"Miss Everett, it’s finally great to et you in person. You look even more beautiful than in the photos!"
The receptionist’s tone was sincere, completely heartfelt, without any flattery.
She finally understood Mr. Elliot. If she had such a beautiful and adorable sister, she would hang her photos all over the company even more excessively than he did!
"Serena, Elliot spoils you so much!" Nancy Sutton couldn’t help but say enviously.
Serena blinked lightly, "If you like, I can have my big brother consider you as his sister too."
"No, no!" Nancy Sutton imdiately shook her head vigorously like a rattle-drum.
She didn’t want to be spoiled like a sister; that’s not what she wanted!
While they were talking, the elevator already reached the top floor. As the doors opened, they saw Elliot Everett standing there, obviously having run out of his office upon hearing she was coming.
"Serena, why didn’t you tell you were coming to the company?" Elliot looked at her with all the warmth in his eyes, unconsciously softening his tone when speaking to her, "I could’ve prepared in advance and co to pick you up."
"No need for all that trouble, I ca to see you, not to be a bother."
His dear sister was so considerate, unlike Cassia Everett who always made a big fuss whenever she ca to the company and demanded he personally pick her up.
Elliot’s gaze on her beca even warr and more indulgent, "Serena, I like it when you trouble . You can give more trouble."
After they finished talking, Nancy Sutton politely greeted, "Hi, Elliot!"
For Serena’s friend, Elliot’s attitude was gentle and polite, "Nice to see you again."
Nancy Sutton gave him a ladylike smile.
"Co on, let’s go inside and chat instead of standing here."
As soon as he finished speaking, Elliot reached out to ruffle Serena’s hair, while Nancy instinctively moved closer, clearly also wanting a pat.
Elliot’s dark eyes showed a hint of helplessness mixed with amusent. She was so self-aware, but he didn’t mind.
Elliot controlled his expression, reached out, and gently patted Nancy’s head too. Seeing her satisfied look, he couldn’t help but smile.
Just consider it another little sister...
Nancy brightly eyed him, "Elliot, this is what Serena brought you, you should try it."
Elliot recognized it as pastries from The Gilded Crumb and smiled slightly, "Thanks, Serena, it’s been a long ti since I’ve had these pastries."
"If you like them, I can have soone bring you a box every day."
Send a box every day?
Elliot raised an eyebrow slightly, being aware that The Gilded Crumb’s pastries were limited each day and rare to deliver, even with money.
His dear sister was not only good in dicine but also well-connected... Who knows what other surprises she has!
Elliot took out his phone, snapped a photo, and sent it to Ian Everett and Niall Everett, his words full of bragging.
[Serena personally delivered this to the office, looks like I’m her favorite brother.]
Ian and Niall imdiately replied with a [I’m going to kill you] .
Elliot couldn’t be bothered with them anymore and couldn’t resist showing off again by sending the photo to their three-person group chat, concise yet full of bragging.
[My sister brought these pastries.]
[What’s to boast about? It’s just a plate of pastries from The Gilded Crumb.]
Seth Sterling’s tone was full of envy and jealousy.
Damian Quinn glanced at it, a slight smile on his thin lips, sending a photo of a bandaged wound in return.
[This is from my baby who bandaged .]
What the heck!
Far away in Africa, Seth Sterling saw these ssages and imdiately wore a look of agony.
Dang, they’re bullying him because he doesn’t have a sister or girlfriend!
[Master Damian, when are you calling back? I’ve already been tanned. What if my handso face is ruined by the sun and I can’t get a girlfriend anymore...]
Damian was too lazy to respond to him and started texting the little girl.
[Little one, I kinda miss you...]
The Everett Group.
Reading the ssage from the man, Serena’s rosy lips couldn’t help but curve into a smile. She then put away her phone and told Elliot.
"Bro, I have to go do sothing now."
Her dear sister hadn’t been there long and was already leaving?
Elliot felt a bit reluctant, but didn’t want to force her to stay, so he nodded gently, "Alright, Serena, I’ll see you off."
Serena quickly refused, "No need, I can go back myself."
Unconsciously, Elliot frowned. Serena’s expression seed like she was sneaking off to et a boyfriend behind her family’s back...
As soon as that thought occurred, Elliot quickly dismissed it. Serena had just returned to Imperia not long ago. Besides, with their younger brothers watching so closely, Serena couldn’t possibly have so so-called boyfriend!
Thinking of this, Elliot felt much more at ease, his long fingers gently tapping the edge of the table.
He had already reached an agreent with Damian Quinn. Once Old Mrs. Quinn was discharged, the Quinn Family would call off the engagent.
And now, there were only three days until Old Mrs. Quinn would be discharged.
The marriage between the Quinn Family and Everett Family was definitely off, he would not allow his dear sister to marry that old man Damian Quinn!
...
The Everett Group and The Quinn Group weren’t far apart, Serena made her way over with the pastries. Having inford Chase Sherman, the receptionist treated her with great courtesy.
"Miss Serena, please follow , Assistant Malcolm is already waiting for you."
Serena nodded and was about to follow her when a sharp voice suddenly screeched from behind.
"Stop right there, I’ve been waiting here for so long and you won’t let in, but you’re letting her in?!"
The woman was quite pretty, but her overly flamboyant attire made her seem rather vulgar.
The receptionist politely responded to her unreasonable behavior, "I’m sorry Miss Sumrs, you’re not allowed in."
"Why?!" Jasmine Sumrs’ face darkened with anger, and when she saw Serena’s face, jealousy flashed in her eyes, "I’m from the Sumrs Family here to discuss business with Master Damian, and you’re letting this little girl in but not ? Who is she and why does she get to go in?!"
Chase hadn’t revealed Serena’s identity to the receptionists, just instructed them to treat her with respect, making Jasmine Sumrs even more arrogant, convinced that Serena was a shaless woman trading on her looks.
"You look so young, how can you be so shaless?"
