Chapter 360 No Wonder So Many Women Like Him
Finally, Susan dug around and found a scarf someone had given her at some event ages ago. She wrapped it around her neck in front of the mirror, at least covering up those hickeys.
Seeing the half-eaten food on her desk, Susan got pissed and chucked it straight into the trash.
It wasn't that Susan was wasteful; she just hated Seb's guts right now. If he were in front of her, she swore she'd deck him twice, leaving him with a face full of bruises!
Even just imagining it felt pretty damn satisfying.
Susan spotted a document that needed Linda's signature. Even though she didn't really want to see Linda, work was work. Susan braced herself, grabbed the document, and headed for the door.
As soon as Susan opened the door, she heard the hushed gossip outside.
"Ingrid, who do you think left those hickeys on Ms. Wilson's neck?"
The women outside covered their mouths and giggled.
Ingrid laughed and said, "You guys don't know, huh? I went to our company's banquet for the president of Prosperity Group last night. I saw Mr. Anderson's special assistant, the one named Leon, being super attentive to Ms. Wilson. Ms. Wilson drank too much last night, and it was Leon who took her home. Anyway, they definitely hooked up. Whether they went home or somewhere else, I don't know!"
After Fiona and Elliott got canned, Susan took Fiona's spot, and Ingrid got bumped up to assistant manager of Group Six, so Ingrid also hit up the banquet last night.
Hearing this, Susan frowned and wanted to go out and set the record straight.
But then Susan thought, 'What's the point of explaining? It'll just make things worse.'
But rumors about her and Leon was too nuts!
She was a divorced woman with two kids, and Leon was still single.
"That's so wild; they must have gone to a hotel!"
"Not even trying to hide it in front of so many people, could they actually be serious?"
"Ms. Wilson really is charming. I've seen Leon; he's young, handsome, capable, and reportedly quite wealthy. How did he fall for a divorced woman like Ms. Wilson?"
"Maybe it's just a fling?"
"Linda climbed up the ranks using Mr. Anderson from Prosperity Group. Maybe Ms. Wilson can use Leon to get to a higher position too."
Susan knew that if she didn't go out now, they'd start saying even more unbearable things.
So, Susan deliberately opened the door loudly and stomped out.
As soon as Susan came out, everyone shut up and looked down.
Susan shot them a look and then walked straight out with the document.
In front of Linda's office, Hannah smiled and nodded at Susan, signaling that Linda was inside.
Susan then knocked on the office door.
"Come in," Linda's sweet voice quickly came from inside.
Linda's voice was really sweet, and Susan loved to hear it, let alone men. Susan didn't know how much self-control Seb had to refuse a beauty like Linda.
For some reason, after last night, Susan started to believe that there was nothing physical between Seb and Linda.
Susan found it weird. How could she trust Seb after just sleeping with him one night? Was it because last night showed that Seb had been sexually frustrated for too long?
Susan pushed the door open and placed the document in front of Linda with both hands. "Linda, this document needs your signature."
Linda nodded and then opened the document to take a look.
When Susan looked up, she saw a bouquet of bright yellow roses in the crystal vase on the desk, very elegant.
Linda then signed her name on the document and handed it back to Susan.
Susan took the document and smiled. "I'll be going then."
"Susan, wait a minute!" Linda called out to her.
Susan looked up, and Linda gestured for her to sit down.
Susan thought Linda had some work to discuss, so she sat down.
"Are you getting into the swing of things at work? I see your Group Six has been making good progress these days." Although Linda was smiling, Susan always felt there was a hint of sadness in her eyes.
Linda must be going through the heartbreak of unrequited love right now.
"I just took over, and there are still many things I don't understand. I'll get familiar with them as soon as possible," Susan said modestly.
Linda nodded in satisfaction and then looked at the roses on the desk.
Seeing Linda not speaking for a long time, Susan frowned, having a premonition: Was she going to talk about personal matters?
"These flowers were just sent by Seb. Beautiful?" Linda reached out and pinched a petal.
Hearing this, Susan didn't know what to say or what Linda meant, so she just nodded in agreement. "Yeah."
But in her heart, Susan felt a pang of jealousy. Didn't Seb say there was nothing between him and Linda? Didn't he say he had completely rejected Linda? Why was he still sending her flowers?
What did Seb mean? Was he planning to send flowers to Linda for the rest of his life?
Susan kept a faint smile on her face. She couldn't lose her composure or show that she cared about Seb.
"Do you know why he sent me yellow roses?" Linda suddenly asked, looking at Susan.
Hearing this, Susan was a bit confused.
Susan looked at the elegant and beautiful Linda. Was it because her temperament matched the feeling yellow roses gave, or was it just a change from red roses?
Linda had already shown off red roses to Susan once before. Now she was showing off the yellow roses Seb sent her. What did she mean?
Susan really wanted to tell Linda that don't talk to her about Seb anymore; she really didn't want to hear it!
But the next moment, Susan just pursed her lips into a smile and shook her head, indicating she didn't know or understand.
Linda was her direct supervisor. As long as Linda wasn't too excessive, she would endure it.
The next moment, Linda smiled helplessly and said, "Yellow represents sincere apology."
Susan's mouth dropped open, and she stared at Linda.
"He's apologizing to me," Linda said.
"Did he offend you?" Susan could only play dumb.
Was Seb sincerely apologizing for rejecting Linda's love?
Why had Seb never been so gentlemanly, romantic, or considerate to her?
No wonder so many women liked Seb; he could come up with so many tricks.
