CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

Therefore, Natalie wanted to know who spread such rumors in the company. It would be bad if Joyce heard it and thought that Natalie wished to replace her.

Even if Joyce believed Natalie did not have such intention, Joyce might begin to wonder whether Natalie would consider replacing her in the future. After all, many friends started businesses together but later became enemies due to differences.

Some even became enemies after they were influenced by others.

Therefore, Natalie now suspected that someone was deliberately sabotaging her relationship with Joyce and spreading such rumors.

Seeing Natalie's expression darkened, the assistant knew she had made a grave mistake and angered Natalie. Therefore, she bowed and explained, “No, no one told me this. I was only guessing.”

“You guessed it?” Natalie pressed her lips together. “What is the basis of your guess?”

“From Ms. Rivers' behavior.” The assistant kept her head down. “Two days ago, Ms. Rivers applied for leave and distributed all her work to others. She even distributed some of the works that only she could handle.”

“What?” Natalie stood up in shock. “Did you say she even distributed the works that only she could do?”

“Yes.” The assistant nodded. “Previously, I was shocked too and asked Ms. Rivers why she did that. Ms. Rivers said she might never return, so she distributed her work in advance to let others familiarize themselves with them. Then, they would not be thrown into disarray. Thus, I thought Ms. Rivers wanted to resign from her position and asked whether you are appointing another director.”
