Chapter 691: Making Things Difficult

Mrs. Lopez forced a smile and asked, “Can you let us wait inside now? We’ll just wait outside Adrian Zhekova’s office. Once his meeting is finished, we can personally ask him if he has time to listen to us for a few minutes.”

“I’m afraid that’s not possible,” the receptionist said with a smile. “Without the CEO’s permission, I can’t let you in, even just to wait outside his office. I’m truly sorry.”

Mrs. Lopez tried again: “Then call Assistant Sheldon.”

“Assistant Sheldon has already made it clear that the three of you should wait in the lobby, meaning you can’t go upstairs. If Assistant Sheldon was able to let you go up, he would have taken the initiative to say so himself,” the receptionist maintained her smile. “The CEO is currently in a meeting, and Assistant Sheldon is taking notes. We shouldn’t disturb them repeatedly. If the CEO gets angry and looks into it, my job would be at risk. Please understand.”

“There are sofas and tea tables over there, and a vending machine nearby. If the three of you are thirsty, or want to eat something, you can go there to buy what you want. There’s also a café next to it where you can wait,” the receptionist added.

Mrs. Lopez wanted to say more, but Richard Lopez stopped her and said to the receptionist, “When will your CEO’s meeting be over? Is there a specific time?”
