"Stop it! You all don't even know what actually happened, yet you all are simply discussing it. Do you
guys have nothing else to do?"
Lisa's voice sounded from the pantry.
"Lisa, are you still speaking for Carolie? Look at her. She had been missing for several months after
coming here for the first time and this time she got in with her privilege, and now such a thing
happened."
"Yes, I think that it's probably true."
Perhaps everyone wanted to believe that this matter was true.
"Whether it is true or not, does it have anything to do with you? President Holland could manage such
a big company. How can he not understand his own wife? You're all better than him, aren't you?"
Lisa was reprimanding those colleagues.
When Coralie heard this, she was deeply grateful towards Lisa.
"Okay, okay. We won't talk about it anymore."
One colleague finished brewing her coffee and came out. She happened to see Coralie standing at the
door and she was stunned for a while, but she immediately glared at her and left.
After that, several other colleagues also came out from the pantry.
They all saw Coralie and just looked at her angrily and left. Only one of them forced a smile at her.
Coralie was really troubled when she saw them being like this. She didn't know how to speak for
herself.
"Come in, what are you doing standing out there?"
Lisa knew that Coralie was outside, and spoke.
"Lisa, thank you for speaking up for me just now."
Coralie held her cup with both hands like a child who had made a mistake.
Lisa helplessly shook her head when she saw her. "I just don't care about those things. Work is work.
Private life is private life. It's fine as long as your work is not affected."
"Alright."
Coralie poured the coffee.
Lisa stood next to her, she then thought for a moment, and said, "Coralie, I don't think you are
extremely beautiful, but you actually have quite a few admirers."
"I don't!"
Coralie hurriedly explained for herself. Besides, she didn't need those admirers!
"Alas, last time, there was Leonardo Watson, Skylar Holland, and this ex-husband of yours. Apart from
your ex-husband, the other two men are quite decent."
Lisa had always been single. Although she was not interested in men, Coralie, who had been chased Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
by a few big shots was still quite a rare thing for her.
"No, I've known Leonardo for quite some time, didn't I tell you about that? Let alone this ex-husband. I
caught him in bed having an affair. After the divorce, seeing that I was with Skylar, he then got
envious."
Perhaps it was the good impression she had for Lisa as she spoke up for her earlier, so Coralie told her
about it unconsciously.
"It wasn't easy for you too." Lisa shook her head. "Marriage is the most important thing in a woman's
whole life. You can restart your business. As for marriage, even if you get a divorce, you will still have
to face critics for a lifetime. That's why I didn't dare to get married."
Coralie thought about it and realized that Howard wasn't like that in the past.
He had been very nice to her when they were in university. Otherwise, she wouldn't have married him.
"Coralie, the boss is looking for you."
While Coralie and Lisa were chatting in the pantry, a colleague ran over to pass on the message to her.
Hearing this, Coralie could not help but feel a little nervous. She had never seen this boss since she
came to Togsom Accounting Firm. She had no rights as well to attend meetings with the boss.
"Go ahead, he won't eat you up." Lisa took the coffee cup from Coralie's hand. "I'll help you bring this
back to the office. You should head over."
Coralie knew that she couldn't run away from it. She then nodded and headed towards Mr. Chaplin's
office, feeling nervous.
"Knock knock."
"Come in."
Coralie knocked carefully on the door first. When she heard the voice from inside, only then did she
dare to push the door open and enter.
Togsom Accounting Firm's boss was called Thomson Chaplin, and he was about 40 years old. Perhaps
it was because he had worked in the women-dominated finance industry for quite some time, but he
was also quite feminine.
"Mr. Chaplin."
After entering, Coralie greeted Mr. Chaplin and stood at the door, not daring to move an inch.
Thomson lowered his head and took a sip of his tea. After taking a sip, he pointed to the chair in front
of him and said, "Have a seat."
"Sure, Mr. Chaplin."
In fact, Coralie was still more willing to stand there. After all, she knew that there was no good thing for
Mr. Chaplin, such a busy man to look for her.
She hesitated for a moment, and sat down.
"Coralie, you're quite popular recently. You're on the headlines of the Saturday's newspapers and
magazines."
"Mr. Chaplin, it's not like that. Please, let me explain. It's my..."
Coralie thought that at least she should explain to Thomson first, otherwise, she would certainly not be
able to work here in the future.
"It's fine, no need to explain, I don't care about it." Thomson shook his fingers. "I just wanted to tell you
that I will allow you to be on leave for a while."
"Ah? Mr. Chaplin, don't. I..."
Coralie felt that her mother would definitely be suspicious of it if she was on leave.
It was all owing to Hera not watching the TV nor paying attention to the news recently. Otherwise, if she
knew about the incident, she would certainly suffer from a heart attack.
"Don't worry!" Thomson looked at Coralie, who was in a hurry to explain herself, and was a little
unhappy. "I just wanted to give you a break as a holiday. Your salary is still the same. You can take a
rest and stay away from all this trouble."
......
Coralie knew that Thomson had made up his mind.
"Now, the company is full of rumors about you, and your colleagues also have misunderstood you. You
won't be able to work in such an environment, can you?"
Thomson saw that Coralie lowered her head and seemed to be very stressed about it, so he just told
her the truth.
"Mr. Chaplin, when can I come back to work?"
This was what Coralie was concerned about. Thomson said that she would be given a holiday and he
didn't tell her when she should come back. She was afraid that he didn't intend to let her come back to
work.
"Mrs. Holland, you are Mrs. Holland. You certainly don't lack such a small amount of your salary, do
you?" Thomson looked at Coralie and shook his head. "As for coming back, we have to consider it
carefully. But when the matter calms down, I will definitely let you come back."
"I see. Okay then."
"You can pack up your things. You don't have to come in tomorrow," Thomson said while drinking his
tea. "Of course, if you want to leave today, you can do so as well."
He held the teacup, and his little finger was poked up high in a feminine manner.
It could be seen that he was in a good mood after telling Coralie this.
Coralie came out of Thomson's office and started packing up her things.
"What's wrong? What did he say?"
Lisa was not busy and she saw Coralie coming back with a sullen face.
"The boss gave me an unlimited period of leave."
It was an unpleasant thing for Coralie, but it made Lisa's eyes blink when she heard that.
"What? An unlimited period of leave? How about your salary?"
"It's still the same."
"Heavens, why isn't such a good thing happening to me!" Lisa was filled with envy and jealousy. "I've
been dreaming every day of being able to get a few months off with a paid salary. Twenty days of
annual leave isn't even enough for me to roam around in one country! I'm now alive to make money yet
I don't have the time to spend it!"
"Lisa, I feel that Mr. Chaplin actually wants to get rid of me. He just didn't say it directly."
"Don't bother about that. Why don't you take the money and go sightseeing?" Halfway through her
sentence, Lisa seemed to realize something as she added, "No, your husband is so rich. Even if you
don't work, you'll still have the money to travel around."
"Forget it, Lisa. I'll pack up my things later. I won't be coming in tomorrow."
After Coralie's identity was exposed, everyone's attitude towards her had changed. Even Lisa, who
knew about Skylar's and Coralie's relationship in the past, had changed as well.
"Ok."
Lisa made an 'OK' gesture.
The other people in the office had all gone on business trips or meetings so only Lisa and Coralie were
there. However, this was also a good thing for them. If the others were still here, they would surely
criticize Coralie again.
