Chapter 290 News Headlines
All of Elsa's understanding of assistant work came from Max, and she knew very well that her job and Max's were entirely different.
Max's assistance to Luke was mostly work-related, while she was actually doing the job of an English teacher and servant.
The key was that, judging by Leo's appearance, he didn't seem like that kind of person at all.
Leo had a cold face that kept people at a distance. If Luke gave off an oppressive vibe of someone in power, then Leo exuded a gloomy and cold aura.
There was a joke in the jewelry design industry that the design genius Leo had a misanthropic disorder, seeing everyone as an idiot. Everyone felt vulgar and ashamed in his presence.
But after a few days of interaction, Elsa felt that Leo's behavior was clearly inconsistent with his external reputation.
Elsa's only work experience was at Dalton Banks, so she didn't know much about the interaction patterns between subordinates and superiors. However, she felt that Leo's attitude towards her was a bit too familiar.
He let Elsa drive his Panamera, had her pick him up and drop him off every day, and they even ate all three meals together.
Elsa was reluctant to rent a parking space, so she parked the Panamera casually in the open space in front of the building, attracting the curious glances of neighbors.
Before long, rumors started spreading that she had hooked up with a rich man.
The first time Elsa heard this was from two cleaning ladies chatting while cleaning the hallway. She walked over calmly and said, "You're wrong. I'm the one who introduce mistresses to rich men. Are you jealous? If so, I can introduce you to one."
The two cleaning ladies immediately fell silent and avoided Elsa whenever they saw her after that.
She didn't care about her reputation. What she hated was that not only did men like to stigmatize women, but even women harbored such hostility toward other women.
On the other hand, Leo might want the gossip to reach Luke's ears and disgust him.
Elsa knew this but found Leo childish and ridiculous. She had subtly asked Leo about his grudge with Luke, but he always kept his mouth shut.
However, Elsa thought it couldn't be a major feud; it was probably just something minor, like one of them stealing the other's girlfriend. Leo and Dalton Banks were competitors, but she had never seen Leo do anything underhanded in business. What he cared about was the fact that she was Luke's ex-wife.
She hadn't expected that even after the divorce, she could land a high-paying job because of her Luke's ex-wife status.
Could it be that Leo was hurt by Luke emotionally? Elsa gazed at Leo's beautiful face and let her imagination run wild.
Fortunately, she was divorced from Luke. The worst that could happen was her own reputation being tarnished, which didn't affect the Taylor family.
A few days later, Elsa went to see her first movie with Leo.
She always half-assed things she wasn't interested in. Leo chose a clichéd romance film, and she barely stayed awake for half of it, managing just enough time to finish her iced Coke and half a bucket of popcorn before dozing off.
As for the task of recounting the movie in English to Leo later, she would just search for a summary of the movie and describe it in her own words.
"Let's go." Leo woke her up after the movie ended.
Elsa opened her sleepy eyes to find the theater empty except for her and Leo. She was even covered with Leo's jacket.
She hurriedly sat up and smiled. "I wanted to rest my eyes during the ending, but I fell asleep."
"Elsa, I just love your ability to talk nonsense," Leo glanced at her and mocked.
What Elsa didn't know was that their movie outing made the headlines that very night.
