Chapter 330: My Wife Comes First
Keira was humming as she entered the Liu Group’s building. She brought some snacks for Zach. Most of the employees already knew her, so they stopped whatever they were doing to greet their President’s wife.
Keira had tried to persuade Thea into coming with her, so she could visit Jeru discreetly, but Thea refused for fear of getting caught up in a scandal. For Jeru’s sake, she would never take that risk. Not until her past connection with the underworld was totally wiped out, which Keira understood, so she no longer insisted.
She went inside the elevator and pressed the button for Zach’s floor. The Liu Group owned a massive building complex, and this was the main building. She heard Zach’s office occupied a whole story of the main building because it also included his private conference room, his private resting room, and some space for his own executive staff.
As soon as Keira stepped out of the elevator, the receptionist and guards greeted her in the reception area. They led her to an inner section of the floor where the walls were made of clear glass, so Keira could see Zach’s main office room. She only saw a woman inside. Neither Zach nor his assistant, Dave, was around, so she assumed that the woman must be Zach’s secretary.
She walked directly toward Zach’s main office room but was stopped by the woman. "I’m sorry, Ma’am, do you have an appointment? No one is allowed to enter the President’s office, especially when he’s out. You can wait in the reception area. The President is currently in a meeting in the conference room."
Keira raised an eyebrow. She did not call Zach on purpose because she wanted to surprise him, and therefore she did not know he was away from his room. ’He must be in an important meeting.’ She thought.
But why was this secretary so lacking? She should be able to recognize her boss’s wife, even if she had not seen her in person yet. Keira smiled and said, "Hmm, you must be my husband’s secretary. I’m assuming you’re new? I’ve never seen you before. I’m Keira Liu-Chan, by the way..."
The woman only stared at her with a blank expression. First, she stared at Keira’s face, then her gaze shifted down to her pregnant belly. ’What’s wrong with her?’ Keira thought as she started to get irritated. This woman was weird... Then Keira saw the woman’s facial expression change into an apologetic one.
"I’m sorry, Mrs. Liu, I’m new here, and I did not recognize you in person. It’s my first day today. Would you like something to drink?" The woman asked as she quickly opened the door to Zach’s office and let Keira in so she could wait inside.
