A Vengeful Girl

Chapter 234 Plenty of Office Gossip

Lisa was barely even listening to what Mary Zhang was saying. Her mind was preoccupied. She only

recognized Mary from the picture in the file Adam had sent.

Mary Zhang thought Linda had overheard her conversation with her colleague. That made her nervous

and agitated.

Mary thought Linda was going to fire her for this. She did not say anything malicious, but she couldn't

shake the feeling of guilt either.

Lisa was not interested in talking to Mary right away. She had to follow her plan to meet Charles in his

office.

Having lived with Charles for some time, Lisa felt more intensely that Charles deeply cared for her in a

way that was tender and thoughtful. Lisa realized that he was a perfect gentleman, just like the man of

her dreams.

It was a dream come true for Lisa when she married Charles. He was an ideal man for any woman!

Charles was not just successful, he also knew how to make his woman feel special. Lisa thoroughly

enjoyed spending time with him. But as time passed, she began to feel infatuated with him.

"Lady Linda, please make yourself comfortable. The Young Master is busy in a meeting. He will be with

you as soon as he is done." Paul helped Linda settle down in Charles' office. After he made sure she

was comfortable, he handed her a glass of water.

She thanked Paul and told him that she was comfortable. "You're free to go about your duties while I

rest and wait for Charles." Lisa smiled at Paul and Bun.

"Yes, My Lady! Bun can you stay here with Lady Linda?" Having said that, Paul left the room. He

returned quickly. "My Lady I've just heard that the Young Master's meeting will only be over in an hour.

You can play on his computer, just in case you're bored." Paul said and left Bun in charge.

Now that Lisa knew Charles was not joining her for the next hour, she had to think of some way to

distract Bun to speak with Mary secretly.

"Bun, I don't think I had enough for lunch earlier. Will you be kind enough to get me something to Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

munch on?" Lisa said. "Could you bring me a glass of fresh water as well?"

"Yes! My Lady." Replied Bun. "My Lady, what would you like to have? There are a variety of good

options available around the company." She said.

Lisa thought for a moment and said, "Anything is fine, Bun. Just remember to pick something

delicious." Lisa smiled.

Lisa was not hungry. She just wanted to distract Bun. Sending her out seemed like the best option so

she could execute her plan.

Bun took note of what Linda said and headed out. It was a good thing that Lady Linda wanted to eat.

Bun was aware that Linda enjoyed a good meal and hence, did not find anything strange with the

request.

After Bun left, Lisa quickly got to her feet and started examining Charles' office.

She had never been here before.

She was at Charles' office for a reason. She knew what Adam Huo was after. How could she forget?

Lisa had not figured out how to source the drugs for herself. Every time she needed some, Adam would

give it to her in small quantities.

Adam was always in control of everything, including her.

Lisa thought about getting drugs on her own, but had no idea whom or what channel to approach.

There was no way she could ask Bun to help. What if Charles found out?

Lisa had second thoughts. She watched as Bun left the office and headed for the elevator. As soon as

Bun was out of sight, Lisa went to the office door and peeked at Mary Zhang. She seemed busy on her

computer.

Lisa waved to Mary Zhang.

Mary was nervous. She felt like her heart had skipped a beat. What did the Young Lady want from her?

Although she was gossiping earlier, she didn't really say anything bad.

"Yes? Mrs. Mu! Do you need anything?"

While Lisa was looking around Charles' office, she noticed that it was a closed and private room.

Nobody from outside should be able to hear anything. She told Mary to sit down next to her and asked,

"Guess, why I called you?"

Mary smiled bitterly and replied, "I'm sorry Mrs. Mu. We did not mean any harm. We were only talking

amongst ourselves. Did you hear us? We have a lot of girls in our department, so..."

Lisa laughed, she knew they were talking about her.

"No, it's not that. Do I look so petty?"

"Then what do you need from me, Mrs. Mu? The director is still in a meeting. He will be done in an

hour."

"Hmm! Can you tell me what kind of meeting?" Lisa looked out of the window. The sky was clear. She

wished her path would be equally clear. In her present state, she was uncertain as to where her life

was headed.

Mary was relieved when she knew that Lisa was not going to confront her about the gossip.

Mary then spoke, "Mrs. Mu, today's meeting is particularly crucial. It is about the decisions regarding

the world-renowned fashion brand, Tie's new winter products, that falls under the Mu Clan fashion

umbrella."

As she was answering Linda Xia's question, Mary couldn't help but feel proud.

Lisa understood why Mary felt proud when she spoke. The designer, Fred Han, was Mary's husband

and he had been selected as a finalist for the new winter products.

"You're Mary Zhang, right? My husband's conference secretary?"

"Yes ma'am."

"If I'm not wrong, then the three new winter products in the meeting you just talked about were

designed by your husband, yes? His name is Fred Han, right?"

Mary was surprised. Lady Mu already knew.

"Mrs. Mu, how did you know?"

"This is not the only thing I know. I also know a man who goes by the name, Julian Zhang."

"What are you talking about? I don't understand. If there's nothing else, I would like to be excused. You

can rest here, ma'am." Just as Mary was getting up to leave, Lisa called out to her, "Don't go. I haven't

finished yet."

"What are you trying to say?" Mary braced herself, turned back and asked.

Lisa continued, "Their meeting is about to finish, so I'll be quick. Today, they'll decide on Tie's three new

winter products, right? Since your husband is the designer, then he's also the star of the meeting. Have

you seen the draft designs?"

Mary was confused by Linda's words. She didn't understand why Linda would ask her that. She was

the Lady of the Mu Clan corporation, and if she wanted to know about the new winter products, why

didn't she just ask the director? Why would Linda be asking her?
