Chapter 637 Indirectly Making Things Difficult for Her
"Just came to check things out, you guys keep doing your thing." Phillipe held Abella's hand and gave her a quick tour of the procurement department.
Even after they left, everyone was still in shock.
"Mr. Bourbon has a wife? And she's so young and beautiful."
"Is he married or about to be?"
"She's stunning. Just standing there, she outshines all of us. No wonder Mr. Bourbon likes her."
"If I hadn't seen her, I wouldn't believe someone could look that perfect."
A female employee murmured, "She looks familiar, like I've seen her before."
"Right? I feel the same. She's not a social media star, but I've definitely seen her. When was it? I can't remember," another female employee added.
Then, a short-haired employee who had lunch in the cafeteria laughed. "You guys don't know yet, do you? Ms. Sanders heard someone was flirting with her son and came to the company all fired up. Guess what happened?"
Everyone leaned in, "What happened?"
"Did Ms. Sanders slap her?"
"Did they fight?"
"Who did Mr. Bourbon side with?"
"His girlfriend or his mom?"
The short-haired employee laughed. "Ms. Sanders went upstairs to confront the girl, but somehow, the girl got Ms. Sanders to hold her arm and chat happily. After lunch, they were still arm in arm, chatting and laughing, and Ms. Sanders was reluctant to part at the elevator."
"That impressive?" Everyone was stunned. "What did that girl do?"
The short-haired employee shrugged. "No idea, but if Mr. Bourbon likes her, she must be special."
Just then, Phillipe brought Abella to the design department, causing another stir.
When everyone learned the teenage girl was Phillipe's wife, they were all shocked.
"Hello, Mrs. Bourbon!"
"Mrs. Bourbon is so beautiful."
"Is Mrs. Bourbon here to check out the company?"
"Before meeting Mrs. Bourbon, we all wondered who could match Mr. Bourbon. Now we know."
The design department folks, being young and bold, started teasing, making the atmosphere relaxed.
Abella smiled and greeted them without any airs.
"If you have any design questions, you can ask her," Phillipe said, giving Abella a gentle look.
Everyone was even more surprised.
"Mrs. Bourbon knows design?"
"She looks so young, is she still in school? Studying design?"
"Is Mrs. Bourbon interested in design?"
"Will Mrs. Bourbon join the design department in the future?"
Everyone surrounded Abella, asking questions.
Phillipe's phone rang. He looked at it and gently said to Abella, "I need to take this call."
"Okay."
As Phillipe walked away, everyone continued to surround Abella with questions.
"Mrs. Bourbon, how did you meet Mr. Bourbon?"
"Mr. Bourbon is so cold. How did you get him to like you?"
"Got any tips? I have a crush too, but I can't win him over."
"Yeah, teach us."
In the corner of the design department, two girls, one with long hair and one with short hair, watched the commotion quietly.
The long-haired girl twirled a pen, eyeing Abella coldly. "This girl isn't simple. I heard she forced the HR manager Casey to leave, got the deputy general manager fired, messed up Mr. Bourbon's office, and even alarmed security. Plus, Ms. Jenkins, who had a thing with Mr. Bourbon, got fired too."
The short-haired girl whispered, "Really? The Jenkins and Bourbon families are close. Maybe she was jealous of Ms. Jenkins and caused all that trouble to get her fired?"
The long-haired girl nodded, looking at Abella with disdain. "She's just relying on her youth and looks."
"Doesn't she know her worth? She thinks she's something just because Mr. Bourbon supports her," the long-haired girl continued, twirling her pen. "When Ms. Jenkins left, she looked like she'd been through a lot."
"So this girl is really scary," the short-haired girl said, glancing at Abella. "Beneath that pretty face, she's got a venomous heart."
"A week ago, Ms. Jenkins was praised by Mr. Bourbon. Ms. Parker, who was also praised, got promoted yesterday and fired today. This girl probably saw them as threats. You shouldn't flatter someone like her," the long-haired girl said, standing up and walking towards Abella.
Her high heels clicked on the floor as she approached.
"Mr. Bourbon said we could ask you about design," the long-haired girl said to Abella, deliberately skipping any honorifics.
Abella looked up, sensing the hostility. 'Another admirer of Phillipe?'
The employees around Abella whispered, "Holly, what are you doing? Mr. Bourbon is still here!"
"This is Mrs. Bourbon. Don't bother her with small design issues."
"Mrs. Bourbon is just here to inspect."
"Go back to your seat and work."
They were worried Abella might not know much about design, which would be embarrassing. After all, Holly was a design genius with several international awards.
Holly added, "I have a few new designs. Could Mrs. Bourbon take a look and point out any shortcomings?"
Everyone knew Holly wasn't seeking advice but trying to make things difficult for Abella.
