Chapter 685 - Office's Gossips
~ At Sy Corp Building ~
Alveena, Andrew, and Clifford arrived together at the Sy Corp. The couple was in a bright mood since something good happened last night.
Their relationship was now official for both families. They didn't have to hide it anymore from Alveena's side. Aside from that, they were also happy since they made love several times last night until dawn.
They wondered if Clifford had noticed something. But seeing his undisturbed expression, they assumed that Clifford hadn't heard them last night. Besides, Alveena and Andrew tried their best not to make loud noises.
Starting today, Andrew was Alveena's personal assistant. Upon entering Alveena's office, her secretary and other staff under her finance department were surprised to see Andrew Davis with her.
They started murmuring to each other as they watched Alveena and Andrew enter her office.
"What is Mr. Andrew Davis doing here?" One employee asked Alveena's secretary who was also clueless.
Alveena's secretary just shrugged her shoulders.
"I will check, Boss. Maybe she will inform me about something." Alveena's secretary said, before following Alveena and Andrew.
The other staff continued talking about Andrew.
"Oh my gosh, just like Tristan Davis, Andrew Davis is undeniably handsome. The Davis Brothers are really an epitome of god of beauty."
"Yes. They have different temperaments. But both of them look charming and cool in their own way!"
"Hey, stop dreaming about them. They are not single and available anymore! Besides, we have CEO Clifford Sy on our side. He is so gorgeous as well. And most importantly, he is still single." One female staff spoke up, bringing up Clifford.
The other ladies shook their heads helplessly.
"Our CEO is a woman-hater. Even if you try to seduce him, I don't think you will stand a chance. You will end up crying in the end. Besides, Our CEO is frightening. Are you not afraid of him?"
"But did you notice that our CEO's temperament somehow changed a little? I observed lately that he was no longer that intimidating as compared to before."
Some ladies agreed with her. They also noticed a sudden change in their CEO's behavior lately. They just hoped it would continue.
He was becoming less frightening and they could now approach him without getting scolded. He was known for being strict, cold, and grumpy.
"But wait… speaking of Andrew Davis… have you heard that he already broke up with his long-time fiancee? He has a new lover!"
"Really? Who is the new girl?"
"Wait, let's check the news article. The girl's name was mentioned there."
The ladies checked their phones and searched for the news article about Andrew and his new girlfriend. Everyone gasped in surprise when they read Alveena's name.
"Oh my gosh! Don't tell me… the Alveena in this article is none other than our Finance Director, Alveena Sy?"
"No way?!! Alveena Sy and Andrew Davis? Being together? But Sy and Davis Families are competitors… Will the family both approve of it?"
"Hey, don't you recall the last press conference of the Heavenly Star? The Chairman Luke Davis even mentioned that they would be happy to collaborate with the Sy Corp and Sy Family."
"Oh my gosh! This is gonna be a hit! A news story about two competing families reuniting in marriage."
"Hey, don't jump to conclusions first! Let's wait for the official announcement. Let's not assume things!"
They were still in the middle of their conversation when Alveena's secretary came out of her office. She immediately rushed in their direction, ready to share some information.
"Ladies, brace yourself for what I am about to tell you!" Alveena's secretary couldn't wait to tell them what she found out.
The other female staff focused their attention on her, anticipating her next words.
"Andrew Davis… he is now the personal assistant of our Finance Director!!! He will be working here starting today!!"
"What??!"
"Is that true?"
"Oh my gosh! I think our assumption is true!"
"There's no way the Davis Family would allow that?! Maybe the two of them are in a relationship!"
The finance department was in uproar after hearing the news that Andrew would be working at the Sy Corp as Alveena's personal assistant. As far as they knew, Andrew is the finance director of Heavenly Star Enterprise. They still couldn't believe that he was there right now in the Sy Corp Building.
'What is happening in the world?'

Meanwhile, in Clifford's office, he was already waiting for Bianca to arrive. He wondered why she was late today. He already told her to come at 7:00 but it was already past 9:00 and she hadn't arrived yet.
Then a wild imagination came into his mind.
"Don't tell me… she and Brandon really did it last night? Did she try to sleep with Brandon? A one-night stand?" Clifford's eyes widened at that thought.
He shook his head trying to erase those wild imaginations in his mind. He was contemplating whether to call Brandon or not.
After a while, Clifford knitted his eyebrows together. 'Why am I thinking like this? I should not care whether they sleep or not.'
But Clifford could no longer hold his curiosity. He picked up his phone and dialed Brandon's phone number.
It rang for several seconds. Clifford was a little bit anxious as he waited for Brandon to answer his call.
It did not take long when the call finally got through then he heard Brandon's sleepy voice from the other line. It looked like he had just woken up.
"Hello, Cliff?"
The frown on Clifford's face deepened as he realized that Brandon should be at work by now since it was already past nine but he sounded like he just woke up.
"Brandon, where are you?" Clifford asked him curiously.
"I'm at the Star Hotel, why? Do you need something?" Brandon lazily mumbled while yawning.
Clifford felt like a cold bucket of water was thrown all over his body when he heard that as his wild imagination started kicking in once again.
'Damn… Bianca and Brandon slept in the Star hotel…?! Is that the reason she is late today?'
