“Okay, I will call you the minute I finish dinner. You can come and pick me up after that.”
After chatting a little more, she hung up the phone and went in.
Lina saw her sit down across from her, the corners of her lips curving up in a smile. “Talking on the phone with your boyfriend?”
“No, it was my husband.”
Rosiley lifted the pitcher and poured glasses of water for Lina and herself. She did not realize what shock her casual remark had caused to Lina’s heart.
She’s actually married?!
Lina looked at her, knitting her brows. She asked very incredulously, “You’re married?”
Rosiley nodded. “Yes, I’ve been married for quite some time now.”
She had not intended to hide the fact that she was married. She was just letting nature take its course. Those who had to would know eventually.
So before Lina, she very candidly admitted to the fact.
But… Lina seemed very surprised!
So she smiled and asked, “Manager Li, do you find that incredible?”
“Yes. I had always thought you and CEO Shen were a couple… ” As soon as the words left her mouth, Lina realized she had said something wrong. She immediately explained. “Rumors are rife in the company. I thought they were true.”
After all, ever since CEO Shen had started work at the company, the shrewder employees could sense that he had been helping Rosiley all along. Who else but a boyfriend would do so much to help a woman?
And, just now, she had also seen Morphy deliberately stop his car to offer Xiao a ride home.
Rosiley smiled indifferently. “It’s okay. I’ve heard those rumors myself.”
Although Lonny had been dismissed by the company, gossipmongers like her still worked in the Media Department. They had definitely spread these rumors.
After hearing so much, she was already immune to them!
Looking at her casually indifferent face, Lina could not help but chuckle. “I have indeed found the right person. You’re a very smart girl. You won’t get upset by those silly rumors and let them affect your work.”
Rosiley knew Lina thought highly of her, and she felt somewhat pleased with herself. But on the surface, she maintained her humble front. “Compared to you, Manager, I’m still not good enough.”
The smile on Lina’s face intensified when she said that. “since when have you learned how to suck up to your superiors?”
“Am I sucking up to you?” Rosiley blinked innocently. “I am just telling the truth. I don’t accept your rebuttal.”
The two of them looked at each other and smiled. They both felt that their relationship had taken a few steps forward.
Lina raised her tea cup and took a little sip. She thought for a moment and then asked, “What’s your relationship with CEO Shen, then?”
This was the biggest question that had been bothering her.
“Well… ” Rosiley chose her words carefully. “We’re closer than friends. More like kin.”
She did not want to reveal that Morphy was her husband’s younger cousin. Otherwise, Lina would surely guess Sachin’s identity.
“What about CEO Lu?” Lina asked again.
There were rumors of Rosiley and Morphy in the company, and also rumors of her being with Corey.
“It’s the same with him.” Rosiley took a sip of tea and said helplessly, “Once such rumors spread, they get more and more ridiculous.”
For instance, someone had claimed that she was both Morphy and Corey’s lover.
She wanted to know who had been spreading such baseless and outrageous rumors and make that person eat shit.
Rumormongers who talked shit were the most annoying!
“We have too many loafers in the company, so that means we have many gossips as well.” Lina pouted her lower lip. “Anyway, the innocent need not explain themselves.”
“True indeed! Arguing with idiots makes one a fool also.”
The two looked at each other and smiled again. At this moment, the waiter came up to serve the dishes. So they stopped their casual chat.
