The Charming Ex-Wife

Chapter 601 Rumors And Gossips

Upon noticing that she was wavering and that there was a chance, Howard felt a wave of joy wash over him, though he kept his happiness hidden from her. Cheerfully, he said, “You go ahead and focus on your work. I’ll handle things here. Since both families are still at the hospital, I’ll go and have a good talk with them. Maverick may have a temper, but he’s clearly a straightforward and decent man. As long as we approach him right, he won’t be that hard to communicate with. Don’t worry too much about it.”

This statement sounded somewhat familiar to Lysander.

However, Lysander didn’t have the time to think too deeply about it. After expressing her thanks, she left the office. On her way out, she encountered several people from the company, but only a few took the initiative to greet her.

Everyone worked in the same office building, so naturally, office gossip spread particularly quickly within the company.

What was whispered among the women in the restroom was undoubtedly known to others. By now, the stories had likely become even more exaggerated.

Under curious and gossiping gazes, Lysander walked into the elevator calmly, descending to the lobby on the first floor as if nothing had happened.
