Chapter 221 Bitterness
There was a photo on the phone taken recently, where Jaquan and Cierra were talking.
Laura had took a lot of photos secretly and was sharing them with Wanda with a gossipy face.
While talking she kept scrolling through the photos on her phone.
“Wanda, I heard that you’ve been around Mr. Barton for seven years. Do you know this beautiful lady? What’s her relationship with him?”
That was an ingenious camera angle, just showing the side of their faces.
The man in suit raised his hand and was touching the lady’s head. His face was beaming with a gentle smile, and that doting look in his eyes which was hard to be overlooked.
Whoever saw it would rave that it looked exactly like a touching scene in an idol drama.
Even Wanda couldn’t help but stare blankly at these photos.
They were really a perfect match for each other.
“By the way, this beautiful lady looks so familiar. Just like a female celebrity. Have I seen her on the
Internet?”
Other staff in Mr. Barton’s office were attracted by Laura too.
Some of them were holding the fried chestnuts that Cierra had bought, leaning against Wanda’s desk, chewing and chatting.
Hearing this, Laura nodded and said, “I seem to remember…”
Suddenly she widened her eyes and pointed at the side of Cierra’s face in shock.
“I remember. The lady seems to be the sister of Landen Birley, the award-winning actor! Have you read the news of the car accident today? A has-been A-lister charged into pedestrians on the street indiscriminately. I heard that she was the one who s*atched this pretty lady’s ex-husband.”
“Ah? Really?!”
“So Mr. Barton sort of saved the beautiful lady, ex-wife of the Trevino Group in New York? But she
married once. I don’t think she is good enough for Mr. Barton.”
“Not good enough? Look at her grace and look. Moreover, ex-wife of the the Trevino family in New York, sister of Landen Birley, the award-winning actor. She must have an extraordinary background. A perfect match for Mr. Barton who has a child and old. Besides, look at the expression
in Mr. Barton’s eyes. We don’t need to worry about them.”
They kept on chatting about Jaquan’s marriage, and that gave Wanda a big headache.
Finally she snapped and interrupted them coldly.
“Do you have nothing to do, or are your leaders too lax? Aren’t you afraid of being caught gossiping about Mr. Barton openly in the office?”
As soon as she stopped, the surroundings instantly fell silent.
Although Wanda was not their immediate superior, but as the most experienced person in Mr. Barton’s office, she had worked for him for many years. So everyone still held her in awe.
No one dared to
loaf off and gossip, and they all went back to work.
Couldn’t chat face to face, so they started a group chat online.
Wanda was also added to the group.
It was not her main account, but a personal account she used to transfer files or as a memo.
Mr. Barton’s Office was connected to all the other departments of the company. Sometimes, there would be some social activities. Her friend, the marketing manager, told her in private not to be too serious. Otherwise, her subordinates wouldn not be able to enjoy the activities and consider them
formalism.
She didn’t expect that they didn’t know it was her account, less so that these little girls would be so
gossipy.
Just as she was about to open the mute notifications, and close the chat box, her hand suddenly
stopped.
