When There Is Nothing Left But Love

I nodded and did not continue the conversation.

When he saw me standing there, he frowned and asked, “Are you waiting for someone?”

I nodded. “I didn’t tell Ashton beforehand that I’m coming, so I’m waiting for him here.”

“Mr. Lowe, Mr. Fuller has allowed you to go up!” announced the receptionist as she looked at me uneasily.

Thomas nodded. Looking at me, he suggested, “Mr. Fuller is probably busy. Why don’t you go up with me? Since you’re in the later stages of your pregnancy, it’s not good if you stand for so long.”

I shook my head. “I’m fine. You can go up first. Mr. Crest will be coming down to fetch me. Please go ahead! I don’t want to disrupt your work.”

He raised his eyebrows and smiled. “Mr. Jared Crest?”

I nodded.

Smiling, he entered the lift without saying anything else.

Having witnessed such a scene, the receptionist had probably figured out what was going on. She immediately looked at me and apologized, “Mrs. Fuller, please don’t take what happened earlier to heart. I didn’t do it on purpose. I’m just doing my job, so please forgive me.”

Mrs. Eriksen rebuked furiously, “Doing your job? What’s your job supposed to be? You’re supposed to welcome guests and convey messages. Yet, you failed to welcome us warmly and did not even convey any messages to Mr. Fuller.”

After a slight pause, she scoffed, “It’s not your fault that you didn’t inform him. After all, we had not made an appointment. But an important part of your job is to welcome guests! Not only did you fail to do a good job in it, but you also mocked us. Why should the company continue to hire you?”
