Chapter 371 The Dining Party (Part One)


    "Mrs.Lu, what brings you here today?" David was busy at that time, but he was stunned to see Autumn


    there. So he stopped for a minute and approached her. "The president is not here right now."


    "Where is Le?" Autumn asked subtly.


    "Le is out with the president; there is a dining party nned for this evening. Why are you here at this


    odd time?" David seemed to be out of favor these days; Charles took Le with him no matter where


    he went. David knew that Le helped Charles sign several big orders, which no doubt indicated of her


    strong ability to handle work professionally. So David could understand why Charles thought so highly


    of Le.


    David was not bitter, but it did not mean that Autumn was not angry about it, either. She frowned as she


    further asked, "David, in the past didn''t you always apany him on such asions? Since when


    has it be Le and why?"


    David was stunned, as he realized Autumn was jealous, so without wasting a second he exined,


    "Please don''t misunderstand the situation. Le has helped Mr. Lu bag several big orders recently. The


    partners in today''s dining party were all received by Le, and she was able to handle them. That''s


    reason why Mr. Lu took her along. Don''t think too much."


    "Is this absolutely true?" Autumn was confused and frowned, as she felt things were not that simple.


    They could not be so ck and white especially with Le involved.


    "It''s true. You really don''t have to worry about it." David said in a soft tone, "How about... I drive you


    home now? it is quitete. Mr. Lu could bete tonight, as a few days back he left a dozen partners


    without saying a word after learning that you were sick. Le stayed here all night working and finally


    the partners chose not to leave thepany. So Mr. Lu is going to apologize and set things right."


    "No, but thank you for the offer." Autumn was so happy to hear that Charles left the partners


    immediately and ran to the hospital to see her. Maybe... she was really too suspicious over nothing.


    "I drove myself here, so I''ll go home by myself." Autumn handed the food she packed over to David


    and said, "It''s the food I brought for you. Have a good meal!"


    "Thank you so very much, Mrs. Lu." David smiled and said, as he worked overtime with Alice in the


    table in the cafeteria as they began to eat the food Autumn brought them. Alice said, "Although Mrs. Lu


    left thepany by the time I joined, I really feel that... Mr. Lu is so lucky to have married such a


    beautiful andposed woman like Mrs. Lu."


    "Yes, he is." David sighed and went on, "Mrs.Lu has always been incredibly nice, and she treated us


    like family while she was still working here. It seems impossible to behave so humbly had it been any


    one else."


    "David..." Alice meditated for a moment and then said anyway, "It''s not surprising that Mrs. Lu


    overthinks so much. As a bystander, even I think that the rtionship between Mr. Lu and Le is not


    that simple as it may appear on the surface. I mean, they go in and out together every day. Rumors are


    already doing rounds in thepany."


    "That is utter bullshit." David said coldly, "Mr. Lu only cares about Mrs. Lu. How could he possibly share


    an inappropriate rtion with Le?"


    "You have no idea about that." Alice frowned. "Le has always been making excuses to take the


    private elevator with Mr. Lu these days, and they also engaged in social activities together. Anyway, it''s


    spreading downstairs now. But we are in the secretarial office and too close to Mr. Lu, so the rumor mill


    has not reached us."


    Alice frowned and said, "We know they go out for work, but people who don''t know... would


    immediately assume they are having an affair."


    "Enough, we should not... even have such inappropriate talk about the president. Don''t say that in front


    of me again, and especially be careful not to be caught by Mr. Lu having such a lewd conversation."


    David frowned tightly. Alice was not the kind of person who liked to gossip. She had always engrossed


    in doing her job perfectly since she got in Shining Company''s secretarial office, and she was not willing


    to interfere in other''s business.


    David could see that Alice was much more capable than Le at work, but she would just not like to get


    in all this.


    But what was wrong with her today? Why would she start gossiping about trivial matters that do not


    concern her?


    "David..." Alice frowned. "I would not have said that usually and I''m sorry to have said it in the first


    ce."


    The bigger thepany is, the more conflicts there would be. Alice knew that apart from doing her own


    job well, she shouldn''t meddle in other people''s business. That was why she could see it clearly, the


    rumors were spread from the secretary office. Except for her and David, only Le would do that


    herself.


    This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    Le had exhausted all efforts to get close to Charles, and ultimately spread the rumor herself. What a


    devious woman she was!


    Alice could not bear to see Le to do that. "David, I''m not gossiping with you, it''s just that... the rumors


    started from the secretary office. You should know what that means."


    David frowned. Of course, he knew what that meant. He had already warned Le, but she was still


    incorrigible, that''s why it happened.


    Alice looked at David who was sitting across her, and she said, "Mrs. Lu is such a good person. We


    should help her as much as we can. If Le ever gets a hold of that position, do you think... we would


    still be here?"


    David did not say anything, but he knew that if Le got in that position, she would definitely not let him


    go.


    "David, you have been following everything after all, and Mr. Lu would listen to you, so I think... you


    should express all of this to Mr. Lu." After Alice finished speaking, David nodded and said, "Well, I


    understand. I will... find a chance to talk to Mr. Lu about this pressing matter."


    After hearing David said that, Alice embraced silence. After all, what she should do and what she


    wanted to do had been done.


    Meanwhile, in Royal Hotel, Charles and Le were negotiating with one of thepanies. The reason


    he took Le there was because she was familiar with these partners. And she knew how to


    Although he hated to admit it, beautiful girls did hold some advantages while dealing with business.


    Charles was bond to got thepany''s order, that''s why he was so nervous and even attended the


    party by himself.


    Mr. Xu sat beside Charles; the businessman always preferred to talk about business at the wine table.


    If they talked happily, no, actually drank happily, then the business was a done deal.
