Chapter 61 Denied Access

I entered the factory gates only to be stopped by a stern security guard. I told him I

wanted to meet with

Fred.

The security guard scrutinized me and said, “Mr. Fred isn’t here. He’s currently on a

business trip.

“Could you tell me where he went?” I asked anxiously because my time in the city was

limited.

“I wouldn’t know,” he said with a sour attitude.

“Could you at least give me his phone number? I’ve come from out of town and just need

to call him.”

After what happened four years ago, I didn’t keep Fred’s contact information.

“I don’t have it,” he replied curtly. “What do you want with him?”

“I’m here to discuss a business partnership!”

“You can talk to the marketing department for that. Do you really need to meet the boss?

We get many

people like you who just waste our time. Just get out of here!”

It was unbelievable that such a large factory would hire someone so rude. The rain was

getting heavier,

and I started shivering.

Suddenly, I noticed phone numbers for different departments on the security guard’s

desk. Swallowing

my pride, I asked, “Please, I’ve come a long way. Could you at least give me some hot

water? I’ll leave

right after.”

“Enough with your tricks. I don’t have any hot water for you. Get going,” he said, pushing

me outside. I

almost stumbled, and he slammed the gate behind me.

My umbrella was too small for the heavy rain. Although I was soaked halfway through, my

heart felt

colder

I looked around. The cab that brought me had already left, and I would have to walk a long

way to catch

another one back. My only option was to stand against the wall.

I didn’t want to go home like this, but Matthew would suspect something if I spent too

much time in the

city. I needed to keep him from discovering my move.

Although I was soaked to the bone, I kept hoping someone from the factory would emerge.

Just getting

Fred’s phone number would be worth it.

Finally, a car drove out, and I quickly flagged it down. A middle–aged men rolled down the

window and

“What can I do for you?” he asked.

“I came to talk to Mr. Fred. Could you tell me how to find him?” I quickly added, “Or even

the Marketing

Manager!”

He glanced at me and said, “Get in!”

I thanked him profusely and quickly got in the car. “Thank you so much!”

As the car drove off, I couldn’t stop trembling. He said, “Don’t thank me yet. I’m just

giving you a ride to a

place where you can catch a cab. Mr. Fred isn’t here. You’re wasting your time.”

“I came from out of town to discuss a project with him. I have a full proposal, and I’m on a

tight schedule.

Could you give me his phone number? Or could you pass on the message? Tell him that

Chloe Hartz from

Foswood is looking for him!”

He glanced at me as he considered my words. “In that case, you can stay at the

guesthouse. I’ll let Mr.

Fred know.”

Though I was disappointed, it was better than not having hope. I jotted down my phone

number, just in

case.

“Just tell him that my name is Chloe Hartz. He’ll definitely come and meet me. Sir, thank

you for helping

me! Could I have your name?” I asked politely,

He hesitated before saying. “I’m… the other Mr. Meyers!”

I picked up a pamphlet from the car when we arrived at the guesthouse. “I’ll take this with

me. Thank you!”

With that, I quickly got out of the car. I was worried he might stop me because the

pamphlet contained

the factory’s phone number. It was my backup plan in case this man wouldn’t pass the

message.

Looking at the car driving away, I could only pray that he helped me. I must meet Fred

Meyers!
