Chapter 51: Narcissistic Person
When Suzanne drove the sports car arrived at the company, she naturally attracted a lot of attention.
After parking the car in the parking lot, she went upstairs with Nancy. As soon as they arrived at the office, several colleagues surrounded them with smiles and curiosity.
“Suzanne, your sports car is so beautiful. What brand is it?”Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
“I saw a man driving this car to pick you up yesterday. Is he your boyfriend?”
“If you’re free, can I have a ride with you? I haven’t driven a sports car yet!”
Having been working in the same office for so long, Suzanne had never known that her colleagues had such a passionate side. They were all very gossipy and never stopped talking.
Towards these various questions, she only smiled faintly. “No, it’s just my friend’s car.”
“What kind of friend? How could he drive a sports car for you so gallantly?” A colleague said. “If he is your boyfriend, just put it bluntly. We will be happy for you if we know that you have such a rich boyfriend!”
Suzanne smiled and thought, “Why would I tell you if I have a boyfriend or not? Aren’t you being too nosy?”
“I heard it was the young master of the Follette’s family. Is it true?” The female colleague standing next to Nancy asked in a low voice. She was very curious. “Was it him who picked you up yesterday?”
“Really? I saw Suzanne with a man at the mall nearby yesterday. They seemed to be buying groceries and they even drove away together. Was that man Myron Follette?”
Someone said so, and everyone began to discuss it. They were so gossipy and even blamed Suzanne for not telling them she had such a rich boyfriend. At least she would give out sweets to them.
“You guys are so gossipy!” Nancy complained. “That’s not your boyfriend, so why are you guys discussing so intensely? It’s impossible for him to be your boyfriend no matter how much you discuss!”
“We’re just saying!” A colleague pushed Nancy. “Why are you so stingy? Don’t let people talk about it.”
Suzanne patted Nancy’s shoulder, indicating that she should stop talking so as not to make them more gossipy. She went straight back to her desk.
Nancy pouted and didn’t say anything. She obediently returned to her desk.
The news that Suzanne’s boyfriend was the young master of the Follette’s family spread throughout the TV station in less than one morning.
Everyone was discussing in groups. Some were envious, some were jealous, and most were curious about how she got to know Myron. In private, they were all wondering if she had seduced that young master of the Follette’s family.
Soon, the news reached the president’s ears in the afternoon.
The president called Suzanne to his office and warmly invited her to sit down. He made tea and asked her with a smile, “Have you been busy with work recently? Would you like to take a week off?”
Suzanne was a little confused. The president was a race against time. He actually wanted to arrange a vacation for her so that she couldn’t react in time.
“Well, I want to buy a house for my youngest son at Imperial Lake.” The president chuckled. He was a little fat and his face was moonfaced. When he smiled, he looked like Maitreya.
Suzanne paused for a moment and then understood.
The land of Imperial Lake was contracted and developed by the Follette’s family. Over the past ten years, they had built a villa area around the lake. The housing prices rose year after year, but there were still people would like to buy. Almost all the villas were sold out.
The president wanted to buy a villa in Imperial Lake with her relationship with Myron.
“Don’t worry, the house price will be as much as it should be. I won’t lower it.” The president saw that Suzanne seemed to understand what he meant, so he quickly said, “Can you discuss it with your boyfriend?”
Suzanne was very embarrassed, but politely refused. “Mr. Hook, Myron and I are just friends. Don’t trust their gossip. I borrowed the car from him. It’s just for fun.”
“I see, I see.” The president continued to smile as if he had understood. “You’re young!”
Suzanne could only smile as well, unable to come up with an explanation.
“Suzanne, you haven’t been on vacation for a long time, have you?” The president poured himself a cup of tea and said casually, “How about this? I’ll give you half a month’s vacation. You can go out and have fun.”
“So good?” Suzanne was stunned. The annual paid leave had only half a month, and the president was giving her half-month paid time off?
“Yes, it’s good, isn’t it?” The president nodded and smiled like a flower. “Your foreign language is good. You would have fun wherever you go. Whether the plane tickets or accommodation expenses, take them all back to the company and recoup them!”
Suzanne felt a little dizzy from the benefits. It had been a long time since she had gone out to have fun.
“Young people, you guys should go out more.” Seeing Suzanne’s hesitation, the president encouraged her. “It doesn’t matter if you run into something fun and don’t want to come back soon, I’ll give you a few more days off!”
Suzanne steadied herself and smiled. “Mr. Hook, traveling alone is boring.”
The president knew what she meant. He immediately patted his leg and said indifferently, “It’s okay, it’s okay. Then go with that Tiny named Nana……whatever. The company will reimburse you for all your expenses!”
“Mr. Hook, her name is Nancy.” Suzanne smiled.
Nancy was a little shorter than her. Because she looked lovely so she looked like a high school student at 22 years old. She was always being pinched. Not only the president but also the director felt that she was like Tiny.
The president waved his hand. There were so many people in the seven or eight departments. Wouldn’t it be tiring for him to remember all their names?
“Suzanne, then please ask him for me.”
Just as Suzanne was about to answer, the phone next to her vibrated.
She glanced at the incoming ID. What a coincidence, she didn’t even have to worry about it. “It doesn’t need me to ask for you. He’s already here.”
The president was shocked. “Really? Hurry up and invite him up. Or we can find a place to talk.”
“Don’t bother. He probably won’t stay for long.” Suzanne stopped the president from standing up. She knew Myron well. If he greeted people like the president, he would usually leave in less than three minutes.
She went downstairs to receive Myron at the front desk.
This guy was wearing a black and white plaid shirt, the sleeves were rolled up, and the lower was a pair of pan-white jeans with white sneakers. With a pair of amorous eyes and a snicker, he totally looked like a playboy.
“Baby!” Myron approached her with a smile and opened his arms to hug her.
Seeing that there weren’t many people in the hall, Suzanne kicked him and cursed in a low voice, “This is my workplace. Be more restrained, or I’ll send your sports car to the lake.”
“It doesn’t matter!” Myron rubbed his lower lip with his thumb and smiled evilly. “How is it? Is my sports car comfortable? Are you addicted?”
Suzanne groaned and tugged at his sleeve, pulling him to the elevator.
“Do you need me to follow you to get the car key?”
Myron raised his eyebrows. Seeing the elevator door open, he followed Suzanne inside. He stretched out his big hand and put it directly on her shoulder with a chuckle. “Baby, do you want to introduce me to your colleagues?”
