Lisa had said it ambiguously on purpose. If it was any other woman, Amelia would definitely misunderstand. However, since it was Georgia, she believed that they were only discussing official matters.
Amelia smiled and said, “Ms. Bailey’s my friend too. Also, since the Baileys and the Clintons are collaborating on a project, she’s only here to talk about business. As the secretary, you’re spreading rumors instead of denouncing them. Do you want to get fired?”
Shocked, Lisa quickly clarified, “Mrs. Clinton, that’s not what I meant…”
“All right, go back to your work. I don’t want to hear such rumors again, understood?”
“Yes,” mumbled Lisa before slipping away.
Amelia knocked on the door and called out, “Darling, it’s me.”
Oscar’s voice only sounded after half a minute. “Come in.”
When Amelia entered, she saw Georgia and Oscar talking about work intensely. Hence, she sat on the couch at the side and waited for their discussion to end.
It wasn’t until half an hour later did their discussion end. Georgia stood up and smiled at Amelia. “You’re here, Amelia.”
Georgia was the classic example of a modern working woman with an independent personality and mindset. Furthermore, she was also financially independent. In addition to her slender figure, pretty looks, and rich family background, it was no wonder that those rumors would spread in the company.
