Vengeful Girl with Her CEO Chapter 52

"Well? "Don't you have company business to attend to? If not so, it'd be OK to have Paul pick me up."

"Everything was done, just wait for me." He said and hung up before Linda could speak out.

While listening to the busy signal, Linda pouted her little mouth as if she was bullied by Charles Mu.

How could he always act so peremptorily?

After hanging up the phone, Charles Mu put on his jacket and were ready to leave, which confused Mary Zhang, the secretary who was responsible for minutes.

"Mr.Mu, are you going out?"

Yes.

"But, if I may remind you, there will be a key meeting in 10 minutes."

Charles Mu glanced at his watch and left the office with his car key, "Put it off until tomorrow."

"OK."

After Charles Mu stepped out the office, Mary Zhang cast a glance at receding figure of Charles.

Who had that kind of power to distract the CEO from attending an important meeting this afternoon by a single call?

Mary Zhang was all for gossip and she hurried to talk about this breaking news with her colleagues as soon as Charles Mu was out of sight.

"Hey, guess what. Mr. Mu put off a vital meeting and left with his car key after receiving a phone call." Mary Zhang whispered with her female colleagues who sat next to her.

"Pfff, how could this possibly matter? It must have been be a business partner, more important than the meeting this afternoon."

"How is this possible? I have never heard him in such a tender voice." "It must have been a woman!" Mary Zhang retorted.

"Really?" "Could it be a girfriend?"

Without the presence of their boss, Mary Zhang and the rest indulged in exchanging whispers of of gossip.

"You know what? There has been a rumour going around that Mr. Mu was engaged with the eldest lady of the Xia clan. You see, the Xia Clan has been going downward economically these years. They are clutching at straws, trying to save themselves by this marriage with the Mu clan."

"Humph, I don't buy it. It is said that the so-called Lady Xia was not even raised by her parents and merely returned home recently. Well, who knows whether she is a real lady or not."

"That's true, How could she be worthy of our Mr. Mu? He is so young and handsome. I have been working here for two years and he has not flirted with anyone in the past two years as far as I know."

"Wow, you sure know a lot about who is right for Mr. Mu. Perhaps you would hit his fancy and become the future lady of the Mu clan."

While their gossiping were in full swing, there came a voice.

"Well? "Don't you got work to do? or do you want to quit?" It turned out the words came from Paul, who was standing behind them with a stern look.

These gossipers went into a panic. It was Paul Mu! He was so influential in this company that everyone here knew him. They all murmured, "I'm screwed." It's too bad that Paul heard they gossip about Mr. Mu.

He was a capable assistant and trusted follower of Charles Mu and was thus given considerable power. In the absence of Charles or his family, Paul was the one who called the shot.

"I am terribly sorry. It's all our fault. That will never happen again." The gossipers resumed their works as quickly as they could and dare not to look back.

"If I catch you gossiping about Mr. Mu next time, you can all go to the 11th floor."

On the 11th floor was the personnel department of the Mu's company, going to which meant you were sacked.

Glancing at these gossipers, Paul sniffed and let them off the hook.

Terrified as they were, those three women were breaking cold sweats.

Paul spent the morning running an errand for Charles Mu and now came back to report something to him. He was a little bit suprised at the absence of Charles Mu since an important meeting remained to be held this afternoon as far as he knew. Why did Charles leave ahead of schedule?
