My Mute Bride

My Mute Bride Chapter 199

With an innocent look on his face, the little boy held the receptionist’s hand as they went into the elevator. Sweetly, he said, “Miss, this building is so tall!”

“Yes, it is. The company’s pharmaceutical branch is on this floor, which is where your mom is,” she replied patiently while pointing at the floor numberings. “The president’s office is on this floor, while the other departments are on the remaining floors.”

Mentally taking note of this, he nodded.

Ding! The elevator had finally reached the floor where Rachel’s office was.

“I’ll go in on my own. Thank you!”

“No, worries, kiddo. Look for me if you have any problems, alright?”

Then, she patted his head before turning to enter the elevator again.

As soon as the elevator went down, he stood on his toes and pressed the button to go upstairs. After that, he entered the next elevator and headed to the floor where the receptionist said his dad would be.

Meanwhile, Charlotte sat down in Rachel’s office and opened her laptop to watch some cartoons.

The door to the office was not shut properly, so she could hear the two workers gossiping from their workstations nearby.

Just as she jumped off the chair to close the door, she froze when she overheard what they were discussing.

“Does Mr. Burton really have a son?”

“I heard him say it himself at the press conference yesterday. Why would he lie?”

“I also saw the news. Are those things online about Amber true? Is she really Rachel’s sister? Did she steal Mr. Burton from Rachel?”

Upon hearing this, Charlotte stayed silent.

In the meantime, Justin was in a morning meeting in the boardroom.

Suddenly, Gloria rushed in after knocking on the door and whispered into Frankie’s ears. Right after, he followed her out of the room.

As Justin listened to the business proposal, he looked outside the glass window to find a child standing in between Frankie and Gloria, who were speaking to each other.

He frowned.
