Tears of Envy
Deep down, she didn’t want to see this.
Gloria entered the building.
The executives of Brown Group had prepared this meeting for months, but Mr. Brown called it off.
And he didn’t give an exact answer as to when to hold it.
Jonathan stood them up, but no one could challenge him. They understood it and believed that he had
something more important to do.
Still, they couldn’t help talking about it.
“Is there anything important on Mr. Brown’s schedule? Can we have the meeting today?” asked Mr.
Evans.
“Hard to say. Mr. Brown has always been punctual. He made an exception today probably for an
emergency,” Mr. Murray said.
“Anyway, the meeting will be held, and we should get prepared,” Mr. Clarke said.
Full of doubts, people commented one after another. Jonathan had always been time-conscious.
He had never been late for anything, and his decisions had never been changed before.
What was this important thing that made him act out of the ordinary?
Gloria’s arrival surprised the receptionist. After all, Gloria had been the woman of the hour lately and
the object of their boss’s confession.
It was surprising that she appeared in the office building of Brown Group. Is she really entangled with
Mr. Brown?
Oblivious to the watchful eyes, Gloria got on Jonathan’s dedicated elevator because she didn’t want to
run into anyone. It was great that no one else dared to take this elevator.
The receptionist called the secretary who transferred the call to Jonathan.
As soon as the line got through, the receptionist reported, “Sir, Ms. White has gone up on your
dedicated elevator.”
Jonathan smiled with his eyes. This was nice.
He knew that Gloria was not a fan of trouble, but her action highlighted her status. Without a doubt,
many people in the office would talk about it.
He was glad to see their relationship getting ambiguous.
“I see.”
Jonathan responded before hanging up the phone.
He started to look forward to Gloria’s arrival.
There was an uproar in the internal chat group of the company.
The receptionist posted a photo of Gloria, and the others commented on it.
“No doubt about it. She is drop-dead gorgeous! Gloria is beautiful. As a woman, I don’t envy but admire
her!” commented Kathryn from the Foreign Ministry.
“That makes two of us!” commented Bonnie from the Secretary Department.
“So what? At the end of the day, she is a divorced woman! How could Mr. Brown possibly fall for her?
He is just using her!” commented Julian from the Sales Department.
“Is this a joke? Mr. Brown told me not to intercept Ms. White, and she took Mr. Brown’s dedicated
elevator, okay? Do you know what it means?” commented Denise the receptionist.
“She is Norma, remember? Norma has helped Mr. Brown a lot. Isn’t that normal?” commented Julian.
“Oh my God!” Bonnie commented.
“Ah, she has gone up. Tears of envy,” Denise commented.
Before long, hundreds of people left their comments, and the entire building was soon a madhouse.
