It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 765

"Oh! So Rachel and Mr. Leng grew up together. They are youth sweethearts!" The employees exchanged similar expressions of dawning comprehension. They turned to look at Rachel admiringly. For a while, all of them thought Rachel was the best prospect for Mr. Leng's wife, which made Rachel feel quite smug about the whole affair.

"Yeah! You can say that." Rachel's lips curled upward into a big smile. Anyone could see how happy she was. They wondered at how God had favored her as it gave her exquisite features and an enchanting figure.

"So, are you Mr. Leng's girlfriend?" one of the employees asked. Gossip was always hot among women when they gathered together. For a moment, the entire office was buzzing. They waited with bated breaths for Rachel's answer.

"Why? Do you think so?" Rachel did not answer directly, but posed another question at them. The fact that she hadn't denied the speculation added fuel to the fire. The women grew more curious.

"Surely you are! Otherwise why would Mr. Leng treat you so differently?" came the answer.

"Yes! You call him by his first name, and with familiarity. We can see you are close to him," called out another voice in the audience.

"Isn't that so? Mr. Leng has never been like that with any other colleague before," someone agreed.

The staff continued to gossip among each other. The rumor had spread like wildfire in the company. For a while, the company's grapevine had been rife with speculation that the new group leader of the Sales Department, Rachel, was Mr. Leng's girlfriend. Everyone was beginning to believe it. So when Janice saw the gossip on the company's website, she was so stunned that her mouth dropped open. Without thinking further for a moment longer, she straightaway rushed to the President's office.

"Mr. Leng, you're in serious trouble. Something has happened." Janice was usually known to keep calm. But today, she burst into the CEO's office without even knocking on the door. Her sudden arrival disturbed Duke, who was hardly fond of interruptions. Duke glared at her. His expression warned her that she'd better have something useful to say, otherwise she'd be done for!

"It is you who are in trouble! What in the world happened? Why are you in such a hurry? Do you have any etiquette or not?" Duke fumed, giving her a disdainful look. He continued working on his documents.

"I am not joking! It is an emergency. I don't care about manners under a crisis situation! You'd better log in to the company's website page right now and see the posts!" Janice exclaimed. 'Hmph. Let's see if you can continue to be calm after reading that post. You will regret shouting at me when you see it!' Janice thought gloatingly.

"Is there something wrong with the company website? Have any hackers invaded it? If so, you should go and talk to the Tech Department, not me! Why did you come here?" Duke spared her no attention as he handled the documents. He was quite confident of the company's firewall system and doubted there was anything wrong with the web platform. He hardly had the time or energy to deal with this drama.

"No! It's about you. You'd better see it quickly! I am serious. There would definitely be serious consequences otherwise," Janice said. If the gossip stayed inside the company, it would not cause many problems. However, Janice was afraid that the moment the rumor spread to the public outside, Mr. Leng would be in huge trouble. After all, he was about to marry Belinda Shangguan in a few days. If his bride-to-be saw the post, she would misunderstand him big time. It could affect their upcoming nuptials. But Mr. Leng was also partly to blame here! Why hadn't he revealed the news of his marriage to his colleagues? Now everyone in the company was taking wild guesses about his relationship at his expense.

"It's about me? What's the problem?" Finally, Duke put down the pen in his hand to open his computer. He logged into the home page of the company website. However, he did not find anything unusual on the screen. He couldn't help but raise his head and glare at Janice. She was making trouble out of nothing!

"It's not on the homepage. Click on the daily headlines." Janice winced in fear as she prepared herself for his impending outburst.

Duke rolled his eyes at Janice before looking at the screen again. 'Of course, something strange had to happen. Otherwise she wouldn't get her bonus this month, ' Duke thought indignantly. Everyone thought that Edward was vindictive. But Duke was definitely not inferior to him in that respect.
