Chapter 1086
Blake quickly came back to her senses. She nervously avoided his gaze as she supported her waist to
stand up, “N-No! I’m too tired today. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have come here to slack off. I’ve brought lunch
today, so I won’t eat with you. Maybe next time.” After that, she quickly ran away as if someone was
chasing her.
She rejected him because she was afraid that the people in the company were gossiping about them.
Blake thought, ‘The incident with Kevin in the corridor last time was widely known. Luckily, it was
suppressed. Otherwise, I could’ve been questioned by Mr. Jardin.’
She was so hungry that her stomach growled. She wanted to get something to eat.
Unexpectedly, when she passed by the restroom, she overheard people talking inside.
A woman said, “Have you seen the photo? Someone took a picture of Blake sleeping in Mr. Xander’s office. Who exactly is she? She is manipulating both Mr. Xander and Mr. Harrison. Last time, Mr. Harrison
even made Susan remind us to watch our mouths. Otherwise, how could this office romance end so
easily? Her relationship with Mr. Harrison is ambiguous, yet she’s involved with another man now.”
“That’s right.” Another woman said. As she spoke, she looked at herself in the mirror. She tossed her hair
and said, “I’m not any worse than Blake! Why are these two outstanding men interested in her?!”
“I wonder what kind of spell Blake cast on them.”
Furious, Blake rolled up her sleeves, ready to confront them and demand an explanation. As she walked
over, she suddenly stopped.
She thought, ‘I’ll just let it go. Wherever I am, everyone dislikes me. Now, the entire secretarial department
avoids me.
‘Even Janice appears fearful when she talks to me.’
Blake pressed the button to go down. When the elevator stopped at her floor and opened, she lifted her
head and found the person she hated standing inside.
Blake paused for a moment.
Susan said, “Hurry up and come in. Don’t waste my time.”
Blake rolled her eyes and disdainfully scoffed, “Tsk.” She put her hands in her pockets, stepped back, and
took the adjacent elevator to go down.
With nothing to do at the company, she ate alone at the company cafeteria. With a tray in his hands, Liam
sat down across from her, “You have no appetite? Is the food not good?”
Blake absentmindedly poked at the food with her fork. She had just ordered mushroom soup for takeout.
on her phone, planning to have it delivered to Cecilia, who was hospitalized. After some thought, she
decided to just visit Cecilia. She thought she might be able to gather some useful information from her.
She stared at Liam. She had even forgotten about lying to him regarding bringing her own lunch.
She slowly chewed, “I think I’ll go to the hospital to check on Ms. Samford. She was hospitalized
yesterday, and there’s no one to take care of her. As her assistant, I can’t just abandon her. I just ordered
some soup for her on my phone, and I’ll bring it over to her later.”
Liam asked, “Do you need me to accompany you to the hospital?”
Blake chuckled, “I’m her assistant. It’s my job to do these things. Just now, I noticed there are still many drafts in your inbox waiting for review, right? You should focus on your work; don’t worry about me.” Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
Liam responded, “Do you want to leave work together tonight?”
“It depends. I might go straight home after coming back from the hospital.”
“Okay.”
After a while, Blake finally remembered. She quickly said, “I’m sorry! I lied about bringing lunch. I just don’t
want people to gossip about us. Although we’re friends, there are always people in the company who can’t
control their mouths and talk nonsense!”
Liam placed his chicken drumstick in her bowl, “It’s fine, I don’t mind.”
