Chapter 44 I’ve Got Great Assets

While sitting at the dining table and waiting for Chloe to finish cooking dinner, Joseph browsed through the company’s internal chat group where everyone was gossiping.

[Breaking news! Baxon’s executive got an employee pregnant. Someone saw him taking the employee to the hospital for an abortion!)

[Is this executive named Maurice Oberden?]

[Yes! How did you know?]

[His scandals have been circulating in the financial world. Rumor has it that his wife found out and confronted him at his office last year. Don’t know why they’re not divorced yet though.]

[His wife is a full-time housewife. A divorce won’t be easy considering her situation.]

Joseph scrolled down and the gossip about the Baxon’s executive ended there. He switched his phone off just as Chloe finished making the pasta.

“Ta-da, your carbonara is ready! I even made you an omelet!”

“No, I’m on a diet and don’t want to eat too much.”

broccoli for herself.
