Sneaking a look at Jacob's phone was the only way she managed to get it. But never mind that. Soon enough,
she'd be spending all her twith Connor.
Lisa shot a fierce glare at the four receptionists across the room. They seemed a bit rattled, huddling together
and whispering. Yet, doubt lingered in their eyes. Lisa was determined to teach them a lesson later.
Sure, Chloe's bullying was one thing, but she wouldn't take being pushed around by a few receptionists. As the
minutes ticked by and her call went unanswered, Lisa's confidence started to waver. Panic was clearly starting to
show on her face. The receptionists, quick to catch onto the situation, sensed what was happening as they
watched her call go unanswered.

One of them, braver than the rest, stepped forward with a smirk. "You're not faking it, are you? Our CEO's private
number isn't just handed out to anyone."
Lisa shot back, "It's real. It's your CEO's number."
"We've seen this act before, and honestly, you're the worst performer we've cacross."
"I'm not faking anything. Connor agreed just yesterday to makehis personal assistant. Just you wait. Once
I'm in, you'll be the first ones I get him to fire." Watching Lisa's frustration only convinced them more that she
was bluffing-a total dreamer.
"Con, everyone knows our CEO only has Teddy as his personal assistant. You, of all people..."
The receptionist shook her head, clicking her tongue in disapproval. Lisa was fuming. Here she was, a bona fide

But their comments sparked an idea. Teddy. She could call Teddy. Since she'd worked under him before to help
clear Ann's name, she still had his number. She dialed it immediately. Thankfully, this time, the call connected
right away. Lisa spoke in a near-commanding tone, "Teddy? It's Lisa. Cdown here and get me, right now."
After a few seconds, she hung up with a triumphant grin. She turned to the receptionists, brimming with
smugness, "You're all done for. I'll have you packing your bags in no time."
The receptionists exchanged
skeptical glances. One of them, unwilling to back down, challenged her, "Teddy's not someone you can just boss

Everyone knew Teddy was top of the ladder at CNR, just below the CEO. Who else but the CEO could order him
around? The way Lisa had. talked so arrogantly on the phone-it couldn't possibly be Teddy she'd
spoken to.
But minutes later, Teddy did show up. The receptionists were thrown into a panic. Teddy, sharp in his suit, walked
over with a calm demeanor.
In that moment, Lisa's pride and smugness soared to new heights. She looked down at the receptionists with
disdain, "Teddy, these folks are really getting on my nerves. Have them shown out of CNR Tower, pronto."
"Ms. Chloe, what's the issue here?"
