Pushing the advantage

"Oh!" 

The receptionist nearly jumped when she saw me. Her eyes first opened wide and then calmed down as her professional behavior kicked in. 

"Welcome to the auction hall, sir!" she greeted, respectfully bowing her head. 

'Heh,' I chuckled in my mind. Then I shook my head and smiled humbly. 

"Excuse me, but could you arrange a meeting with the boss of this branch?" I asked, politely nodding my head. 

"Yes, right away," the girl replied while bowing her head. 

It was my first time meeting her, yet she acted just like any of the earlier receptionists I met. 

'Still,' I thought, pushing my body forward as I followed the girl. When I turned my eyes back at the entrance, someone else had already staffed the receptionist's desk. 'Everything went quite fast,' I rejoiced. 

"Sir." The girl stopped by the doors, bowing her head and pointing me towards it. "The boss is waiting," she added.
