Chapter 1081

Chapter 1081:

Her long eyelashes fluttered as her gaze swept over her features. She truly was beautiful. A fresh surge of optimism flowed through Docie. She was young, remarkable, and entirely certain that, someday, she’d cross paths with that special someone meant for her.

With deliberate care, Docie tucked the dress away, took a shower, and sank onto her bed, letting sleep quietly overtake her.

The following morning, after her alarm blared relentlessly for the umpteenth time, Docie groggily pushed herself up in bed.

When she opened her bedroom door, she found that her roommates had already left for work but had thoughtfully set out breakfast for her. Once she finished her meal, Docie quickly grabbed her things and rushed off to the office. She caught the elevator just in the nick of time, hurrying to the bus stop outside her apartment complex. Fortunately, the bus arrived within a minute, and after an uneventful ride, she made it to the office just in time to clock in.

Her colleagues had all arrived, greeting Docie with warm smiles before diving right back into their animated chatter.

Docie couldn’t help but notice the unusually upbeat vibe in the department that morning. What was everyone so cheerful about?

Curious, she turned to the colleague seated across from her, who was grinning ear to ear. “Kori, what’s going on today? Why is everyone buzzing with excitement?”

Kori Marquez chuckled at Docie’s puzzled look, clearly relishing the opportunity to spill the tea.

“You came late, so you missed all the fun. When Miss Riggs came this morning, her fiancé was with her! They’re absolutely adorable together! And let me tell you—her fiancé is ridiculously handsome…”

As Kori explained, it finally clicked for Docie why everyone was so hyped up. Office gossip about the boss was always a juicy topic. Still, Docie couldn’t help but feel surprised that Susan’s fiancé had made an appearance at the company.

Since Susan had taken her on as a student, Docie had never once heard her mention her fiancé. All Docie knew was that he, too, was the CEO of a major corporation.

Docie had always assumed Susan avoided mentioning him because their relationship was more of a business arrangement than a loving partnership. But now, it appeared that her assumptions might have been wrong.

Docie couldn’t tell if Kori had exaggerated, but her curiosity was undeniably sparked. If she sought out Susan now, she might catch a glimpse of Susan’s fiancé.

Docie remained at her desk, her focus slipping as thoughts swirled in her mind. Just then, the department manager entered, ready to distribute tasks. Aware that he routinely reported their daily schedule to Susan, Docie spoke up.

“Sir, may I take today’s schedule to Miss Riggs? I need to discuss something with her.”

Although Susan’s choice to mentor Docie hadn’t been officially announced, the news had already circulated throughout the company.

The department manager, not thinking much of it, handed her the schedule.

“Alright, Docie, thank you.”
