“Good morning!” Ellie greeted with her cute, cheerful voice and then batted her large eyes at them. She looked at Zachary curiously and asked him, “Why are there only pretty ladies and no men here?”
“Because this is the president’s office. I only have secretaries in here.”
Zachary then brought his little entourage into his office.
Ben then ordered someone to bring in an assortment of snacks and treats for the children.
“Understood,” said Lucy and set out to make arrangements.
The other secretaries were just waiting for Zachary’s door to shut. When it did, they were all abuzz with gossip. ”Did I hear correctly? The girl called him ‘Daddy’? Are they the president’s children?”
“I guess so? Why would he give them piggy-back rides or bring them to the company otherwise?”
“Gosh, Mr. Nacht has kids! Isn’t he unmarried?”
“Isn’t he supposed to marry Ms. Blackwood of the Synder group?”
“I don’t think they are his own.”
“Probably not! They’re at least three or four years old. Did he have some kind of secret marriage?”
“I have no idea who the mother is.”
“The little girl looks oddly familiar. I feel like I’ve seen a face like hers before, but I can’t quite put my finger on it—”
“If you have anything else to say, why not bring it up with the president personally?” Lucy snorted coldly.
Immediately, the gossiping secretaries dispersed.
“You know the president’s temper. He doesn’t like gossiping behind his back. If he hears anything, you’ll be dismissed immediately,” said Lucy, her demeanor stern.
Several secretaries hurriedly lowered their heads and continued working under Lucy’s watchful eye.
Lucy glanced at them and pushed a meal cart into the president’s office.
A while later, Zachary set Ellie down on the couch.
