Instead of returning home, Amos and Eudora rushed straight to the company.
After Nelson had explained the situation, the crowd at the entrance had dispersed. Thus, Naomi could go back to work.
Although Cynthia still disliked Naomi a lot, she couldn't do anything about it since Naomi had not made a mistake.
In the silent office, Naomi sat there and worked quietly. The colleagues around her would look at her from time to time and whisper among themselves.
"Being the president's daughter is so enviable. You can even get a boyfriend with that kind of status! That guy, Nelson, seems like a young and talented man!"
"He's nothing compared to the affluent Granger family! In my opinion, that's just puppy love."
"You're right, but having a fling with someone like him is already a hundred times better than us who go on multiple dates!" "We're nowhere near as wealthy as they are..."
Naomi heard them, but she was reluctant to say anything.
Her fingers paused for a moment, and then she continued to work until a tall figure came through the door.
All of a sudden, everyone held their breath and watched as Amos walked in from the door.
"Chairman Granger is here!"
Ever since Amos had merged the companies, he had seldom showed up. The employees would only see him via the photos of the annual party.
To them, he was still as debonair as he used to be although more than ten years had passed.
He walked all the way to Naomi's desk, looking incredibly concerned.
Nonetheless, he managed to restrain his emotions.
He ordered, "My office, now!"
Naomi's fingers paused briefly again, then she got up and followed him. She replied, "Yes, Chairman Granger!"
When they left, everyone began to sigh again.
"I don't envy her for having a boyfriend like Nelson anymore. If I were to have a father like Chairman Granger, I would feel like I was on top of the world!"
"That depends on how many good deeds you have done in your past lives. Don't you know that Chairman Granger is famous for spoiling his daughter? Naomi must have saved the world in her past life to have such a father bestowed upon her!"
"I feel a twinge of envy and jealousy for her!"
Hearing the voices, Cynthia walked out and knocked on the door.
"You all have nothing to do, don't you? Then, I'm going to have a meeting now. Show me your performance throughout this month!"
Everyone immediately fell silent and bowed their heads.
Looking at Naomi's back as she walked away, Cynthia frowned.
In the chairman's office, as soon as Naomi pushed the door open and went in, she heard Amos's angry voice.
He shouted, "What's going on? Didn't you break up with him? Why are the rumors saying you two are in a relationship?"
Naomi pursed her lips and said, "Dad, it's not what you think!" "Then, what's happening? Nelson is the one who
did it, isn't he? He's using you!"
Amos was really flying into a rage. Upon seeing the news, he lost his mind at the thought of his precious daughter being deceived.
Therefore, he could not remain unruffled when he spoke.
"Dad..." Naomi couldn't find a chance to speak at all.
"Shut up, all of you!" It was not until Eudora opened her mouth that everyone calmed down.
The office became quiet in an instant. Clint poked his head around the door and saw the situation inside. He couldn't help but think, "Mrs. Granger is so awesome!"
Amos pursed his lips and returned to his seat.
He ordered, "Explain yourself!"
Only then did Naomi find the opportunity to speak and tell her parents what had gone down that day.
