Grayson’s Disdain
At that moment, Grayson, who had a strong dislike toward Sonia, felt even more unhappy with her,
thinking she was purposely stalling and making him wait.
After all, Sonia was the only person who was daring enough to do that to him, which he assumed must
be because she thought Toby had her back. How arrogant this lady is! Why are you so cocky, Sonia?
You’re nowhere close to Lynette. What makes you think you’re a perfect match for Toby?
As Grayson grew tired of waiting and was about to barge into the building, the receptionist suddenly put
down the phone after saying something to Sonia on the inside and turned her attention to the man. “I’m
sorry to have made you wait, Mr. Lore. Chairman Reed has agreed to see you now. Please come with
me.” She then extended her arm and showed the two men the way.
Grayson lightened up a little when he heard her words, but he remained haughty and insolent. At the
same time, he waved his hand and grunted. “At last, she made the right move.”
When the receptionist heard the man’s words, she secretly rolled her eyes upward in disdain. What the
hell is wrong with this man?! He is on someone else’s turf, yet he won’t keep his arrogance in check at
all. I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised to see a man like him with a shameless daughter who wants
nothing but to be a mistress! No wonder people say like father, like daughter!
The receptionist’s mind was filled with disgust toward Grayson, but due to her status as an ordinary
employee working at the front desk, she didn’t dare to express her disdain as she continued to lead
Grayson and his assistant to the elevator. Nonetheless, she hoped that Sonia would teach them a
lesson later.
In the meantime, Grayson, who was following behind the receptionist, kept looking around the building.
Noticing the old interior design, Grayson didn’t even bother to hide the contemptuous look on his face.
In fact, he even wiped the elevator to degrade Sonia’s company, although there was barely any dust
inside the elevator. Then, he blew his own hands and clapped them like he was trying to dust his
hands. At the same time, he went on to mock the company by asking, “What’s with this design? I can’t
believe Paradigm Co. is so old-fashioned.”
Meanwhile, the receptionist felt even more disgusted when she saw what Grayson did. After all, she
worked at the front desk and had come across countless people day in and day out. Thus, she
considered herself quite a keen judge of character and was able to see through Grayson’s ill intention
behind his gestures.
How cheap! This guy is just trying to make Paradigm Co. seem bad. As one of the employees of her
company, she had to admit that Paradigm Co. was not in its best financial state at that moment.
However, she was grateful that the company had never forgotten the benefits that they deserved. At
the same time, she was never worried about Paradigm Co.’s respect and her own future, considering
the relationship between Sonia and Toby.
Because of that, every single employee had a strong sense of belonging in the company. Thus, the
receptionist could not stand it when she heard someone degrading her company, but despite her
displeasure, she wasn’t going to express it anyway because she was just an ordinary employee who
worked at the front desk.
Other than knitting her eyebrows and reacting with an indifferent attitude, there was only so much she
could do. Nevertheless, she was determined deep down to tell Sonia what she saw, thinking her boss
was in a better place to refute Grayson than she was.
Well, even if Chairman Reed can’t do anything, I’m sure Mr. Fuller can handle this guy. At the thought
of that, the receptionist only kept her eyes on the elevator door without even bothering to look at
Grayson. While she continued to smile, she answered nonchalantly, “Paradigm Co. was built more than
twenty years ago, so it’s not surprising that the interior design seems old school. Although it’s barely
comparable to the trend right now, the design was one of the most popular ones back then.”
“No wonder.” Grayson smiled nonchalantly. “You may be right, but after more than two decades, don’t
you think it’s time for your company to go through a makeover? After all, your company’s appearance is
the most obvious factor that influences how people think of it. If your management won’t do anything to
change it, it’ll only seem to others as if it hasn’t progressed at all without anything worth looking forward
to.” The man implied that Paradigm Co. was just like an outdated property, destined to be left forgotten.
The receptionist clenched her fists and faked a smile. “I beg to differ, Mr. Lore. The reason the interior
design in Paradigm Co. remains the same is not because we can’t afford to change, but because our
leaders are nostalgic of the past. Furthermore, with the relationship between Paradigm Co. and the
Fuller Group, I’m sure it’s only a matter of time before they do something about changing the interior
design. In fact, even if we don’t make any changes, I’m sure whoever works with our company will
respect us due to our alliance with the Fuller Group. After all, no one is going to disrespect us just
because of our outdated interior design, which is why I don’t think it’s that important of a matter to
change the interior design. Moreover, Paradigm Co. is backed by the Fuller Group just as Chairman
Reed is backed by Mr. Fuller.”
On the other hand, Grayson could also tell what the receptionist was insinuating, knowing she was
trying to point out the fact that the Lore Family had gotten on the wrong side of Toby, making it even
harder for them to align themselves with the Fuller Family again.
In that instant, Grayson was overwhelmed with anger, yet there was nothing he could do to the
receptionist. After all, he didn’t want to be embarrassed if word about him, a corporate president,
messing around with an ordinary receptionist got out. Despite his frustration and annoyance with the
receptionist’s reply, he couldn’t do anything except put up with her.
Because of that, the elevator was shrouded in silence as Grayson fixed his cold gaze on the
receptionist. Deep down, Grayson was annoyed about his failure to degrade Paradigm Co., but what
irritated him even more was that his petty attempt to insult the company ironically put him in an
embarrassing position.
Soon, the elevator arrived just as the door opened. Then, the receptionist stepped out of the elevator
and heaved a sigh of relief, pretending as if nothing ever happened. At the same time, she extended
her arm and politely invited Grayson and his assistant to step out of the elevator. “This way, Mr. Lore.
We’re almost reaching Chairman Reed’s office.”
Grayson glimpsed the receptionist and grunted coldly, fixing his collar as he stepped out of the elevator
with his assistant following right behind him closely.
“We’re here,” the receptionist said to Grayson and his assistant, whereupon she knocked on the door.
Sonia’s voice could soon be heard from inside the door. “Come in.”
The receptionist soon opened the door. “Chairman Reed, Mr. Lore is here.”
Sonia then put down her pen and looked up, setting her eyes on the receptionist while nodding. “Let
them in while you make us some tea.”
“Alright,” the receptionist replied with an affirmative hum, showing Grayson and his assistant the way
into Sonia’s office before she left to make them some tea.
The next moment, Sonia stood up and walked closer to Grayson. “Mr. Lore, welcome to Paradigm Co.
Please take a seat.” She pointed at the couch not far away from her, signaling Grayson to sit there.
However, Grayson was seen with a disgusted look on his face when he saw the old-fashioned wooden
couch. Thus, he directly approached the couch without responding to Sonia and sat down as if he was
the boss who owned the place.
When Sonia saw that, she squinted with an indifferent look on her face. Just as she was about to say
something, the receptionist, who was supposed to make some tea, peeked from the door and spoke.
“Chairman Reed, I can’t find the tea leaves, so could you please come here?” The receptionist
mustered her courage and waved her hand at Sonia.
Sonia raised her eyebrows upon hearing the receptionist’s words. What? She can’t find the tea leaves?
That’s impossible. They have always been in the same, obvious spot in the cabinet. She must have
something she wants to talk to me about. Sonia was sure that the tea leaves should still be there, and
she instantly saw through the receptionist’s intention of beckoning her over. Because of that, she
nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll meet you in the pantry.”
In the meantime, the receptionist heaved a sigh of relief when she heard Sonia’s affirmative reply,
whereupon she disappeared at the door.
