Chapter 2 10: Madam, why are you here suddenly?
Roxane arrived at the company and headed towards reception. However, before she could say anything, the receptionist, who looked stunned upon seeing her, acted as if she were receiving the emperor.
– Hello, Mrs. Flores. You are here to see President Flores…
Roxane’s eyes widened in surprise at the title ‘Mrs. Flores’. She didn’t expect that even the receptionist knew her identity.
– Mrs. Flores, President Flores is in the office today. This way, please, the receptionist said warmly before carefully leading Roxane to Sebastien’s private elevator. After she entered the elevator, she even pressed Roxane’s button and said:
– Mrs. Flores, have a good afternoon.
Roxane’s smile was awkward but polite as she thought to herself, “Is there any need to be so exaggerated?”
…
As soon as the elevator door closed, the receptionist quickly took out her phone and sent a message in a group chat.
The receptionist: It’s over! It’s finish! Ms. Flores came to the company to catch the adulterous couple in the act.
With this message, a commotion immediately broke out in the group chat.
…
Roxane raised her head and looked at the ever-changing numbers in the elevator. Little did she know that a commotion had already broken out in the staff group chat.
…
At the same time, Enzo, who was sitting at his desk, noticed his subordinate enthusiastically typing on his phone. His subordinate even looked like he was watching a good show. With that, he walked out with a displeased expression and kicked his subordinate’s chair before swearing:
– Whore ! I work hard to clean up your mess, but are you having fun? Do you want me to clean you up?
– No! It’s not that!
The subordinate, whose chair was kicked, said hurriedly, holding up his phone to show Enzo. Then, he said,
– The group chat said that a woman brought a child to the company this morning to pick up President Flores. Everyone said that the child is the illegitimate child of President Flores. A message has just arrived saying that Ms. Flores has just arrived at the company. This is a big deal!
Enzo was stunned for a few moments. When he recovered, he cursed under his breath and rushed to the elevator.
…
When Roxane came out of the elevator, Patrice saw her immediately. He quickly came forward to greet her before asking:
– Madam, why are you here all of a sudden?
– I finished my exams. I came to eat with Mr. Seb, Roxane replied gently. When she saw that Sebastien’s door was closed, she asked:
-Is he busy? If so, I will wait outside first.
– No need, no need, Patrice said hastily, thinking to himself, “If the president finds out I left his wife waiting outside, I’ll probably be fired.”
– The president had a meeting this morning, and he just finished responding to important emails. He was about to eat when a visitor arrived,” said Patrice, reporting Sebastien’s schedule directly to Roxane.
Hearing Patrice’s words, Roxane stopped in her tracks.
– Eh? So, I’ll go later. I don’t want to disturb him.
Patrice said with confidence:
– It’s not a job. You certainly won’t disturb him.
He didn’t wait for Roxane’s response before raising his hand and knocking on the door. Then, he didn’t wait for a response before opening the door.
When Roxane looked into the office, she saw Sebastien sitting at his desk while Deborah was sitting on the couch. At the same time, Mathis tried to climb up to sit on Sebastien’s lap.
When Sebastien saw Roxane, his eyes lit up like the stars in the night sky. He immediately got up and walked towards her. Her wintry expression was instantly replaced by one as gentle as the spring breeze. He asked :
– Have you finished your exams?
She nodded.
– Mmm.
Deborah, who was sitting on the sofa, stood up and shouted with a slight smile on her face:
– Hello, Mrs. Flores.

– It’s hot. Are you thirsty? Would you like a drink? I’ll have someone send a drink immediately, Sebastian asked, reaching out to tuck a strand of her hair behind her ear.
Roxane raised her head to look at him and replied:
– I’m not thirsty, but I still want to drink your company’s fruit juice.
The juice here was really fresh and different from those sold outside.
Sebastien smiled at him before raising his head to look at Patrice meaningfully.
He naturally understood Sebastien’s meaning. He turned around and left the office to ask someone to bring a glass of juice.
Sebastien held Roxane’s hand and led her to her chair.
Roxane’s eye was immediately drawn to a green lunch box on the coffee table.
Seeing the direction of Roxane’s gaze, Deborah said softly:
– Previously, when Sebastien went to the hospital, I caused him a lot of problems. I couldn’t think of a way to thank him so I could only cook something for him. After a while, she smiled apologetically and said:
-I didn’t know you were coming. Otherwise, I would definitely cook more.
– Oh.
Roxane didn’t seem to understand the deeper meaning of Deborah’s words. She turned to look at Sebastien and said in a tone of regret:
– Since you’ve already had lunch, I’m going to get my brother to have lunch with me.
