Chapter 82 Our Boss Was A Home-wrecker
Patrick Dolley’s footsteps came to a halt. The veins on the back of his tightly clenched hand were throbbing violently.
Standing at the door, the secretary Tina looked shocked.
Marriage? Wedding?
Did she hear it right?
Mr. Byran had been single for so many years. Was he going to amaze the world with a sudden marriage?
As soon as Patrick left, the Byran Group’s secretary group chat exploded.
“It’s the newest gossip. Our boss is together with Miss Jewell.”
“I’ve known it for a long time. Your information is too outdated.”
“Where did you find out?”
“Linda and Jamie were chatting, someone heard them.”
“Then I have another gossip that you don’t know. Our boss is getting married to Miss Jewell.”
“Really?”
“I heard it with my own ears. I swear on my annual bonus this year!”
…
At the end of the morning meeting, Jamie found time to browse through his phone. When he saw the chat group, he was shocked.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
The latest message:
“When did Miss Jewell get pregnant?”
“I bet a hundred dollars – it was before the divorce.”
“Then, isn’t the boss a home-wrecker?”
Jamie held back his laughter as a cold voice sounded from behind him. “Jamie, get the driver to prepare the car. I need to talk to Mr. Jackson about the new project.”
Jamie was startled and his phone almost flew out. He shut down the screen just in time.
“Yes, Mr. Byran.”
The rumors were scary. It has only been one morning, but Amanda Jewell was already rumored to be pregnant. It wouldn’t be surprising if the news got out that the boss and Amanda Jewell had two children soon.
Soon, it was noon.
Amanda Jewell tidied up at home, changed her clothes, and was about to go to the company.
Before the formal opening, the company was going to recruit a group of employees. There were several people applying for the job, and Joleen Lewis was already waiting for her at the company.
As she was changing her shoes, the doorbell suddenly rang.
Amanda froze for a moment, then suddenly remembered what Iverson had said before he left. She didn’t even put on her shoes and rushed to the door to open it.
“Hello, Miss Jewell.”
It turned out to be the housekeeper of the Byran Family. Amanda Jewell was flattered. “You’re here in person?”
The housekeeper was surprised. “Do you know I’m coming?”
“I knew someone was coming to send something, but I didn’t know it was you who came in person.”
The housekeeper nodded. “Well, that makes things easier. I’ve delivered the package, so I don’t have to say anything else. You are a sensible person. You should be responsible to yourself.”
The housekeeper handed her a handbag. “This is imported. It doesn’t do much harm to your body.”
“Then I won’t disturb you any longer, Miss Jewell.”
After saying that, the housekeeper left.
Amanda held the bag and didn’t understand what the housekeeper meant, but she didn’t have time to think about it. She was more curious about what was in the bag.
After closing the door, she took out a box from the bag. The moment she took it out, her face suddenly froze, and her hands and feet suddenly became cold.
Iverson asked someone to give her a box of birth control pills.
After standing for a long time, Amanda put on her slippers while she leaned on the cabinet in the hallway, poured a glass of water on the table, and swallowed the pill without hesitation.
Imported? No harm to the body?
His concern was very special, but it was also reasonable.
Amanda held the glass of water. The medicine seemed to be stuck in her throat and couldn’t be swallowed. It stuck right in her throat, oozing a bitter taste that filled her entire mouth and washed away all the sweetness from before.
She suddenly laughed and her hand, which was holding the glass, slowly tightened.
“Bang!” The glass was slammed to the ground by her, making an ear-piercing cracking sound.
There was a slightly trembling hand printed on the broken glass.
Her eyes were red, but she never shed tears.
Compared to being sad, she was angrier with herself. They hadn’t known each other for long, but she easily believed the man’s words again. She was already hurt last time! Amanda Jewell, how could you be so stupid!
Meanwhile, in the old house of the Byran Family.
“Mom, the housekeeper is back.”
Victoria Carey was giving Mrs. Old Byran’s shoulders a massage and saw the figure hurrying back from outside.
Mrs. Old Byran opened her eyes and asked, “How’s it going?”
“Mrs. Old Byran, I’ve delivered the medicine and said what I should say.”
“She didn’t say anything?”
“She said a few words as if she knew I was going there.”
Victoria sneered, “At least she knew what she was supposed to do. Did you watch her take medicine?”
“I didn’t. I think she is very cooperative.”
“Foolish.” Victoria frowned. “How do you know she didn’t throw it away right away? If she really got pregnant, what if she joins the family because she has a child?”
Mrs. Old Byran said coldly, “On that day, she would suffer hard. Don’t you know that the Byran Family does not recognize illegitimate children?”
Victoria’s face turned pale, as if she had thought of something bad, and her shoulders trembled.
Mrs. Old Byran straightened up from her chair. “I remember that the company is holding a thank-you party at the end of this month.”
“Yes, Mom. Do you want to participate?”
“I don’t. Young people like to go. so send an invitation to Lydia.”
Victoria’s eyes lit up as she asked, “You mean…”
“She’s a good girl. We’ve been friends with the Ginos Family for generations, so we know her very well. However, whether she and Iverson could be together depends on her.”
“Destiny is overrated. Marriage is a big deal, so it’s better to find a well-matched partner.”
“Yes.”
As soon as Mrs. Old Byran left, Victoria gave the order.
While the housekeeper was waiting by the side, Victoria glanced at him and asked, “I heard that Amanda Jewell’s mother runs an underground casino?”
“Yes, it’s in the suburbs.”
“She’s addicted to gambling, isn’t she?”
“Not really. She’s really addicted to playing cards, but she doesn’t play much. After all, those people she has contact with don’t have much money either.”
Victoria snorted, “Her daughter has already married into a wealthy family once, so it’s time for her social circle to grow, isn’t it?”
The housekeeper was stunned. “What do you mean?”
…
When Amanda Jewell arrived at the company, Joleen Lewis was screening her resume.
“Why are you so late? The interview is over.”
“It’s okay. I can trust you.” Amanda took off her coat and rested it on the chair, looking absent-minded.
“What’s wrong? Didn’t you have a good time at the Byran’s yesterday?”
“Nope,” said Amanda, avoiding the topic. She flipped through the resume on the desk and asked, “Are these the people we interviewed today? Are there any suitable ones?”
When work was brought up, Joleen’s expression returned to normal. “I managed to pick a few, but in fact, I don’t think they’re very suitable. They basically don’t have any work experience at all. They never even worked in a team.”
“It doesn’t matter if they are newbies, as long as they are smart. They can always be strained. Weren’t we trained before as well?”
“We still need someone to train them. It’s okay with the financial issues, but what about the other things? That’s especially true for engineers. Without ten years of experience, the engineers can’t take over the project.”
“I’ve thought about it. This list is enough for us to establish a great project team in Ducco.”
Amanda turned his laptop to Joleen.
Joleen was shocked when she saw the first person on the list. The more she read, the more shocked she became. “Amanda, you’re trying to create a fatal blow to the Sean Group.”
80% of the people on the list were old employees of the Sean Group, and the remaining 20% were the resources that Amanda had accumulated over the years from the Sean Group.
When these people, the Sean Group would suffer greatly. Halley Sean would be so angry.
