Chapter 466
With contempt in her heart and on her face, the receptionist still reluctantly walked forward.
Her tone was casual and cold, “Hello, is this Miss Knowles?”
“Hmm.” Joyce nodded graciously. Naturally she could see the unusual looks people were giving her, but she just didn’t care.
“Turn left to the elevator and go straight to the top floor.” The receptionist pointed casually and didn’t bother to lead the way.
“What? When did the service business of the Henderson family become so inferior in service?” The cold voice sounded morosely, with a tone of dissatisfaction.
The receptionist was startled and raised her eyes to the source of the sound and instantly stammered in fear, “Mr. Henderson, I was … I don’t…”
“You don’t have to come to work tomorrow. Now, you can leave.” Justin’s handsome face, which was so clean and gentle in the past, became cold and stern, and he beckoned another receptionist girl over, “You will take over her job for now. It seems that the Henderson Group needs to raise its standards for employees.”
The face of the receptionist turned pale and she cried, “Mr. Henderson, I know I’m wrong, please, don’t fire me.” She didn’t want to lose this job, with its excellent pay, leisure and decency.
Justin ignored her begging and turned around coldly. He gently took Joyce in his arms and led her into the elevator himself and pressed the button for the top floor.
When the elevator doors closed, Joyce said to him, “Sorry, I forgot I was meeting your family today and dressed rather casually.”
Justin laughed softly, “Joyce looks good in anything. Nowadays, people learn to be so snobbish when they first enter the society. The HR really need to be careful when they are recruiting, otherwise it will affect the company’s image.”
“Are you really going to fire the girl just now? It’s not really a big deal, right? I don’t mind.” Joyce said blandly.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
“I have just taken over the Henderson Group and am in the midst of a major overhaul of the company, and the situation just now must not be tolerated.”
Justin got serious, and the cold and serious look made Joyce slightly surprised.
“Ding!” They heard a sound from the elevator, and the door gently open.
Justin led Joyce out of the elevator, “My father wants to see you alone tonight, but don’t worry. I’ll be waiting outside the door, and if he has any words that make you uncomfortable, you can just leave. I will never let you suffer again.”
Joyce raised her eyes to look at him quietly, always feeling that he still had something to say.
Justin suddenly reached out his hand and gently caressed her cheek, and his eyes instantly became soft, “Joyce, I already know about the past. What my father did to you once, I know it all.”
Joyce froze, and a sourness ran through her nose.
“I’m sorry to have put you through this. And I can’t believe I was kept in the dark. Don’t worry, I will never be subjected to the Henderson family again, no one can influence my will. I promised my father that I would let him see you in the hope that he would accept you from the bottom of his heart and be willing to mend the rift between him and you.”
“Actually, you don’t have to …” she tried to speak, but he stopped her from continuing by gently nudging her lips with one finger.
“Joyce, I have wronged you, and now I will make up for it all. I love you.”
The words of deep love come naturally.
His eyes were clear like the sky after the rain, flowing with fresh soft light, and meanwhile they were like pads of lotus pond after the rain, overflowing with soft waves of water.
Her lips were tightly closed, and she didn’t know how to speak for a while.
