The True Heiress's Return

Chapter 306

It was lunchtime, and Shakira and her friends were waiting for Xanthe in their usual spot in the cafeteria.

Usually, Xanthe was the first to arrive to grab a seat and fret over what to eat that day. But today, after waiting for about fifteen minutes, Xanthe still hadn't shown up.

Rachel tilted its head and took out her talking pen. "Isn't Xanthe having lunch today?" Shakira tried to call Xanthe. She dialed twice, but there was no answer. It was the first time she couldn't reach Xanthe.

Shakira stood up, "You guys eat first, I'm going to check the finance department." Rachel and Larry exchanged a glance. "I'll go too."

Larry walked over to the takeout area. "You guys go ahead, I'll pack some food for her and bring it over later." Shakira nodded. "Okay."

Many employees brought their lunches. By the time Shakira got to the finance department, many were eating at their desks, occasionally glancing in one direction. As Shakira arrived, she faintly heard yelling coming from a nearby cubicle. She frowned and asked a colleague near the entrance, "Excuse me, is Xanthe here?" The colleague looked surprised. "You're looking for Xanthe?"

He pointed towards the frosted glass cubicle where the shouting was coming from. "She's in there getting reprimanded. If you're looking for her, you might want to come back another time; I don't think she'll be out anytime soon."

Even from about thirty feet away, the furious scolding was impossible to block out, not to mention how suffocating it must be inside.

Rachel asked with her talking pen, "Is Xanthe being yelled at in there?" The colleague shook his head with sympathy. "Yes, it's been over half an hour already."

Shakira's expression turned serious when she heard that. Under the astonished looks of those around her, she walked directly toward the cubicle. Even Rachel following her was taken aback.

She then grasped what Shakira wanted to do but quickly hurried to catch up. Shakira alone might not have enough influence, and Rachel wanted to help out.
