Chapter 99

Chapter 99

William’s business and industries span across the globe, but there’s only one true headquarters the building in front of us.

When I was young, I used to come here often.

There was a time when many staff in this building speculated that I was William’s illegitimate daughter. Otherwise, how could the high and mighty boss be so indulgent to a little girl?

It can be said that this place was once a part of my happy childhood.

But was it really so?

Is what I considered beautiful truly beautiful?

Perhaps, long ago, beneath the seemingly bright and shining commercial building, countless dark and rotten evils were hidden. I just didn’t know about it.

Moss and I crossed the clean and spacious lobby, heading straight for the elevator.

However, at that moment, the receptionist hurried over and stopped us. “Excuse me, miss, who are you looking for? Do you have an appointment?”

I paused, looking at the receptionist in surprise.

She was a very young woman, very unfamiliar to me. I had never seen her before.

I guessed she must have just started working, maybe not even for a week.

Despite that, I didn’t think it was normal for her to stop me.

This wasn’t my first time at William’s company, and she wasn’t the first receptionist here.

Before her, there were at least seven receptionists, and I didn’t know any of them. However, none of them had ever stopped me.

The reason was simple–William had publicly declared in front of all the staff: I could come and go freely in the building, and I could find him anytime, anywhere, and no one was allowed to stop me,

Therefore, the first thing each receptionist did before taking office was to familiarize themselves with my photo.

But now, the woman in front of me stopped me, and from her words, I could be sure she didn’t recognize me at all.
