742 Trouble
Raymond, who had just sat down, was ushered into Ms. Meredith's office by the guards, which made the people who were sitting outside the office wait patiently to blow up.
An old man in a white wizard's robe jumped up and yelled at the office door that had just been closed. "Who is this man, and why can he just go in!"
An old woman sitting not far from the old man covered her mouth and snickered. "Who is he? He's the head of the logistics department of Zhenghong, the guy who got into a big fight at Lord Diergos' cocktail party last night......
"It seems that it was because of him that Xavier was dismissed from his position......"
"It is said that this kid is the one who Princess Gladys in his office......"
"This person doesn't dare to offend, it is said that he even dares to withhold the materials of the secret guard......"
There was some noisy talking, but the old man who stood up became more and more frightened the more he listened, but the old woman not far away smiled at him and beckoned, pointing to the vacant seat beside him.
The old man who hesitated before walking over and sitting down was still a little angry, but the old woman who spoke first leaned closer and lowered her voice and said. "Don't pay attention to this kid, the people who provoked Princess Gladys will not end well, you just wait and see......"
The angry old man finally calmed down when he heard this, but the discussion caused by Raymond's "invitation" in advance continued, and those who came to see Ms. Meredith soon knew that the guy in Ms. Meredith's office was Raymond, the chief officer who had not been in the logistics department for a long time, and that what he was about to face was probably not as comfortable as it seemed.
Raymond, who was led into it, didn't know the discussion and speculation caused by him, but because Ms. Meredith's office was not the same as in the logistics department, he was led in. Raymond appeared in a long and narrow hallway, and at the end of the corridor there was a large door.
But the narrow corridor around me is a pleasant feeling, because the surrounding colors are completely feminine, and even the small sofas placed on both sides of the corridor are in warm colors, which look pleasing to the eye.
But when the attendant left through the side door, a crack suddenly appeared in the wall in the center of the corridor, and a man came out of it, and carefully pushed the wall back again, restoring the corridor to its original appearance.
Raymond was about to walk forward. But after seeing this person's face, he stopped in astonishment.
The white cutouts and the gold whitewashed close-fitting leather armor set off the full chest shape very eye-catching, and the black tight hunting pants also made the slender and round thighs more attractive, but the black leather boots underneath made the corners of Raymond's mouth upturned. Because if this girl had a long leather whip in her hand, the queen would probably fall to the ground immediately. Kissing her boots and begging for a whipping......
But Gladys emerged from the secret door. But after restoring the wall to its original state, her right hand unconsciously patted her chest, so that the pounding heart could be soothed, but this inadvertent bad habit made her full chest tremble, forming a dizzying beauty.
Closed the secret door and turned his head. But when Gladys saw the young wizard at the end of the hallway, her face sank, and the anger she had been suppressing since last night finally exploded irrepressibly.
It's just that a good education and long-term habits have made it impossible for her to speak ill of her. But scolding with a straight face can still be in line with her identity. "Mistress Raymond! it's rude to look at a young girl like that, and if you insist, maybe my aunt will try a small bottle in the laboratory and make your eyes her collection!"
This was full of threatening scolding, but instead of being frightened by the guy standing there stunned, it made the corners of his upturned mouth form a larger arc, although his gaze was no longer staring, but the strange smile on his face was even more infuriating, Gladys swore that if it weren't for her aunt inside, she would have punched this guy in the face!
The elegant and quiet formulaic smile disappeared, but glaring at Gladys, whose cheeks were puffed out and her fists clenched, made Raymond finally realize the childishness of her heart, or it could be said that she had experienced it less.
It's stupid and naïve, maybe it's to describe this kind of girl who has been carefully cared for and raised in a greenhouse and has never been wronged in the slightest.
Suddenly, Raymond, who no longer hated this girl, thought about it and stepped forward, and after bowing his head slightly, he smiled and opened his mouth. "The costumes are very good, but I wonder if your aunt knows that you are dressed like this?"
Raymond's gentle, calm gaze immediately improved Gladys's mood, and she stretched out her arms and spun in a circle on tiptoe, showing off her perfect body and the clothes she had just put on. "Is it pretty? This was taught to me by the fish-man girls who came from Qingling Lake, and they said that only the most beautiful girls in their clan could have such clothes!"
The origin of this dress was told, and Raymond, who retrieved information about the fish people of Qingling Lake, immediately understood the reason for this situation, but Gladys, who was waiting for compliments in front of him, made him unable to tell the truth, so he had to give a gentle reminder. "It's good-looking, but I remember that the reputation of the Qingling Lake Fish-Man Girl is not very good, so as a kind reminder, I think you should change your clothes and go to see your aunt......"
Gladys, who still had a longing in his heart, did not comprehend it, but left the secret door and came to the door of Ms. Meredith's office, muttering in a low voice as he knocked on the door. "That's not good, I have to surprise my aunt!"
Raymond's angry behavior made him shut his mouth and followed Gladys into the inner room.
The fan-shaped room was more of a living room than an office, and more than ten meters from the door was a semi-circular desk, where a gray-haired old man sat with his back to the door, and opposite him was the middle-aged beauty that Raymond had seen at the reception.
The middle-aged beauty who turned her eyes because of the knock on the door immediately seemed to be frozen with an elegant and tranquil smile on her face, and her eyes flashed with astonishment.
Gladys, who had run at a brisk pace, was unaware of it, and when he got closer, he stretched out his arms and stood on tiptoe as he had just done, and shouted as he spun. "Aunt Meredith, does I look good in this dress?"
The old man, who had his back to the door, finally turned around and said with a smile. "Ho ho ho ho ...... It turned out that the little princess came, let the old man enjoy it too......"
But the old man's words could not be finished, and the stunned expression on his face had just appeared, when suddenly a field of sight isolation appeared in front of Gladys, completely isolating her from the old man, and Lady Meredith's order was immediately given. "Gladys, go back to your room and change your clothes!"
"Auntie, what are you doing!"
"I'll tell you the reason when you come back after changing your clothes, and remember not to leave through the main entrance!"
Ms. Meredith's undoubted tone made Gladys, who was standing there, puff up her cheeks, and her eyes were a little red, but she immediately rushed to the corner of the room, and as a secret door opened, Gladys, who ran in, also closed the secret door heavily, causing the sound to echo in the room.
"I'm sorry, Mihir, but could you please forget what you just saw?"
"Dear Lady Meredith, I didn't see anything of the old man just now, only the voice that seemed to be a little princess......"
"Thank you very much, I will arrange your affairs!"
As Ms. Meredith uttered her last words, the force field shield that blocked her line of sight was also removed.
Seeing the old man bowing down and the anger on Lady Meredith's face, Raymond's heart was completely cold...... (To be continued......)
