Madeline raced to the GM Tech headquarters as fast as she could , determined to see her brother right away .
When she reached the lobby , the receptionist stopped her at the front desk .
“ Hello , may I ask who you’re here to see ? ” the receptionist asked , eyeing Madeline carefully .
Madeline took a breath . “ I’m here to see Shaun . ”
The receptionist gave Madeline a quick once – over . Lately , so many women had been coming to see their CEO .
“ Do you have an appointment ? ”
Madeline shook her head . “ No , but could you please let him know I’m here ? My name is Madeline , and Shaun is my brother . ”
“ What ? You’re Mr. Lane’s sister ? ” The receptionist’s eyes widened in surprise .
“ Yes , I am . He’ll want to see me . Please , just go and tell him now . It’s urgent . ”
The receptionist smirked . “ What’s up with people today ? Just a little while ago , some woman claimed to be Mr. Lane’s close friend , and now you show up saying you’re his sister . Should I start saying I’m Mrs. Lane next ? ”
Madeline’s voice faltered . “ But I’m not lying . Shaun really is my brother . Everything I’m saying is true . ”
The receptionist waved her off impatiently . “ Look , no appointment means no meeting . You need to leave now . ”
Madeline bristled . “ Hey- ”
Before she could say more , Chelsea stepped forward . “ What’s going on here ? ”
The receptionist’s attitude instantly flipped to eager and flattering “ Ms. Sutton , why are you down here ? ‘
“ Shaun’s still in a meeting , and I didn’t want to disturb him , so I came out for a walk , ” Chelsea said casually . “ What’s happening ? ”
The receptionist pointed at Madeline . “ Another woman wants to see Mr. Lane . ‘
Chelsea looked at Madeline with a sharp , assessing gaze . She didn’t know who this woman was , but every woman who came looking for Shaun triggered her suspicion and wariness . Even though Shaun hadn’t had anyone by his side these past three years , there was never a shortage of women throwing themselves at him .
“ You’re here to see Shaun ? ” Chelsea asked , voice cool .
Chelsea’s stare made Madeline uneasy . She returned the look . “ Who are you ? What’s your relationship with Shaun ? ” Chelsea smiled , but it wasn’t warm . “ I think I should be asking you that . What’s your connection to Shaun ? Why are you here ? ” Madeline squared her shoulders . “ I’m here because I need to talk to him . If he knew I was here , he’d drop everything and come to me . ”
Chelsea smirked . “ You’re pretty confident . Ms. Halsey
was
here not long ago , and she didn’t seem nearly as sure of herself . ”
Madeline frowned . So Halsey had met this woman , too ? Why had this woman been around Shaun all these years ?
Madeline didn’t like Chelsea one bit .
“ I’m not interested in talking to you . I want to see Shaun , ” Madeline said firmly .
The receptionist quickly interjected , “ Who do you think you are , taking to Ms. Sutton like that ? You’ve got some nerve ! ”
Madeline’s eyes narrowed . “ Actually , I’d like to know who Ms. Sution is and why I can’t speak to her like this . Isn’t this Shaun’s company ? ”

The receptionist smiled knowingly . “ Mr. Lane is our boss , and Ms. Sutton here is second in command . ”

Madeline’s heart skipped .
She looked at Chelsea sharply . “ What’s your relationship with Shaun ? ”
Chelsea’s smile turned triumphant .
“ I’m very close to Shaun . Closer than any of you women could ever be . In the past three years , plenty of women have tried to win him over , but as long as I’m around , none of you stand a chance ! So do yourself a favor and leave before you embarrass yourself . ”
