NovelUpdateChapter 212
When Angela arrived at the company, she planned to head straight up but was unexpectedly stopped at the
front desk.
"May | ask who you are here to see? Do you have an appointment?" The receptionist was a pretty young woman,
likely in her early 20s and freshly graduated from college.
Not wanting to make things difficult for her, Angela simply said, "I'm Angela Graham."
The receptionist looked utterly confused. "I don't know you. Please show your employee ID, or if you have an
appointment with someone, you can ask them to call me."
It was the morning rush hour for the employees as they were all swiping their cards to enter. Seeing Angela
being held up alone, many passing employees cast curious glances in her direction.
"Who is she? She's rather good-looking, but why is she being stopped?"
"Who knows? Maybe she's waiting for someone."
"Did you hear? Our company's getting a new CEO today. It's too bad we low-level employees won't even get to

With people coming and going, Angela couldn't help feeling a bit exasperated.
Nonetheless, she didn't get angry at all. Instead, she calmly took out her phone, opened the company's group
chat, and showed it to the receptionist.
At this point, she guessed that someone was deliberately making things difficult for her, but she was already
mentally prepared for it.
It wouldn't be long before those sneaky troublemakers hiding in the shadows would be completely dealt with.
"What's this?" A flicker of panic flashed in the receptionist's eyes, but she still refused to back down and
stubbornly said, "Ma'am, if you don't have an appointment, please leave. Graham Group isn't a place just anyone
can enter."
Her voice was quite loud; she clearly intended to make sure everyone entering the company could hear her.
Angela sneered inwardly. "Aren't you worried about getting fired? Or did someone promise you skind of
reward?"
"No, no, there's no such thing. Ma'am, please don't make things difficult for me."
"What do you mean make things difficult? This is our new CEO-how can you speak to her like that?" At that
moment, a sharply dressed man strode over, giving the receptionist a reproachful look.

The receptionist froze. What was going on? This wasn't how things were supposed to go.
"Ms. Graham, I'm truly sorry for this. This employee must be new and inexperienced for not recognizing you. I'll
fire her right away to make it up to you."
The man speaking was Logan Chapman, the head of the HR department, who was about 40 years old. He'd
worked with Bill for five years and was one of Bill's trusted aides.
Logan was extremely slick-he knew how to play both sides and flatter his superiors, so he was well-liked in the
company and trusted by Bill.
As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand grandly and said to the receptionist, "You useless fool, pack
your things and get out. Don't bother coming in tomorrow!"
The young receptionist was utterly stunned. She'd only been working here a few days and had just been

"Hold on." Angela smiled faintly. "She's pretty young, and it wasn't intentional. Let her stay. Mr.
Chapman, why scare a young woman like that? Aren't you worried
people will say you don't care for
your employees?"
Logan's expression immediately froze.
Had he miscalculated?
He'd originally intended to make a big deal out of this, painting Angela as someone who arbitrarily punished her
employees, hoping to turn the company's employees against her and ruin their first impression of her.
