Chapter 1142: Chapter 1142 Rumors
Charlotte Thompson naturally trusted that Zara Ward would handle the work efficiently, so she entrusted the matter to her with confidence.
However, it also reminded Charlotte of the list that Teddy Carter handed to her this afternoon.
She didn’t care who these eight people were, but she found a familiar name among them.
Yes, it was Florienna Ellis.
Sure enough, how could Mr. Carter not include Florienna Ellis on the list?
"What are you thinking about? You look so happy."
When Justin Battleson walked out of the office, he found Charlotte standing outside, her lips curved into a slight smile.
Charlotte looked up at Justin with a smile and then took his arm, "I was thinking about you."
Charlotte’s sweet nothings were like sugar in Justin Battleson’s heart, as he bent his lips into a smile and intertwined his fingers with hers.
The two of them chatted casually about some of the day’s occurrences as they were about to leave the company when they heard voices from the document room.
"I can’t believe Charlotte Thompson is that kind of person."
Upon hearing Charlotte’s name, Justin’s expression soured instantly.
Charlotte wasn’t too bothered, as she was used to overhearing office gossip about herself, but the next words from those two employees displeased her.
"I really can’t tell, Charlotte Thompson seems to be such a flirt."
"But I really don’t understand, with Charlotte and our Mr. Battleson together, why would she seek other men out? Where does Elijah Walker stand a chance against Mr. Battleson?"
"Who knows, maybe it’s just a designer’s unique taste," they whispered.
Hearing this gossip, Charlotte couldn’t help but laugh and cry at the same time.
She keenly picked up on her own and Elijah Walker’s names from the employees’ conversation.
How did they link the two of them together?
But just as Charlotte was contemplating this, Justin had already approached them.
The two employees in the document room were scared out of their wits as Justin entered, dropping everything they had just organized to the ground.
"Mr... Mr. Battleson..." one of the employees stuttered, too frightened to speak properly.
The other simply bowed their head, feigning ignorance.
"Settle your accounts with accounting tomorrow; you’re fired," Justin stated without giving them any chance to explain or buffer.
Two girls’ faces turned instantly pale, "No, Mr. Battleson, what are you talking about?"
However, Justin didn’t spare them a single sympathetic look, and he turned to his assistant, instructing him to remember these two people.
Yet one of them responded defiantly, "Why are you firing us? What did we do wrong?"
A cold glance from Justin silenced the challenging employee.
"My company doesn’t need people who idle gossip."
The employees were visibly panicked.
But at that moment, Charlotte stepped forward, her voice cold.
"What were you just talking about?"
Indeed, it was common to discuss rumors within a company, but to defame someone so casually and without foundation indicated that their intentions were not so innocent.
The two employees looked at each other upon seeing Charlotte, realizing that she had heard their conversation.
"I want to know where you heard such news, what relationship you believe I have with Elijah Walker?"
After all, rumors always had a source.
