Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 657

Back at the secretaries' office, Annette saw that everyone was busy at work.

She smacked her table to get everyone's attention, then said exaggeratedly, "Hey, I have some juice news to tell all of you! Just now, I saw the acting CEO reprimanding Ms. Laviere! She even said that Ms. Laviere's bid proposal is imperfect. What a joke! No one in T Corporation dares to question Ms. Laviere's capabilities. Who does that newbie think she is?"

The other two secretaries covered their mouths and chuckled when they heard Annette's description.

Only Tina continued typing in front of her computer, fully focused on her work.

Secretary A stretched, yawned, and took out a powder puff to apply some make-up to her face. "Does she think that she's the CEO just by sitting in that chair? Can she even stay in that chair for long?"

"Who knows? I saw that she signed many contracts and documents, but I'm sure that she's only pretending."

Secretary B pushed her glasses and guessed, "Our CEO's capabilities are legendary, so his wife should be equally capable too. Why would a wealthy family accept that woman if she's brainless? I can also see that our acting CEO is quite talented in architectural design. She should be capable of managing a business as well."

Annette rolled her eyes at Secretary B. "Or so you think! She looked so frail and delicate. What capabilities can she possibly have? Don't you know, I've seen her sitting on Mr. Crawford's lap several times when I went into the CEO's office. She was half undressed and was trying to distract Mr. Crawford from her work! Do you think that our noble CEO would be tempted by such a vile woman?"

Then, Annette looked around to make sure that no one else had entered the room and lowered her voice. "I've heard that Mr. Crawford has given that woman 90% of his property. Wouldn't you expect that he leaves his property to his mother or children? Do you think that the woman might have secretly amended Mr. Crawford's will?"

"Oh my god!" Secretary A's jaw dropped. "That's sensational news! How scheming that woman is to amend Mr. Crawford's will! That's unbelievable!"

Secretary B did not readily believe it. "That shouldn't be, right? Is it that easy to amend a will? Moreover, she's bearing Mr. Crawford's child and will be delivering the baby soon…"

Annette continued, "Who knows? Maybe she's involved in Mr. Crawford's death!"

Tina, who had been keeping quiet, slammed the table with a pen and said unhappily to the other secretaries, "You're not paid to gossip on company time, and you should know the consequences if our acting CEO finds out that you've been talking behind her back. Looks like our acting CEO needs to assign more work to you…"

Compared to the other secretaries, Tina was closer to Bianca. To her, Bianca was gentle, courteous, empathic, and easy-going.

Bianca was not an opportunistic woman like what the other women were saying.

She spoke out because she could not stand the other secretaries slandering Bianca.

The office instantly resumed its silence. Secretaries A and B did not dare to retort.

The secretaries were not divided by rank, and Tina shared equal responsibility with the other secretaries, but Tina was the most capable one, and the others respected her authority.

Only Annette shot a disdainful glance at Tina.

'Do you think that you can get on Bianca's good side by siding with her? In your dreams!

'I'd be grateful if that woman doesn't wreck the company.'

…

Mavis had a gloomy expression on her face as she stepped out of the CEO's office. How dare Bianca say that her proposal was imperfect?

No one ever said that to her, including Mr. Crawford. At most, he would give her some suggestions.
