Chapter 683: Misidentified brother, not husband.

Heaven was hopeful that things would return to normal. The past several days appeared to be heading in that direction. However, when she returned to the office, things were strange. The odd and curious gazes from everyone had returned, continuing throughout the day.

At first, Heaven thought it was only in her mind. It was her imagination. That was impossible. Everyone should have already moved on from that ridiculous rumor, only to find out the reason for the company dinner.

"Pepsi, I heard your husband came by the office."

Heaven, busy blowing on her soup, lifted her eyes to Belle. Deep lines appeared between her brows, confused.

"Huh?"

"Come on, Pepsi. You don’t have to be shy," one of her colleagues chuckled playfully. "Your husband is just as good-looking as you mentioned. I think you two suit each other."

"That’s right. He’s quite tall, but is he a foreigner? He’s a bit tan. No offense. He’s handsome."

"Why did he come? Did he hear about the ridiculous rumor? I’m sorry about that, by the way."

"Come on, you guys. Stop teasing Pepsi. You’re making her uncomfortable," Mr. Yang, who had also heard about it, shook his head. When his eyes landed on Heaven, he said, "Pepsi, don’t mind them. Though I’m surprised he was able to get in without any pass. I don’t remember you asking for one."

Heaven scanned the people occupying all the seats around the long table. Almost everyone in the art department was there because of the free dinner, and all of them were looking at her with either curiosity or playfulness.

’Since when did Dominic visit me?’ she wondered to herself, knowing her husband hadn’t set foot in the company since stepping down from his position. Although he would usually wait for her in the underground parking space when he had time, Dominic had never visited her office.

"My husband hasn’t visited me," she said after some time, brows furrowed. "What are you talking about?"

Just like her, everyone furrowed their brows. What did she mean by that?

"That man earlier," said Belle curiously. "Isn’t he your husband?"

For a second, Heaven thought she had misheard her. "Who?"

"The tall and tan man who came by the office earlier today."

"Ah." Heaven’s lips parted, showing some of the food in her mouth. She raised a hand and said, "Wait," before picking up a handful of tissue to act as if throwing up.

Everyone’s faces crumpled in dismay, watching her gag with a napkin in her hand while covering her lips. From their perspective, her action at the assumptions they made was this — it disgusted her to the point she felt like throwing up. Although she did throw up the food she was chewing.

"Are you okay?" Belle asked, watching Heaven wipe the corner of her mouth.

"Am I okay?" Heaven repeated with a tinge of sarcasm. "That man isn’t my husband. He’s my brother."

"Oh..." Belle and everyone’s lips formed an O-shape, rocking their heads in understanding. Now, they understood why Heaven reacted the way she did. For siblings to be mistaken as lovers surely sounded a little uncomfortable and disgusting. Many of them had siblings, so it was easy to relate.

"I’m — I’m sorry," Belle stuttered, forcing a weird smile. "I didn’t know."

"We’re sorry too, Pepsi."

"Are you sure?"

Others also apologized for making assumptions, while some had a little bit of doubt. Although the latter were mostly those who chose to ignore Heaven despite the rumor being ’cleared’ up.

"See?" Mr. Yang shook his head, looking at everyone with dismay. "Since when did the people in the art department start making ridiculous assumptions?"

Heaven glanced at Mr. Yang and replied in her mind. ’Since the beginning?’ Just the fact that they still called her Pepsi was enough proof.

"It’s fine." Heaven cleared her throat as she sported an understanding smile. "I just didn’t expect that you’d think my husband is that guy, but I’m still glad you told me earlier. It would have been very awkward if you hadn’t."

"Our department is surely getting a lot disappointing," Mr. Yang sighed. "I guess we truly have so much time on our hands. I should give customer care a heads up that the art department can take on more work now."

"No!" Everyone answered in unison, only for Mr. Yang to snicker.

"One more rumor and I’ll have people assigning more work to your table."

Everyone frowned, unable to hide their dismay at Mr. Yang’s abuse of power. In the past, their department had been the busiest. Had he forgotten how many holidays and occasions everyone missed just because they had to meet deadlines? It was only recently that they could relax a little because Axel focused on other departments.

"Eat your food." Mr. Yang smiled at Heaven, making her feel a little nervous.

’What’s up with him?’ she wondered, squinting her eyes suspiciously. ’Is his guilt eating him?’

After working in the art department for quite some time now, Heaven already had a deep understanding of her colleagues. They were quite simple, after all. Mr. Yang, especially, was very predictable. The man had a good heart, but most of the time, the darkness in him shrouded his good nature. The only thing that couldn’t stop shining about him was his balding head.

’Well, good for me, I guess? At least, I know he’ll be good to me for a day.’ Heaven shrugged nonchalantly, snapping her eyes to her other colleagues. She casually joined the conversation, acting like normal.

As Heaven was in the middle of the conversation, her eyes fell on the stainless glass on the table. Beads of water coated its outer layer, but she could still see a table reflecting through it. The corner of her lips curled up, but then she refocused her attention on her colleagues.

Meanwhile, at one of the tables, two men were having their dinner. However, they barely touched their food as they would constantly glance at the long table in the establishment from time to time. They looked at each other and without a word, both men stood up to leave.

"She noticed," said one man to the other as they walked out of the door. "The boss was right. She’s quite sharp."
