Chapter 707: Trouble

Strange things had been happening in the art department, and everyone had only just realized it. This place used to be hectic, and none of them had the time for gossip. Even if they did, they didn’t dwell on it as much as those in other departments.

Since when did these things start happening?

Right. It was at that time the new member of the board of directors was introduced. Dominic did a surprise inspection with the board of directors back then. But that was the last anyone in the art department had seen this legendary man. Even when Dominic stepped down, they didn’t see him.

So, what was the man doing in this place?

"Hey," an employee whispered to get her colleague’s attention. "What are you doing?"

"I... don’t know," the other employee was simply running her fingers on the keyboard, but her mind was drifting elsewhere. "I’m just trying my best not to get fired."

When Dominic came in here and stood in the corner of the department, everyone was forced to go back to work, even though it was still their lunch break. Many of them couldn’t focus, especially those whose monitors were displayed for Dominic to see.

"Are we in trouble?" another employee whispered to another. "He’s not the big boss anymore, but I’m scared."

"Just be quiet."

Meanwhile, others resorted to chatting with one another on their computers.

Employee 1: [Do you think it has something to do with the rumors?]

Employee 2: [Why would he come here for that?]

Employee 3: [Duh? It started in this department, and now everyone knows about it!]

Employee 4: [So, do you think it’s true? That Pepsi is the Second Young Master’s wife?!]

Employee 1: [The previous CEO likes privacy! For sure, he showed up to settle this rumor before things got out of hand!]

Employee 4: [I think it already went out of hand.]

Employee 3: [Well, it hasn’t reached the media.]

Employee 2: [Whoever spread the rumors is surely dead. OMG! Do you think Pepsi hates me?]

Employee 5: [Just go back to work. If Mister Zhu sees that you’re all just chatting, you’ll have to clean your desks.]

The chat went quiet for a moment as the four other members of the group chat looked at the fifth employee. Their eyes landed on the woman, who shrugged innocently.

Employee 5: [What? I’m just concerned. That’s all!]

The female employee shook her head and sighed. She gazed at the design on the monitor and sighed for the second time.

’Did he really come to silence everyone?’ she wondered, feeling her heart race nervously. ’We shouldn’t have said anything.’

The female employee gazed at a male employee, who, coincidentally, was looking in her direction. Regret flickered across their eyes as they looked away from each other. That was right. They shouldn’t have said anything. After all, Heaven and the CEO of the Lyon Group didn’t see them fooling around in Mister Yang’s office last night.

’I shouldn’t have let him seduce me while Pepsi was still here,’she thought, wincing as she shook her head. ’It was a quick thrill, but now I’m just stressed.’

Meanwhile...

"Mister Zhu, do you want any beverages?" Mister Yang, who couldn’t sit still in his office, went out to approach Dominic. He nervously rubbed his hands together, smiling awkwardly at Dominic. "Or do you want a chair? You can sit in my office."

Dominic slowly slid his eyes to Mister Yang, making the latter gulp a mouthful. "Black. No sugar."

"Oh... right away!" Mister Yang let out a nervous laugh before he turned around to make him a cup of coffee.

Just like everyone, Mister Yang was very nervous about the current situation. And just like everyone, he also guessed this had something to do with the rumor involving the Second Young Master Zhu.

In retrospect, this was not the first rumor that a Zhu family member got involved in. During Dominic’s tenure, countless rumors also circulated around him. There were all sorts of rumors about him, including dating rumors. There was even a time when people mistook Paula Shen as his mystery wife because Dominic obviously favored the woman.

It was unfortunate Paula was in jail now. But that summed up everything.

Even so, Dominic never went beyond and above just to clear up any rumors about him. If anything, he didn’t care. People didn’t even know if he knew about them. Either way, it was still common knowledge that Dominic would only step in if it involved his family. In simple words, he wouldn’t care if it was him, but it was different if his family was involved in something.

"Mister Zhu..." After a few minutes, Mister Yang returned with a cup of coffee placed on a saucer. "Here’s your coffee."

"Thank you." Dominic leisurely took the cup of coffee and guided it in front of his lips. He sniffed the steam for a second before blowing on it, taking a slight sip just to taste it. "It’s good."

"Hehe. I did my very best to make it."

Those who got wind of Mister Yang’s answer couldn’t help but glance at the man. What did he mean by doing his best? Doing his best in pressing a button while he waited for the coffee machine to fill up the cup? Moreover, their errand girl was the last person who refilled the coffee maker machine because she had nothing else to do.

"Uhm..." Mister Yang cleared his throat while Dominic enjoyed the cup of coffee. "Mister Zhu, do you mind if I ask what the purpose of your visit is ?"

Dominic glanced at the man, and on instinct, Mister Yang gulped and shuddered. "No, I don’t mind. I came because a ridiculous rumor reached my radar."

Mister Yang and everyone froze on the spot. Dominic’s voice was cool and quiet, but somehow, it echoed across all corners of the art department. All they could do for a moment was stop from doing their work to stare at the man in a daze.

Yes, that meant they were all in trouble.

As silence slowly filled the art department after Dominic’s monotonous remarks, everyone heard voices approaching the office. They slowly shifted their eyes at the entrance, only to see Belle and Heaven coming in.
