Chapter 182 - 186 Shock
Just as Benson reached the elevator, Channing received a phone call and rushed to tell Benson, "Mr. Leach, there's a Miss Lewis downstairs who wants to see you. Should I let her in?"
Benson narrowed his eyes and said, "Miss Lewis?"
Channing nodded heavily, "Yes. The receptionist said that Miss Lewis has an imposing manner as if the receptionist will be fired if she does not allow Miss Lewis to come up to see you. And Miss Lewis is carrying a lunch box. Could it be that..."
Could it be that Mrs. Leach had returned from the restaurant and packed lunch for Mr. Leach?
Benson watched the elevator doors open and, instead of walking in, asked coolly, "What?"
Channing hurriedly said, "Could it be that Mrs. Leach was done with her business and came to see you at the office, but didn't tell the receptionist who she was so she could give you a surprise?"
Hearing the word "surprise", Benson's cold face eased a bit and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but lift up.
"Let her in, then." Benson turned around and went back to his office.
The elevator doors closed again.
Channing hurriedly replied to the receptionist to let Miss Lewis in.
After replying to the receptionist, Channing sensibly went back to his work instead of blocking the doorway and being the third wheel.
Benson sat in his office, expecting a surprise from his Mrs. Leach.
He was thinking, if Juliana surprised him, he should create a surprise for her later.
Well, it was no good sitting there waiting like this.
Benson stood up and hid behind the door, listening to the sound of high heels outside with a smile on his face.
He waited to give Juliana a surprise hug as she opened the door and came in.
There was a knock on the door.
Benson said in a low voice, "Come in."
With a click, the door was slowly pushed open.
Benson held his breath and reached out his arms just to hug her.
But the moment the woman entered, Benson violently threw his arms away and raised his foot to kick her out.
"Ah!"
Selene pushed the door in joyfully, but she had only stepped in with one foot when she was kicked down sharply and fell on the door.
Her head hit the door even hard, making her grimace in pain.
Benson looked at Selene coldly, "Why are you here? Who let you in?"
Selene's ear hit the door and turned red.
With her lunch box in her hand and one hand over her ear, she looked up at Benson with tears in her eyes, "Mr. Payne told me to come up here."
Selene had been stopped in the lobby by the receptionist, who had told her that she could not come up to see Benson without an appointment.
Selene had been having trouble with everything lately, so she had lost her temper with the receptionist, asking her if she knew who she was. She had said her last name was Lewis, and that if she was not allowed to come up and upset Benson, the receptionist would be fired.
Seeing that Selene had been aggressive, the receptionist had remembered that it had been said that Mr. Leach had recently married Miss Lewis, so she had not neglected and had called Channing.
Selene had purposely not given her first name but only her surname, in order to make them misunderstand and let her come up.
She had succeeded surprisingly.
Nevertheless, Selene was kicked in the side unexpectedly before she even entered the room, and her back was almost broken.
Benson had been waiting for a surprise with great joy but ended up with such a thing.
He was burning with rage with his face cold and the aura he gave off was as cold as ice.
"Channing, Channing!" Benson shouted in fury.
The top floor of the building was Benson's office, and outside his office was Channing's small office.
Once Channing left, there was no one else on this floor except Benson and Selene.
