Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Her son was stubborn, her husband had a temper. She could already foresee the moment Keith learns of Gabriel and Serenity, there would be no peace at home for some time.
Sulia came out of the office and passed the secretary’s office on the way out. She took the opportunity to steal a few more glances at Serenity – the latter was so busy with her work on the screen that she didn’t notice Sulia was observing her.
Caleb led Sulia into the reception room and Linda uneasily asked, “Madam Jones… How was your talk with President Jones?”
At the sight of cautious expectation in Linda’s eyes, Sulia couldn’t bear to tell the girl the truth. Sulia avoided Linda’s hopeful gaze and said, “He didn’t say anything. He’s too busy and his phone keeps ringing. Let’s go first.”
Caleb was going to send them to the car, but when the elevator came up, Linda said, “Assistant Caleb, there’s no need for us to trouble you. I’ll accompany Madam Jones out. You may return to your work.”
He indeed had many things to do so Caleb smiled warmly. “Madam, Miss Sawyer, I’ll take my leave now.”
Sulia nodded slightly and Caleb left. The elevator door opened and the two ladies entered.
As the elevator descended, Linda pretended to be ignorant and asked. “There’s no news about President Jones’s wedding at all. Is it because he’s not on good terms with his new wife?”
Sulia had been absent-minded since she came out of the office, thinking about how to tell her husband about this when she got back, so she didn’t hear Linda’s words at all.
Her silence made Linda misunderstand that Sulia was agreeing with her sentiment. “Since their relationship is not good, why did they get together? Anyway, it’s not strange to get a divorce now.”
The sound of the word ‘divorce’ snapped Sulia back to reality. She asked Linda to repeat herself and the girl did.
“They’ve just gotten married. If their relationship isn’t good, why would they get married?” Sulia finally responded to Linda after a moment of silence.
She knew her son best. He was not an impulsive person. Although his marriage was sudden, it might be as he said, that it was a decision he made after careful consideration.
Linda smiled. “Maybe they realized that they weren’t suitable for each other after they got married. Otherwise, with President Jones’s status, why wouldn’t he announce such a big thing like marriage to the public? Furthermore, he didn’t prepare for a wedding.”
Sulia continued to remain silent as she fell into yet another deep thought.
Meanwhile, on the top floor, the moment Madam Jones and Linda Sawyer left, the secretary’s office turned into an uproar. It was almost lunchtime, so the people could relax a little and started to gossip together.
“Why did Madam Jones come to the company with Miss Sawyer?”
“Do you think Miss Sawyer is the daughter-in-law chosen by Madam Jones?”
“Who knows? The rich and powerful circle is very complicated. Ordinary people like us can’t figure it out. We should spend our free time on w^ork. We might even get a bonus at the end of the year.”
One of the round-faced colleagues glanced at Serenity. “Previously, I saw’ President Jones always bringing her along when he went on business trips. 1 thought President Jones treated her differently. I didn’t expect…”
When they saw’ Francesca walk over, they immediately fell silent and pretended to busy themselves with their work.
Although they had spoken softly, Serenity was not far from them. Coupled with her good hearing, their w^ords w^ere no mystery to her.
No wonder Madam Jones had a problem with her. She already had a daughter-in-law in mind, but Serenity did not expect it to be Linda..
