Billionaire Lost to His Surrogate In A Love Game novel Chapter 139

He smiled and suddenly became embarrassed. “Did I hurt you just now?”

Shaking her head, she answered, “Mr. Conduibh, it’s work time. Can I go back to work now?”

He gathered his senses again and said in a guilty tone, “Sorry, I was too rude.”

Shaking her head, she said, “Mr. Conduibh, I’ve forgot what happened just now. I hope you won’t think too badly of me, though I love money indeed. It was your parents who set me up to be in huge debt and even got Savannah in trouble, so I think she is the one you should say sorry to. And I hope you can say sorry to her on behalf of your parents, if you’re willing.”

He nodded.

He tidied his suits and still looked very nervous. “I’m so sorry. Please forgive me.”

She still shook her head and said, “Don’t mention it. I’ve forgot it.”

“All right.”

They walked out of the parking lot as if nothing had happened just now. When Ophelia came back to her office in the department of design, her colleagues threw an occasional look at her. She felt nervous again and glanced at Elisa, who was famous as a gossip.

“Ophelia, someone saw you were pulled out of the company by Mr. Conduibh. He didn’t hurt you, did he?” Elisa asked her in a low voice.

Weaving a sigh secretly, Ophelia thought it was true to say that there was no secret in offices. People were particularly interested in gossiping the relationship between a boss and a staff, especially when the staff was married.

In her colleagues’ eyes, she might have been a woman who entered the company due to her relationship with the boss.

A workplace was like a battlefield. One would lose if he was not careful.

Ophelia said, “Mr. Conduibh was talking business with me. I’m married and pregnant. What relationship do you think I am with him?”

Seeing her so calm, Elisa was worried about her. “I know Mr. Conduibh and you are just boss and staff, but the others don’t think so perhaps. You’re married and having a baby, so you might as well be careful and cautious in case your reputation should be damaged.”

Ophelia felt warm. She knew that the girl, who was in her twenties, was considerate and careful, despite being gossipy and noisy.

“I know, you gossip. I will be more careful. Come back to work.”

Glancing at her, Elisa said, “Mrs. King has an opinion with you, so you’d better be more careful. Don’t be so casual.”

Ophelia smiled, “Since when you have become such a stickybeak?”

Elisa pouted in a pretending annoyance and said, “I’m for your own good, while you call me stickybeak. You’re so ungrateful. I’ll leave your alone.”
