Chapter 278

Seeing Marina looking totally lost, Bella pointed at the ribbon. “Did someone get married?

Marina just replied, “Oh,” her face still calm, not showing any reaction “Did someone get married?

Seeing Marina’s lack of reaction, Hella leaned in closer and whispered, “Actually, everyone’s been guessing it Mr. Zamorns engaged.”

Marina pressed her lips together, her smile a little awkward.

“Really?” Marina replied.

“They’re pretty close, but it’s not an engagement. We’re already married, Marina thought to herself.

Bella raised an eyebrow and gave her a suspicious look.

Marina quickly feigned curiosity.

“Who’s he engaged to?” Marina asked.

Bella lowered her voice and whispered, “Who else could it be? Who used to show up at our office all the time, and didn’t even have to check in at the front desk?”

Marina thought hard, and suddenly a name came to her.

“Ms. Milner?” Marina asked.

Bella nodded slightly, “Yeah, probably her.”

“Before you joined the company, she always claimed to be Mr. Zamora’s fiancée,” Bella added.

Marina’s smile grew a little faint.

Bella suddenly shifted her tone, lowering her voice again. “Or maybe it’s not her after all.”

Marina’s nerves instantly tensed up again.

She couldn’t help but worry that Bella, like Chloe, would notice how her outfit today matched Daron’s tie.

“So… who else could it be?” Marina asked, her voice low and full of nervous curiosity.

She was practically holding her breath, gossiping as carefully as she could.

Bella glanced around to make sure no one was listening, then whispered,

“Don’t tell anyone about this, okay? Mr. Zamora really hates it when people gossip about his personal life.

Marina nodded quickly, almost like a bobblehead. “Okay.”

Judging by Bella’s attitude, it was obvious she wasn’t planning to suspect Marina at all.

After all, Marina had been away from Vrufield for ten years.

She honestly had no clue if Daron had any other women around him besides Joyce.

The rest of the executive office staff kept their mouths shut, and none of them were close to her anyway.

Chloe would never talk about anything personal when it came to Daron.

So if she could get any info about the women around Daron from Bella, it would actually be a win for her.

“Or maybe it’s Ms. Blanchard,” Bella whispered.

Marina frowned, a flicker of confusion crossing her eyes.

She ran the name through her mind, but couldn’t recall ever hearing it before.

“Ms. Blanchard?” Marina thought, puzzled. ‘Is she from the Blanchard family? Then Bella must’ve gotten it wrong?

Daron’s mom was from the Blanchard family.

Bette’s surname was also Blanchard.

So Ms. Blanchard was probably just one of Daron’s cousins or something.

Rumors just got more ridiculous the more they spread.

Marina managed a faint smile, checked the time, and said softly, “It’s two o’clock. Time to get back to work.”

Bella nodded and went back to her desk. After sitting down, she tilted her head, gave Marina a curious once–over, and asked in a low voice, “Did something good happen in your family today? You look so dressed up.”

Marina glanced down at her suit, smiled lightly, and replied, “My sister got married.”

Bella sucked in a breath, her voice dropping to a whisper. “Wait, seriously? Ms. Finley got married?”

Marina hesitated for a moment, then glanced up at Bella, a hint of surprise in her eyes. “You know my sister?”

Bella’s face turned awkward, and she said a bit sheepishly, “I looked into your family background.”

Marina frowned.

Bella quickly apologized, “Sorry, sorry, it’s just a habit of mine. If I crossed a line, I really didn’t mean to. I just thought Mr. Zamora seems to treat you special, so I checked it out, and I found out you’re Ms. Finley’s sister.”

Since Daron and Elnora were classmates, it was no wonder he looked out for Marina.

I’m actually a fan of Ms. Finley. I really admire her,” Bella added.

Marina pressed her lips together. She wasn’t thrilled that Bella had been snooping into her family, but if it helped keep her marriage to Daron a secret, it wasn’t the worst thing. She could live with it for now.

Marina just hummed in response, not saying anything more.

Bella picked up on Marina’s mood and didn’t push the conversation any further. She awkwardly looked away and got back to work.

She just couldn’t believe Elnora had actually gotten married.

She always figured a boss lady like Elnora would never tie the knot.

Bella was dying to gossip, but…

She caught sight of Marina’s cool, unbothered look and dropped it.

Daron’s video conference dragged on for ages.

At one point, Marina slipped into the office to refill his tea.
