Passionate Devotion: Master Fudd's Beloved Wife novel Chapter 72

Before going to the company, Verian went to a pharmacy located downstairs of the Fudd Group building to buy a morning-after pill.

Early in the morning, several public elevators in the company were under maintenance. The morning was the peak time for work. In addition, Verian was forced to 'exercise' last night, resulting in poor physical strength, so she could not fight against the people to get a spot in the elevator. She took a look at her watch, thinking that she was probably going to be late again. Nancy passed by her side, and her red lips curled up with a smile. She whispered provocatively, "I heard that you quarreled with Heaton last night?"

Verian pursed her lips, and her face turned set. She saw Nancy pressed the button of the special elevator with her slender fair finger as she sneered softly. "See you later. I won't accompany you to wait for the elevator here."

The special elevator door opened, and Nancy, who stepped on her Jimmy Choo limited high heels, walked into the elevator in everyone's envious and jealous eyes. She turned to Verian and gave her a provocative smile.

When the special elevator door opened, Verian's glance unexpectedly ran into Heaton who was in the elevator.

The man's dark eyes were deep and icy that no emotions could be seen from there. When the elevator door was about to close, a male slender arm suddenly blocked the elevator door.

The special elevator door opened, and the man inside fixed his eyes on Verian. "Come in."

In Heaton's words, he did not specifically refer to anyone. There were several female employees who were standing with Verian outside. Their hearts were pounding, and their eyes turned into romantic pink bubbles. They thought that Heaton was calling them. They were shyly approaching the elevator, but Kush stopped them from the elevator. He spoke with a wooden expression. "Not you. It's her."

Kush stretched out his hand to point at Verian directly. Verian was stunned and stood blankly by the elevator door. She did not plan to enter the special elevator. She would rather squeeze in the public elevator than being in the same elevator with Heaton and Nancy. She did not want to be a third wheel.

Seeing Verian standing there with her pale face, Heaton obviously became a little unhappy. He frowned slightly and said impatiently with his solemn voice. "I told you to come in."

Verian clenched her fists. She already felt angry and had grievances in her heart. Now Heaton gave her such an order, she became even angrier. However, if she did not go in, that man would probably dawdle with her. She should not fight with him in front of those employees, so she braced herself to bear it and stepped into the special elevator.

When the elevator doors closed again, Verian heard the contemptible, disdainful, and suspicious voices outside.

"Who the hell is she? For what reason could she receive the same treatment as Director Xander to take the president's elevator upstairs?"

"Isn't Verian Jensen's girlfriend? Why is she having a shady relationship with the president?"

"She's really a coquettish cheap woman! She already has someone but still is interested in someone else!"

...

The elevator doors closed completely, shutting off the whispers outside.

Heaton stood at the back of the elevator, and Verian and Nancy entered after him, so they stood at the front of the elevator.

The atmosphere in the elevator was strange and silent. Verian stared at the red numbers on the elevator screen increasing level by level, hoping it could move faster.

The elevator reached the 60th floor. As soon as the elevator door opened, Verian hurriedly walked out of the elevator, as if it was a torment for her to stay in this elevator for an extra second. Nancy also got out of the elevator, and the elevator doors closed again. At this moment, Kush observed Heaton's face and asked carefully, "Boss, you just let Ms. Mont leave like that?"

Under the eyes of everyone, he called Verian into the president’s special elevator and clearly told everyone that Verian was special. However, the big boss’s mind was hard to guess. He thought that Heaton would take the opportunity to take Verian with him to stay in the president's office for a while. He did not expect him to let her go so easily.

In the elevator, the two of them had no communication.

They did not even have eye contact.

Heaton did not squint, and his eyes were cold and calm. His thin lips opened indifferently. "If I don’t let her go, do you want to help her with her job?"

"..."

Nancy would not believe her, so she sneered. "Who will feel well at all times? Should you go on strike if you feel unwell?"

"I didn't mean to go on strike. I'm going to send the documents."

Holding the large stack of documents, Verian turned around and walked out of the creative department quickly.

However, when she walked to the elevator door, she found that all the elevators were under maintenance, including the special elevator used by Heaton. Nancy must have known about this and deliberately make her suffer!

Enduring the physical discomfort, Verian walked back to the creative department while holding the documents.

Nancy was not surprised about her coming back. She deliberately asked her with a cold face. "Why haven't you delivered them yet?"

"The elevators are all under maintenance. I see that these documents are not too urgent. I'll wait for the elevators to be maintained, and then I'll send them."

In front of everyone, Nancy reprimanded her without considering her feelings. "Do you have the final say of whether they’re urgent or not? I said they're emergency documents. No matter whether the elevators are under maintenance or not, you must send them for me now!"

Verian squeezed her palms.

Nancy snorted coldly and said with extreme disdain. "If you think that you can't do this job, you can resign anytime."

Verian gritted her teeth and walked to the safe passage through the handrail staircase without looking back to the creative department.

Nancy's red lips curved without people noticing. Verian would walk down the staircase from the 60th floor to the 20th floor with a heavy load. Her legs would probably turn crippled today.
