CHAPTER 453: CHAPTER 453: EXPLOSIVE NEWS: THE PRESIDENT BRINGS A WOMAN HOME

Aurelia Shaw, dressed meticulously, instantly captured the gossip-laden attention of the office executives. It’s not as if they hadn’t seen people come to see the CEO before. Besides Mason Nightshade’s frequent visits, there were business partners, and plenty of women wanting to get in touch with the CEO, but few dared to openly flirt.

Although this person was wrapped up tightly, concealing their face, from her figure and attire, it was clear she was a woman, and the very woman being personally received by the CEO!

They sensed gossip in the air. Behind the piles of heavy documents, pairs of gossiping eyes closely followed Aurelia Shaw, vanishing behind the door.

Once the door closed, notification sounds erupted intermittently.

In the company’s private chat group.

"Hey hey hey, what’s going on? Did I see things wrong? The CEO actually brought a woman back. Tell me it’s just my imagination, that it’s the woman following the CEO, right?"

"Above, let me tell you, you didn’t see things wrong, I saw her too. With my thirty years of experience as a senior single lady, the CEO and her have a deep connection. I saw the CEO waiting for her just now."

"No, I don’t want to believe it. Even though I know the CEO will never belong to me, I refuse to see such a cold and handsome CEO flaunting a relationship. I refuse to accept this fact. Clearly, the woman must have provoked the CEO. The CEO was angrily glaring at her, and then she clingily followed the CEO into the office!" a certain woman began a self-hypnotizing fantasy.

Employees in the lower-level office didn’t witness this scene. When they heard the gossip, they exploded.

"What? Went into the office with the CEO? Just the two of them? Alone together... Honey, I’m heartbroken."

The man referred to as "honey" replied calmly, "Sweetie, I’ll buy you dessert later, and we’ll have a cozy evening together that’ll definitely make you forget the heartache."

"The secretly married couple upstairs, stop flaunting your affection and get out!"

As the first witness, the receptionist girl, though also affected, felt a strange sense of pride, "Ahem, let me say something. This woman took the initiative to come early to see the CEO, and she even knows the CEO’s phone number. The CEO came down personally to greet her."

"What’s going on? Quickly tell me, I want to know the gossip, share it with me."

"Little girl, how about I buy you a tiramisu later? Be good, tell your sister everything you know." Someone tried to tempt her with food.

Thus, the receptionist girl vividly recounted the story, embellishing it with her imagination.

-

The CEO’s office.

Mason Nightshade sat behind the large desk, his penetrating gaze unabashedly fixed on Aurelia Shaw’s silhouette, his long fingers pressing the intercom button, instructing coolly, "Bring two cups of coffee." Pausing, he corrected himself, "One coffee, one hot milk."

Aurelia Shaw raised an eyebrow and glanced at him.

Gustavo Yates came in with the items two minutes later and was stunned when he saw the person comfortably seated on the sofa. After regaining his senses, he blurted out, "Young Madam."

Noticing the slightly cold look Aurelia Shaw shot him, he shivered, quickly placing down the milk and coffee, not daring to linger. He wouldn’t want to become a casualty in the boss and Young Madam’s affair.

Looking up and seeing countless gossiping eyes peering at him curiously, his face turned stern as he said, "Does no one have work to do? Do what you’re supposed to do; don’t poke your nose into things you shouldn’t know."

Aurelia Shaw rubbed the edge of the cup, her slightly narrowed eyes watching the man working behind the large desk. She had just opened her mouth when the man interrupted her with "Wait a minute," and then left her to cool her heels for half an hour — was it intentional?
