Having to wait an entire hour just for Mr. Stone shows how unstable her marital relationship is.
Regardless of the circumstances, Zara is not afraid.
Thinking about this, her eyes flickered unintentionally.
Coincidentally at that moment, Lambert's assistant had finally arrived. He glanced at the curious gaze of the other staff members, which effectively made them turn their heads and continue their work. He then went straight to the front desk, and upon seeing Ariana, he respectfully said, "Madam, Mr. Stone has asked me to escort you up."
Zara: "..."
The receptionist's face at this moment couldn't be described as just pale. So... she really is the CEO's wife!
Thinking about the words she had just said, she practically wanted to slap herself!
Zara was also startled.
She didn't expect Lambert to let Assistant Hills personally greet this woman. Hearing Assistant Hills's addressing of this woman, Zara's complexion momentarily flashed with panic.
However, good self-restraint made her calm down.
At the same time, she mentally geared up, thinking that as long as she had her cousin Stefan, there was nothing to fear, regardless of the other party's capabilities.
Meanwhile, Ariana didn't even glance at them.
Instead, she looked at Assistant Hills and asked, "Has he finished his work?"
Assistant Hills somewhat helplessly replied, "Mr. Stone asked me to tell you he was in a meeting just now, so he couldn't answer your call. Next time you come, you can directly go to his office."
Ariana: "Hmm."
Just like that, the receptionist and Zara helplessly watched Ariana enter the company without uttering a single word.
The rest of the people who were witnessing this scene were nearly laughing their shoulders off.
No one had expected that the girl was actually their CEO's wife!
Many people were resentfully silent about Zara always acting arrogantly and constantly lecturing others due to her connection with Stefan. However, this moment provoked their hidden delight and schadenfreude. They sneered under their breath, thinking Zara had gotten into trouble this time. They were curious whether the lady 'president' was as unpopular as the rumors suggested.
If that was the case, Zara might have a chance to gloat again.
However, if their marriage was harmonious, Zara would likely be in trouble.
Of course, with Stefan present, she wouldn't end up in too much distress.
Still, watching her lose face made them quite happy.
...
Meanwhile, once Ariana reached the penthouse, she saw Lambert standing at the door.
He seemed to be waiting especially for her.
Upon seeing Ariana, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes. He hurriedly walked towards her, blinking and laughing, "What makes you so generous today, coming to see me?"
Ariana snorted, "You make it sound like I was not good before."
Lambert immediately responded earnestly, "Ah, dear, you have misunderstood me." He glanced at the lunch box in Assistant Hills's hand and instantly understood that Ariana had brought it. He revealed a surprised expression, saying, "Hey? You even brought food for me. My wife is truly amazing." He then took the lunch box from Assistant Hills's hand.
Assistant Hills had been listening to all this, feeling quite bitter.
Upon seeing the CEO accept the takeaway, he quickly found a pretext and left.
