A moment of rumination later, the coworker proceeded to say, “But you're impressive. You even won over an A-list actress like Marilyn!”
When the other people heard the two talking about the recent news, they moved over to gossip as well.
Their admiration for Harold was visible on their faces.
Harold looked at his coworkers as if they were idiots and said, “Are you silly? If I'm in a good relationship with someone like Marilyn, will I still be working a nine-to-five job now? It's so obvious that someone else edited the photos and videos. Can't you see it?” Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
“I knew it. He couldn't even keep Brittany around. How could Marilyn, an A-list actress, possibly be interested in him?”
Harold's coworkers all revealed looks of understanding after hearing his words.
They were all quick to believe Harold because they refused to accept that someone similar to them would suddenly reach the top of the pyramid in society and marry someone rich and beautiful.
Right then, Wrenna came out of the office with a young woman beside her.
“Pause your work for a few minutes. Let's put our hands together to welcome a new coworker to our department,” Wrenna announced to the people in the project management department.
When Harold turned to look at the new coworker, he realized that it was none other than Christie, the
young woman he had met the day before at the airport. Immediately, he pursed his lips.
“Hello, everyone. I'm Christie Fields. I just came back from overseas, and I look forward to working with all of you.”
At that, Christie gave a bow to them all.
When she lifted her head, she looked at Harold and gave him a wink before sticking her tongue out for a brief second.
Unlike Harold, who ignored her, the others were swift to give their applause to welcome her.
The hearts of the male staff members skipped a beat when they saw her cute action.
Ever since Brittany left, there were no beautiful women to be seen in their department.
There were only women with figures they did not desire.
On the other hand, Christie was beautiful and young. She looked about twenty, and she seemed lively.
The two women, Wrenna, who exuded a mature woman's charm, and Christie, who was cute and lively, were now the ultimate beauties in the project management department.
However, Wrenna was like a cold-blooded animal, and she was their superior.
No matter how beautiful she was, no one in the department would dare to approach her.
At most, they would indulge in their fantasies of her when they were all alone at night.
In contrast, Christie was adorable and friendly. Many of the male staff members were beginning to consider flirting with her.
“More like Ditzy Fields, I'd say,” Harold muttered under his breath when he recalled the incident at the airport.
When the people around him heard him, they glared daggers at him.
In fact, Christie, who was not standing far from him, heard him too.
She had nearly burst into angry tears when her father had called her a ditzy girl the day before, so she was particularly sensitive to the word “ditzy.”
She promptly whipped her head to the side to glare at Harold.
However, the thought of Harold's identity and the Fields family's current state forced Christie to tamp down the displeasure she felt. In seconds, she managed to force a smile again.
When the others saw the changes in her expression, they all thought that Christie was too nice.
That made them feel angrier at Harold.
Why doesn't he know how to appreciate a good girl like her? Why is he being so mean to her?
