Her son was stubborn, her husband had a temper. She could already foresee the moment Keith learns of Gabriel and Serenity, there would be no peace at home for some time.
Sulia came out of the office and passed the secretaryâs office on the way out. She took the opportunity to steal a few more glances at Serenity â the latter was so busy with her work on the screen that she didnât notice Sulia was observing her.
Caleb led Sulia into the reception room and Linda uneasily asked, âMadam Jones⦠How was your talk with President Jones?â
At the sight of cautious expectation in Lindaâs eyes, Sulia couldnât bear to tell the girl the truth. Sulia avoided Lindaâs hopeful gaze and said, âHe didnât say anything. Heâs too busy and his phone keeps ringing. Letâs go first.â
Caleb was going to send them to the car, but when the elevator came up, Linda said, âAssistant Caleb, thereâs no need for us to trouble you. Iâll accompany Madam Jones out. You may return to your work.â
He indeed had many things to do so Caleb smiled warmly. âMadam, Miss Sawyer, Iâll take my leave now.â
Sulia nodded slightly and Caleb left. The elevator door opened and the two ladies entered.
As the elevator descended, Linda pretended to be ignorant and asked. âThereâs no news about President Jonesâs wedding at all. Is it because heâs not on good terms with his new wife?â
Sulia had been absent-minded since she came out of the office, thinking about how to tell her husband about this when she got back, so she didnât hear Lindaâs words at all.
Her silence made Linda misunderstand that Sulia was agreeing with her sentiment. âSince their relationship is not good, why did they get together? Anyway, itâs not strange to get a divorce now.â
The sound of the word âdivorceâ snapped Sulia back to reality. She asked Linda to repeat herself and the girl did.
âTheyâve just gotten married. If their relationship isnât good, why would they get married?â Sulia finally responded to Linda after a moment of silence.
She knew her son best. He was not an impulsive person. Although his marriage was sudden, it might be as he said, that it was a decision he made after careful consideration.
Linda smiled. âMaybe they realized that they werenât suitable for each other after they got married. Otherwise, with President Jonesâs status, why wouldnât he announce such a big thing like marriage to the public? Furthermore, he didnât prepare for a wedding.â
Sulia continued to remain silent as she fell into yet another deep thought.
Meanwhile, on the top floor, the moment Madam Jones and Linda Sawyer left, the secretaryâs office turned into an uproar. It was almost lunchtime, so the people could relax a little and started to gossip together.
âWhy did Madam Jones come to the company with Miss Sawyer?â
âDo you think Miss Sawyer is the daughter-in-law chosen by Madam Jones?â
âWho knows? The rich and powerful circle is very complicated. Ordinary people like us canât figure it out. We should spend our free time on w^ork. We might even get a bonus at the end of the year.â
One of the round-faced colleagues glanced at Serenity. âPreviously, I sawâ President Jones always bringing her along when he went on business trips. 1 thought President Jones treated her differently. I didnât expectâ¦â
When they sawâ Francesca walk over, they immediately fell silent and pretended to busy themselves with their work.
Although they had spoken softly, Serenity was not far from them. Coupled with her good hearing, their w^ords w^ere no mystery to her.
No wonder Madam Jones had a problem with her. She already had a daughter-in-law in mind, but Serenity did not expect it to be Linda..
