Her Icy 188
Chapter 188 They Go to Find Him.
As the chairman of the company, Edwin understood that all businesses had rules.
Finishednoveldrama
He was used to people needing appointments before seeing him, so it made perfect sense that a big-name company like the Sherwood Group would have strict procedures.
Keeping a friendly expression, Edwin replied, "We don't have an appointment, but we're his relatives. Could you please tell Mr. Sherwood we're here about something urgent?"
Relatives?
The receptionist gave them another look. Their outfits didn't match the image of someone close to the CEO.
She recalled a recent incident where a pair of people also claimed to be relatives. Turned out, they were drowning in debt and came hoping for financial help.
She began to suspect those two might be pulling the same stunt.
Still unsure, she paused until she noticed the CEO's assistant coming back from outside. Quickly, she called out, "Mr. Anderson!"
Wyatt Anderson had been heading toward the elevators but changed course and walked over. "What's the matter?"
The receptionist glanced at Edwin and Liam before saying, "They say they're Mr. Sherwood's relatives and want to speak with him."
Wyatt glanced at the two men.
He had been at the CEO's side for years and had met almost every family member.
But he didn't recognize those two at all.
He didn't buy it completely but chose to be careful. "How exactly are you connected to Mr. Sherwood?"
Edwin replied, "I'm his girlfriend's brother. Could you please-"
Wyatt cut him off sharply with a sneer. "If you've got real business, you can schedule an appointment. Don't make up stories."
Edwin's face tightened. He sounded more urgent. "I'm telling the truth!! I'm truly her brother. If you don't believe me, just ask him if he's dating Caroline,"
He was well aware that the Sherwoods' heir was keeping the relationship with Caroline under wraps-most likely because it was just a temporary fling.
Marriage had never been on the table, so it made sense that the company staff didn't know about her.
His confidence made Wyatt pause.
What if Mr. Sherwood truly has a girlfriend?
It would be a surprise. Everyone had been hoping he'd finally let someone in.

Wyatt pointed toward the lounge area. "Please wait there. I'll go find out."

He entered Blake's office. "Mr. Sherwood, the Prosperia Group deal is complete. The contract signing is set for the day after tomorrow."
"Got it," Blake replied without looking up, still focused on his paperwork.
Noticing that Wyatt didn't leave, Blake looked up slowly and frowned. "Is there something else?"
Wyatt spoke carefully, "There are two men downstairs asking to see you."
Blake's expression darkened. "Do they have a scheduled appointment? If not, I think you know what to do."
Seeing Blake's irritation, Wyatt dropped his eyes and stammered, "N-no, they don't. But they said they're your girlfriend's brothers."
Blake grew even colder. "Send them away."
The message couldn't be clearer. He had no girlfriend. That made them liars.
Wyatt cursed those two inwardly. They'd nearly dragged him into trouble with his boss!..
Leaving the office, he immediately called the receptionist. "Tell those two idiots to get lost-now!"
Hearing his angry order, the receptionist knew what had happened.
She walked over to the lounge. Before she could speak, Edwin stood up hopefully. "So? Will Mr. Sherwood meet with us?"
She rolled her eyes. "He doesn't even know who you are. Please leave now."
Edwin was stunned. "No way! Where's Mr. Anderson? Why didn't he come himself?"
He felt certain Wyatt hadn't spoken to the CEO at all and had just come up with an excuse to send them away. It wasn't the first time he'd dodged people like that.
The receptionist sneered. "Mr. Anderson has no time for scammers like you! He wanted you to leave now!"
Liam was infuriated. "Watch your mouth and show some respect!"
His outburst was loud enough to catch the attention of nearby employees, who glanced over and started whispering.
Afraid the noise would reach the CEO, the receptionist quickly called for security.
"These two are causing a scene-get them out of here!"
