“Uh …” Christine White stiffened and rushed to make an excuse, “I heard about it.”
“That’s right, your husband is friends with President Lane, so it’s normal for you to hear about it.” Debby York nodded, not suspecting anything.
Christine White exhaled softly, smiled dryly, and said no more.
Debby York, however, suddenly got excited, “By the way Christine, let me tell you a secret about President Lane, you know? Our whole company is abuzz today, President Lane is actually wearing a ring, a ring!”
“What’s wrong with the ring?” Christine White was unimpressed.
How normal to wear a ring.
Debby York rolled her eyes, “You haven’t gotten the point, I’m saying that he’s wearing a ring on his left ring finger and it’s a wedding ring, which means what, it means that President Lane is actually married!”
Christine White sniffed, her heart and mind shook fiercely, and her entire body was stunned in place.
Baird Lane he’s wearing a wedding ring?
When was this?
“Debby .” Christine White asked with urgency as her hands gripped the phone tightly, “Are you sure you’re clear that that’s the wedding ring and not some other ring?”
Debby York was getting a little upset, “Christine, are you doubting my vision? I’m pretty sure that’s the wedding ring.”
“I can’t believe it’s true …” Christine White murmured.
After three years of marriage, the wedding ring was never worn only by her.
Baird Lane, on the other hand, never wore it, and now he’s actually wearing it.
She hadn’t even seen anything on his finger yesterday, so it was obvious that the ring had been put on by him only this morning, but why was he wearing it? Was it to tell everyone that he was married?
Just as Christine White’s mind was in turmoil and she kept speculating about the reason why Baird Lane was wearing a ring, Debby York spoke again, “Of course it’s true, can it be fake, but this is so surprising, President Lane actually got married, but when did he get married, when did he get married, and when did he get married? There was no news at all before.”
Christine White lowered her head and mentally returned, Of course it was three years ago.
“By the way Christine, your husband is good friends with President Lane, so he should know, right, why don’t you ask your husband and ask him if President Lane is really married or if he has a fiancée before he wears a wedding ring?” Debby York suddenly suggested.
Christine White pulled the corner of her mouth, “Debby , or forget it, this kind of is other people’s private matters, how can I go to talk to my husband, and then again, no matter whether President Lane is really married, or a fake marriage, it has nothing to do with us, gossip even if, in-depth understanding is not necessary. ”
“You’re right too.” Debby York thought for a moment and nodded in agreement, but then she got up mysteriously, “Christine, one more thing, I noticed something familiar about that wedding ring of President Lane’s, as if I’ve seen the corresponding women’s ring somewhere.”
At those words, Christine White’s heart thumped and her voice stuttered, “Eye … Eyes familiar?”
“Well, when President Lane came to the planning department this morning to check on him, I made a point of looking at him more because I was surprised that he was wearing a ring, and the first thing that struck me at the time was that it looked familiar, I always felt like I’d seen it somewhere, but I just couldn’t remember.” Debby York said, tapping her head.
Christine White hastily snorted, “That’s probably the same model of some kind of ring you’ve seen by chance.”
“No way!” Debby York immediately rejected her words, “President Lane this kind of value of people, will never buy the same type of ring with people, they are looking for designers to specialize in design, so the ring on his hand should be unique in the world, but it is such a unique ring but it makes me feel familiar, so I suspect … ”
“What do you suspect?” Christine White looked nervous.
Debby York rubbed her chin with a look of certainty and said, “I doubt I’ve ever met President Lane’s wife or fiancée, but as to where, that I don’t know, it’s possible that, as you just said, it was a chance meeting.”
Christine White breathed a faintly inaccessible sigh of relief at hearing this.
Luckily, there was no suspicion on her.
Christine White looked completely relaxed and patted her chest gently, “It could be, well, enough about that, if President Lane is really married or has a fiancée, it should be made public someday, and then you’ll know who you’ve seen that female ring from. ”
“You’re right, I was the one who took the bull by the horns.” Debby York smiled.
Christine White hmmmed, “By the way, I have good news for you.”
“What’s the good news?” Debby York came to attention.
Christine White’s smile deepened, “In the future, ah, we’re going to work together again, and in a couple days, I’m going to work at the headquarters of The Lane Family Group as well.”
“Really?” Debby York was pleasantly surprised.
Christine White nodded, “It’s true.”
“So … So you’re still working as President Lane’s secretary?” Debby York pressed.
Christine White hesitantly returned, “Not sure, we’ll see when the time comes, but I’d prefer to be in a department with you than be his secretary.”
“It doesn’t matter if we’re in the same department or not, what matters is that we get to see each other every day again.” Debby York was already jumping up and down with excitement on the other end of the line, “I’m so happy Christine, how in the world did you get back?”
“You forget that my husband is friends with President Lane.” Christine White sputtered without changing her face.
Debby York tapped her head, “Oh yeah, look at my brain.”
“Oh.” Christine White lost her smile and shook her head, adding, “Also, about you being transferred to the headquarters to practice, I also let my husband ask about it, President Lane is not secretly in love with you, he is thinking that you are still good at your job, so this is kind of a special recruitment for you.”
“I told you.” Debby York sniffed, finally putting her heart at ease, but soon she was grinning broadly again, “Christine, do you think if President Lane really does have a crush on me, I should just go along with it?”
Christine White rolled her eyes, “You’re overthinking it, didn’t you just say he was married.”
“Aiya, I’m just joking with you, okay, you hurry up and go out, I’ll wait for you at Donghua Mall.”
“Uh, yeah.”
Hanging up the phone, Christine White glanced at the time, then stretched and went to pack up and head out the door.
This stroll took several hours, and by the time she returned, she was so tired that she could hardly stand.
Aunt Lucy came to the apartment at some point, and was taken aback to see her walk into the living room on wobbly feet, “Ma’am, what’s wrong with you?”
Christine White looked at her bitterly, “I’m fine.”
“Still saying you’re fine, your face is white, is it somewhere uncomfortable?” Aunt Lucy hurriedly helped her to sit down on the sofa, followed by pouring her a glass of water.
After Christine White drank the water, the person was finally much more comfortable, “Aunt Lucy, don’t worry, I’m really fine, I’ve just been out shopping for too long and I can’t hold it up a bit.”
Debby York is much more capable of shopping than she thought.
The last time she went shopping, it was only for two hours, this time it was at least five hours, after walking for so long, her legs had long been as heavy and sore as lead.
After listening to Christine White’s explanation, Aunt Lucy was relieved and at the same time a little reproachful, “Ma’am, your health is not good, don’t stroll for so long in the future, in case something happens …”
“Okay Aunt Lucy,” Christine White interrupted her, “I have a point.”
“You!” Aunt Lucy nodded her brow, bemused.
Christine White poked her tongue out, “Is Aunt Lucy mad?”
“No.” Aunt Lucy shook her head slightly, then thought of something and took a business card out of the pocket of her apron, “Ma’am, this is for you.”
“What’s this?” Christine White picked it up, staring blankly at the unfamiliar name and unfamiliar number on it.
