“People who think they can seduce Mr. Harrington with just a bit of charm are nothing new to me,” one receptionist remarked, “But I’ve never seen anyone so shameless as to pretend to be Mrs. Harrington.”
Their voices weren’t loud, but they were just clear enough for Vivienne to hear every scornful word.
Vivienne hadn’t expected that, after five years of marriage to Edmund, she wouldn’t just lack substance in their relationship–she didn’t even have the semblance of respect.
“Is Edmund currently in the office?” Vivienne asked.
The receptionist replied stiffly, “Sorry, but it’s company policy not to disclose Mr. Harrington’s whereabouts to outsiders.”
The other receptionist sneered, “Aren’t you Mrs. Harrington? How come you don’t even know whether your own husband is in the office?”
Vivienne looked at their mocking faces and walked over to the lobby’s waiting sofa. The receptionists already saw her as a homewrecker, and their attitude grew even less polite when she showed no signs of leaving.
“Listen, I advise you to leave quickly. Mr. Harrington won’t see you. Women like you are just troublesome! If you don’t leave now, I’ll call security! Get out of here!”
Vivienne had no intention of engagin

with the receptionists. They were just doing their job, and she
However, their attitude had clearly crossed the line of professional decorum and was a blatant venting of personal animosities. Observing their defensive postures, Vivienne scoffed internally.
Edmund’s allure is even greater than I imagined.
Vivienne turned around, “Oh? Is this the professional conduct expected of Harrington Corporation’s receptionists?”
She took out her phone and pointed the camera at them.
“I wonder if posting this online or sending it to a media outlet would make headlines?”
She smiled, “The headline could read… ‘Harrington Corporation’s receptionists act like street brawlers. Is it
a reflection of the employees‘ quality, or the corporate culture? I wonder if this news would affect Harrington Corporation’s market value?”
Seeing Vivienne recording, the two receptionists immediately paled.
Whatever kind of woman Vivienne was, their job performance and professional ethics were another matter. If this got out and affected Harrington Corporation’s corporate image, they couldn’t bear the consequences!
Both were panicked now; the salary and benefits at Harrington Corporation were the envy of many, and even front desk jobs were not easily obtained.
These two had been working at Harrington Corporation long enough to feel superior and had become
somewhat conceited.

One of them quickly softened, “Miss, I’m sorry, I spoke too harshly. Could you please not upload the video?”
The other, not wanting to lose her job, hurriedly apologized, “Sorry, our attitude was inappropriate… According to the rules, you can’t go up, but you are welcome to sit in the lobby.”
Vivienne wasn’t there to make a scene. Seeing that they had apologized, she put away her phone and said
no more.
As time passed, the sky outside darkened. Vivienne hadn’t eaten all day, fearing Edmund might appear just as she left.
After what felt like ages, a series of firm footsteps approached.
Vivienne looked up and saw a familiar figure.
Victor also noticed Vivienne sitting alone on the sofa and asked, “What’s the deal with this woman?”
The receptionists clearly knew Victor. They still harbored some resentment towards Vivienne, but tried not to show it too openly.
“Mr. Victor, this lady is looking for Mr. Harrington, but she doesn’t have an appointment. According to company policy, we can’t let her in.”
Another receptionist muttered, “She claims to be Mrs. Harrington, but couldn’t even get through to Mr. Harrington on the phone…”
Victor’s face showed feigned realization, and a malicious smile curled at his lips as he walked up to Vivienne.
“Well, well, well, if it isn’t Ms. Everest. No, I misspoke.”
He deliberately corrected himself, “You claim to be Mrs. Harrington, don’t you? The grand Mrs. Harrington, why aren’t you going upstairs, sitting here instead?”
Vivienne stared at Victor’s spiteful expression and said nothing.
The quieter Vivienne was, the more arrogant Victor became.
“Vivienne, I warned you last time to be wise and stop pestering Eddy. But you just won’t listen, choosing instead to humiliate yourself. Tsk, tsk, tsk…”
