The car… drove away.
Kyla stood there blankly, her expression was of disappointment and bitterness.
He… did not stop at all.
Well, why should he give her a chance now after she flatly refused him when he so earnestly begged her to give him a chance back then?
She was the one who hurt him first…
Kyla bit her lip and walked to the intersection. She raised her hand to hail a taxi and gave the driver the address of Martin Weiss’s company.
Her only option was to go there again.
However, the receptionist did not stop her and let her in right away this time. When Kyla said she was here to see Martin Weiss, she even considerately pressed the elevator floor button for her.
“Mrs. Weiss, we didn’t know who you were last time and it was our job to stop you. I hope you’ll be the bigger person and forgive us,” she said respectfully.
Kyla froze and immediately understood that Mallory Malcom calling her ‘Mrs. Weiss’ had given them ideas.
However, the employee had no idea that Martin Weiss did not want to see her now.
“It doesn’t matter what happened yesterday. Don’t overthink it,”
said Kyla.
Relieved, the receptionist exited the elevator.
The elevator doors closed slowly, and Kyla watched the floor numbers change.
When the elevator stopped on the 49th floor, Kyla stepped out.
Mallory Malcom, who was sitting at his desk, looked up to see Kyla. He was immediately surprised. “Mrs. Weiss, what… what are you doing here again?”
“I’m here to see Martin Weiss. Is he in his office?” she asked.
“Chairman Weiss is in the office right now, but he… You…” Mallory Malcom said, looking like he was in a dilemma.
“I won’t barge in. Could you tell him I’m here? If he refuses to see me, I’ll wait outside. I’ll see him when he leaves the office later,”
said Kyla.
It was stupid, but it was the only solution she could think of at the moment.
Mallory Malcom sighed. ‘She’s so stubborn!’
“Will you mind waiting for a moment while I speak with Chairman Weiss? I’ll check if Chairman Weiss would like to meet with you.”
“Thank you,” Kyla said gratefully.
Mallory Malcom went to Martin Weiss’s office, while the other secretaries looked curiously at Kyla.
These secretaries knew who Kyla was. They knew their boss and the woman in front of them were husband and wife. However, they were so low-key that outsiders did not know about their relationship.
Moreover, the woman was pregnant, and Chairman Weiss had spent a long time in Emerald City for her.
Logically speaking, Chairman Weiss should attach great importance to this woman. He even arranged for Mallory to assist her. However, it seemed that she was having a hard Chairman Weiss.
Everyone started having all kinds of speculation.
In the office, Mallory Malcom told Martin Weiss that Kyla was waiting outside.
“If she wants to wait, let her wait,” Martin Weiss said indifferently.
“Okay, I see,” answered Mallory Malcom as he left the office and walked up to Kyla. “I’m sorry.
Chairman Weiss doesn’t want to see you.”
“It doesn’t matter. I’ll wait here, then,” said Kyla.
After asking Mallory Malcom for a glass of warm water, Kyla found a chair and sat down quietly without disturbing anyone else.
When Martin Weiss was prepared to leave his office for lunch at noon, Kyla approached him and asked, “Can we talk?”
Martin Weiss peered at her coldly, “I thought I made myself pretty clear earlier.”
“But…”
“I won’t say yes to your request. Jacqueline Bowman should be punished for what she did,” said Martin Weiss as his eyes fell on her face that was growing paler. His heart seemed to beat a little faster, making him feel uncomfortable. “Kyla, you should know I never spare those who have hurt me.”
She trembled as she watched him walk past her to leave. She suddenly said, “What about me? I’ve hurt you too. Why did you spare me?”
He stopped but did not turn back. He did not answer either as he walked away.
Kyla’s eyes darkened. Mallory Malcom approached her, asking what Kyla would like for lunch. Then, he went to the company’s cafeteria to buy her a set meal.
For the next few days, Kyla would wait outside Martin Weiss’s office every day like she was going to work. She would have her lunch here and only leave when Martin Weiss left for work.
It unknowingly became a peculiar routine. However, no one dared to say anything. Even when they talked about it, they only whispered among themselves.
