Chapter 213: Punish Her
Julianna’s eyebrows lifted slightly. "Mr Wright?” “Yes,” he released her hand and adjusted the folder beneath his arm. “Mr Wright has spoken highly of you. Mr Wright asked me to conduct a routine check this morning, so I was planning to introduce myself and discuss a few things with you before the day’s schedule becomes too demanding.” Julianna listened carefully, gradually connecting the information he provided with the conversations she had heard during the process that led to her appointment. She had known that her new position would involve working closely with senior management, but she had not expected one of the people responsible for overseeing the company’s legal operations to approach her so casually during her first encounter. “Then I suppose I should have introduced myself properly,” she replied, allowing a small smile to settle on her face. “I’m Julianna Will.” Harrison gave a quiet laugh. “I believe the company has already introduced us through your documents.” “T
Chapter 212: Miss Will?
The woman glanced towards the head receptionist, whose discomfort had become increasingly difficult to conceal. “Look at this nuisance,” she muttered, gesturing towards the receptionist. “Even she knows better than to speak to me this way. I have no idea where you learned your manners, but somebody clearly failed to teach you how to treat important people.” The head receptionist opened her mouth as though she intended to intervene, but no words emerged. Her eyes moved towardss the approaching executives, and the sight of Harrison walking towardss the desk with four board members behind him made her realise that the situation had developed far beyond anything she could easily control. The woman, however, was too occupied with her own anger to notice. “Someone important will enter this building,” she continued, her voice becoming louder as she attempted to make Julianna understand the consequences of her behaviour. “Imagine what would happen if the people in charge discovered that a

Harrison shifted his gaze to her. She scoffed, dagging her eyes at the girl. “So now you have come to your senses!” She turned to Julianna, who wasn't holding an exaggerated display of defiance in her posture, nor did she appear interested in provoking an argument. Instead, she calmed down, allowing the other woman to exhaust herself while she waited for the situation to resolve. Something about the young woman’s face struck Harrison as familiar. He studied her for another moment before recognition settled into place. “Julianna Will.” Although they had never formally met, Harrison knew precisely who she was. A few days earlier, Ryan had given him a document containing Julianna’s profile and for his assistant position. Giving Harrison the hoe ahead to run a background check on her. He had expected to meet Julianna in a more formal setting, perhaps during an introductory meeting with Ryan, where she could be briefed on her responsibilities and introduced to the people she
Chapter 210: Executives
The transparent glass doors of the Archer Corporation headquarters slid open, and five men stepped into the spacious lobby, with their shoes moving across the marble floor with confidence. The morning sunlight filtered through the enormous windows. Despite the familiar bustle of the morning, the arrival of the five men made a subtle change to the atmosphere.Several employees who had been occupied with their computers raised their heads as the men passed, while others exchanged discreet glances before returning their attention to their work. A few others greeted the men with respectful nods, afraid not to interrupt the conversation already taking place. Even when none of the men made any effort to attract attention, their presence carried the authority of individuals used to making decisions that affected hundreds of employees.The four men surrounding Harrison were board members, each responsible for a different department and possessing enough influence to make his opinion heard d
Chapter 209: Enough
“I don’t care who you are,” Julianna replied. The calmness in her voice made the woman’s expression change for a brief second; she didn’t expect anyone to talk back to her, given her position and her family influence in the city. She was used to the expression people try to hide their expressions when talking to her. She had expected the same fear, clouding the receptionist's eyes, but instead, Julianna simply stood there with her hands resting loosely at her sides, holding her intimidating gaze.When no trace of fear could be found, she let out a short, incredulous scoff while her eyes slowly travelled over Julianna. The woman sized Julianna's outfit, with cost calculations running through her head. When she couldn’t find the unmistakable logos and luxury labels that she was accustomed to seeing, her lips curled.‘She is a nobody.’“It seems you don’t have an appointment with Mr. Wright,” Julianna muttered, breaking the thought, cramping the woman’s head. She could tell what everyon
Chapter 208: Excuse Me
The first receptionist’s eyes widened, and the woman looked at her, then back at the second receptionist.The second receptionist smiled. “My colleague is exhausted. Please don’t take her behavior personally.”The first receptionist felt her heart pounding, and she knew exactly where this was going the moment the second receptionist walked around the desk. “What do you think you’re doing?” she asked quietly.The second receptionist didn’t respond. Instead, she kept her attention on the woman. “I’m sure we can find another way to assist you,” she replied as if ready to present her with the options. “There is only one way,” the woman replied. “I want to see Mr. Wright.”The second receptionist nodded. “I understand.”The first receptionist stepped forward. “No. You don’t.”The second receptionist turned toward her. “Please just let me handle this; you have done enough already.”“You can’t just—”“I’m handling it!” she growled, and the sharpness in her voice silenced the first reception
