Married to the Billionaire by Chance

Chapter 31 Gossip Is Human Nature

Rosa nodded in admiration. "Alright, you should pack up and give notice to the sales department tomorrow morning."

Gracelyn nodded and left the office.

She knew Allyson was behind this. Allyson was tight with Rosa, so Gracelyn's opinions didn't matter.

Gracelyn couldn't quit, but it would give Allyson what she wanted. Therefore, Gracelyn would stay and see what Allyson could do to her.

With that thought, Gracelyn heaved a sigh of relief and sped to Jovanny's company on her electric bike.

The road had less congestion now than in the morning. She quickly reached the company building and took out her phone to text Jovanny.

Gracelyn: "I am here."

Jovanny didn't reply immediately because he was busy with his work. After a dozen minutes, he saw her text message.

He thought for a while and replied, "Coming."

Gracelyn: "I parked the bike on the right side of the road. You just need to come and find me. No one from your company will see us here."

Jovanny stared at her message with a strange expression.

Why did she make it sound like they were having an affair?

Brenden came over holding some documents. When he saw Jovanny leaving with his coat, Brenden felt surprised and asked, "Why are you getting off work so early?"

Jovanny raised his wrist and looked at his watch. "It's almost 7 o'clock. How is it early?"

Brenden was dumbfounded and opened his mouth. It didn't sound like Jovanny.

"You used to think it was early." Brenden raised his brows and sized him up. "Something is wrong with you. Tell me honestly. Did your wife come to pick you up?"

Jovanny glanced at him and didn't answer his question. Then Jovanny picked up his things and left.

Jovanny left the company and saw Gracelyn's electric bike parked not far away. She was wearing a helmet and looking around sneakily like a spy.

He strode toward her and shouted, "Gracelyn."

She was startled and quickly got off the bike. Then she handed him a black helmet and said, "Hi, you. Here you are."

Jovanny took the helmet and put it on his head skillfully because it wasn't the first time he had done this.

Although it was only the second time, he was used to it and calmly got onto the bike.

Gracelyn quickly sat on the bike and said, "Sit tight."

"Let's go." He put his hands on her waist. As expected, her body stiffened.

However, she didn't show it and acted normally. She thought Jovanny didn't notice it.

It was time to get off work. Some senior leaders heard Jovanny run away before finishing reading the documents, and they all scurried to the windows to look down.

Then they saw him getting on Gracelyn's bike.

The marvelous Jovanny Latimer, CEO of S&C, who had tens of billions of dollars, actually sat on a woman's pink bike.

"Gee, how did he do it so naturally?"

"You have no idea. It's the rich's romance."

"Did you see what his wife looked like? I am so curious."

"I need to ask Mr. Sturt about that. He must have seen her."

"Why are you all leaning on the windows like thieves? Are you planning to jump off the building?"

Speak of the devil, and he shall appear. Brenden stood behind them. They were in the upper echelons of the company and had authority in their departments, but they were watching Jovanny riding a bike like children.

What if their subordinates saw this? It would be bad.

After Brenden spoke, everyone looked back and surrounded him.

"Mr. Sturt, please show us a picture of Mr. Latimer's wife!"

"Right! Please satisfy our curiosity!"

Brenden looked at them with a wry smile and said, "Why aren't you this excited about work?"

Sure enough, gossip was human nature. When someone seemed to be unaffected by a piece of gossip, it must be because he wasn't interested in this particular one.

Take these people as an example. If they were shown a showbiz magazine, they wouldn't even look at it.

But they would run to see a picture of Gracelyn.

Of course, Gracelyn didn't know anything about what was happening in the company. She focused on taking Jovanny home.

On the way, she suddenly asked him, "What do you want to eat for dinner?"

"Anything is fine."

Jovanny was sitting comfortably on the back of the scooter and held her waist with his large hands.

Gracelyn's waist was slim. It was as if he could break it easily.

"The vegetable market might be closed now. But the supermarket also has vegetables."

But the vegetables there were more expensive.

"Then we should save trouble by eating in a restaurant."

Gracelyn froze and said, "It will cost a lot to eat in a restaurant. The money would be enough to buy one week's vegetables. We are in debt, so we should save money."

Jovanny's mouth corners twitched as he said, "I have coupons."

Then he added, "They are going to expire soon."

When she heard that, she quickly drove to the roadside and looked back at Jovanny, asking, "Which restaurant's?"

He thought for a while and remembered a name, "Jade Restaurant."

Gracelyn took out her phone and searched its location. It was in the city center and not far away, about 1.2 kilometers. But it would cost her around 200 dollars.

"It's so expensive?"

Jovanny glanced at her phone and said in a flat tone, "I can save you 90% of the bill with my coupon."

"Well..." Gracelyn was surprised. How could he have such a coupon?

"Let's go quickly, or it will be closed," he urged and typed on his phone.

"Alright, it will be a waste if we don't use this coupon."

Gracelyn had never gone to such an extravagant restaurant before. She was shocked by the fantastic coupon but assumed the discount could be accumulated. Perhaps Jovanny was frugal and saved it.

She changed the destination in the navigation and headed for the restaurant.

When she saw it, she knew she couldn't afford it, but luckily, she had the coupon.

"Show me your coupon. I am afraid we can't use the discount all at once."

Jovanny stared at her for a few seconds. He didn't have it. He made it up.

Gracelyn also stared at him.

He coughed and said with a strange expression, "It isn't in paper. We need to find it in the restaurant's system."

"I see. Then let's go in and ask." Gracelyn parked her scooter near some bikes.

They went across the road, and Jovanny suddenly grabbed her arm, pulling her back. "Watch out."

The minute he said that, a car sped by in front of her. If he hadn't pulled her, she might have been hit by it.

"Why did that car ignore a red light?"

"It's normal." It was a Lamborghini.

Gracelyn patted her chest and found he was still grabbing her arm. Her cheek turned hot, and she slowly pulled her arm out.

Her action made Jovanny freeze for a while. Then he looked at her in surprise.
