NovelEnglishChapter 875 Michelle Again He answered the phone with a simple hum and hung up after I finished speaking without asking much. I figured he might be in a meeting and didn't pay much attention.
Glancing at the time, it was almost noon. I grabbed my bag and told Carol, "I'm going out for a bit. I'm going to visit Anson." After all, it had been many days since the incident with Trinity, and I hadn't been to the Huffman residence in the last couple of days. Going to the capital tomorrow meant I wouldn't be back for at least two days Being absent for so long seemed a bit out of character.
Carol quickly closed the large screen, nodding. "Sure. Are you having lunch there?" "Yeah, I just want to share a meal with Anson," I said casually. However, I wondered if Anson had been enjoying his meals lately.

With a heavy heart, I took the elevator to the ground floor.
Exiting the elevator, I noticed a commotion at the front desk. Upon closer inspection, I becirritated. The confrontational Michelle was standing near the front desk, making a scene and arguing with the female staff.
I was puzzled. Why couldn't this woman just let things go? Now she's targeted me.
She spottedfrom a distance before I could approach her. Striding toward me, she loudly exclaimed, "Hey, Chloe, your front desk here is way out of line. They lied through their teeth, saying you weren't in the office." Then, she turned back to the front desk, slapped the counter with a loud bang, and accused the employees, "Didn't you say she wasn't in the company? Who is this? Tellwho she is!" She assumed a self-righteous posture, finally catching an opportunity to counterattack.
The lobby was crowded at this time, especially during lunch, as most visitors were leaving the company.
"This is simply outrageous. They're lying through their teeth. I told them I was your classmate and wanted to see you, but they still wouldn't letgo upstairs," Michelle explained.
"This isn't a waiting room. It's a company. You worked before, so you should know this happens every day if you don't have an appointment. How can the company function normally if everyone can enter without proper procedure?" I sternly addressed her.

With a self-deprecating smile, she said, "Chloe, I just wanted to see you." Seeing her overly fawning expression, I felt annoyed. Michelle had snerves. Her words at the gathering seemed to vanish into thin air UMS "Speak up. What do you want from me? I'm in a hurry, so make it quick," I said, growing impatient.
She pursed her lips and said, "Well... It's not a big deal. I just wanted to invite you to lunch and take a tour of your company." I nodded calmly. "Alright, consider your wish granted today." I finished speaking and pulled out my phone to call Carol, instructing her to cdownstairs.
Michelle, looking bewildered, asked, "Chloe, what do you feel like eating? I'll treat you today."
Carol cdown quickly. She walked up to me, not sparinga m glance at Michelle. "Ms. Chloe, how may I assist you?" I pointed to Michelle and said, "Take Ms. Michelle upstairs for a tour. She has been eager to see our company." Then, turning to Michelle, I said, "Since you're eager to see the company, let Ms. Carol accompany you. have a lunch appointment today, so I won't be able to join you."
I did not even bother looking at her expression as I walked decisivelyn toward the building's exit. She was truly persistent. Michelle shouted after me, "Chloe, why are you leaving when I just got here?"
Without turning my head, I replied, "Go upstairs and take a look. Don't worry, you're in good hands with Ms. Carol." Ashburn X
