Chapter 100 Where There’s a Woman, There’s Gossip
The air conditioner in the office was a little low. She wrapped her arms around herself and soon heard a cough.
Jackson looked up at her and continued to browse through the information on the computer. After a few minutes, he heard her
coughing again. An inexplicable frustration surged in his heart, making him unable to focus on his work.
He got up and took his coat from the cloakroom. He covered her with it and prepared to continue working. After taking two steps, he seemed to have thought of something and stopped in his tracks to look back at the person on the sofa.
If someone came in later and saw her sleeping in his office, it would cause a huge commotion.
It would also affect her future work.
He doubled back to her and called, “Five–one–four–six–four–nine?“She seemed to be really sleepy. She muttered something in a low voice, turned around, and fell silent.
He frowned and bent down to pick her up. He carried her to the lounge in the cubicle and placed her on the bed. He pulled the thin blanket over her.

She looked very peaceful when she slept. Her eyelashes were curled and long, and her palm–sized face looked even more petite with her seaweed–like hair.
When he hugged her just now, he did not use much strength. She was too skinny and probably did not have much flesh on her body.
When Elaine woke up and found himself in Jackson’s private lounge, he was very surprised. He hurriedly looked at the time and saw that there were still a few minutes before he went to work. He immediately heaved a sigh of relief.
There was only one door between the lounge and the CEO’s office. Perhaps because she had just woken up, she was still a little groggy. She opened the door unconsciously and froze. In addition to Jackson, there was another person from the Secretariat in the office. She was an intellectually beautiful woman called Zelma.
Nikki had applied for leave and Zelma was representing her. She was reporting to Jackson about the afternoon’s schedule when she heard the door open and looked in the direction of the voice.
When she saw Elaine coming out of private lounge Mr. Mason, she was shocked and her eyes were filled with disbelief.
Elaine smiled awkwardly at her and kept thinking in his heart, Oh no, oh no. She would definitely become gossip among colleagues in the next two days.

Jackson glanced at Elaine indifferently and retracted his gaze. He said to Zelma, “Be sure to inform them of the two o’clock meeting. Tell them that none of them can be absent.”
Zelma closed the schedule in his hand and revealed a professional smile. “Alright, if there’s nothing else, I’ll go out. “Jackson nodded. Zelma picked up the document he had signed. As he passed Elaine, he gave her a meaningful look.
After Zelma left, the office returned to silence. Elaine looked at Jackson and said, “I’m going out to work.”
Jackson was engrossed in his paperwork. Without a word, the landline rang, breaking the silence of the office. He picked up the receiver and put it to his ear. “Hello…”
She turned the doorknob and left the office. She returned to her seat and started working.
After working for two hours in a row, her eyes were a little tired. She took a glass of water to the pantry. Just as she reached the pantry door, she heard voices coming from inside.
“No wonder she could enter the company. It turns out that she has Mr. Mason as her backer. I didn’t expect her to be that kind of
person.““Seeing how well Nikki took care of her, I thought she was from Nikki. Now that I think about it, there’s a high chance that she climbed into Mr. Mason’s bed. Mr. Mason instructed Nikki to do so.”

“She’s as thin as a green bean. I wonder what Mr. Mason likes about her.”
The few of them chatted happily in the pantry. No one realized that the person they were talking about was standing outside the door.
