insisted, her voice speaking with desperation. "I really need to speak with him.'

Chapter 70: Hysteria

The receptionist's lips twitched in the semblance of a smirk. "I'm sorry, but Mr. Shaw is a very busy man," she said, her tone dripping with condescension. "He can't just see anyone who walks in off the street." It was only the other day their boss had to release a statement to get rid of a fly. He had barely gotten rid of one; another had appeared in her place.

Anya felt a surge of frustration bubbling up inside her. "Move!" she could not help but shout; her voice panicked. "I'm his wife."

The receptionist's eyes widened in surprise, and for a moment, Anya thought she saw a flicker of doubt cross her features. But it was quickly replaced by a mask of indifference.

"I'm sorry, ma'am, but I'll need to verify that," the receptionist said, her tone bordering on dismissive.

Anya reached into her purse and fumbled for her phone, her hands trembling with nerves. She quickly dialed Daniel's number, praying that he would pick up.

After several agonizing rings, Daniel's voice came through the line, "Baby?" She heard him say the moment he answered.

"Daniel, they are following me; the man is still outside," she rattled in panic. Daniel, who was seated in his office, shot up from his desk immediately.

"Baby, where are you?" Daniel asked, dashing out of his office to the elevator.

"In your building lobby," she said, close to tears. His assistant saw him enter and followed in another elevator.

Even the angry driver of the sedan simmered down a bit when he realized the woman was hysteric. Jim stepped forward and handed over a card to Daniel's insurance and started dispersing the crowd. Daniel picked Anya easily and carried her into the elevator. The moment the elevator door closed, the company forum went ablaze. At home, Wendy, who has always been hiding in the Shaw Group company forum to enjoy gossip once in a while, noticed her phone chime several times; it was as though the forum had exploded.
