Nathaniel–never one to care about the perception of others–held Christina’s hand in public as he led her into his office.
Meanwhile, all the employees in the secretarial department were blown away by the sight of the couple. They subsequently tussled against each other to peek out of their glass door and look in the direction of the CEO’s office.
“Did you see that? Mr. Hadley was really gentle. After working here for eight years, I’ve never seen him seem so human before.”
“This is the power of love, something someone single like you would never understand. Anyway, I can’t believe how handsome Mr. Hadley is when he smiles!”
“Hahaha… I guess Mrs. Hadley is the only one in the world who can stir Mr. Hadley’s emotions. I hope that she comes by more often. As long as Mr. Hadley is in a good mood, our days in the office would be peaceful.”
“Come on, ladies. Zip it. All of us will get in trouble if either one of them hears us.”
“Hmph, Mr. Hadley might be cold, but he isn’t someone petty. You’re just trying to scare me just because I’m easily cowed, but I’m not afraid at all. Worse comes to worst, I’ll plead for mercy from Mrs. Hadley. I’m sure she’ll save us considering what a kind person she is.”
Just like a bunch of chirping birds, the secretaries forgot to lower their voices as they got carried away gossiping. Little did they know that every word they said could clearly be heard by Nathaniel and Christina.
Even Sebastian couldn’t help but feel nervous for them.
Nathaniel’s expression darkened as he commented grimly, “If they have nothing better to do, they can help the sales department increase their sales. On top of that, based on company policy, deduct a week’s salary from them for gossiping in the office.”
That group of girls would definitely cry their eyes out if a week’s salary was docked from them.
