Stuck in you

Chapter 320 Directed And Acted By Herself

Jack glanced at Austin and continued to twirl with the pen in between his fingertips. "What's up?"

From the look on Austin's face, what he was about to say had nothing to do with business. Every time he showed even a flicker of emotion, it meant that what he was going to say was meant for private ears.

Now, it had something to do with Jack.

"Miss Duan is in the lobby, and everyone says that you quarreled with her. She looks devastated."

If Austin hadn't gone to the executive department, he wouldn't have heard about it.

The executive department held the largest number of female employees in the company. It was also the place where gossip was known to circulate.

When Austin came over to get some office supplies, he was surprised to see several employees crowding in one spot and talking about a certain someone.

Since he wasn't busy today, he stood aside and listened to what they were talking about. The man stiffened when he heard Celine's name.

"Wait, what's wrong with Celine? What did you say?" Austin took a step forward.

"Austin..."

Suddenly, the crowd dispersed. As if nothing had happened, they all went back to their seats and pretended to look at case files.

Austin decided to ask one of them, "What were you talking about?"

"Nothing." The female employee waved her hand. Who would dare gossip about Jack in front of Austin?

Accustomed to this kind of situation, Austin frowned. "In that case, I can give you the corresponding punishment according to the employee manual."

"Austin, please don't. We won't be able to survive the next month if our salary's deducted," she begged. Her eyes glistened with unshed tears as she stared up at him. "Just pretend you didn't hear anything."

"Speak then."

He took a step back and waited.

Knowing that her own salary was on the line, the female employee whispered, "We just saw Celine sitting in the lobby with red eyes, so we assumed that they had a fight."

"That's it?"

Seeing that she nodded, Austin immediately returned to his boss's office with the office supplies that he had collected. After what he had heard, Jack immediately walked down to check it himself.
