Chapter 703: What is it this time?

[Lyon Group: Art Department]

"Hey."

Belle peeled her eyes from the monitor screen when someone knocked on her desk. She turned her head to see Heaven standing on her side with a big smile.

"It’s lunchtime," said Heaven. "Want to eat together?"

"Uh..." Hesitation crossed Belle’s eyes before she forced a smile. "Sure. Give me five minutes. I’ll just submit this document."

"Sure."

Heaven nodded while Belle resumed her work. She studied the latter for a while before a shallow breath slipped past her lips.

’Even Belle feels a little awkward. I wonder what happened?’Heaven mentally shrugged as she walked back to her desk. She simply sat there with nothing else to do because everyone was treating her like their literal boss. Even Mister Yang wasn’t yelling her name for some errands.

If Heaven had a more spare conscience, she would feel sorry for Axel. She hadn’t been doing anything and yet, she was being paid.

’I shouldn’t have finished that extra work yesterday. Now, time just feels like it’s moving slower than ever.’ Another deep exhale slipped past her lips, waiting for Belle to finish her work. Belle only took a little over two minutes to return to her desk, but for her, those two minutes felt like two hours.

"Belle, tell me the truth." Heaven didn’t beat around the bush as she spoke the moment they sat down in the cafeteria. "What’s going on?"

Belle raised her brows, looking at the woman sitting across from her.

"I know something’s off," Heaven continued and sighed deeply. "Is this about Miss Wei?"

"Uh..." Belle bit her bottom lip and slowly closed her eyes as she sighed. When she reopened her eyes, the hesitation in her eyes was evident. "No, Pepsi."

"No? Then, what? If this isn’t about Miss Wei, why is everyone being so overly nice to me since this morning?" Heaven inquired. "Don’t lie to me, Belle. I know it’s weird. Just the fact that Mister Yang made me coffee is beyond weird."

She paused and leaned forward. "Please tell me. What kind of rumor is it this time?"

"Pepsi, it’s about..."

[Art Department]

"Goodness! Is this really true?" a male employee looked at another male employee with genuine bafflement. "Is Pepsi... dating the Second Young Master Zhu?"

"I think so! According to the source, they saw them together at night. The CEO himself fetched her and even carried her things. Why do you think he would do that?" The other male employee replied in a knowing tone.

"How about Pepsi’s husband?" Another colleague who overheard them joined in. "Didn’t she say she has a husband? Are you saying the Second Young Master Zhu is a mistress?"

"Seriously?" another female employee chimed in. "Do you really think the Second Young Master will stoop so low?"

"You’re right..." Someone in the office nodded while rubbing her chin. "No matter how beautiful Pepsi was, there’s no way a member of the Zhu family would want to be a mistress. If anything, Pepsi will probably divorce her husband to be with him. But then again, I don’t think the Zhu family will accept a divorcee to marry the Second Young Master."

The female employee who spoke earlier rolled her eyes. "Guys, you’re missing the point here."

Everyone eagerly looked at her, waiting for her conclusion about the shocking rumor about their errand girl.

"Had it never crossed your minds that Pepsi was lying all along?" She began when everyone’s undivided attention was on her. "I mean, she might not be lying about being married, but she might be lying about her husband. From what I heard, the person who saw them heard them talking about living in the same home."

The woman glanced at one of the male employees for a second before setting her attention back to the rest. "Haven’t you noticed? Pepsi said she had a car, but no one had ever seen her riding or driving one. Moreover, there were times she seemed to go into the underground parking space but changed her mind when one of her colleagues sees her on the way. Not to mention, everything she wears is worth a fortune. I checked her outfit the other day, and it costs more than ten people’s paychecks for an entire month."

"What are you implying?" Much to their surprise, Mister Yang, who had just come out of his office, chimed in. He curiously walked to the group that remained in the office, leaning against a random desk. "Are you saying Pepsi’s husband is the Second Young Master Zhu?"

"Well..."

"How can that be?" Before the female employee could state her conclusion, Mister Yang spoke again. "If the Second Young Master Zhu were married, I think it would be announced to everyone."

"But Mister Yang, we all know that the Zhu Family values their privacy." Another employee argued quietly. "Even the previous CEO Zhu didn’t announce his marriage. Everyone found out during a conference when he had to leave because his son was running a fever. No one in that room knew he was already married and had a son."

"Oh..." Mister Yang nodded as he remembered that time. He was there, and he was one of those who was flabbergasted at Dominic’s casual excuse for going home early.

"That’s right." The female employee who was speaking earlier sighed. "If you think about it, Pepsi’s stories don’t match at times. Sometimes, she would say she needed money but then forget about her salary altogether. She’s also quite sophisticated at times, which makes you wonder if she truly comes from humble beginnings. Not to mention, she sometimes has no idea what is expensive and what is not."

"So, all along, we’ve been letting our second young madam do errands?" One of them raised his concern, and then silence instantly reigned in the office.

Everyone cast their eyes down, reflecting on everything they had done to their errand girl. Most of them cringed at certain memories they had of Heaven, while others simply wondered if the tasks they had assigned to her were a bit too much.

"So what if she’s the wife of the CEO?" Everyone slowly turned their heads in Mister Yang’s direction. "She works in the art department as the errand girl! We just made her do what we expected her to do. It’s her fault that she didn’t say who her husband was!"

Mister Yang’s eyebrows rose as he scanned everyone’s expressions. His mouth quivered as he nervously pointed at himself.

"Do you think I might get fired soon?"

Everyone slowly nodded. Compared to their offenses, Mister Yang’s attitude toward their errand girl was way worse.
