“She’s left, and Bainbridge has certainly offended her.”
Johanna bit her lower lip and queried, “Where’s Bainbridge?”

Johanna stopped him.
“We haven’t even cut the cake yet. Are you leaving?”

The next morning at 8 a.m., Hannah arrived punctually at the entrance of the White Group building.
As she walked into the lobby, she immediately caught the receptionist’s eye. Just as she was about to swipe her access card, the receptionist hurried over to intercept her.
“You’re Miss Moore, correct? Please, come with me.”
Hannah looked toward the receptionist and inquired, “Is something wrong?”
“My apologies, Miss Moore. Your access card, if you please.” The receptionist had received instructions that morning, explicitly stating that Hannah should be barred from the company’s internal board meeting today.
Additionally, the receptionist had overheard gossip about Hannah, dismissing her as an illegitimate child who knew nothing. She Looked down on Hannah, judging her severely.

She glanced at the name tag and went on, “Her name was Amya Rojas.
She wants my access card confiscated. Send someone to address this immediately.”
Even after hearing Hannah’s call, the receptionist remained disdainful.
“Calling for help won’t change anything. The directive came from the general manager himself. You should just leave before you embarrass yourself.”
“Embarrass herself?”
