834 Gossip (2/2)
”Sister Xiulan is still feeling a little sick, I guess,” he answered vaguely.
Fortunately, Iris recovered rather quickly and assured everyone that she was alright. The concerned employees soon dispersed and returned to their work. Soon after, Jin Chonglin and Lin Dong also left after saying good bye.
The four friends—Iris, Dom, Long Jinjing and Chen Fei—all headed to Iris' office. As soon as the door closed, Iris headed straight to the biggest couch and made herself comfortable with her ridiculous teddy bear. Then Long Jinjing and Chen Fei watched as Dom pull out a pack of chocolates before handing it to Iris.
”You want some, too?” Dom then asked the two.
In the end, all of them ended up eating chocolates. Iris was back to her normal self, so Long Jinjing and Chen Fei didn't continue asking what was wrong with her. Dom also covered for her and distracted everyone with his usual lively chatter, so the two didn't suspect anything wrong with Iris. They figured that it must really just be her fragile health due to the after-effects from the car accident and coma acting up again.
Then all of a sudden, Iris asked Long Jinjing a point-blank question. ”Are you really together with Big Brother Zihao?”
Chen Fei's eyes popped wide open. ”Bitch, how did you know?!”
”WHAT?!!” Dom gasped out loud and looked at Long Jinjing with shock. ”Is that true?! Uwah! You go, girl! Although my own maiden heart is crying in despair that Mr. Yummylicious Big Brother Boss is taken, at least it's one of us and not some other hateful witch.”
Long Jinjing turned red and covered her face with her hands.
”You're really in a relationship with Big Brother?” Iris asked again.
Long Jinjing slowly lowered her hands before nodding.
Dom squealed and starting bouncing on his seat.
”How did you know?” Long Jinjing asked Iris. Then she remembered something. ”Oh no. Did you hear it from our employees? Are they still gossiping about what they saw this morning? This is too embarrassing!”
”Yes, I heard it from gossip,” Iris said.
It was true that Iris heard the news from gossip. However, she didn't overhear it from their employees. The truth was that she heard it from a certain gossip-loving, talkative white cat who told her mommy this morning that she saw her Uncle Haohao kissing her Auntie Jinjing inside the car in front of Orchidia Beauty. Tinted windows were not a hindrance to the powerful surveillance system of Iris' AI daughter.
