Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 3128

"I missed you, so I came to pick you up,” Percy said sweet nothings without hesitation despite being surrounded by employees from Brilliant. He did not feel embarrassed at all.

He pressed the elevator button, and the doors slowly opened.

Percy and Nina entered the elevator together.

Nina looked at the people standing outside the elevator doors and asked, "Aren't you guys coming in?"

"Ms. Langdon, we wouldn’t want to be a third wheel. We’ll catch the next one." The employees chuckled and waved.

Nin’s face slightly reddened. Since no one entered, the elevator doors slowly closed and descended.

One of the Brilliant employees could not help but exclaim, "Ms. Langdon and her fiancé have such a good relationship."

"Fiancé? They're legally recognized as a married couple now. It’s just that they just haven't had the wedding ceremony yet. Besides, haven't we already received the wedding invitations?" another employee corrected her.

"Come on, it was just a slip of the tongue. They’re such a sweet couple, and it doesn't seem like there's any problem between them. Who on earth spread the rumor that Ms. Langdon was abused by her husband?" the employee who had just exclaimed suddenly questioned.

Nina's face was swollen back then, and for some reason, a rumor spread in the company that Nina was being abused by Percy.

The parties involved did not say anything, but the rumor spread like wildfire behind their backs.

"Many couples appear loving in public, but who knows what happens behind closed doors until it shows on their faces?"

"So, you mean it might actually be true? But Mr. Mallory doesn't seem like that kind of person."

"You can't judge a book by its cover. Businessmen like them might be violent behind closed doors. A violent person tends to lay hands on those around them. Look at Ms. Langdon. She’s so fragile and thin, but she has to endure her husband's fists... for the sake of money..."

Once these discussions start, even false rumors would be thought of as true.

They were deeply engrossed in their discussion, so much so that they did not even notice Sue standing behind them.

Sue's expression grew darker and darker as she listened to their discussion. She could not bear to listen anymore and said, "How on earth are you all so good at making up stories? Maybe you should quit the architectural industry and become scriptwriters instead?

"The stuff you come up with would be a hit with the soccer moms, no doubt. Ignorance is bliss, but you're already cooking up a whole damn soap opera for Ms. Langdon. You think talking like this will get you off the hook, huh?"

The group was startled and turned around to see a grim expression on Sue’s face.

"Ms. Carter."

"Ms. Carter."

After they greeted Sue, no one dared to speak. They dared to gossip thinking no one was around. Now that they knew Sue was here, they dared not continue.

There was no way this conversation could continue.

"Why aren't you saying anything?" Sue looked at them. "I thought you all loved gossiping."

"I’m sorry, Ms. Carter." A female employee explained with a stiff smile on her face, "We're just concerned about Ms. Langdon."

"You’ve got the guts to talk about your superior’s personal business here, so how come you don't have the guts to say it to our faces?" Sue questioned them.

They fell silent.

"Ms. Langdon's marriage is doing well, and that bothers you, doesn't it?" Sue was not as gentle as Nina was with everyone.

She was downright scary when she was giving someone a dressing down.

Moreover, she would not scold indiscriminately without reason—only when she had a point.

If the other party had not done anything wrong, she would not lash out randomly.
