My Four Miraculous Treasures

Chapter 222

Chapter 222 The other cleaning lady nudged her admonishingly. "You talk too much."

"I'll have you know, I'm repeating Willow Nason's own words, here! Look, it was only yesterday that Willow was just another cleaning woman, the same as us! But then, at the end of her shift, Mr Hughes picked her up in his own car, the two of them went somewhere together... and then the next day, she has suddenly become his new personal aide! Imagine being promoted that high up, that quickly! Next thing you know, she'll be a major shareholder before the week is out!" These last statements were delivered with a definite tone of jealousy.

The day before, she'd honestly thought that Mr Hughes was just bringing Willow to another branch of the company to do some more cleaning.

That cleaning lady stopped, and propped her chin upon the end of her mop handle. "Mr Hughes, I'm here for you, too!" she moaned. "And I daresay, I myself am not too bad to look at!"

Her partner laughed at this, and commented, "Willow is on another level, though. She's got that sort of doe-eyed, innocent allure that drives men wild."

“And what am I, then?" Jessica asked grumpily.

"Ah... well, you're popular with other women!"
