Your Gold Digger is Actually A True Heiress by Vera Fiore

Chapter 212

Chapter 212 Thalia held up her document folder . " Look , I'm here on legitimate business , not whatever you're thinking . " Mina scoffed , not bothering to hide her skepticism . " If it's legitimate business , why didn't you make an appointment ? Don't think I haven't seen this trick before - showing up with a folder pretending you have real business so I'll let you in . That move is so last season . Everyone's tried it already . " Thalia finally understood what was happening .

Apparently , many women used the pretext of " business " to try to see Asher . No wonder the receptionist was so defensive . Rather than being annoyed , Thalia found the receptionist's dedication amusing . Finding it entertaining , she decided to play along . " Oh ? My trick is outdated ? " she asked with a hint of a smile . The receptionist rolled her eyes . " Obviously . I fell for it once and let someone in . Nearly got fired on the spot .

Lucky for me , my cousin is the CEO's assistant and has some pull around here , or I'd be unemployed . Still got docked half a month's pay though . So don't think you're slipping past me today ! " " Pfft- " Thalia couldn't help but laugh . Looking at the earnest young receptionist , she asked with genuine curiosity , " Your cousin is the CEO's assistant ? " " Yeah . " Mina continued her attempt to shoo Thalia away : " Look , I get it . Mr. Blackwood is hot and rich - total package .

And honestly , you're gorgeous too . But you're not his type . The man has women throwing themselves at him 24/7 . Neither of us stands a chance , so saye yourself the trouble . " Thalia laughed again . She never imagined being mistaken for one of Asher's hopeful admirers . " So you're saying you're one of his admirers too ? " Thalia asked , amused . Mina , being refreshingly straightforward , answered candidly . " Well , yeah , but I know my place . I'm not delusional .

to talk to him ? " Mina's eyes widened in shock . " You know my cousin ? " Thalia answered the call and handed the phone to the dumbfounded receptionist . Mina took it hesitantly , eyeing Thalia with newfound suspicion . Matt's voice came through clearly : " Ms. Winters , did you call earlier ? Sorry I missed it . " Still confused , Mina kept her eyes locked on Thalia . " Uh , Matt ? It's me . " " Mina ? " Matt sounded

like a truck . " Wait - is Ms. Winters at reception right now ? " " Yeah … so she actually knows Mr. Blackwood ? " Mina asked tentatively . Hearing this , Matt felt his stomach drop . Oh shit . He swallowed nervously . " Mina … please tell me you didn't stop her from

my god ! Let her up immediately ! No , wait - I'm coming down to get her myself ! " Mina was completely bewildered now . " What's going on ? Who is she ? " " Who is she ? " Matt repeated incredulously as he rushed out of his office toward the elevator . " She's practically our CEO's wife ! " As Matt hurried down the

smile playing at the corners of his mouth . Matt nodded quickly . " Yes , sir . She's downstairs . The new receptionist - my cousin - she didn't recognize Ms. Winters and stopped her because she doesn't have an appointment … " His voice trailed off as he remembered whose fault this actually was . His cousin had previously let in an unwanted admirer , nearly getting fired in the process .
