Passionate Devotion: Master Fudd's Beloved Wife novel Chapter 42

They arrived at Fudd Group. Although she had gotten a ride with Yellen Bodd’s car, she was still ten minutes late after looking at the time.

Since Yellen Bodd was among the ‘royal blood’, he was not worried about being fired. Verian Mont on the other hand was different, since Nancy Xander had long since hated her and she was also assigned into Nancy Xander’s department, her future hardships would not be lacking. This job was difficult to come by for her, and she could not resign just because of her relationship with Heaton Fudd. She had no right to do so since she was no longer Lady Mont.

Verian Mont grabbed onto her bag and bolted into the elevator.

Before Yellen Bodd could get out of his car and the moment he turned around, Verian Mont had already disappeared. This little rascal truly ran fast.

Verian Mont nervously took the elevator up to the sixtieth floor. When she got out of the elevator, she took a couple deep breaths before striding out toward the Xander’s Design Department in her high heels.

Nancy Xander had long since arrived. She was standing in the office while crossing her arms. She stepped out as if she was waiting for her and said, “Verian Mont, you’re eleven minutes and fifty seconds late on your first day of work. It seems you are not serious about this job.”

Or was she implying she was using her status as Heaton Fudd’s actual ‘wife’ to casually arrive late to work and leave early?

Nancy Xander was obviously nitpicking her faults and Verian Mont could not be bothered to explain to her. She nodded and apologized, “Sorry director Xander, I won’t be late next time.”

Nancy Xander gave her a cold stare. She frowned and ordered, “Andy, bring Verian Mont to get her onboarding procedure done!”

The tone of Nancy Xander’s voice was not too loud or soft. The entire Xander’s Design Department could clearly hear her.

As Nancy Xander’s assistant Andy brought Verian Mont to get her onboarding procedure done, Verian Mont could clearly hear the entire design department gossiping about her.

“What is going on, how come our department was handed a toy? Isn’t this the toy from the marketing department?”

“Yeah, truly the bane of society, even our department had fallen to her.”

“This Verian Mont looks familiar to me. I just saw her at the main entrance, she was sent here by a Porsche 918. How high profile!”

“So that’s why she dared to be late on her first day of work. From how I see it, she is not afraid of getting fired!”

…

Nancy Xander did not react as she was also listening to the gossip. She grinned while her eyes had a slight twitch. She looked up and clapped her hands together. She said, “As everyone could see, our department has a new staff. Verian Mont is our new illustrator and our new staff is really high profile, so everyone could show her your support.”

Nancy Xander’s statement brought along a few hidden jabs. Everyone that was working could hear that this boss too disliked this Verian Mont who got in by ‘pulling strings’.

After Nancy Xander left to enter her private office, the office area began chirping alive.

The design department was different from other departments. Here, the number of female staff was the majority. Three women would be in a team on one project. The entire design department had thirty female staff, it was comparable to the number of concubines of an emperor.

…

After Verian Mont was done with the onboarding procedure, she returned to the design department with her employee’s badge hung around her neck.

Before she was able to get herself seated at her spot, Andy walked toward her to ‘invite’ her with a smile saying, “Verian, the director wants to see you in her office to assign you with some work.”

Verian Mont nodded and walked into Nancy Xander’s office.

While burying herself in a pile of documents, Nancy Xander spoke in a dissatisfied tone, “I was told you spent three years in Paris, you should be fine with French right?”

“Yeah, I got C1 in French. What will Madam Director have me do?”

“How’s that possible, that Porsche 918 from earlier this morning was not President Fudd’s main steed. Besides, you worked here for so long, have you ever seen President Fudd flirting with any female staff?”

“Fair point, I can’t help by feel that President Fudd is gay. It’s odd for a man so charming to not get married or dating.”

“Says who, wasn’t he close to that celebrity Yanny Joy?”

“I’m unclear with President Fudd’s personal matters, but I sure am familiar with the owner of that Porsche 918!”

“Who is it, who! Hurry up and say it!”

“Our president’s own nephew, the heir to Yellen Enterprise, Yellen Bodd!”

“Goddammit, so that’s why Verian Mont dared to be late to work on her first day! She actually had a thing with Yellen Bodd!”

“From how I see it, she doesn’t seem to be too impressive, Director Xander obviously dislikes her. Just you guys watch. It wouldn’t take a few days for Director Xander to get her out of the design department!”

“Well said, our Director Xander is the sister in law to President Fudd!”

Verian Mont sat on the toilet bowl. She was listening to the group of women gossiping and only got out after hearing the shuffling sounds of footsteps leaving.

She was used to seeing companies rejecting new staff members. Besides, Fudd Group was such a huge company, there should also be a huge amount of gossip going around.

She was clutching her phone in her hands. She was contemplating if she should send Heaton Fudd a text to explain what happened this morning.

Since she was never a person to take the fall and she did not mean to burn Zaynie. She was unwilling to carry this blame around.
