Chapter 22 Gossip (2/2)

Darren stood up from the sofa and grabbed Amanda's hand as he walked past her.

Caught off guard, Amanda bumped her nose into Darren's back. ”Hey, let me go. I can walk by myself.” she screamed, covering her nose.

Darren directly shook off her hand as if she was something unclean.

Amanda suddenly felt her belly hurt, then she turned around and went to the ladies' room.

”Wow, when did our company become so bustling?” A few female employees went into the washroom and discussed heatedly.

”Mr. Darren is going to hold a press conference, right?” Someone covered her mouth and laughed, ”I don't know how it is going to be like.”

”Of course no other option. It must be Mrs. An who came out to clarify the misunderstanding.”

”What kind of misunderstanding is it? She is just a stranger who doesn't know the truth. If I were her, I would definitely want to bump my head into the wall. My husband slept another woman and she has to deal with the aftermath.”

”She is just a cheap wife. No one would take her seriously. Maybe she will come in handy this time and get a better reward.”

It was hard to believe that these kind of gossip ladies could be a big source of gossip. Amanda was intrigued by them. She was about to stand up, but then she sat down again.

As expected, they started a second round of discussion.

”It's strange though. Didn't Mr. Lionel plan to go abroad this month? Why did he take over a new company?” Someone said.

”Maybe Mr. Lionel has a brilliant brain. It's very profitable for running film business, and he can easily take one or two good scripts and make some new actors popular. It will makes big profits with a small capital.”

”Argh!” Someone cut in and said in a low voice, ”What do you think the relationship between Mr. Lionel and Amanda? We all know that Mr. Darren doesn't like her. After all, Mr. Lionel helped her a lot in the studio last time, and made her his secretary.”

”Who knows? What do you think of a man being nice to a woman? Let's stop guessing.”

While saying that, the girls began to laugh, as if they had guessed out a shocking secret.

Amanda was tired. They didn't continue, so she opened the door and came out.

Those women's expression changed a lot when they saw her. Amanda was recalling their expressions, while walking to the reception room unconsciously.

At the door of the reception room, Sophie was looking around anxiously, and trotted over with eight centimeters high heels when she saw Amanda. No wonder she was the special assistant.

Sophie hold Amanda and said with a smile, ”We are waiting for you. You can come in now.”

To her surprise, Sophie didn't get mad at her. Amanda thought she would be scolded. After all, everyone in the company could curse her as they liked. She didn't mind, and no one would mind.

Sophie was not an ordinary woman for sure.

When Amanda walked into the reception room, she heard a reporter asking Darren, ”Didn't you say Mrs. An was here already? Why hasn't she show up now?”

The person in charge of hosting said, ”Mrs. An will be here soon. Please wait for a moment.”

When Amanda came into the room, someone noticed her. But since she was in unnoticeable outfit, a guard stopped her when she was about to get on the stage, ”I'm sorry. No one is allowed to get on the stage. Please return to your seat.”
