Chapter 104: Chapter 104

After Paige finished eating, Julian took her to the lab.

Meanwhile, Skylar was in the lobby of the Hawthorne Group.

However, because she didn’t have an appointment, she was naturally stopped.

But Skylar didn’t give up, "I’ve been to the Hawthorne Group many times and have had several business collaborations with President Hawthorne. If you don’t believe me, go ask Secretary Jones, and President Sterling on the 17th floor and I have a special relationship. Don’t you think it’s funny to stop me ?"

"Sorry, but you don’t have an appointment. We really can’t let you up, please understand our work."

The receptionist politely suggested, "Or you could call President Hawthorne or President Sterling’s private number and have them transfer you to the front desk."

Skylar didn’t know Julian’s private number at all.

Ha, I guess Paige would just embarrass her.

She just has a rich dad backing her, and now Paige has transformed into an industry elite and really considers herself someone important?

"Haven’t you heard President Sterling mention me?"

Receptionist, "We rarely see President Sterling."

Paige hardly comes here, and even if she does, she’s in the office. Of course, the receptionists have a hard time seeing Paige.

Skylar felt the receptionist’s gaze become increasingly strange and felt extremely awkward.

If she was turned away today, she’d be despised by the receptionists if she ever came back.

She bit her lip and pulled out her phone to call Paige.

Paige answered the call, but her tone was indifferent, "What is it?"

Skylar forced a smile and said in a tone as if she were very familiar with Paige, "It’s , I just happen to have some free time today, so I thought of visiting your company. After all, I worked at VastReach for a long time and have experience in various areas..."

From Skylar’s tone, could it be that she wants to join Penson?

Paige’s tone was indifferent, "There’s nothing you need to see."

This tone was really quite rude. Skylar chuckled helplessly, "Paige, no matter what, we’re family. I still hope I can help you."

Paige was blunt, "With your mediocre talent, are you planning to clean toilets at Penson?"

Skylar’s face turned green, "Paige, how can you say that? I’m just..."

"Enough," Paige interrupted her, "Don’t pretend with me, I don’t have time for that."

And then she hung up on Skylar.

She turned to look at the receptionist, who still wore a polite smile, but Skylar felt that smile seemed to be mocking her.

She gritted her teeth, thinking that she had wanted to get along well with Paige in the future and help her at Penson. With her talent, she could certainly take Paige to another new height. Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹·𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲·𝗻𝗲𝘁

Who would have known Paige wouldn’t appreciate a good heart?

A woman like that, without Jared protecting her, what kind of climate can she form in the future?

But just as Skylar was about to leave, Miles showed up.

As a shareholder of the company, Miles naturally didn’t need an appointment or permission to go upstairs.

Seeing Skylar, he paused, "Why are you here?"

Skylar chuckled helplessly, "I came to find Paige. The receptionists here don’t know me, so they didn’t let me up."

Miles didn’t think much of it and at that moment, he felt like showing Skylar around, and said, "Alright, come with me."

The receptionist naturally couldn’t block him any longer.

So Skylar went up to the 17th floor with Miles.

Even though Paige was still the biggest shareholder of the company with the decision-making power in her hands, it didn’t stop Miles from loving Penson.

So Miles almost visited Penson more often than Paige herself, and he even had an office there.

Dad Morgan was so pleased to see him being so serious and not causing trouble outside that he nearly worshipped Paige.

After showing Skylar around the company, Miles proudly asked, "So, does it open your eyes?"

Skylar’s mouth twitched, wasn’t this just an ordinary modern office?

"Didn’t you say the 18th floor is the lab? Can I go take a look?"

Miles, "No way, I can’t just take anyone to the lab."

Skylar deliberately said with a puzzled face, "I thought you had considerable weight in the company, but didn’t expect..."

"Who said I don’t have weight? I’m a senior figure in the company, of course, I have weight, but Paige has rules. I can go in, but I can’t take outsiders in."

Skylar, "I’m not an outsider, am I? Paige and I are sisters."

Miles rolled his eyes, "You’re not even blood-related, and your relationship isn’t good."

When she thought Miles was just a wastrel second-generation heir, he always inconceivably saw through people.

Skylar was persistent, "I’m just curious, can’t I go up for a look? I don’t understand anything, I won’t leak any secrets."

"You sure know yourself well, knowing you don’t understand anything."

Miles, "Since you’re so eager to go, I can take you to the entrance, follow me."

The two of them took the elevator up to the 18th floor. If the 17th floor was just ordinary office space, the 18th floor was really different.

The entire 18th floor was quiet, and the decor was very high-tech and modern.

Skylar looked around and found that besides the two guards at the entrance, there was no one inside.

Since it’s a confidential lab, how could there only be two guards?

Skylar asked her doubt, "Why are there only two guards?"

Miles, "Actually, these two guards are just for show. Our company’s lab doesn’t need any security at all."

"Because Paige is awesome, she designed a one-of-a-kind security system, anyone who tries to break in is courting death."

Miles said with pride, "Did you watch the news? Not long ago, so many world-class top hackers attacked Penson’s internal system. What was the result?"

"You mean, the company’s security system and anti-hacking system were all done by Paige?"

Skylar subtly showed a mocking smile.

Doesn’t she know what abilities Paige has?

College for four years was just biding time, what does she know about black technology or security systems?

It’s just that Jared found an amazing ghostwriter, and with Jared boosting her profile, she has achieved what she has today.

She can only fool someone like Miles, who’s a second-generation heir.

Skylar suddenly looked forward to the day Paige’s high and mighty image crashes down hard when her facade collapses.

Thinking of this, Skylar laughed.

Miles didn’t know what she was laughing about, thinking she really wasn’t the sharpest tool in the shed.

How could she have the nerve to say she’s sisters with Paige when she’s so dumb?

Just then, Skylar suddenly reached out to press the electronic screen on the wall that was flashing.

"Don’t randomly press that!"
