When Cheryl's name was called out, she glared at Tina and said with a smile, “Mr. Doyle, there's no problem."
"Are you sure there's no problem?" Tina interrupted Jason and said, "Weren't you all curious to know the identity of
the man in the boss' office? Didn't you say you wanted to ask Mr. Doyle?"
"Tina!" Cheryl did not expect Tina to be so direct, so she hurriedly called out her name.
"Didn't you want me to ask Mr. Doyle? Here, Ms. Cheryl, I've asked him." Tina smiled with a look of innocence.
Jason understood what was going on from Tina's words.
Cheryl and the others must have pissed her off. Otherwise, she would not have disrespected and exposed them like
this.
Jason was also aware that Cheryl and the others' behaviors could get quite annoying at times.
However, Tina was never like this before. She seemed to have become irritable lately as if something had
happened.
Jason looked at Cheryl. "Ms. Lindsey, do you want to know who the guest in the boss' office is?"
Cheryl was not foolish. She noticed Jason's gloomy expression, so she hurriedly shook her head and said, "Not at
all."
"So, it must be you all who are curious." The moment Jason looked at the other secretaries, each one of them

"If no one wants to know, then forget it. It doesn't matter who it is. You're not supposed to be eavesdropping. Your
job in the secretaries' office is to assist the boss in handling the company's affairs, not chit-chatting and gossiping
about the boss." Jason knew that if rumors about the boss spread in the company, they would most likely be from
the secretaries' office.
Since they were on the same floor as Luke, they would always be the first to know stuff.
If not for convenience's sake, the secretaries' office would not be on this floor. Perhaps he should propose it to the
boss.
"Yes, Mr. Doyle," said a few voices, and the secretaries dared not to say anything more now.
Jason turned to leave.
Cheryl looked at Tina scornfully. Although they entered T Corporation around the same time, she still entered a little
earlier than her, so they currently had the exact same status.
Moreover, Tina was much closer to Jason, so she said sarcastically, “Tina, you take things too seriously.
Now you got us all scolded by Mr. Doyle."
Tina paused the work at hand as she knew that if she did not talk to Cheryl, this matter was not going to be settled.
"Ms. Cheryl, I didn't know you were joking. Since you made me go to the boss' office to ask about the guest with
such a serious look on your face, I thought you were serious. When Mr. Doyle came, I asked for all of you." She
pretended to be surprised.
Cheryl's face grew darker and sullen. "You just did it on purpose."
Tina stopped pretending as she did not have the patience to deal with anyone right now. The only bit of motivation
she had left was for work, so she had no intention of putting on a facade to interact with them. "You're right. I did it
on purpose. If you want to gossip in the future, do it among yourselves and don't drag me into it. Otherwise, I won't
be nice enough to ask Mr. Doyle for you, I'll be asking the boss instead!"
The crowd was dumbstruck. They did not expect Tina to be so merciless.
There was a pin-drop silence in the secretaries' office.
After snapping at them, Tina assumed that they would not bother her with such trivial things anymore for the time
being. Her mood was lifted at the thought of that.
She glanced at the other people in the secretaries' office who usually stuck to Cheryl. Now that Cheryl dared not
speak, the others dared not say a word too.
Tina continued her work.
In the afternoon.
Luca tidied up her office and was about to head downstairs for lunch when there was a knock on her door.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Come in." She sat back in her office chair.
Luke opened the door with lunch boxes in his hand.
Luca then knew that Luke wanted to eat the lunch boxes that Aunt Neile brought over with her, just like how they
did last year.
The lunch boxes Aunt Neile made were indeed better than the food in stores. She was smiling at Luke, but when
she noticed Gordan behind him, her smile disappeared.
Was he being stalked by Gordan?
"Dr. Craw, I've come to freeload on food," Gordon said with a smile. Before coming here, Luke had warned him not
to address her as his sister-in-law to avoid arousing suspicion, so he changed the way he addressed Luca on the
spot.
"I..." Luca did not know what to say, so she just looked at Luke.
On the contrary, he looked rather calm.
Luke was not the type to easily let Gordan have his way, so Luca was in disbelief that he would let him tag along
now.
The three of them sat on the sofa together.
