Chapter: 212
"Ms. Chavez, are you feeling better now?"
"Your concern is appreciated. I'm almost back to full health."
Sabrina responded with a smile and a nod.
She then proceeded to her office.
Whispers echoed from the trailing crowd.
"Did you see that? Ms. Chavez and Mr. Blakely emerged from the same elevator.”
"Do you honestly believe the media's exaggerated stories? They are siblings, nothing more."
The man beside her scoffed, "Siblings sharing a car in the middle of the night, drunk? They didn't grow up together. I'm not buying their sibling act."
"Got some juicy tidbits. Do you want to hear it?"
"Spill the beans."
"Word has it that Ms. Chavez wouldn't have landed a job with Blakely Group. Mr. Cesar Blakely adopted her out of respect for his bond with her father. How could he allow her to meddle in their business? But how was she supposed to accept that? Once Mr. Cesar Blakely is dead, she is nothing to the Blakely family. Hence, her choice to make a place for herself within Blakely Group. Only then can she retain her standing."
"Go on."
"And? Haven't you caught on? Next, she got involved with the CEO. Does that clear things up? Mr. Cesar Blakely is on in years and could pass on any day now. She needs to secure a support system. The sibling act is merely a facade. In rich households, sibling rivalry is no novelty.
Furthermore, when she joined the Blakely family, the CEO was already a grown man."
"No way. I refuse to believe Ms. Chavez could be such a person."
"Why shouldn't she be? In these families of fortune, the improbable can become reality.”
"What are you implying?" Suddenly, A stern voice echoed from the rear.
The workers instantly halted their chatter.
With a serious expression, Kylan surveyed them all, his words carrying a cold tone. “Have you forgotten about this company's regulations? This is work time, not time for idle chatter. You will all be fired if I spot you do it again the next time."
The office fell into a hushed silence, and nobody dared to speak again.
