Chapter 30: Chapter 30: Another Encounter with a Romantic Rival
The female salesperson received the money, glanced at the signature on the receipt, and felt a lump in her throat, wondering what kind of relationship the young girl had with Master Lancaster.
She didn’t dare to guess casually and could only hope that the young girl wouldn’t talk to Master Lancaster about her making things difficult for her.
"Serena, why didn’t you let me speak just now, instead you kept pinching my hand," Nathan Sawyer complained.
"Nathan, didn’t that just slap her in the face? It’s nothing to be angry about. I’ve never been to a place like this before, but now I understand," Serena Yeats replied gently.
"Serena, I’m sorry."
"Why are you apologizing? You didn’t do anything wrong," Serena Yeats glanced at a mother-and-baby shop in the distance, "Let’s go have a look there."
What they didn’t know was that two bodyguards from afar were watching them and simultaneously reporting what had just happened to Elias Lancaster.
Downstairs at Lancaster Group.
"Serena, I won’t go up. You go quickly," Nathan Sawyer said.
This was Lancaster Group, the cold face of The Living Yama was chilling even to think about, she definitely didn’t want to go up!
"Uncle isn’t that scary, he’s just like that to strangers," Serena Yeats said helplessly.
"Haha..." Nathan Sawyer’s lips twitched, "That’s how he is with you. Try it with someone else."
The sisters said their goodbyes, unwilling to part.
Serena Yeats directly called Quentin Shaw at the staircase entrance.
She was afraid Elias Lancaster was in a meeting and didn’t want to disturb him, so she asked Special Assistant Shaw to come pick her up.
As a special assistant, how could Quentin Shaw not be present during President Lancaster’s meeting?
When his phone vibrated, he glanced at it and then quickly looked up at Elias Lancaster.
Elias Lancaster was authoritatively giving a speech, but his eyes kept darting to the phone beside him.
Quentin Shaw picked up the phone and left the meeting room, quickly returning the call to Serena Yeats.
"Madam, do you need anything? President Lancaster is currently in a meeting."
Serena Yeats laughed, "Special Assistant Shaw, I’m downstairs at the company. Before leaving, Uncle told me to use the president’s private elevator, which one is it?"
Quentin Shaw, "..."
"Wait for me there, I’ll come down to get you. Don’t leave the building."
After hanging up the call, Serena Yeats stared at the elevators before her, looking puzzled.
Watching the white-collar workers walking past her occasionally, she felt out of place. She moved to a corner near the building’s doorstep.
She felt so hungry, having vomited up her lunch. After waking, she only had a cake and a bag of chips.
She hadn’t felt hungry while shopping earlier, but now she was extremely hungry.
"Little sister, what are you doing here?"
A sweet voice suddenly sounded.
Serena Yeats looked up and saw Dolae Thorne walking toward her.
She scrutinized Serena Yeats, "Are you here to see Elias? I’ll take you up."
Serena Yeats didn’t have a favorable impression of this woman. After Elias Lancaster had told her about her identity, she still tried to provoke her like this.
But as far as Dolae Thorne was concerned, based on the information she had gathered, Serena Yeats was just insecure, had withdrawn from college without finishing, had been publicly disowned by her family, and most importantly was broke.
She stood in front of Serena Yeats, "It’s alright, I understand your agreement in marriage to Elias, it’s not your fault. I’m here to discuss a collaboration on behalf of The Thorne Group. I can take you up."
Serena Yeats gave her a peculiar look.
"I’m not going."
Dolae Thorne, full of pride, reached out to grab Serena Yeats and said with a smile, "It’s fine, I’ll take you up to Elias."
Serena Yeats quickly dodged to the side, a bit angry, "I’m Elias’s wife. I said I’m not going, don’t you understand?"
Dolae Thorne frowned slightly. She had just stated they were in a contract marriage, and Serena Yeats hadn’t denied it, which meant it was true.
At that moment.
Quentin Shaw’s voice was heard.
"Madam."
He ran towards Serena Yeats, shielding her and looking at Dolae Thorne with a defensive expression.
"Miss Thorne, I recall our Lancaster Corporation and The Thorne Family having no collaborative relationships, so what brings you here...?"
Dolae Thorne naturally recognized Quentin Shaw. After all, it was Quentin Shaw who had represented Elias Lancaster during the matchmaking. Hearing him address Serena Yeats made her jealous.
She wanted to explain, but Serena Yeats quickly interrupted.
"She just tried to drag me away."
Quentin Shaw’s expression changed and he took out his phone to notify Elias Lancaster.
Dolae Thorne was taken aback.
"Special Assistant Shaw, this is a misunderstanding. We just met at lunch. Serena, at lunch you were with Elias, we did meet."
Quentin Shaw looked at Serena Yeats.
Serena Yeats glared at Dolae Thorne with clear eyes.
"We don’t know each other, you were the one talking."
Quentin Shaw detected a hint from Dolae Thorne’s expression since, after all, the matchmaking partner was personally mentioned by Old Madam Lancaster.
Bullying the little wife of President Lancaster’s family, doesn’t she see if she’s worthy!
He coldly said, "Please, Miss Thorne, leave. I need to take Madam to see President Lancaster."
Dolae Thorne watched unwillingly as Quentin Shaw respectfully led Serena Yeats away, wondering how this unwanted woman managed to have Elias Lancaster pamper her so much.
The Lancaster Family wasn’t your average wealthy family. When she was initially upset, it was because Elias hadn’t respected her by sending an assistant to the matchmaking.
But now, seeing Serena Yeats, she realized what she had missed. She would make sure to reclaim everything that belonged to her.
Quentin Shaw didn’t ask much and led Serena Yeats to the exclusive elevator.
"Madam, you have to send President Lancaster a message to gain elevator management access."
Serena Yeats responded with an ’Oh’, took out her phone, and sent Elias Lancaster a WeChat message.
"Uncle, Special Assistant Shaw is here to pick me up. He said can you give me elevator management access?"
Quentin Shaw saw what she sent and slightly twitched his lips.
The next moment.
Elias Lancaster’s reply was visible.
Special Assistant Shaw quickly operated on the phone, then took a photo of Serena Yeats.
Her face was added to the elevator access list, facial recognition.
"Madam, it’s ready, let’s go."
Quentin Shaw understood why during the meeting, President Lancaster was constantly checking his phone. This treatment....
Quentin Shaw took Serena Yeats, and many people thought she was a new employee.
Until the two of them entered the private elevator under everyone’s gaze, there was envy all around.
"Special Assistant Shaw is truly special. In the company, only he has this access."
"Yes, but that young girl must have some tricks. Who knows how she managed to get into the exclusive elevator with Special Assistant Shaw."
Quentin Shaw escorted Serena Yeats to the president’s office, then hurriedly rushed to the meeting room side.
But before reaching the meeting room, he encountered Elias Lancaster halfway.
He was baffled, was the meeting over?
And then something scarier happened.
A group of people followed behind Elias Lancaster.
He also noticed the president was even instructing everyone to take care after work, no need to work overtime, and that tasks should be completed within work hours.
Everyone looked at Elias Lancaster as if they’d seen a ghost.
Was this their President Lancaster?
Was this still The Living Yama?
Such a warm attitude?
