Chapter 20- Brilliant Wife
MSin people had got a very impressive building. The reception area where they were seated was classy. Marissa could almost feel her eyes gliding on the sparkling floor. The receptionist offered them a professional smile and informed them that it was next to impossible to meet Mr. Joseph without an appointment.
Though Marissa was expecting it, she wanted to try her luck. Akari was accompanying her, and she was as impressed as Marissa.
"Seems like their building is made of glass and marble..." she told Marissa in a dreamy whisper, "If their offices are so impressive, then how polished their homes must be."
Marissa gave a small smile to Akari.
"I once lived in such a big mansion, Akari. All that glitters is not gold, my friend. People living in massive houses are usually heartless." She didn’t say it out loud and eyed the glossy floor beneath her shoes.
"Ms. Aaron? Ms. Akari?" a pleasantly looking young man approached them with a smile on his face. He looked good in the black suit and the golden glass frames suited him a lot.
Marissa and Akari got up from the couch when he stood over them, "Hello. I’m Dean." He extended his hand for a handshake towards Marissa.
And then he moved his attention to Akari, "You must be the owner, Ms. Akari. Right?"
Marissa and Akari both looked at each other for a moment then Akari cleared her throat and shook her head, "I think there is some misunderstanding, but she is the owner. I just attend the official calls on Xander’s Catering behalf."
"Oh," Dean wanted to jump in a river and kill himself for this ill information. Why did he think that the person taking his calls has to be the owner just because it’s a home-based business?
