章 52: Idle Gossip

Lucy shut down her laptop when she finished working few minutes to closing hour and picked up the documents she needed to return to her secretary. She knew she could easily call her secretary over to pick them up, but she needed to be sure the staff in her unit were all doing their job and not slacking off simply because she was not around to monitor them.

She stopped outside the office door when she heard the conversations going on inside. 

"Do you think perhaps the boss likes her? I mean she just got here and is already working at the CEO's office. Isn't that a bit strange?" A feminine voice asked. 

"Or perhaps she is being punished for something? Who knows?" Another asked. 

"Whatever it is, I really hope she is okay. The CEO is such a weirdo and I can't even imagine what he looks like to be hiding his identity this way. I've been here for three years, and never once have I spied him coming in or leaving," She heard her secretary say.
