Sunny was just about to enter when she heard a slap from inside, causing her to rush into the department.
"What on earth is going on?" she asked.
"Director Sunny, this lady disrespected Mrs. Ji," Jiang Rui said, pointing at Lianne.
"Really?" Sunny inquired.
"Yes, Mrs. Ji is the President's wife," a blonde-haired lady added.
"Which wife? She..." Sunny began, but Lianne signaled for her not to reveal her identity. Lianne suspected that Sunny already knew her identity and didn't want it to be disclosed.
"I don't care if she's the President's wife or not. Even the President wouldn't condone this. If you can't do your work well, then I suggest you go to the HR department and submit your resignation letter," Sunny said sternly, before turning towards Lianne, almost tempted to bow respectfully but stopping herself just in time.
"Come to my office," Sunny instructed Lianne before turning away.
"Jun told you about me, didn't he?" Lianne asked once they were in Sunny's office.
"Yes, he did. I'm truly sorry the news got out. I don't know how it happened because I didn't tell anyone," Sunny apologized.
"Don't worry. It doesn't matter. Just don't reveal my identity. They think Song Yu is Jun's wife, so let them keep believing that," Lianne requested.
"Okay. I won't tell," Sunny agreed with a smile. Suddenly, she remembered where she had seen Lianne before.
"You're the lady who helped that old woman at the mall a few weeks ago, right?" Sunny exclaimed.
"How do you know that?" Lianne asked.
"I was the one who called security when you helped her. The President really knows how to choose well. Even if he hadn't told me, I still wouldn't have believed Song Yu was his wife," Sunny remarked, sensing that they could become good friends.
"Thank you. You flatter me too much," Lianne replied with a smile.
After discussing for some time, Lianne returned to her station. Since they had been reprimanded for bullying Lianne, they decided to try a different approach to appease the "President's wife."
Jiang Rui and her followers approached Lianne, telling her that as a new employee, she was expected to treat the entire team to dinner.
"Why only me? Isn't Song Yu also new? Besides, she's the CEO's wife, so she should be able to afford it," Lianne taunted, causing Song Yu to react immediately.
"You..." who did she think she was. She was using the name of the CEOs wife and yet this lady dare to disrespect her
"Song Yu is the CEO's wife. Since it has come to this, the cost for dinner will be split evenly. Let's see how you beg for mercy then," the blonde-haired woman chimed in.
"Our President's wife cannot be seen eating in a low-class restaurant. So let's dine at the Gourmet Palace," Jiang Rui suggested, thinking it would be a way to punish Lianne, but instead, it ended up causing inconvenience to Song Yu.
"Fine," Lianne agreed and sealed the deal.
"Xiaomi, are you sure this will be okay?" a woman named Kang Hye Jin, who had been supportive of Lianne, asked. She believed the treatment of Lianne was unjust.
"I'll be fine, Hye Jin," Lianne reassured her.
"If you say so. It's lunch break now. How about we grab some lunch together?" Hye Jin suggested.
"I'm sorry, I already promised to have lunch with someone else," Lianne recalled her promises to Jordy before being let go. She had promised to have lunch with him every time and accompany him to work.
"Oh, is he your boyfriend?" Hye Jin playfully inquired, wiggling her eyebrows.
"I never said it was a guy," Lianne coyly replied.
"Whatever, but is it your boyfriend?" Hye Jin persisted.
"More like my husband," Lianne revealed, showing her ring.
"What? You're married?" Hye Jin gasped in shock.
"Yeah, and I have to go now," Lianne said, standing up.
As they both departed, Lianne discreetly slipped into the elevator and headed to Jordy's office. Fortunately, most people had gone for their lunch break, allowing her to move unnoticed.
Meanwhile, Ji Huan hurried into Jordy's office with news.
"There's a problem. I don't know how it happened, but the news of Sister-in-law coming to work has spread around the entire design team. Everyone knows her identity now," Ji Huan stated before Lianne entered the office. He put on a smile as he greeted Lianne and then left, leaving Jordy to deal with the situation.
"My love," Jordy greeted Lianne, pulling her into his arms.
"You told Director Sunny about our relationship, didn't you?" Lianne asked directly.
"Well..." Jordy hesitated, scratching the back of his head. He then held her hands and led her to the couch.
"I'm sorry. I just wanted to make sure nothing happened to you," Jordy explained, gently rubbing her hand and creating sparks between them.
