Carrying a lunchbox, Kelly looked around as she stepped into the company. The Lockhart Group is truly

massive …

“Hello, who are you looking for?” a receptionist approached and asked.

“I’m looking for Ze… Zion,” Kelly said softly.

“Zi…?” The receptionist checked the computer. “We don’t have any employee by that name in our records.”

It was Zion’s first day at work, and he hadn’t completed the onboarding process yet, so the receptionist wouldn’t be able to find him in the system.

However, during this morning’s meeting, especially among the HR department staff, everyone had been made aware of who Zion was. Clearly, this receptionist was deliberately making things difficult for Kelly.

“Oh, really?” Kelly fell silent for a moment before speaking again. “He’s the grandson of your chairman, Mr. Wade. Today is his first day back at the company–you must have seen him, right?”

The receptionist hesitated for a moment before responding expressionlessly, “Sorry, but during work hours, unauthorized visitors are not allowed inside. That’s company policy.”

Kelly immediately understood–whether at the reception desk, in security, or in other positions within the company, it was likely that Clarissa’s people had already infiltrated every level.

Clarissa was smart. In the two years that Zev had been absent, she must have worked tirelessly to replace key personnel within the Lockhart Group to solidify her control over the company.

“Miss, I’m sorry, but since the person you’re looking for isn’t here, please leave.” The receptionist spoke curtly, making it clear that Kelly was not welcome.

That morning, Clarissa had given strict instructions–if anyone came looking for Zev, especially a woman, they were not to be allowed inside the company under any circumstances.

Clarissa was indeed clever. She had anticipated that Zev might have Kelly come over, intending to publicly announce his marriage in front of the entire company and put her in an embarrassing position.

After the unexpected incident at the hospital banquet, Clarissa would never allow a second mishap.

She absolutely wouldn’t let Zev embarrass her within the Lockhart Group.

“Please leave.” Seeing that Kelly had no intention of leaving, the receptionist, now impatient, directly ordered security, “Escort this lady out. She is violating company policy.”

“Apologies, but this lady is my guest.” Before security could approach, a man’s voice rang out.

Kelly looked over–she recognized him. He seemed to be an assistant to Ken.

The receptionist hesitated, adjusting his glasses. “Apologies, Steven. You invited her…”

“She’s here to meet Mr. Morris. Is there a problem?” Steven’s expression darkened slightly.

Steven gave Kelly a polite smile and gestured with his hand. “Apologies, they didn’t recognize you.”

Kelly remained silent.

Steven motioned for her to proceed.

“Did Ken send you to help me out?” Kelly asked curiously.

Steven merely smiled. “Mr. Morris guessed that the reception might give you trouble, considering the HR department’s general manager has a rather special relationship with Clarissa.”

His words were clearly meant for Kelly to hear, and she understood the message.

Although she was a medical student unfamiliar with corporate culture and business management, her time in the hospital had taught her plenty about human nature and social dynamics.

Steven implied that because the HR manager was one of Clarissa’s people, she had likely spent the past two years replacing key personnel in the company with her own trusted individuals.

Kelly suddenly realized why Zev had called her to the company today–he wanted to put Clarissa in her place.

But what truly puzzled her was Ken’s involvement.

If the person backing the Lockharts was really Ken, wouldn’t openly undermining Clarissa cause conflict between them?

Kelly clearly didn’t believe that Ken was the one providing backstage support for the Lockharts.

He might be a man with many secrets and questionable motives, but he certainly wasn’t aligned with the Lockharts.

At least, for now, it didn’t seem like he was.

At the HR department.

The HR manager stood there nervously, shifting uncomfortably under Zev’s gaze.

His refusal to cooperate, his outright rejection of Clarissa’s attempt to show him around–these were clear signals to everyone.

The company was already abuzz with speculation.

Even the slightest disturbance could spread like wildfire in the

company chat
