When Lois came out of the elevator, she did not look at where she was headed. Instead, she kept her eyes on Henry.
“Second Young Master Williams, rest assured that we will do it well, and we will not let you down.”
“Hmm.” Henry nodded without another word.
Elena walked behind him. She was quiet and calm as if nothing had happened.
When she saw Luacs at the elevator, Lois was surprised. “Aren’t you all supposed to wait in the car?”
Luacs did not answer her. Fortunately, Layla regained her senses and said, “I wanted to use the toilet.”
“Second young master, they… rushed…” The receptionist complained unhappily.
They were Elena’s friends, and therefore, they were people with no class at all. When the receptionist thought about it, she deduced that Elena must have used her good looks to sleep around with men.
She must have used her body in exchange for Second Young Master Sharp’s contribution to set up an animation company. That woman and her team members did not appear to be simple-minded folks. Except for Second Young Master Sharp, no one in that office building was excited to see Elena. However, none of them were brave enough to show their dissatisfaction as well.
Layla knew that she had caused trouble, so she laughed awkwardly. “So… sorry, I was rushing to go to the restroom…”
“No, that was me, sorry,” Rufus said as well.
Layla was a girl, so he should not let her shoulder the blame alone. It was too embarrassing for her to take responsibility for that.
“Take him to the restroom,” Henry said as he looked at the receptionist.
“Yes, Second Young Master,” The receptionist was gentle and docile when she spoke to her boss, but as soon as Henry left, she looked at Rufus with a dark face.
“The restroom is at the corner of the lobby. You may get there on your own.”
Outrageous! Why should she be the one to take the boy to the restroom? Those people wore cheap clothes, and they looked poor and shabby. She felt too disgusted even to lead those poor wretches to the toilet!
“It’s okay. I don’t have to go anymore. Thank you,” Rufus said with a smile.
Even though they knew that the people at Sharp Corporation did not like them, they could only endure the grievances silently since they are still new to the industry.
Layla nudged her friends gently. “Come on, let’s go.”
Henry took Elena to the entrance of the lobby. His assistant, AshtonAshton, led the way and briefed Elena at the same time. Lois and Aryan trailed behind them as if they were headed somewhere. Were they on their way for a tour around the Sharp Corporation’s compound? Layla was excited, so she and Caleb went after the group hurriedly.
“Luacs, let’s go and have a look as well,” Rufus said with a grin.
Luacs nodded and walked quietly with Rufus behind the group. A luxurious Rolls-Royce was parked right outside the entrance of the building. It seemed like an important visitor had arrived at Sharp Corporation that day.
The driver and bodyguards got out of the car and stood by the sides of the vehicle. Then, Eldest Young Master Williams’s best bodyguard climbed out of the car. What was his big brother doing there? Henry narrowed his eyes, and just as he was about to make his way toward the car, a pair of slender and fair legs emerged. Such was the splendor of the wealthy!
A dozen bodyguards got out from the first two cars to stand guard around the Rolls-Royce. Ewan also stood by the door with a straight back as he welcomed the woman with the most respectful gesture.
That was right! It was a woman! A gorgeous and noble-looking woman with a laced-top that covered her neck, Ava!
Henry stopped in his tracks to greet the visitor. However, his gaze had turned icy-cold. He knew that the car belonged to Michael, but he did not recognize the woman. Ava dressed like a rich mistress, and yet she did not lose the vitality of a young lady. She was a tasteful woman, and it showed in her attire and matching accessories. One would definitely know that she was a rich woman! However, she did not appear rigid. Instead, she was fashionable and charming!
Layla had always despised Ava, and even she was dumbfounded. Of course, it was because of Ava’s pompousness! When did Ava become rich? She had a dozen bodyguards and a super luxurious car!
“Second Young Master Sharp, we meet again.” Ava did not even look at the others as she went straight toward Henry.
As always, she had a perfect smile and an appearance of elegance. Elena hid her balled fists behind her. Ava had seemed shattered the previous night, so it was hard to imagine she could make such a strong comeback in just one night. She even seemed to be in high spirits! Ava might have been a victim the night before, but she looked like a winner at that moment.
Henry looked at her with a blank expression. “I’m sorry, I don’t know you.”
The smile disappeared from the corner of Ava’s lips, and the atmosphere turned awkward and tensed.
“I…” She wanted to say that she was Williams Corporation’s representative at the comic competition the other day, and they had met at Ning University. She was the person who sat next to him.
However, she had uttered different words altogether. “I am a friend of Michael’s. We met at the comic competition at Ning University.”
Henry thought about it, but he had no impression about that at all. He did not remember seeing her that day. Anyway, Henry had always had a problem with recognizing a woman’s face.
A chuckle appeared out of nowhere, and it sounded like it was suppressed with great restraint! Ava’s face darkened. She glanced at the source of the sound, and it looked like they came from the two receptionists. She squeezed her palms tightly and was about to remind Henry about it again when she saw the girl’s face.
She was panicked as she pointed her shaky fingers at Elena like she had seen a ghost. She was utterly speechless! That bloody girl! She had not disguised herself!
“Why is your face like this?”
Damn that Elena! B*tch! How could she show her real appearance? She should wear her ugly face all her life!
“Our Elena didn’t do anything to her face. She only decided not to use any makeup today.”
Layla walked to Elena’s side. She would defend her friend if anyone were to bully Elena!
“Shut up!” Ava glowered angrily. “This is not your place to speak!”
Layla wanted to say something else, but Elena discretely tugged at the corner of her clothes.
Layla shrugged and turned her face disdainfully as she ignored Ava. However, that girl had riled up Ava thoroughly!
Ava had become WongRiver Pavilion’s mistress from that day onward. Everyone respected her, and even Eldest Young Master Williams would talk to her. She was the queen! How could that bloody girl be so rude to her?
When Layla ignored her, Ava ordered angrily, “Get this girl out of my sight!”
