the Smith Group, and it’s not up to me to decide wheth er you

will stay or not.”

The receptionist still wanted to say something, but Lloyd suddenly stood in front of Cynthia, saying in a cold

voice, “Remember your duty, and don’t pester Mrs. Smith.”

Lloyd usually had a smiling face and looked gentle, but now his face fell, which made the receptionist so

scared that she had to lower her head, not daring to say a word.

Seeing that she had stopped talking, Lloyd turned around and looked at Cynthia respectfully. “Mrs. Smit h, I

will bring you to Mr. Smith’s office.”

“All right.” Cynthia nodded, followed Lloyd, and got on the president’s exclusive elevator.

Seeing that the two left, the receptionist heaved a sigh of relief, and another receptionist next to her came

over and said in a low voice, “Didn’t I warn you before? You have to put your mind right and don’t under estimate others at will. Otherwise, you will accidentally offend someone noble. Am I right? You have off ended the president’s wife, and I guess you won’t be able to stay in the Smith Group anymore.”

But she smiled disapprovingly with a haughty expression. “Mr. Smith didn’t disclose his wife, so I guess she is

not favored. Otherwise, the previous assistant, Miss Taylor, wouldn’t maintain a high profile. I’ll be fine.”

As soon as she finished speaking, the phone beside her suddenly rang. She picked it up, and her face.

suddenly turned pale when she heard what the other end of the phone said.

The other receptionist saw her weird expression, so she leaned over and heard a sentence from the phone.

“Come here and settle your salary. Pack up your things and leave in the afternoon…”

Only Cynthia and Lloyd were in the elevator, and there was nothing but silence. As Cynthia watched th e floor

numbers change, Lloyd suddenly said, “Mrs. Smith, I’m sorry for the receptionist’s rudeness. I have alre ady

notified the personnel department.”

Cynthia paused. “No. It’s me not telling Alston in advance. She doesn’t know me, although she is mean …”

“Mrs. Smith.” Lloyd knew what she wanted to say and interrupted her. “She is Clare’s subordinate, so I can

take this opportunity to get rid of her. You needn’t feel guilty.”

Cynthia felt better hearing it, and they soon arrived at Alston’s office.

As Lloyd was about to knock on the door, a girl’s coquettish voice came from the office. “Alston, am I ri ght?

You must be objective. Please…”

Lloyd’s expression changed, and he quickly looked at Cynthia beside him, finding that a falling face replaced

the smile on her face.

“Mrs. Smith, it’s not what you think.” Lloyd quickly explained.

Cynthia sneered, “Get out of the way!”

After speaking, she nudged Lloyd aside and pushed the door open with a slam. After seeing the scene i nside, Cynthia’s expression became colder.

There were three people in the office, Alston, Lucien, and the sexy red– clothed beauty Cynthia saw at the door

of the Smith Group just now.

Lucien stood in front of the desk, Alston sat on the chair, and the beautiful woman in red held Alston’s a rm, looking very intimate.

When Cynthia pushed the door open and went in, the three paused and turned their heads to look at h er in

unison.

“Why are you here?” Alston was taken aback for a moment, and his eyes lit up. After seeing the lunch box in her hand, his gloomy mood all morning suddenly became bright, as if the sun had come up from the cloudy

sky.

Cynthia stared at the woman holding Alston’s hand and frowned.

Alston never liked other women touching him, but he accepted the current girl. “Who is she?” Cynthia

wondered.

“Can’t I be here?” Cynthia sneered, and her words were a little aggressive. “I thought Mr. Smith was busy with

work, but I didn’t expect him to be so leisured.”

Alston followed her gaze and saw Alice holding his hand. Suddenly, he understood why Cynthia said tha

He thought Cynthia might be jealous.

“Cynthia, here you are. What delicious food did you bring?” Lucien didn’t notice the tense atmosphere a

He was almost starving because he didn’t eat anything here all morning.

Before Lucien could touch the box, a figure rushed over from behind and took it away before him.

He turned around stiffly, and Alston glanced at him lazily while holding the lunch box.

“Who are you?” A female voice suddenly rose next to Cynthia’s ear, and Cynthia was startled, meeting th clothed beauty’s defensive look. “Why does it look that Lucien got so close to you? What’s your

relationship?”

Cynthia’s mind went blank, and all that she wanted to say was lost. She tilted her head, puzzled.

L

“What? Lucien? Shouldn’t it be Alston?”

“She appeared so affectionate to Alston when she talked to him and held his arm. Why did she mention

Lucien?” Cynthia wondered.

Alice was a little dazed after hearing Cynthia’s question, and the two stared at each other for a long time. Alston suddenly stepped forward, put his arms around Cynthia’s slender waist, and lowered his head slightly, w

Cynthia was so embarrassed that she blushed scarlet.

Then Lucien introduced Cynthia to Alice, and Alice was also a little embarrassed. “Cynthia, I’m sorry. I’ve been. abroad and just came back yesterday. I haven’t seen you, sorry.”

Cynthia shook her head with a smile and started to observe Alice. This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Cynthia’s look was delicate, but Alice would give people the feeling of seduction. Alice’s fair face was as an even more charming.

manner.

She dressed bolder and sexier, maybe because she spent more time abroad. But her straightforward. character neutralized feeling of seduction, making people feel very comfortable.

They hit it off immediately after chatting a few words and kept talking like they had endless topics.

Holding the lunch box, Alston stood aside with a dark face. He grabbed Lucien’s collar and pushed towa

As he spoke, he shook the lunch box and squinted his eyes.

Lucien instantly understood that Alston couldn’t wait to eat the lunch Cynthia had specially prepared for up the welcome home meal for you. Leave the office to Alston and Cynthia.”

Alice was eager to be alone with Lucien, so she gave Cynthia the contact information and couldn’t wait to pull Luc

In an instant, only Cynthia and Alston were left in the office.

“I’m sorry about that thing before. It’s me making you worry. I won’t make decisions without discussing th
