Comeback Of The Adored Heiress
Chapter 221

Chapter 221:

The secretary at the front desk greeted Madisyn.

Madisyn nodded in response.

“Have you made an appointment?”

“No, just let him know that Madisyn is here to see him,” Madisyn instructed.

“Okay.” Just as the secretary was about to relay the message, a scornful voice chimed in. “Really, do you think you’re someone important?”

Madisyn turned around to replace a familiar face—it was indeed a small world. Unexpectedly, she encountered Tatiana there. Tatiana and her assistant were seated, apparently waiting.

Tatiana’s assistant was taken aback to see Madisyn here. She remembered Madisyn’s presumptuous behavior on the plane and was displeased. She also knew that Tatiana didn’t like Madisyn either.

Taking the opportunity, she sneered and said to the secretary, “Mr. Cooper is extremely busy. You should really remove this woman quickly before she causes a scene and drags you into trouble.”

The secretary hesitated, assessing Madisyn. While Madisyn was undoubtedly attractive, she wasn’t dressed in luxury brands, which made the secretary suspicious of her intentions.

The secretary’s demeanor turned stern. “Miss, if you don’t have an appointment, you’ll need to leave.”

“I’ve informed Mr. Cooper of my visit. He’s expecting me,” Madisyn said.

“You’re so funny. How could you lie like that?” Tatiana’s assistant scoffed loudly. “Who do you think you are? Who is Mr. Cooper to you? Can just anyone meet with him? Are you here to seduce him?”

Her words only solidified the secretary’s suspicion that there was something amiss with Madisyn. Indeed, not just anyone had the right to see Jared.

“I’m sorry, miss, but you’ll need to leave now, or we will have to escort you out,” the secretary said firmly.

“I’m going to wait for Mr. Cooper. You can check with him when he gets out of his meeting,” Madisyn replied, unfazed, knowing the secretary was merely doing her job.

To Madisyn’s surprise, the secretary sized her up and scoffed, “Ah, you’re quite attractive. Trying to use your looks to charm Mr. Cooper, are you? Unfortunately, he isn’t so easily swayed. You should leave now.”

Madisyn didn’t expect the secretary would say so. A secretary’s behavior could reflect on the company’s image. It appeared Jared was too preoccupied to properly supervise his staff.

Since she was already here, Madisyn thought she might as well address this issue.

“Fine, I’ll leave. But you might replace yourself having to invite me back soon,” Madisyn retorted, arching an eyebrow.

The secretary scoffed at the idea. “Really? You think you deserve that?” She was, after all, Mr. Cooper’s secretary!

With a knowing glance, Madisyn warned, “Just remember what you said.” She then turned and left.

Tatiana’s assistant sneered again, “See, she left, tail between her legs.”

Seeing Madisyn go, Tatiana allowed herself a satisfied smile.

They resumed their wait for Jared.

Five minutes later, the elevator doors opened, and Jared stepped out, dressed sharply in a suit.

The secretary was caught off guard. “Mr. Cooper, is your meeting over already? Wasn’t it supposed to end half an hour later?”

Ignoring her question, Jared scanned the area anxiously, as if searching for someone.

Tatiana’s assistant nudged Tatiana excitedly. “Mr. Cooper, are you looking for us?”

The secretary thought so too and quickly chimed in, “Mr. Cooper, Miss Fernandez and her assistant are here.”

Tatiana’s heart skipped a beat when Jared looked in their direction. She knew Jared was young, but seeing his striking appearance in person was something else entirely.

“Actually, I’m looking for someone else,” Jared replied, his tone firm.

The atmosphere shifted instantly, and the room felt charged with tension.

Tatiana’s smile faded. “You mean…?”

“Madisyn.” Jared’s voice was unyielding as he added, “She was just here.”

The secretary’s eyes widened, realizing her mistake. “I didn’t know—”

Jared interrupted her, “Where is she now?”

“She left,” the secretary admitted, feeling the weight of his disappointment.

Tatiana couldn’t help but feel a twinge of satisfaction. “See? Just a nobody.”

Jared, however, wasn’t interested in Tatiana’s comments. He glanced at her coldly before turning back to the secretary. “I want you to contact Madisyn right now. She needs to be back in this office.”

The urgency in his tone left no room for objections.

Tatiana shifted uncomfortably, realizing she might have underestimated Madisyn’s significance in Jared’s eyes.

“Yes, Mr. Cooper,” the secretary replied, hastily reaching for the phone.

As she dialed, the tension in the air thickened, and Tatiana felt increasingly anxious about what the outcome might be.
