Veronica CEO's Underworld Queen novel Chapter 123

　　The receptionist trembled in fear.

　　She knew she was not in the wrong but she also couldn't deny that her incapability to settle this dispute led to this irrevocable situation.

　　She would surely lose this hard- earned job, the receptionist thought pessimistically. But having this thought, for the last time, she will not let this woman impose her arrogance more inside Sy International!

　　It's true that she's a woman of the previous President, Robert Sy. But then it was different. The President now is Rawlf Sy and the receptionist is intelligent and clear-headed enough to know what decision to make at this moment.

　　After all, she won't gain this position, a front-liner in Sy International without showing her competence.

　　Resorting to the last stage of resolving the dispute, she dialed the number for the company's security.

　　Realizing this act from the receptionist, Allia Ming approached near her and slapped the said receptionist!

　　She intends to walk out of here but she also wants to get even to that receptionist first, therefore the slap.

　　The other staff right away surrounded Allia Ming which surprised the woman and from the receptionist's area, some staff also approached the hurt woman in a protective stance while she heard someone shout, "Medical kit!".

　　Allia Ming snorted without regret. 'Just a slap and they acted like she murdered a woman!'

　　"What?! Dare to even touch or hurt me?!"

　　Someone called the security instead and after sometime, there were strong, uniformed men who rushed to the lobby.

　　Without a word, they moved to hold Allia Ming, however the woman screamed like a mad woman!

　　"Don't touch me you pieces of shit! Dare touch me with those filthy lowly hands of yours and you'll see!"

　　However the security didn't bother listening and overpowered the mad madam out of the building.

　　Ric who has just entered Sy International saw this scene and was surprised. His eyes looked at the receptionist area and saw the woman he knew well being surrounded by her colleagues.

　　Her left cheek was already covered by an adhesive gauze band. His face darkened and strode to the receptionist area.

　　"What happened here?!" He asked in a gloomy voice, his eyes not leaving the receptionist.

　　The receptionist hearing his voice only bowed her head, not daring to look at the man she knew very well.

　　"The rest of the staff who saw him bowed their heads towards Ric and explained, "Sir Ric, the Ming madam insisted on entering the President office. Miss Chen stops her because she has not reserved an appointment. The Ming Madam then just slapped Miss Chen without valid reason. The slap was so strong and maybe from the Madam's ring, there was a cut and scrape on Miss Chen's face!"

　　The same staff who called the security earlier explained in defense of Kara Chen in front of their President's younger brother. This handsome man was said to be currently working in the executive department as per request of the President so the staff are very respectful of him.

　　'Cut and scrape on her face!' Ric thought, restraining his anger.

　　"Let her rest for a day. I'll handle this matter." He took another glance at the Kara Chen and strode to follow outside. When he was six meters away he heard a mick voice saying, "Thank You… Sir Ric."

　　Ric didn't turn around or even stopped. He just nodded his head. Kara Chen just bowed her head back, trying to hide the hurt in her eyes. 'Ricardo.'

　　Ric only saw the figure of his older half-brother's mother entering the car. He no longer bothered to stop the said woman and dialed his eldest brother's number.

　　The phone was answered however he heard someone talking behind his back.

　　"You, aren't you Ricardo? What are you doing here?!" Ric heard Allia Ming's voice but he didn't turn around and instead started to walk.

　　"Let me hear what that woman has to say first. Don't drop the call." Ric heard what Rawlf said over the phone.

　　His face is unreadable and just instead turns around and looks at the woman in front.

　　Ric could still remember how Allia Ming bullied his mother every time she would meet her anywhere before!

　　Even the Sy Madam who was the legal wife was civil and would be kind to him and his mother and yet, this woman who was another mistress of his father would be arrogant to him and his mother.

　　"Tell that woman that you work in Sy International." Ric frowned at Rawlf's words.

　　What does his older brother want to achieve by letting this crazy, arrogant woman learn that he gave him a position in Sy International?!

　　Ric's mouth twitched but decided to obey Rawlf. "I work here."

　　"What??!!! How are you working here???!! You…you…you're just a son from an outsider!? How can you work here?! Ha! You and your mother probably bootlick and kiss that ass of that bitch Vanessa!" Allia Ming said in a shrieking and crude voice.

　　"Don't mind her. We will deal with that woman later. Now ignore her. I'll call you later." Ric once again heard Rawlf say this from the other line and drop the call. What does this older brother of his seriously want to achieve?

　　First he instructed him to let him hear what the woman had to say first, then to tell her that he works in Sy International and now after hearing the woman curses both their mothers, he just told him to ignore her?

　　Seriously?!

　　Ric put back the phone in his pocket and just took a glance at the loud woman cursing shamelessly before he indeed turned around to ignore and leave her embarrassing herself.

　　'You are surely gonna be a cheap paparazzi paper's headliner tomorrow.' Ric mocks silently.

　　Allia Ming seeing the man just ignored her was about to chase him but she felt both her hands were contained from the security guards who once again appeared beside him.

　　"You!" Allia Ming screamed.

　　"We advised that you leave Sy International's ground now or you want us to rather deliver you at the police station for your family to fetch." One security guard, probably the chief, told her sternly.

　　Allia Ming looked at him with a sharp look trying to intimidate him, however, she didn't expect that the said security guard rather just stared at her.

　　Warning in his eyes.

　　"Let go of me!" The security guards then let her go and Allia Ming pointed to their faces. "You'll see!" She threatened them and walked once again to her car.

　　After Allia Ming left, one of the security guards turned to their chief. "Such an arrogant woman! Isn't she from a wealthy family?"

　　The chief of the security guard looked at his subordinate and said, "One's social status does not define a person's character. People from the top conceptualized that breeding is only for those who are rich enough to learn etiquette that they often forget that being kind to their fellow human irrespective of social background is the universally accepted principle of having good manners and proper conduct."

　　The chief security guard then walked away leaving his subordinates' mouth-agape.
