Chapter 301
Artemis sized up the blond woman on the floor before instinctively furrowing his brows.
He looked sideways at Dwayne and asked, “Who is she? Why don't I remember having an appointment to meet with a woman in the CEO's office today?”
Dwayne scratched his nose and shifted his gaze onto the secretary.
The secretary shuddered fearfully and uttered in a trembling voice, “M-Mr. Luther, s-she's the winner of the Oscars' Best Actress award, Ms. Rose, s-so...”
Artemis' face darkened. He stared at the secretary coldly and articulated each word, “So, you allowed her to take a shortcut by coming up here without making an appointment?”
“Mr. Luther, I was wrong. I'll never—”
Without waiting for her to finish her sentence, Artemis waved his hand and said, “Go to the finance department to claim three months' worth of salary and get the hell out of Luther Group.”
Colors drained from her face after she heard his instruction.
In the past, the secretary had done similar things. Whenever some important guests visited without making an appointment, she would allow them to enter after deliberations.
Mr. Luther never scolded me and even praised me for my adaptiveness, but today... I don't think I've made any mistake since this Oscars' Best Actress award winner commands a stellar reputation internationally. Perhaps Luther Group may even need to rely on her to advertise our new products in the future. That's why I gave the receptionist the green light to let her come up without first reporting to Mr. Derning. Mr. Luther is furious mainly because Ms. Rose ran into Ms. Jefferson.
Upon grasping that crucial point, the secretary immediately bowed at Bailey and apologized, “Ms. Jefferson, I'm terribly sorry. It is my negligence at work for letting this unreasonable woman in and causing her to collide with you.”
Bailey arched her brow. This secretary is a smart person. Besides, Luther Group needs employees like her who know how to smooth over problems. Naturally, she couldn't let Artemis dismiss a great talent like the secretary.
