Chapter 765 Daily Headlines (Part One)


    "Oh! So Rachel and Mr. Leng grew up together. They are youth sweethearts!" The employees


    exchanged simr expressions of dawningprehension. They turned to look at Rachel admiringly.


    For a while, all of them thought Rachel was the best prospect for Mr. Leng''s wife, which made Rachel


    feel quite smug about the whole affair.


    "Yeah! You can say that." Rachel''s lips curled upward into a big smile. Anyone could see how happy


    she was. They wondered at how God had favored her as it gave her exquisite features and an


    enchanting figure.


    "So, are you Mr. Leng''s girlfriend?" one of the employees asked. Gossip was always hot among


    women when they gathered together. For a moment, the entire office was buzzing. They waited with


    bated breaths for Rachel''s answer.


    "Why? Do you think so?" Rachel did not answer directly, but posed another question at them. The fact


    that she hadn''t denied the spection added fuel to the fire. The women grew more curious.


    "Surely you are! Otherwise why would Mr. Leng treat you so differently?" came the answer.


    "Yes! You call him by his first name, and with familiarity. We can see you are close to him," called out


    another voice in the audience.


    "Isn''t that so? Mr. Leng has never been like that with any other colleague before," someone agreed.


    The staff continued to gossip among each other. The rumor had spread like wildfire in thepany.


    For a while, thepany''s grapevine had been rife with spection that the new group leader of the


    Sales Department, Rachel, was Mr. Leng''s girlfriend. Everyone was beginning to believe it. So when


    Janice saw the gossip on thepany''s website, she was so stunned that her mouth dropped open.


    Without thinking further for a moment longer, she straightaway rushed to the President''s office.


    "Mr. Leng, you''re in serious trouble. Something has happened." Janice was usually known to keep


    calm. But today, she burst into the CEO''s office without even knocking on the door. Her sudden arrival


    disturbed Duke, who was hardly fond of interruptions. Duke red at her. His expression warned her


    that she''d better have something useful to say, otherwise she''d be done for!


    "It is you who are in trouble! What in the world happened? Why are you in such a hurry? Do you have


    any etiquette or not?" Duke fumed, giving her a disdainful look. He continued working on his


    documents.


    "I am not joking! It is an emergency. I don''t care about manners under a crisis situation! You''d better log


    in to thepany''s website page right now and see the posts!" Janice eximed. ''Hmph. Let''s see if


    you can continue to be calm after reading that post. You will regret shouting at me when you see it!''


    Janice thought gloatingly.


    "Is there something wrong with thepany website? Have any hackers invaded it? If so, you should


    go and talk to the Tech Department, not me! Why did youe here?" Duke spared her no attention as


    he handled the documents. He was quite confident of thepany''s firewall system and doubted there


    was anything wrong with the web tform. He hardly had the time or energy to deal with this drama.


    "No! It''s about you. You''d better see it quickly! I am serious. There would definitely be serious


    consequences otherwise," Janice said. If the gossip stayed inside thepany, it would not cause


    many problems. However, Janice was afraid that the moment the rumor spread to the public outside,


    Mr. Leng would be in huge trouble. After all, he was about to marry Belinda Shangguan in a few days. If


    his bride-to-be saw the post, she would misunderstand him big time. It could affect their uing


    nuptials. But Mr. Leng was also partly to me here! Why hadn''t he revealed the news of his marriage


    to his colleagues? Now everyone in thepany was taking wild guesses about his rtionship at his


    expense.


    "It''s about me? What''s the problem?" Finally, Duke put down the pen in his hand to open hisputer.


    He logged into the home page of thepany website. However, he did not find anything unusual on


    the screen. He couldn''t help but raise his head and re at Janice. She was making trouble out of


    Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.


    nothing!


    "It''s not on the homepage. Click on the daily headlines." Janice winced in fear as she prepared herself


    for his impending outburst.


    Duke rolled his eyes at Janice before looking at the screen again. ''Of course, something strange had to


    happen. Otherwise she wouldn''t get her bonus this month, '' Duke thought indignantly. Everyone


    thought that Edward was vindictive. But Duke was definitely not inferior to him in that respect.


    "What on earth! Who wrote thesements? Who posted this on the website?" Just as Janice had


    expected, Duke roared upon seeing the post. He gawked at the hot discussions under the post.


    "How would I know? As soon as I saw it, I rushed here to tell you. I also wanted to ask if this post is


    authorized. Was it you who asked someone to post this on the website?" Janice asked. She truly


    wondered if it was a possibility that Duke was the one behind this. This had been posted right after he


    hade back fromst night''s dinner party. Rachel had attended it too. If Janice connected the dots,


    it would seem that something special had happenedst night.


    "What! Do you think I''m out of my mind? Why would I ask someone to do that? Janice, Hurry up, ask


    the staff at the Tech Department to delete this page immediately. Also, tell all employees in the


    instructed. He was vexed. However, he was able to reign in his anger quickly. He was a sessful


    leader and CEO, and he was well-versed in sudden emergencies. He knew how to calm himself down


    and issuemands for subsequent damage control.


    "Yes, I will do that at once. But... Mr. Leng, is Rachel really your youth sweetheart?" Janice asked. As


    the saying goes, "Curiosity Kills the Cat." Before leaving to execute the orders, Janice still intended to


    know how Mr. Leng defended himself.


    "Janice, your bonus for this month is gone." Duke gritted his teeth in anger, scaring Janice awfully as


    she stepped back. She didn''t dare to inquire more and dashed out of the office.


    Duke watched as she sprinted away, the corner of his mouth curling. His eyes pivoted back to the


    blue veins on his forehead almost popped out.


    Onement went as, "Rachel is Mr. Leng''s secret lover and youth sweetheart!" Duke thought it was


    such a rich and preposterous imagination! Why didn''t they im he had been living with Rachel for


    eight hundred years? That would have been more convincing.


    Hastily, Janice asked the technical guy to delete the post and other relevant ones. She also issued a


    notice to the staff ordering them not to leak the rumor out, otherwise they would have consequences to


    pay. Then she unhurriedly took a trip downstairs to the Sales Department.


    "Who is Rachel, please?" asked Janice. As the primary assistant to Mr. Leng, everyone in thepany


    knew Janice. As soon as they heard her query, they all looked toward Rachel.


    "It''s me. Are you looking for me?" Rachel looked at Janice with nervousness in her eyes. She knew


    Janice was Duke''s best assistant. She didn''t dare to overstep her.


    "Pleasee with me. Your job needs to be discussed." Janice managed to convince Rachel that she


    truly had something to discuss regarding her work. As she finished speaking, Janice turned around and


    left her standing. She had seen Rachel before in thepany, but Janice pretended not to have met


    her. She didn''t want the others to specte over this event and have something new to gossip about.


    Mr. Leng was in enough deep waters as it was.


    "Janice, what do you want to talk about?" Rachel followed Janice and asked her carefully. Right now


    she tolerated the arrogance of this woman in front of her. But once she became Duke''s wife, she would


    definitely fire her!


    "You''ll know soon enough," answered Janice. Honestly, Janice didn''t like this woman at all. She had


    always considered Rachel to be badly-behaved. However, she was also curious about whether or not


    Rachel had been really familiar with Mr. Leng since a long time ago. If so, why hadn''t she seen her all


    these years? Janice felt like this could be the plot of a novel. Rachel was Mr. Leng''s ex-girlfriend. When


    she got to know Mr. Leng was getting married, she was furious about it and came back to ruin the


    wedding deliberately. Could it be true?


    Rachel bit her lower lip, narrowing her eyes at the back of Janice''s head. It looked like that she wanted


    to drill a hole into her skull with her sharp eyes. However, while talking to Janice, Rachel had to be


    cautious to please her. She believed she had more important things to do. She couldn''t fail because of


    this insignificant assistant. So, she smiled and said, "May I ask what cosmetics you use? Your skin is


    so clear and soft."


    "Sorry, I seldom use cosmetics." Janice smiled breezily. She was neither pleased by her words nor was


    she irritated. But it became clear she wasn''t interested in making friends with Rachel.


    "Really? Then you''re such a natural beauty!" Although Rachel felt embarrassed at Janice''s reaction to


    her question, she feigned surprise and praised her.


    "Thank you for thepliment! You can go into the office now. Mr. Leng is waiting for you inside,"


    Janice said, smiling politely as they reached Duke''s office. She stood at such a high position, so what


    had she not experienced? She wasn''t in the habit of paying attention to this kind ofpliments. In


    today''s society, if you took the praise seriously, you would fall.
