Chapter 100 Rekindled Feelings
Luke had a gut feeling something was off. After hanging up, he casually checked the news on his phone.
[Luke Taylor and Margaret Collins: Rekindling Romance? Late-night Date Spotted.]
[Margaret Collins Seeks Late-night Medical Attention, Luke Taylor by Her Side.]
[Luke Taylor and Margaret Collins: Making Us Believe in Love Again.]
Three out of ten articles were about Luke and Margaret!
As the richest man in Maplewood City, Luke's fame rivaled that of top celebrities. He usually kept an eye out for paparazzi, but yesterday's urgent situation had caught him off guard.
The headlines were sensational, and the photos were taken from sneaky angles. Besides the shot of Luke carrying Margaret to the hospital, there were pictures of her clinging to him, whispering close to his face. The paparazzi made it look like they were passionately embracing and kissing.
The story of Luke and Margaret was well-known. When Margaret had married someone else, millions of netizens had felt sorry for Luke. Now, it had become an internet sensation.
The top comments were:
[This is what it means to come back to you after all the trials. I believe in love again!]
[As long as the person you end up with is the one you love, waiting a little longer means nothing.]
Nonsense!
Luke's face darkened as he scrolled through the news.
He called Max back, "Find out who did this."
Who was so daring to pull this nonsense right under Luke's nose? They certainly had guts!
Luke should have gone to see Elsa earlier. She must have misunderstood.
Taylor Building, 15th floor, Dalton Banks Design Department.
"Did you guys see the news? Mr. Taylor and Manager Collins are back together, flaunting their affection," Ava said loudly, waving her phone around in the cubicle area.
Elsa had been catching up on sleep at noon and started working on her design drafts after waking up. She had not checked the news all day.
Hearing Ava's announcement, Elsa opened her phone.
"No wonder Manager Collins didn't come to work today. She was with Mr. Taylor," another intern chimed in.
"Exactly. Manager Collins and Mr. Taylor are a perfect match. Some people are ordinary but dream of becoming noble. Eventually, they will show their true colors," Ava said, venting her frustration.
"Ava Davis, cut it out. Everyone is working!" Finally, someone next to Elsa couldn't stand it anymore and spoke up for her.
During Elsa's time at work, although she didn't interact much with her colleagues and was often misunderstood and ridiculed because of Margaret, she remained dignified and unyielding, earning some support.
Elsa looked gratefully at the colleague who stood up for her and smiled.
"Elsa, can you still work after finding out about this? Shouldn't you be hiding in the bathroom crying?" Ava, thinking she had finally hit Elsa's sore spot, became complacent and raised her voice.
A colleague next to her was about to retort, but Elsa quickly patted her hand soothingly, stopping her in time.
Elsa could handle dealing with a measly Ava.
"Ava, if you're so interested in my family affairs and my husband, come home with me tonight," Elsa said calmly, crossing her arms. "Those who know would think Margaret Collins wants to be Mrs. Taylor of the Taylor Group. Those who don't might think you have a chance too. Your design skills are inferior that's why you constantly seek attention by discussing my private matters. You're truly low."
"It doesn't matter what you say, Elsa Miller. How many more days do you think you can be Mrs. Taylor? You call me low, but you're the one ruining other people's relationships, you shameless woman!" Ava, enraged by Elsa's words, shouted and even tried to rush over to hit Elsa.
