If Victoria hadn"t mentioned it, Aaron would"ve forgotten about the dessert.
He casually told her just to send over desserts to his office, but Victoria actually came. Although he wasn"t the one who liked her dessert, Aaron never accepts something without giving anything in return.
Aaron says, "Lucy, bring Miss Roberts the Luwak coffee from the last auction."
"Yes, Mr. Wilson."
A short time later, the secretary comes up to Victoria with a small fancy box and hands it to her respectfully. "Miss Roberts, here you go."
Victoria looks surprised at the box. "Aaron, it"s too expensive!"
Luwak coffee, also known as Kopi Luwak, comes from Indonesia. It"s extremely expensive because of low production. Authentic Luwak coffee is even more valuable for its scarcity. Ordinary people can"t buy it easily even if they offer high prices.
The box of coffee Aaron is giving her was sold at the auction for several hundred thousand dollars. It"s much more expensive than her dessert.
Aaron smiles. "Miss Roberts, this is a little something for you. Please take it."
He doesn"t like owing people, especially women. As the saying goes, courtesy begets reciprocity. It"s his custom to give something back when given a gift.
Hearing Aaron"s words, Victoria finally accepts the coffee. "Then I"ll take it."
Victoria"s face is radiant, and happiness fills her heart. She"s surprised that Aaron would give her his precious coffee.
Is he giving her this gift because he knows that she likes coffee? It seems that he actually considers her in his heart. Victoria feels elated at the thought.
Although there"s always a nettlesome woman following Aaron around, the cunning woman will certainly seduce Aaron first.
If not for the tramp, Aaron would be hers now!
Victoria"s determination is renewed as she holds the box of valuable coffee tightly in her hands. She"s not going to give up Aaron to another woman no matter what. She has to find a way to help him get rid of the woman. Aaron can only be hers!
Just then, Victoria"s phone begins to ring.
She takes her phone out of her bag and sees her father"s name on the screen.
"Aaron, I"ll go out and take this call." Victoria says and walks out on her high heels.
Her hand holding the phone is decorated with bright red nail polish, making her look like a budding lady.
Outside the company, an upscale car stops at the entrance. Katrina gets off and looks at the towering office building in front of her in awe.
This is the first time that Katrina comes to Aaron"s workplace. As expected, his company is located in an expansive district.
"Give them to me, I"ll go in myself."
Katrina takes the two heavy insulated kegs from Aaron"s heeler and heads inside.
As Katrina walks in, the young receptionist smiles politely and asks, "Miss, who are you looking for?"
Katrina also smiles at her. "Aaron Wilson."
Mr. Wilson?
At the response, surprise flashes on the receptionist"s face.
Does another woman want to see Mr. Wilson?
She heard that the last woman, Miss Roberts, is the daughter"s mayor.
Who is this woman?
Compared to the glamorous and extravagant Victoria, Katrina looks a bit plain.
She"s wearing a simple dress and a pair of canvas shoes. She doesn"t have any makeup on her face, and her sleek black hair is neither formed nor dyed.
Although Katrina"s closet is full of gorgeous and expensive clothes, she always wears the most basic attire when she goes out. It"s simple and comfortable.
Many women are coming to the office every day, vying to get into a relations.h.i.+p with Mr. Wilson. Who is she?
The receptionist lady smiles hesitantly. "Do you have an appointment?"
Katrina freezes.
An appointment?
To surprise Aaron, she didn"t call him before her arrival.
"I"m sorry. Mr. Wilson is very busy. I can"t let you in if you don"t have an appointment." The young receptionist smiles apologetically.
Katrina understands that the receptionist is just doing her job.
After all, as the President of the company, Aaron is busy with his work that no one would expect him to see someone without an appointment.
And the most important job of the receptionist is to filter out unimportant miscellaneous people, so Katrina is also questioned as a matter of course.
Pulling out her cell phone, Katrina presses the speed dial and immediately calls Aaron.
Getting a call from Katrina for the first time, Aaron is surprised. "h.e.l.lo?"
Katrina turns around and whispers, "Aaron, I"m downstairs at your office. Could you please ask your receptionist to let me in?"
"You"re downstairs at the company lobby?"
Hearing Katrina"s words, Aaron straightens up in his seat. He checks the GPS and sees that the red dot is indeed near him, only ten meters away.
"I see."
Aaron immediately picks up the landline and makes an internal call. "Let her in! And have someone bring her to my office!"
The receptionist who gets Aaron"s call nervously nods. "Yes, Mr. Wilson, I"ll take her up."
After hanging up the phone, the front desk lady"s att.i.tude towards Katrina immediately becomes enthusiastic. She looks at Katrina with a warm smile and says, "Miss, please follow me."
Noticing the insulation barrels Katrina is carrying, she graciously takes them. "I"ll carry them for you."
The receptionist can"t be blamed for her sudden change of att.i.tude towards Katrina.
When Mr. Wilson heard that Victoria was coming earlier, he hesitated a bit before letting her in, and his tone was a little cold.
But when Katrina called him, he immediately called the front desk and told her to take Katrina up. Even his tone was quite different.
Of course, the receptionist would feel that Katrina must be someone important, so she doesn"t dare offend her easily.
A few minutes later, Katrina follows the receptionist to the President"s office.
Katrina takes the coolers from the receptionist and thanks to her.
The young girl feels extremely flattered, and hurriedly says, "It"s my duty."
When the receptionist leaves, only Katrina and Aaron are left in the office.
At the sight of Katrina, Aaron"s handsome facial lines unconsciously soften, and his eyes become tender. "What brings you here?"
It must be quite a surprise for Aaron to see Katrina in his office right now.
