Chapter 1585
Joanne hesitated whether she should explain to Lucas, but in the end, she decided to forget it.
She handed Lucas the phone and then was about to leave, but Lucas didn't take the phone.
"Ms. Atherton, Mr. Atherton is in a bad mood because there's something wrong with a project. Can you give the
phone to Mr. Atherton yourself? Mr. Atherton loves you so much. He must be very happy when he sees you."
Joanne gave a faint smile. "You're so loyal. Shouldn't Edwin give you a raise?"
"Mr. Atherton already pays me a lot more than my peers!" Lucas said modestly. Then he continued in a joking
tone," Ms. Atherton, I would appreciate it if you would say something nice about me to Mr. Atherton."
Joanne was speechless.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLucas led Joanne in Edwin's private elevator. They went up to Edwin's office on the top floor.
The receptionist recognized Joanne. She was scolded by Lucas for keeping Joanne out last time.
When Joanne showed up at the Atherton Group, the chat group that the receptionist was in started gossiping.
[Who is Ms. Walters? Mr. Cooper came to meet her in person. Sometimes when the public companies' bosses come
to visit, Mr. Cooper may not come to receive them in person.]
[Exactly! Last time Mr. Cooper said that anytime Ms. Walters came to see Mr. Atherton, she could take the
president's elevator.]
[Have you seen the gossip on the Internet? It’s said Mr.
Atherton was spotted with Miss Sinclair together in an icecream store. Mr. Atherton then clarified that he and
Sharon were not in a relationship. Did he do that for Ms. Walters or Miss Sinclair?]
[Whatever, Miss Sinclair is now also in Mr. Atherton's office. Let's see what happens!]
The elevator reached the top floor.
When Jimmy saw Lucas and Joanne, he had an awkward smile on his face. He hurriedly greeted, "Ms. Walters, Mr.
Cooper."
"Jimmy, what's the matter?"
Jimmy, the secretary, looked awkwardly at Lucas.
Lucas realized something was wrong. Joanne also saw the look in Jimmy’s eyes, so she said, "Be straightforward."
"Mr. Cooper, just now when you went downstairs to meet Ms. Walters, Miss Sinclair suddenly came. She insisted on
seeing Mr. Atherton, and we couldn't stop her, so she's now in Mr. Atherton's office."
"What?" Lucas's face darkened. He asked, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"I had sent you a message, but you went to meet Ms.
Walters, and I guess you didn't notice the message." Jimmy explained.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLucas turned to Joanne and said in an awkward tone, "Mrs. Atherton..."
"Noah is here?" Joanne glanced toward the closed door of Edwin's office. She then had a smile. "Good. I'd like to talk
to her."
Seeing that Joanne didn't seem angry, Lucas relaxed. He reprimanded Jimmy, "Don't bring just anyone into the
office again. If you can't stop them, call security. What do you think security is for?"
Jimmy hung her head in frustration.
Joanne curled up her lips and said, "It's alright. Noah is Edwin's ex-girlfriend and she's now the director of Eclipse
Worldwide Entertainment Co. It's possible Jimmy couldn't stop her. Jimmy, get me a cup of tea. Thank you."
"Yes, Ms. Walters," Jimmy was finally relieved. She then hurried to the pantry.
After she made the tea, she sent a message to the company's staff chatting group, [Ms. Walters is really nice. She
interceded with Mr. Cooper for me. Mr. Atherton definitely made the clarification about Sharon for Ms. Walter, rr
Joanne kept wondering if Harry hadn't kidnapped Tail, who would it be. Finally, Noah's name came into her mind.
Four years ago, Patrick and she had been set up, and Noah had been the first to show up at the scene, and she
called Edwin to come to spot the scene.
