"I missed you, so I came to pick you up," Percy said sweet nothings without hesitation despite being surrounded by employees from Brilliant. He did not feel embarrassed at all.

He pressed the elevator button, and the doors slowly opened.

Percy and Nina entered the elevator together.

Nina looked at the people standing outside the elevator doors and asked, "Aren't you guys coming in?"

"Ms. Langdon, we wouldn't want to be a third wheel. We'll catch the next one." The employees chuckled and waved.

Nin's face slightly reddened. Since no one entered, the elevator doors slowly closed and descended.

One of the Brilliant employees could not help but exclaim, "Ms. Langdon and her fiancé have such a good relationship."

"Fiancé? They're legally recognized as a married couple now. It's just that they just haven't had the wedding ceremony yet. Besides, haven't we already received the wedding invitations?" another employee corrected her.

"Come on, it was just a slip of the tongue. They're such a sweet couple, and it doesn't seem like there's any problem between them. Who on earth spread the rumor that Ms. Langdon was abused by her husband?" the employee who had just exclaimed suddenly questioned.

Nina's face was swollen back then, and for some reason, a rumor spread in the company that Nina was being abused by Percy.

The parties involved did not say anything, but the rumor spread like wildfire behind their backs.

"Many couples appear loving in public, but who knows what happens behind closed doors until it shows on their faces?"

"So, you mean it might actually be true? But Mr. Mallory doesn't seem like that kind of person."

"You can't judge a book by its cover. Businessmen like them might be violent behind closed doors. A violent person tends to lay hands on those around them. Look at Ms. Langdon. She's so fragile and thin, but she has to endure her husband's fists... for the sake of money..."

Once these discussions start, even false rumors would be thought of as true.

They were deeply engrossed in their discussion, so much so that they did not even notice Sue standing behind them.
