Chapter 683 Gossip Ladies
In the company, Julia, who had a perm recently, was dressed in a formal black suit, which made her look more serious and mature.
She wore red lipstick today and looked cute when she smiled faintly.
The curve of her wriggling body attracted the attention of many executives. Just as Julia went to get a copy of the documents in her hand, several executives stopped her.
“Ms. Wright.”
A few of them were of the same age as Murray, but they were far less goodlooking than Murray.
Julia despised them, but she couldn’t express it because she was in the company.
“Mr. Allen, Mr. Harvey, what’s up?”
Julia smiled gently, which stirred their hearts.
“I just think wherever you go, I can always find you in the crowd from the first glance because you’re too shining.” James Allen took a sniff around Julia and added, “Yes, even the air around you smells so good.”
Julia covered her mouth and chuckled, but she felt much more disgusted by his flirtation.
“Ms. Wright, you need to smile more. Your smile is bewitching.”
Steve Harvey exaggerated his reaction. He covered his chest and pretended to faint.
“You two sure know how to joke. I feel so shy.”
Julia grinned. The two men were even more smitten with her.
“Hey, what’s the matter with you guys? Why did you praise Ms. Wright without me?” Graham Reilly walked up to them and said, “Don’t take it to your heart, Ms. Wright. They were just trying to make a fool of themselves.”
“It’s fine.”
Julia’s sweet and polite behavior deepened their good impression of her.
“Well, stop pretending to be a decent man. I wonder who told me last night how beautiful Ms. Wright was.”
The two executives exposed Graham’s lies without hesitation. Graham scratched his head awkwardly and explained, “Aren’t men just visual animals? Besides, Ms. Wright is indeed beautiful, and she has captured my heart.”
Some female employees were sneaking glances at Julia and the others during work.
Although they were jealous, they just could not help laying eyes on Julia, who turned out to have a good family background and a very pretty face.
Julia could only pretend to be happy. After all, she didn’t come to this company to chitchat with these people.
The executives were besotted with Julia. After Julia left with the documents, their eyes fixated on her back for a long time.
The next day, when Julia arrived at the company, she found a large bouquet of red roses on her desk.
She picked up the card on the flower which was written, “Dear Ms. Wright, this is for you, from Harvey.”
Julia was stunned. She picked up the rose bouquet and looked around, finding her colleagues casting envious looks at her.
“Hey, which executive do you think has fallen in love with Julia?”
The employees gossiped, and Julia heard it all.
Julia shook her head, put the flowers aside, and began to work.
At noon, when everyone went to have lunch, Julia bumped into Graham.
Graham raised a necklace in his hand and said, “Ms. Wright, I think this necklace looks good on you, so I bought it and wanted to give it to you.”
Julia faked a surprised look and thanked him.
“It’s fine. You don’t have to thank me. If you really want to thank me, can you have lunch with me?”
Graham bowed slightly and stretched out his hand in front of Julia.
The other female colleagues were all dumbstruck. They kept discussing Graham’s chivalry behavior.
“Ah, how can I accept that?”
Julia restrained herself, while Graham took a step further. “It’s my honor to have lunch with Ms. Wright.”
The other women started to scream when they heard this. They did not expect that Graham could be such a gentleman. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Thus, the two of them entered the restaurant across the street together. Graham was a gentleman all the time. Not only did he pull out a chair for Julia, but he even poured water for her.
“I wonder if Ms. Wright has a boyfriend?”
Halfway through lunch, Graham suddenly asked a question.
Julia was shocked. She didn’t think it was appropriate to directly turn down her pursuer.
“Not yet.”
Graham’s eyes suddenly lit up, and he reckoned that he might have a chance.
“If that’s the case, Ms. Wright, please let me be your boyfriend.”
Julia bit her lip and did not respond.
Soon, after lunch, Graham sent Julia back to the company, and the news that Graham was pursuing Julia was known by everyone.
In the afternoon, when Julia prepared to go home from work, another executive ran to her and told Julia that he wanted to send her home.
In a short period, many executives started courting Julia, which became the hottest topic in the company.
Soon, the news was spread to the office on the top floor.
Murray listened to the assistant talking about the gossip and fell into deep thought.
He didn’t expect that Julia’s arrival had caused a big stir in the company. The executives couldn’t focus on work and all went to pursue Julia.
Murray wasn’t happy to hear it. The company hired them to work, not to woo girls.
Murray frowned and immediately asked his secretary to bring the executives over to reprimand them.
After a while, several executives gathered in Murray’s office. They looked at each other and did not dare to speak.
“I heard that you slacked off recently.”
Murray questioned them with a dark face.
“No. We don’t dare.”
The few of them lowered their heads, trying their best to avoid Murray’s gaze.
“I hired you to work. Why did you go to fawn on a little girl? We don’t welcome office romance. After working here for so long, do you not know this rule?”
Murray roared, making the executives not have the gut to answer.
“You won’t have your year-end bonus. If it happens again, you can pack your things and leave.”
When the executives heard Murray’s warning, their eyes widened in terror.
Not only did they fail to win Julia’s heart, but they even lost their year-end bonus.
They regretted it so much. After leaving the office, none of them spoke again nor mentioned Julia’s name.
The news that Murray punished the executives spread throughout the company. For a moment, everyone presumed that Murray was furious because he was jealous.
