Chapter 743
Spoiled by Mr. Russell
Rose was stunned because her boss smiled meaningfully at that.
âDid it mean something was going on or was it just a sweet smile? Also, itâs hard not to wonder about the plans Lilyâs supposed to have.
What could they be?â Rose arrived at the HR department carrying the resignation letter and many unanswered questions.
"Mr.Russell approved it?"
The HR employees were surprised.
"Looks like Mr.Russell knew about this, and they talked about it."
"Still, things were looking up for Lily, and the company was planning to make her the chief perfumer.Why quit now? What for?"
"What's so great about being a chief perfumer? Didnât you guys forget that sheâs the future wife of our CEO?"
Someone interjected.
"Oh, yeah! That means Lily has quit the job to marry him, then?"
Since it was a slow day at the HR department and this titillating gossip involved their boss, everyone felt compelled to join in.
Someone raised her hand and said, "Oh, please! Iâm telling you, according to the rumor Iâve heard, Mr.Russell and Ms.Christian already got their marriage certificate in secret.The wedding ceremony means nothing.Itâs possible that sheâs already pregnant, so she wishes to go home and rest."
"For real? This is good stuff!"
Rose was so shocked that she hardly moved a step.She was a trained secretary, so she knew it was improper to gossip about her boss.
However, she could not help but listen in on the discussions around her.
"I donât know if itâs real, but I think itâs very plausible.Just imagine how cozy your life will get as our bossâ wife.
Why bother to work hard? Just think.
Ever since Ms.Christian joined Rebirth, there has been one controversy after another, and the news about her just keeps getting more explosive.
Now that the Perfumersâ Society wishes to put her under investigation, she might as well save herself the trouble and quit her job."
The theory rang through most of them, who nodded almost in unison.
"Youâre right! If I were her, Iâd resign too."
"Keep dreaming! Weâre not born to be the wives of CEOs."
"Rose, whatâs with you? Donât tell Mr.Russell what we said, okay?"
Seeing her in a daze, someone nudged her and asked in a panic.
Catching herself, Rose smiled.
"Hey.If youâre that worried, then do less chatting and get to work.We should work harder since we were not born to be CEOs' wives, right?"
She turned and headed out.She had no idea that workplace gossip always spread the fastest.
The rumor that âLily has quit because sheâs pregnantâ spread around the company in less than 24 hours.
"what?"
When Lily heard about the rumor, she was having tea in Jennyâs office while waiting for updates about her resignation.
The resignation process was supposed to be simple.
Once the supervisor approved it, Mr.Will from Rebirth would approve, seeing that she was just a new employee there.
However, her resignation letter was passed to the higher-ups due to who she was, and she waited in the office for almost half a day.
"where did the rumor start?"
Having learned that her resignation had been approved, Lily stretched herself and was about to take a sip of tea when she heard about the gossip.
Jenny eyed Lilyâs tummy meaningfully.
"Are you really..."
