Chapter 1745 Maya And Janice
Damien shot him a curious look. “You’re pretty down-to-earth, aren’t you?”
“I guess I just know very clearly on where I stand.”
Damien said nothing more, for he suddenly understood why Draven was the one most valued by Evan, even surpassing the Hidden Masters. There was indeed something else to him besides being a skilled fighter.
As the heavy rain continued to pour, Nicole kept a close tab on Jeremy, ready to administer another round of acupuncture treatment if the need arose.
Draven looked out the window broodily, anxious for the sky to clear so that he could set about finding the antidote for Jeremy.
Meanwhile, Maya was on the move. Since she had made up her mind to get to the bottom of things regarding Wilbur, she was going to see him and hear what he had to say about his upcoming engagement with Janice and if he knew that her unborn child was not his.
She had an inkling that he would offer no new explanation and hide the truth. Regardless, she was determined to confront him.
Upon reaching Simpson Group, Maya took a deep breath, mentally preparing herself before walking into the building.
The receptionist saw her and smiled in greeting. “Good afternoon, Ms. Maya. You must be looking for Mr. Simpson, am I right?”
Surprised, Maya nodded. “How do you know my name?” she asked curiously.
“Sure I do. You’re Mr. Simpson’s girlfriend, after all.”
The receptionist was the same person who saw Nina when the latter came in the last time, pretending to be Maya and proclaiming to be Wilbur’s girlfriend. Wilbur had personally asked his assistant to come down to fetch “Maya.”
Unable to tell the difference since Nina and Maya looked identical, the receptionist assumed the girl who came in the other day and the one standing before her right then were one and the same.
Maya, on the other hand, was bewildered that the receptionist would think that she was Wilbur’s girlfriend, especially when he was going to marry Janice.
Even so, she did not bother to explain her relationship with Wilbur to the receptionist since she was just here to see him.
“Which floor is Wilbur at?”
“The twenty-second floor, Ms. Maya.”
“Thanks,” Maya said with a smile and headed for the elevator.
Shortly after she left, Janice walked into the lobby.
The receptionist was taken aback by her arrival. What a coincidence. Mr. Simpson’s girlfriend is here, and his self-proclaimed fiancée also shows up. Is this woman stalking Ms. Maya?
Regardless, she greeted Janice out of professionalism. “Good afternoon. How may I help you?”
“I’m here to see your boss, Wilbur Simpson!” Janice replied.
“Do you have an appointment?”
“I’m here to discuss the details about our engagement matters. I don’t need an appointment.”
The receptionist hesitated. Engagement? I remember seeing the news that Mr. Simpson is about to get engaged… But the news never mentioned any names. He could very well be engaged to Ms. Maya. The last time this woman showed up here, she claimed to be Mr. Simpson’s fiancée and that she was bearing his child. Yet, she left his office in no time. Whoever this “fiancée” is, she’s not as important as Mr. Simpson’s girlfriend.
Having the impression that Janice was two-faced, the receptionist was more fond of Maya.
“I’m sorry, but Mr. Simpson’s fiancée was already here. You’ll need an appointment to see him,” she said.
Janice turned and glared daggers at her. “I’m his fiancée!”
With that, she walked past the counter and headed straight to the elevator.
As if the receptionist had expected that to happen, she called for security when Wilbur’s assistant, who happened to pass by, saw Janice and stopped the guards.
“Don’t,” Jeff Tierney said, shaking his head. “Just let her pass.”
The receptionist looked at him in surprise. “But Mr. Tierney, she’s an impostor pretending to be Mr. Simpson’s fiancée.”
“How do you know she’s an impostor?” He turned to face her.
She’s staying with the Simpsons and carrying Mr. Simpson’s child. Mr. Simpson’s parents also seemed to have agreed to their marriage.
“Mr. Simpson’s girlfriend is upstairs now, so she has to be an impostor! She did that the last time, too,” the receptionist explained.
Mr. Simpson’s girlfriend?
“Do you mean Maya?” Jeff asked.
“Yeah, she just went upstairs.”
Jeff grimaced. Sh*t. Why is it that Maya and Janice are constantly coming across each other? What kind of a farce would break out now?
