Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 1257

Chapter 1257: A gossip he would surely enjoy.

The next day...

[Pierson Corporation]

"But is it true?" one employee asked her colleague as they walked across the lobby.

"Well, who knows?" the other employee shrugged. "It’s not like we can really tell what’s going on up there. As long as we have a job that pays us like this company, who cares if the CEO is getting replaced?"

The other nodded in agreement. "You’re right," she said, pursing her lips as she trod carefully. "But I think... the new COO is a little hot, don’t you think?"

"Shh!"

"What?"

"Didn’t you know?"

"Know what?" the other asked in confusion, furrowing her brows. She leaned in and gasped as her colleague whispered the latest gossip in the office. "Really? He and his secretary...?"

The colleague nodded and put her finger in front of her lips. "People have been noticing and hearing them talk to each other. But don’t tell anyone you heard it from me."

"Are you sure?"

"Shhh!" the colleague panicked, looking around cautiously. She slapped her office mate mildly once she was sure no one had heard them. "I told you to be quiet, but yes. That’s what the witnesses say after hearing them talk about their feelings for each other."

"Oh, my god..." The other employee covered her mouth, only to notice that her colleague had suddenly stopped walking. "Hey, what’s wrong? Why did you suddenly stop?"

She trailed off, following where her colleague was looking. When she did, her eyes fell on the entrance, where a sophisticated woman was walking in, surrounded by a few bodyguards.

Penny’s wavy hair bounced with every step; her attire was simple but smart casual, with a blazer draped over her shoulder. Yet the air around her was simply divine. With her glasses and signature bright red lips, the two employees who were on their way out for lunch instinctively stopped to watch her make her way into the building.

"Wow..." The other colleague was in awe, her eyes almost glued to Penny’s figure. "So, that’s CEO Penelope Bennet, huh?"

"This is the second time we’ve seen her here, but... how come none of the Piersons have proposed to her yet?" the other one mumbled, her eyes also glued to Penny. "We’ve seen a lot of elites come in here — even celebrities. But... how come she’s so pretty?"

Her colleague nodded. "Say... why do you think she’s here again? Is the CEO in trouble?"

"Probably just visiting her brother. The new COO is her brother, right?"

Silence fell between the two employees before one spoke under her breath. "Do you think she’s here to investigate the rumor?"

"The rumor?" The other looked at her colleague with surprise. "You mean... that the COO and his assistant are in a relationship?"

As soon as that was mentioned, the two of them instinctively zipped their mouths. The rumor hadn’t come from them; they were just absorbing it. Thinking they were safe, they set their eyes back on Penny’s intimidating figure. When they did, all they saw was some of the executives rushing to meet her halfway.

"Wow, Sir Benjamin is here to welcome her," one of the employees nearby couldn’t help but marvel. "It’s been a while since I saw him around."
