Everyone looked at her as they wondered who said that.
“Was Jason serious when he said that workers were going as if there was an outbreak of a disease in the company?” the woman asked as she looked around and was getting more shocked.
“Excuse me, miss, how may I help you?” a female employee asked as she walked towards their guests.
The guest looked at her trying to see a name tag but was surprised as there wasn’t any.
“Who are you? My name is Abi, the receptionist,” the employee answered.
“Why weren’t you here when I walked in? It’s bad for the company’s image for the receptionist not to be there to greet the visitors,” the guest said as she looked at the female employee.
“I am sorry, Madam, but I am not really a receptionist. I work at another department but since we are lacking one, I chose to volunteer for it,” Abi explained, making the guest not her head.
“Okay. I am here to see your boss,” the guest said, making Abi look at her with a worried expression.
“I am sorry but Mr Jason is not working here anymore,” Abi told her as she tried to sound as polite as possible.
“Oh, I am sorry but I meant your new boss. I am here to see Miss Anderson,” the guest said with a smile.
“Sorry, but we weren’t informed about you.”
“No need to be sorry. I understand that you are just doing your job. Just tell her that I am waiting for her downstairs,” she said politely, making Abi nod her head.
“Okay miss. Wait for a while I confirm. By the way, who should I say wants to see her?” Abi asked as she looked at her.
“Just tell her Elsa Flores is here,” the guest said as she seemed pleased with her name but Abi’s mood turned sour.
“Okay,” Abi said as she forced a smile.
All workers knew that their company had always been suppressed because Jason opted to support Flores when they were being attacked by the Scotts causing their company to be inflicted. Seeing the young Miss Flores, Abi wondered whether she was here to seek help or cause trouble to their new boss. But since she was a guest in their company, she knew that she had to treat her with the utmost respect.
She dialed the president’s secretary's office.
“Excuse me, can you please inform Miss Anderson that Miss Elsa Flores is here to see her,” Abi said.
“Okay. Thank you.”
In the president's office, Amanda heard a knock and she responded to it.
“Madam, there is Miss Elsa Flores who is waiting downstairs so that she can see you,” the secretary said, shocking Amanda as she wasn’t expecting Elsa to come and find her so soon.
“I will go downstairs myself,” Amanda said as she took her phone and started walking towards the door.
Amanda walked from the elevator and saw her best friend. Seeing how she looked, she couldn't help but start shedding tears. She knew how Elsa cared about her appearance but from how she was dressed, Amanda knew that things were so difficult for her. After all, she was dressed in an outfit she had accompanied her to buy six years ago.
From how Elsa always spent money on clothes and appearance, she never wore clothes for more than a year.
“Elsa,” she called out, making Elsa look up from her phone and see who was calling her.
Elsa was shocked as Amanda had changed so much. She looked more like a businesswoman than the housewife she used to be. Her face was glowing. Everything was just wow. Even though her life had turned upside down because of the woman in front of her, she couldn't bring herself to hate her as she was her best friend and loved her dearly.
“Mandy,” Elsa shouted before starting to run towards her.
Seeing this, everyone looked at them and Amanda opened her arms wide to hug her.
When they embraced each other, they cried and forgot they weren't the only ones in the room.
After some time, they looked at each other and laughed.
“I am so sorry. I shouldn't have gone abroad and left you here all alone and to suffer,” Amanda apologized when she saw Elsa’s face, which had always been so white had turned a little darker than before and she knew it was because of stress.
“No. No. You shouldn't apologize. It wasn’t your fault. It was our fault for thinking that you would be happy when you got married to the Scotts. Now, all these years we have seen what kind of a person he is,” Elsa said in a reassuring voice, making Amanda blame herself even more.
“I remember you used to spoil me. Now it is my chance before your family’s company gets back on its feet because it will as long as I am around. Come on, let’s go get my bag and then go to the mall,” Amanda said as she dragged Elsa towards the elevator before stopping and looking at the two receptionists at the front desk.
“Elsa is my best friend. She should have a free pass every time she visits. Remember that,” Amanda said to them.
“Yes, Madam,” they said as they nodded their heads.
When they arrived at one of the biggest malls in the city Amanda looked at it with disgust when she saw its name, making Elsa chuckle.
“Not feeling like going in?” Elsa asked as her face said it all
“Yes,” Amanda said as she nodded her head and turned to look around.
“Let’s go to that mall. It would be dangerous for us to go in here then we accidentally meet with them. We both know what kind of humiliation we will face. We better avoid it,” she said making Elsa nod her head in understanding.
They went to the other mall hand in hand as they talked while laughing without caring what people would say.
Everyone looked at them as if they recognized Elsa; they could tell she was a powerful person.
“Oh no,” Elsa exclaimed when she saw Marie walking together with Eunice towards them.
