The receptionists were caught off guard, clearly flustered. They hadn't seen this coming. Who would've thought that this woman could actually summon Teddy with such a commanding tone? Panic started to set in among them. One of the receptionists nudged the leader of their group and whispered, "Does she have the same last name as the CEO's fiancée? Could they be related?" Their faces darkened at the thought. If that were true, they might really have to pack their bags and leave.

Teddy looked at Lisa, who was acting all high and mighty, with a slight frown. In a business-like tone, he said, "I'm sorry, I'm just a secretary. I don't have the power to decide who gets hired or fired here."

Lisa felt Teddy was being rather dismissive. But then again, when she'd worked under him before, he'd always been like this. She wasn't about to waste her energy arguing with him. "Fine, I'll talk to your CEO myself," Lisa declared.

Teddy, unfazed, replied, "The CEO is in a meeting right now. He instructed that Ms. Chloe should report to HR and start work immediately."

Hearing that she'd be starting right away filled Lisa with joy. It seemed Connor was just as eager for her to start as she was. "Alright, then I'll head to HR first," she said confidently. Before leaving, she shot a menacing look at the receptionists. "Just you wait."
