Villains Act Shamelessly: The Heiress was the Great National Master!-Chapter 215: Go Find Him

Thinking about how Landon Ford would still have to cook for her this afternoon.

Though the morning was busy enough, Thea Shaw couldn’t help her curiosity about what Landon Ford, this imposing CEO, was like during office hours.

She could only blame herself for her lack of experience; she hadn’t even seen ancient palaces, let alone the working life of modern elite professionals.

She wanted to see the legendary CEO at work to gain some insights.

Thea Shaw made a call to Landon Ford, subtly expressing her wish to have a meal with him and see how he worked.

As soon as Landon Ford heard that Thea Shaw wanted to visit him, he was naturally delighted, "Sure, give me your address, and I’ll send someone to pick you up."

Thea Shaw provided her current address, and Landon Ford dispatched his private driver to pick her up.

After hanging up, there were still a few people in the office, the chief secretary, and department heads.

Upon hearing that Landon Ford was sending someone to pick someone up, the people in the office were startled.

It was rare for him to speak to someone so pleasantly, and everyone was guessing the identity of the other person.

Landon Ford said to the people in front of him, "Phillip Lane, rearrange the schedule, move the two afternoon meetings earlier, and have them finished before 4 PM."

This was so that when Thea Shaw arrived, he could leave the company together with her.

Phillip Lane was Landon Ford’s chief secretary, a young and smart guy with exceptional personal abilities. Recruited by Ford Group directly from his college, he used his remarkable skills to become the chief secretary beside Landon Ford within a decade—an impressive feat.

Phillip Lane nodded, "Okay."

He and the department managers left, with the managers gossiping, "Recently, Little Young Master Ford has rescheduled meetings several times, which never happened before. Is it because he has someone by his side now?"

Within the company, Warren Ford is the official general manager, and Landon Ford is the deputy general manager. For distinction, everyone calls Warren Ford "President Ford," while Landon is privately referred to as "Little Young Master Ford."

However, Landon Ford wasn’t fond of this nickname, and officially, he is addressed as "Young Master Ford."

Someone tried to cozy up to Phillip Lane, "Secretary Lane, does Little Young Master Ford have someone now?"

Everyone here was an established part of the company, so they spoke more directly.

Phillip Lane replied with a sly smile, "Young Master doesn’t like us probing into his personal matters."

Landon Ford was a person who clearly separated work from personal life and didn’t let the company personnel pry into his privacy.

The others, seeing his response, felt awkward and refrained from asking further. With big companies, there were plenty of tasks, and they didn’t have much time for gossip, so they went on their ways to handle their own work.

When Thea Shaw arrived at the Ford Group headquarters, she marveled at how impressive it was.

The location of Ford Group in Aethelgard was especially famous, with three skyscrapers forming a golden triangle. The tallest one loomed over the city’s skyline. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

One might feel like being on top of the world after working there for a while.

Thea Shaw was picked up by his driver and didn’t enter through the main entrance of the company. She went through the exclusive passage Landon Ford used for work, from the underground parking lot to the top floor of the skyscraper, encountering no outsiders along the way. Thea Shaw thought then, it was a bit lonely; even dramatic scenes from TV shows seemed unattainable.

Thea Shaw arrived at Landon Ford’s office where Phillip Lane was standing to greet her.
