Chris did not send a single message.
The company group chat popped up discussions from time to time.
"Linda has become a shareholder of the company? Has she become a phoenix? Is she about to get married with Mr. Morgan?"
"Need I say that? Didn't you see that Mr. Morgan asked Linda to go to the office every day? What else can a man and a woman do when they are alone?"
"Why call her Linda? Call her Mrs. Morgan. I don't want to get along with you!"
"What about Miss Lincoln? Doesn't she like Mr. Morgan too--"
"Come on, she can't even put on makeup. Which man can like such a woman? Aren't there many unrequited loves in the company?"

When we chose to marry in secret, he said he didn't want to be gossiped by employees. Now it seemed that it was just to make it easier to get out of it.
On the fourth day, I went to work as usual. I came just to submit a resignation application to the HR department.
She looked at me in surprise.
"Miss Lincoln, do you want to resign? Does Mr. Morgan know? I dare not approve your resignation application. Everyone knows that you are a veteran of the company. If you leave, won't it be like breaking Mr. Morgan's arm?"
As soon as the voice fell, a colleague's contemptuous voice came from outside the door.
"What can't be approved? You are too embarrassed to stay."
"After all, the projects that have been handled were successfully signed after being handed over to Linda. If I were her, I would have packed up and left long ago!"
"The project that Linda signed this time directly put the company on the market. Can Belle do it? It's a compliment to say that she is a vase, it's just a toilet!"
The projects she mentioned were all the plans I rushed out day and night. But every time at the last minute, Chris would hand it over to Linda.
Suppressing all the grievances, I smiled and looked up, "Yes, you are right, so I am going to resign. Please make a way for me."
"I hope the company will move towards new glory under the leadership of Linda. With Linda here, everyone's salary will definitely rise."
"Who are you showing your sarcasm to? I have been annoyed with you for a long time. You are a manager and you think you are the boss's wife?"
A colleague was very angry and wanted to rush up to me. But he was stopped by the people next to him.
"Okay, why waste time with such a person? She can't do her job well and she can't hold on to men. She is still a leftover woman at an old age. She will suffer in the future!"
Ignoring everyone's reaction, I took the elevator with my resignation application.
The elevator door slowly closed and I was exhausted. I squatted down and hugged my legs tightly.
Ten seconds later, I stood up again and resumed my vigorous and resolute appearance in the past.
I walked straight into the office.
Linda was eating potato chips on Chris's sofa.
"Miss Lincoln? No, sister-in-law, why are you here?"
As a secretary, Linda was the only person in the company who knew my identity. Chris explained that it was convenient for her to arrange work.
But ten years later, I didn't see any convenience in work. It was convenient for her to provoke me.
My eyes swept across the crumbs on the sofa and I just felt ironic.
In the past, when I entered his office, even drinking a cup of coffee was a luxury. He always said that he was afraid that I would dirty the carpet and the sofa. He was afraid that it would affect the appearance of his company.
Now it was Linda and he had no taboos.
Chris saw me coming in and his face instantly turned cold.
"Don't you know how to knock? Can't you see I'm busy? Go out and knock again!"
Linda threw the bag of potato chips on the ground and hurried forward to comfort him, "Don't be angry, Mr. Morgan. Belle didn't mean it. She was just anxious. Besides, we are a family. What will the employees outside think if you let Belle go out?"
