Chapter 32 Seeing that she had left, Summer could not bring herself to look for her, so she went to Joe.
“Ah?” Joe replied, “You want to know Gale‘s story?”
“Yes!”
“She...err, shh, keep it a secret.”
Summer replied impatiently, “I know, I know, tell me now!”
Joe said, “She is our boss‘s wife.”
Summer‘s jaw dropped.
What!?
Gale married Shawn?
Wasn‘t it good fortune to marry into a wealthy family? Why did Gale say her life was bad and unfortunate!
Joe warned, “Summer, I trust you with this. Keep your mouth shut.”
“Are they in a good relationship?”
“This... I don‘t know very well. However, the relationship between the two of them is very confusing and secretive.”
Summer asked, “How so?”
“Just observe their relationship for a few days, you will see that something is wrong.”
“Hey, Mister. Joe.” Summer looked at him with contempt. “As Mr. Wood‘s best buddy, you can’t even find out this much? You even claim to be Wood‘s blood brother!”
Joe spread his hands and said, “I know everything about Shawn, but he never mentioned a single word about this marriage.”
Gale returned to her workstation, feeling uncomfortable.
Summer was her best friend. They talked about everything. She also wanted to talk about her experience over the years.
However, it was not a good idea. It would only make Summer dislike her.
Ding... A notification popped from her phone.
Opening it, she saw that it was a message from Shawn.[ Come to my office.)
Gale resigned herself to her fate and got up.
She stood in front of his desk and said, “Mr. Wood, you asked for me?”
Shawn threw an invitation card at her. “See for yourself.”
Gale picked it up. “Charity auction?”
Gale said, “I see. It‘s just... I don‘t have suitable clothes.”
Shawn slowly leaned back on the chair and squinted at her.
“Gale, do you remember the first time we met?”
She was stunned for a while, then nodded. “Yes.”
