Your Gold Digger is Actually A True Heiress by Vera Fiore

Chapter 212 Chapter 212 Thalia held up her document folder. "Look, I'm here on legitimate business, not whatever you're thinking. "Mina scoffed, not bothering to hide her skepticism . " If it's legitimate business, why didn't you make an appointment? Don't think I haven't seen this trick before - showing up with a folder pretending you have real business so I'll let you in. That move is so last season. Everyone's tried it already. "Thalia finally understood what was happening.

Apparently, many women used the pretext of "business" to try to see Asher. No wonder the receptionist was so defensive. Rather than being annoyed, Thalia found the receptionist's dedication amusing. Finding it entertaining, she decided to play along. "Oh ? My trick is outdated?" she asked with a hint of a smile. The receptionist rolled her eyes. " Obviously. I fell for it once and let someone in. Nearly got fired on the spot.

Lucky for me, my cousin is the CEO's assistant and has spull around here, or I'd be unemployed. Still got docked half a month's pay though. So don't think you're slipping pasttoday!" " Pfft-" Thalia couldn't help but laugh. Looking at the earnest young receptionist, she asked with genuine curiosity, "Your cousin is the CEO's assistant ?" "Yeah . " Mina continued her attempt to shoo Thalia away: "Look, I get it. Mr. Blackwood is hot and rich total package.

And honestly, you're gorgeous too. But you're not his type. The man has women throwing themselves at him 24/7. Neither of us stands a chance, so saye yourself the trouble." Thalia laughed again. She never imagined being mistaken for one of Asher's hopeful admirers." So you're saying you're one of his admirers too?" Thalia asked, amused. Mina, being refreshingly straightforward, answered candidly. " Well, yeah, but I know my place. I'm not delusional.

"She looked Thalia up and down. "Seriously though, you could have any guy you wanted. Take my advice - don't fixate on Mr. Blackwood. He's practically engaged to Ms. Schulz anyway. " Chapter 212 The smile faded from Thalia's eyes. " Ms. Schulz ? "The young woman nodded enthusiastically. " Lucia Schulz, the Schulz family heiress. She's already CEO of a listed company despite being super young. Beautiful, successful, loaded - she and Mr.

Blackwood are basically a power couple straight out of a magazine. " " Is that so?" Thalia's tone cooled noticeably. Seeing her change in demeanor, Mina thought she'd finally gotten through to her." So yeah, you should probably just- "Just then, Thalia's phone vibrated. She glanced at the caller ID. Matt Ford, Asher's assistant. And apparently, the receptionist's cousin. Thalia's lips curled into a knowing smile. She turned her phone screen toward Mina.

"It's your cousin calling. Want to talk to him? " Mina's eyes widened in shock. " You know my cousin?" Thalia answered the call and handed the phone to the dumbfounded receptionist. Mina took it hesitantly, eyeing Thalia with newfound suspicion. Matt's voice cthrough clearly : " Ms. Winters, did you call earlier? Sorry I missed it." Still confused, Mina kept her eyes locked on Thalia. "Uh, Matt? It's me. " " Mina ? " Matt sounded genuinely shocked.

|| Why are you answering Ms. Winters' phone?" A second later, realization hit him like a truck. "Wait - is Ms. Winters at reception right now?" " Yeah ... so she actually knows Mr. Blackwood?" Mina asked tentatively. Hearing this, Matt felt his stomach drop. Oh shit. He swallowed nervously. " Mina ... please tellyou didn't stop her from coming up. What's the problem ? You literally toldto stop all unscheduled women trying to see Mr. Blackwood! She doesn't have an appointment, so yeah, I stopped her. " Chapter 212 Matt groaned loudly. "Oh my god! Let her up immediately! No, wait - I'm coming down to get her myself! " Mina was completely bewildered now. "What's going on? Who is she?" "Who is she?" Matt repeated incredulously as he rushed out of his office toward the elevator." She's practically our CEO's wife ! " As Matt hurried down the hallway, he collided with someone.

Looking down, he saw expensive Italian leather shoes and perfectly tailored trousers. Oh no. Matt slowly raised his gaze to meet Asher's piercing stare. " M - Mr. Blackwood ... "he stammered. Asher's eyes narrowed dangerously." CEO's wife? Who exactly are you referring to ? " Matt answered without hesitation: "Ms. Winters , of course." At this, the dangerous glint in Asher's eyes softened, replaced by something that looked suspiciously like pleasure. "She's here ? " he asked, a smile playing at the corners of his mouth. Matt nodded quickly. " Yes, sir. She's downstairs. The new receptionist - my cousin - she didn't recognize Ms. Winters and stopped her because she doesn't have an appointment... " His voice trailed off as he remembered whose fault this actually was. His cousin had previously let in an unwanted admirer, nearly getting fired in the process . Matt had begged Asher to give her another chance.

Matt and Asher had been college classmates with a solid friendship. After graduation, Matt had studied abroad for a few years before applying to Blackwood Group through proper channels. Now he felt his career flashing before his eyes. Years of loyal service, potentially ruined because of his cousin's mistake. Please don't fire me. Please don't fire me. To his surprise, Asher wasn't angry at all. In fact, he was smiling." CEO's wife," he repeated thoughtfully. "I like that.

|| || || Let's make it official . " Con,' he said, heading toward the elevator . "Let's go get her." Chapter 212 Matt stood frozen for a moment So I'm not getting fired when the realization hit, Matt nearly collapsed with relief before hurrying after his boss. Downstairs, Mina was looking at Thalia with a mixture of awe and mortification. This woman is the CEO's WIFE ?!" I'm so, so sorry," she stammered, fidgeting nervously with her hands. "I had no idea you were Mr.

Blackwood's wife. I thought- " " CEO's wife?" Thalia frowned. "I'm not." || || You don't have to be modest," Mina insisted, desperate to make amends "My cousin toldeverything. Please forgivefor being so clueless!" Thalia's frown deepened "I told you, I'm not his wife ..." Mina assumed Thalia was still upset about her earlier comments regarding Lucia Schulz. Great, I've really done it now . If she wantsfired, even Matt won't be able to savethis time.

Why is my life such a disaster?) 1
