Gossip
Frank's assistant responded quickly, "Mr. Parker called, saying he had something to do today and might not come over."
"All right, I see." Harper nodded and entered her office.
She didn't intend to ask why Frank didn't come to the office. She already had a guess.
Harper walked to the desk and sat down. Sophia came in holding the documents. "Ms. Mitchell, this is the information I compiled yesterday." "Okay. Put it down. I'll look at it later."
Sophia nodded but didn't leave. She looked at Harper, hesitating to speak.
Harper looked at her and asked calmly, "Anything else?"
"Ms. Mitchell, I'm a little curious..."
"You're free to ask," said Harper.
"Can I ask?"
"This is your only chance," Harper said.
Hearing her words, Sophia immediately asked, "Ms. Mitchell, are you and Mr. Martin married?"
Harper stared at Sophia's curious face and replied, "Could the marriage license be fake? Would the Martin Group make a false announcement?"
"So, it's true. You two are such a perfect match." Sophia blinked with excitement on her face. She continued, "Ms. Mitchell, was it because of you that Mr. Martin and Mr. Parker fought last time?" "No," Harper answered.
"How is that possible? It must be. People from the company have always thought you would be with Mr. Parker."
Sophia accidentally told the truth.
Harper glanced at her and began to review the documents. She said in an emotionless tone, "People from the company? Isn't that what you think?"Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
"Of course not. We can all tell that Mr. Parker likes you," said Sophia.
Harper said, "So, I hired you to gossip about my personal life? You don't do your job well but talk about my gossip every day? Inform everyone that each person will be deducted 500 dollars this month."
"Five hundred dollars?" Sophia exclaimed with a bitter expression.
"If you say one more word, you'll be deducted one thousand dollars."
Sophia pressed her lips tightly, hardly daring to breathe.
Harper didn't say anything and waved her hand to signal her to go out. It was just a joke that she would dock their pay.
Harper was in no mood to review the documents any longer. She leaned back in her chair, placed her hand on her bulging abdomen, and murmured inwardly, "Baby, what should I do?"
The news that Benjamin had been married was well known in Mayby. Although the discussion on Twitter had slowly declined, it was still a heated topic in the high society circle.
In a hotel bathroom, several socialites were gossiping at the sink.
"I heard Mr. Hastings say that Mr.
Martin planned to have a child, so he made his marriage public. Maybe
Harper is already pregnant, and they
went public with their
pave the way for the birth of their child."
"I feel the same way. After all, it will be the first child of the Martin family. Although the Martin family is way out of Harper's league, she will have a more stable status after giving
birth to a child. From now on, we must respect her more when we see her. Otherwise, we may drag our families down."
"Yes. We should pay more attention in the future and remind each other."
Several socialites nodded in agreement and left the bathroom after finishing the topic.
When there was no sound outside, the bathroom door that had been closed in the corner was pushed open.
The woman with exquisite makeup walked out expressionlessly. She walked to the sink and stared at the mirror with cold eyes, her eyes filled with jealousy and indifference. Benjamin wanted Harper to have a child?
She endured it for a while before she could control her emotions. Then, she came out of the bathroom and met a handsome man staring at her with a smile.
She was not in the mood, but she didn't want to upset the man. So, she smiled, "Patrick, what a coincidence. Why are you here?"
