Chapter 62 Albert Knowles
She was so used to calling her ‘Iris’ that the name almost slipped out again. Charli was still not used to calling her ‘Elisa’.
Elisa nodded and walked into the room under the crowd’s gaze.
Meanwhile, some of the guys were still looking at her back.
The man who replied to her just now tucked his hands into his pockets as he leaned on the computer desk. Even though he wore a formal suit, one could feel a mischievous air around him.
There was a mole on the right side of his good-looking face. However, not only did it not decrease his handsomeness, it actually had the opposite effect.
He had just turned 28 the day before, but he was still single. Yet, he liked to sleep around, and had had many girlfriends.
Still looking at Elisa’s back, he could not help sighing, “She really is something, being Mr. Wickam’s ex-wife. When I saw her pictures, I already thought that she was pretty, but seeing her in person, she’s even more stunning than the pictures!”
Standing right opposite to him was a woman who hated how he fooled around with women, yet she could not help having a crush on him because of his good looks.
When she heard him showering another woman with praises, she smiled sarcastically. “Albert, she is already divorced, and she can’t rely on Mr. Wickam anymore. You don’t have to suck up to her, you know?”
Albert Knowles frowned and stared back at the woman, Jennifer Garraway, before letting out a sigh. “I’m not sucking up to her. Can’t you see how much I admire her? A beautiful lady like her deserved to be treated well by men!”
The rest of their co-workers shot a glance at both of them, but none of them chimed in. They knew that Albert and Jennifer were always at odds with each other, and it was clear that Jennifer had feelings for him, while he was completely unaware of that.
She snorted out laughing. “Mr. Wickam didn’t want her anymore – doesn’t that show that she’s no good? Even before the divorce, she was already going out with other men. Do you even dare to support her after knowing that?”
“That’s my business. Let’s get back to work! I have a court case to handle tomorrow, so I have to make some preparations today.”
With that, he sat down and started working for real. Albert was a man who took action quickly, so his performance was always stellar.
All the lawyers at Charli’s firm were elites. Any one of them could handle a case independently.
It was common knowledge that Charli set a high standard for new hires, so everyone doubted Elisa’s capabilities and if she really joined the firm because of her solid abilities.
Fortunately, Charli was a woman. Otherwise, people would have suspected Elisa for using some special techniques under the hood to get into the firm.
Amidst everyone’s discussion, morning passed. However, Elisa did not once emerge from Charli’s office, making everyone perplexed.
Jennifer’s gaze darted to the door several times. Finally, she could no longer hold herself back and asked, “What’s going on? Why is Elisa in there for so long?”
“Perhaps there’s a lot for her to catch up on, since today is her first day.”
…
At this moment, Elisa was sitting right opposite Charli. Everyone in the firm knew that there were two computers in Charli’s office, but she only used one of them. The other was strictly prohibited to be touched by others.
However, Elisa turned it on.
The windows of the office were covered by wallpapers, so no one could tell what they were doing in the office.
Charli sighed emotionally, “It’s been so long. Look at how much dust gathered here. It’s time that you finally turned it on.”
Guilt crossed Elisa’s eyes. “Sorry about that.”
