Sweet Addiction

Chapter 183 Rumors

Irene pursed her lips. She really didn't want to have any contact with Jonny now. She just wanted to live a good life with Aaron.

"It's okay. Don't worry about him."

They nodded obediently. Since their boss had said so, what else could they say.

Carl and Ada went home together. They talked to Lauren on the phone before they got on the plane. Knowing that they were coming back, Lauren had been sitting on the sofa waiting for them. Seeing them coming in, she rushed up to them.

"Oh, you are finally back. I didn't feel anything when you were at home. I felt empty for several days after you left. Anyway, I didn't feel well."

Ada sat back on the sofa with a smile on her face. She rubbed Lauren's shoulder affectionately and said, "Mom, I miss you too."

Carl came in with two suitcases. Seeing him, Lauren teased, "Your skin becomes dark. It seems that you have a good time."

Carl and Ada looked at each other. Ada's face was slightly red. Thinking of what Carl had said to her in Bali Island, she was in a good mood at this time. She turned to look at Lauren with a smile and pouted, "Is my skin dark too?"

Lauren looked at Ada up and down and said, "My daughter is beautiful no matter what. No matter whether your skin is black or not, you are the most beautiful." Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

"Am I also the most handsome?" Carl came over and made two poses.

The two of them were amused by his action.

They chatted about their daily lives. Noticing that Ada was a little tired, Lauren thought of the long flight they had taken before, so she stopped the topic and let them go upstairs to rest.

Ada nodded and stood up to pull her suitcase. But when she was about to touch it, Carl suddenly grabbed her suitcase. She looked up at him and saw Carl looking down at her with a smile. "Let me do it."

Ada was stunned and blinked her big eyes. Then she came to his senses, turned around and hurried upstairs after saying goodbye to Lauren.

Although Ada walked very fast, Lauren still noticed Ada's red ears. Lauren looked at Carl in bewilderment and felt that something was wrong. The two of them seemed to have changed subtly. Shirley had never been so diligent before. He didn't care about anything else and even wanted to give his suitcase to others, but now...

Lauren smiled and patted the seat next to her. She said to Carl curiously, "Don't go upstairs. Tell me what happened to you when you went out."

When Carl saw his mother's gossipy expression, he immediately stopped smiling. Of course he knew who the "we" referred to. But why was she so gossipy? He and Ada had made some progress, but it was not settled yet, so he could not tell the elders.

So he pursed his lips and pretended to ask, "What?"

Lauren knew at a glance that Carl was pretending. She patted him on the buttock and said, "Don't play dumb! You know what I'm asking you! Ada's mood becomes much better this time than that when you left."

Carl smiled and continued to play dumb, "Really? Is it? Isn't that good?"

"Yes, it's good... I'm just curious why! ! Why don't you tell me?"

"Oh, mom, I'm also very tired! Let's talk about why Ada is in a good mood after I have a good rest. I really don't have much energy today." Carl bowed his head and looked wronged.

Seeing him like this, Lauren sighed and waved her hand. "Go upstairs."

Hearing this, Carl seemed to be pardoned and ran upstairs with his suitcase.

Lauren pursed her lips helplessly and thought, 'Forget it. As long as they don't quarrel, I don't expect anything else. The rest is let nature take its course.'

Aaron took a day off. At 8 o'clock in the morning of the second day, he appeared in the building of the LR Group on time. The female staff at the front desk saw him and exclaimed. They were gossiping together.

"Finally, he is back. I miss him so much!" One female staff said.

Another employee said with contempt, "Can you not be so disgusting?"

The female staff retorted, "Do you dare to say that you have no improper desire for him?! Half of the women in this company have a crush on him, right? The rest are married women and cleaning aunts."

"…… Then don't be so obvious."

"Hey, don't be anthomaniac! Haven't you heard any rumors in the company?! Someone said that Mr. Aaron asked for leave this time to go out with his girlfriend!" The third employee cut in.

"What? I don't believe it. Isn't his girlfriend Jessica? Everyone knows that they are not real. Mr. Aaron don't like such a woman! What kind of unreliable gossip are you talking about?" The female staff said.

Another employee rolled her eyes and said, "Mr. Aaron doesn't have a crush on you! ! You're daydreaming!" Then the employee leaned her head against the third employee and whispered, "Didn't Jessica appear in the company yesterday? What a fake news!"

"Oh, your news is out of date. Now everyone in the company is talking about this in private. You also said that Jessica and Mr. Aaron are just nominal, so of course he is with another woman!"

"What? !" The female staff looked sad. "Do you mean Mr. Aaron has really fallen in love with someone else?! Then I'm crossed in love!"

"Come on. It's all your own wishful thinking. But... If you say so, it's possible. After all, he has been very happy sometimes recently. His smile, tut, is really like a man's smile in love."

As soon as Kelvin was in at work, he heard a few women gossiping about his boss. According to his experience last time, he felt that he couldn't help the evildoer any more. He clenched his fists and coughed to remind the people who were talking excitedly.

All of a sudden, they turned around and were startled to see Kelvin. They scattered in a hurry and lowered their heads, pretending to be working. After all, Kelvin was a subordinate of Aaron. It was really a bit unlucky for them at this time...

Seeing their reaction, Kelvin shook his head helplessly. When he was about to teach them a lesson, his phone rang.

When he saw it was Aaron, he answered it in a hurry, "Mr. Aaron."

The women were all shocked when they heard the name. Aaron had specifically warned people in the company not to gossip about the boss and the people behind him.

They all looked at Kelvin with begging eyes, fearing that he would tell Aaron about it right away.

But now, Kelvin was not in the mood to think about them, because Aaron's tone at the other end of the line sounded not very good. "Where are you? Come to my office right now."
