Please Love Me, Mr. George novel Chapter 210

After breakfast, Dennis followed me along back to the office. Working hours started at 9. Traffic was bad on our way, even though we had left home early - We arrived at work around 9, almost running late.

I was glad I didn’t have to clock in.

The elevator was packed because everyone was afraid of running late. Dennis was tall and he covered me in his hug so I didn’t have to be squeezed. He was tall and handsome, and he had always been a famous figure on the Finance and Economics headlines in City P the past half-year.

Quite a few office ladies from the Gibson’s recognized Dennis and looked over at him now and then. There were a couple of them spoke up and greeted him.

But I felt quite awkward. Dennis and I were standing close to each other in an intimate position. Besides, he was trying to protect me, so someone from the crowds asked out of curiosity, “Ms. Clara, are you seeing Mr. George?”

Dennis had always been aloof and arrogant, so I assumed he wouldn’t reply at all - The best he could do might just be a smile out of courtesy. I didn’t expect him to answer, “We are husband and wife, and we have been married for several years.”

The people in the elevator had no idea. They all cast gossip and stared at us in awe for a while.

I wanted to say something, but finally decided not to - I just looked at everyone with a forced smile in the end.

Everyone in the elevator started to ask Dennis and me, out of natural human curiosity about how we had met each other and gotten married.

Luckily we arrived on our floor - I grabbed Dennis and pulled him along to walk toward my office room, apologizing with a smile.

After I pulled Dennis into my office, I glared at him and said angrily, “I told you not to follow me to work.”

He raised his eyebrows, “What’s the matter? I was just telling the truth.”

I was stunned, “Don’t you always hate being gossiped about?” There was an elevator at the George Group, exclusive for the CEO’s use only. Dennis did not have to socialize with other staff if he didn’t want to. Why did he become so chatty after taking the staff elevator with me once this time?

And he was planning to keep on chitchatting with others?

He smiled, naturally grabbed me into his arm, and said, “You are my lawfully wedded wife - What others talked about are facts, not gossip. Gossips can never be facts.”

I pushed Dennis’s arm away. I pulled him to sit on the sofa, looked at him, and said, “You can’t just hug me whenever you want, especially when I am at work now. I have to be professional, do you get it?"

He laughed, “Why are you talking to me like I am a child?”

Uh uh! No!

“Anyway, just don’t interfere with my working hours, alright?”

Dennis nodded and smiled. He took a magazine and started reading it instead. Seeing that he was well behaved, I turned on the computer and focused on reading the documents piled up on the table.

I was only in charge of one project, so the workload was not large. And things were even easier on me with Hank’s participation in the project.

After finishing reading the document, I looked up and realized Dennis had been staring at me, with his hand holding his chin.

I was a bit surprised, and couldn’t help but pout my lips, “What are you looking at?”

He raised his eyebrows, “Women who work hard are beautiful!”

I...

Dennis was unbelievable...

Time flew by - It was almost noon. I was thinking about what to eat for lunch.

But Dennis’s phone rang. He picked it up and frowned slightly as if something wrong had happened. Listening to what he said, it seemed to have to do with Mario Bennett.

He finished the call finally. He walked up to me, wrapped his arms around me, and said, “I am afraid you would have to get lunch alone. Mario ran into some problems with the project he was in charge of. I have to go check it out.”

I nodded, “Sure, go ahead!”

His leaving would help me focus on work better.

He found my reaction funny, “It seems like you want me to leave you alone, don’t you?”

Of course!
