Despises Him

CROW TECHNOLOGY

"Good morning, Miss Violet!"

Five employees wearing office black suits and pants greeted Violet at the company entrance. 

Despite the five employees welcoming her warmly, Violet contorted only a slight smile on her lips to keep her professional mannerism. "Good morning."

The five employees, who are all executives in the company, sensed a not-so-friendly tone from her. Being well-trained and experienced in accommodating clients changed nothing about how they smiled delightedly at her.

"Miss Shang, welcome to Crow Tech. I am Manager Xia."

One came forward immediately and extended her arm for a handshake.

Manager Xia is lovely and possesses a good temperament. After studying the woman briefly, Violet accepted her hand for a handshake.

Clasping their hands, suddenly, Violet remembered the time Allen kissed her. Upon recalling that incident, it triggered her malicious mind that Allen actually liked this kind of beauty and probably he had already bedded her, as the rumor says he is seeing someone now.

"Miss Shang, I will escort you to the Lounge Area. Please, follow me this way."

Violet's train of thoughts was interrupted when Manager Xia spoke again. She quickly nodded and followed the woman in hurried but steady steps.

The manager brought her to the executive elevator, and the employees in the reception area could not avert their eyes from staring at her.

"Is she the daughter of President Shang?" asked one of the three receptionists assigned to the Front Desk.

"I guess so… She resembles the third Madame Shang a lot, and her eyes unmistakably are the same as President Theo Shang."

"You are right. But it was rare for her to appear at any gatherings. Do you know why?" another chimed in.

The other two receptionists shrugged, replying, "I don't know."

"I always check all the social media platforms to follow every rich family in our country, but I never noticed she had any social media accounts."

"You are right! Unlike every rich girl and wanna-be's rich daughter in the city who had several accounts to post. But I never noticed if Miss Violet Shang even had one!"

"I seconded. I want to stalk this mysterious Shang princess. But I found nothing on the internet. I don't have any idea why?"

"Yeah. We don't know either…."

The three receptionists immediately shut up when Manager Xia shoots warning glares at them. They lowered their heads at once and pretended to be occupied with work.

The three women did not notice that they were loud enough, and Violet could hear them. Regardless, she never cares if she overhears gossip like this one because she does not have any scandalous scenes when she appears in the world.

'Wait...' Suddenly, she recounted her encounter with Allen during his and Angela's birthday party. That was, in fact, a scandalous scene!

Violet immediately shook her head and buried her ugly memories with Allen.

In upper society, she was labeled arrogant and snobbish because she always rejected every gathering invitation when socialite daughters threw a party to flaunt minor achievements or show off their status. 

Thus, the upper society loves talking behind her back because she doesn't get involved much in their circle. They would comment that she was wealthier than anyone else, the reason she was too proud and cold toward them.

Perhaps arrange a marriage one day. Many prominent families would book at the White House Garden Restaurant to get close to her and curry a favor. But they end up disappointed.

Violet did not accept any request to meet her or join them for a meal. She would only send her cousin Leticia to accommodate the super VIP guests on her behalf.

And true, she had no social media account except for the Solace platform, an app launched by Seth and Hendrik because she thinks it's only a hassle in her busy life to look at someone's posts. She has no spare time for other things.

Thus, Violet ignored the receptionists' gossip and patiently waited for the elevator to reach the ground floor.

When it arrived, Manager Xia gestured her hand for Violet to enter the box first.

Violet stepped inside, stood to the side, and watched the scenery before her as the elevator ascended at enough speed: neither fast nor slow.

Crow Tech was erected at the heart of Mainland City. The building is where it controls the city's shield, so it stands mighty tall.

"This way, Miss Shang."

Arriving at the 110th floor, Manager Xia walked straight to the lounge area exclusively for their SVIP clients like Violet.

Last night, at almost midnight, Assistant Laney called them to go to the company early in the morning for an emergency meeting.

He briefs them that a super significant guest would visit Crow Tech, so everyone must treat her nicely and avoid upsetting her. Otherwise, they will lose their jobs.

Thus, they were surprised that the SVIP client who emerged from the black SUV was the Shang princess. Although it's rare for her to show up to the world, her four younger brothers are famous and well known in the country.

"Please have a seat, Miss Shang. Someone will attend to you in a sec ...."

"Thank you."

Manager Xia did not stay longer and exited the lounge area fast.

Violet sat down on the couch. Manager Xia offered her. She crossed her legs and seated leisurely while observing the entire hall.

The hall is spacious. Its interior design was minimalist but pleasing to her eyes, proving that the boss of this company was a man with whom he had carefully picked the furniture and room decorations.

She studied a short course regarding it, so she always observed the interior design of every building she visited.

"Good morning, Miss Shang!" 

Violet turned her head at the door when the sliding glass hovered and opened. Two beautiful women who looked younger than Manager Xia came in and greeted her gleefully.

She noticed they were carrying trays in their hands. One was a tray with a porcelain teapot and teacup, while the other woman brought various snacks on the platter.

Seeing those sweet desserts, Violet raised a brow and mumbled inwardly, 'Are they planning to fatten me?'

After the two employees put down the trays, they straightened their backs and smiled brightly.

One said, "If you need anything, please let us know, Miss Shang."

Violet nodded with satisfaction. "I'm good. Thank you."

The two female employees, she guessed as secretaries, remained standing in front of her. She examined their outfit and believed there was so much lack of clothes on their bodies.

It's not that she has any right to criticize their clothes choices. However, the two secretaries are working in a tech company. They were not in a modeling agency.

'Is this how he preferred for his secretaries to wear?' Violet pursed her lips bitterly.

Why would she even care in the first place? These secretaries were a display to please Allen's eyes.

With this thought, Violet even despises him for being a player. 

Irritated, Violet dismissed them coldly. "The two of you can leave now."
