Chapter 702: Corporate office baffling rumors

When Heaven came into the office the next day, she immediately knew something was wrong. Although it wasn’t the same awkwardness as when there was a ridiculous rumor about her, nor was it the same as when they misidentified Tiger as her husband. It was different, but somehow, she couldn’t pinpoint what it truly was.

"Hmm..." Heaven looked over the monitor screen to peek at everyone. She caught some of her co-workers looking in her direction. But instead of looking away as they should have, they flashed her their brightest smiles.

Heaven flinched as she nearly got blinded by the bright smiles she had been receiving since this morning. It all started with the guard at the entrance, greeting her with a "good morning" when he would usually focus on who goes in and out of the company. Even on her way to the art department, everyone greeted her.

This was what she meant when she said there was something wrong.

Instead of everyone avoiding her like the plague, everyone was suspiciously kind. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that if she asked for a massage, they would do it in a heartbeat.

"Just what is going on?" she murmured as she lowered her head. "Is it because they know I’m friends with Ivy?"

Heaven squinted her eyes as that was the only logical answer she had at the moment. After all, everyone in the office was too excited when they found out she had become acquainted with Ivy. They were hopeful that Heaven would complain about how the art department was ’overworked’and that Ivy would step in to help them.

’Still, they should’ve calmed down by now,’she told herself, rubbing her chin as she pondered about it. ’Or maybe it just started to sink in that I’m friends with Ivy?’

She peeked her head over the monitor again and then looked away. ’How about the other employees from the other departments? Well, considering that a woman named Marissa was fired yesterday, do they think they have to treat me extra special?’

After working in this office for months now, Heaven already knew that everyone in this place wasn’t that kind. Everyone was competitive, after all. Therefore, they would only act this way if there was a deep reason.

"I guess Ivy seems to be a good enough reason for everyone to act extra nice." She shrugged, convinced this situation had something to do with her relationship with Ivy.

"Uhm... ahem!"

Heaven snapped her eyes up as she raised her brows, turning her head to the side. The moment she did, her eyes landed on Mr. Yang, who stood by her desk.

"Pepsi." Mr. Yang sported the biggest, brightest, and fakest smile she had ever seen in her life. "Do you want coffee? I’m planning to make one, so I was thinking if you want one."

"..."

Heaven was rendered speechless for a moment as her jaw dropped. She could only stare at him blankly. What was going on? Part of Heaven’s job was to make this man coffee. There was never a time Mr. Yang had offered to make anyone coffee; he wouldn’t even bother offering coffee to other department heads.

What was going on?

"How do you want it?" he asked despite not getting any answer from her. "Less sugar, or should I add more? What milk do you prefer?"

"Black. No sugar."

"Right away!" Mr. Yang grinned and hurriedly went away to make coffee.

Heaven’s jaw dropped this time, watching her balding superior make her coffee. She blinked and blinked, shifting her attention to everyone. Much to her dismay, instead of looking shocked at Mr. Yang’s action, they were glaring at him as if judging his entire existence.

’Are they glaring at him because they’re questioning his leadership?’ she wondered to herself. ’Or is it because he offered me coffee first?’

To be honest, Heaven never had this type of headache in her life, even with Heaven and Hera’s life combined. Who would have thought that working in the corporate world would be this... baffling?

[CEO’s Office]

"What?!" Axel slammed his palms against the desk as he rose from his seat. His mouth was wide open, looking at his assistant, who delivered the news to him. "What did you just say?"

The assistant lowered his head a little and sighed. "It seems that everyone in the company is speculating that you have a woman."

"You mean someone is spreading rumors about being my girlfriend?!"

"No, Second Young Master." The assistant sighed deeply. "To be exact, a wife."

"Hah!"

"But the woman involved isn’t the one spreading the rumor," the assistant clarified before things went out of hand more than they already were. "People are saying you are already married and your secret wife is working undercover."

"..." Axel opened and closed his mouth, but his voice wouldn’t come out. When he recovered his voice, he breathed out. "This secret wife I have... which department does she work in?"

"The art department."

Axel’s heart sank the moment his assistant mentioned the art department. His slightly pink lips gradually drained of color, and he looked at his assistant lifelessly.

"Pack my things and reschedule my appointments," he breathed out. "No, actually, call Moose. Tell him I’d probably resign today."

Meanwhile, in the Zhu couple’s home, Sebastian and Gray idled in the living area.

"That’s very cool, Uncle!" Sebastian grinned from ear to ear as he looked at Gray, who was just showing him some graphs on his laptop.

A smug smirk appeared on Gray as he nodded. "Yes, that’s right. I’m the coolest uncle you will ever have!"

"Yes, yes! Uncle, can you please show me some research data about..." Sebastian took the opportunity to ask Gray to access another secret file.

"Happily!" Gray, without a second’s hesitation, agreed to impress his nephew even more. But as he stretched his fingers and Sebastian squeezed himself to his side, the two stopped. They slowly gazed up, only to see a figure storming out of the residence.

"Huh?" Gray furrowed his brows as he faced Sebastian. "Is that your dad?"

Sebastian shrugged. "I didn’t really see, but if it was, he’s probably very mad. He only walks that fast when he’s angry."

"Oh. Well." Gray rocked his head before he grinned. "At least, that means he wasn’t mad at us. Quick, let’s check the files you wanted to see."

The two excitedly turned their attention to the laptop, not interested in Dominic’s reasons or anything else.
