Chapter 46
Ben looked at them steadily.
Several girls went white because of fear.
“Sir, I’m sorry! We shouldn’t be gossiping during work hours.”
The others nodded desperately, their eyes full of panic.
They thought with fear, “Damn it, why did Ben suddenly come back?
And he heard us gossiping!”
Ben was strict with the working atmosphere and they worried that they would be dismissed for their words.
Oh no. It wasn’t easy for them to get hired by the Storm Group.
The girls almost burst into tears as they thought about it.
At this time, Ben asked indifferently, “You were talking about Susan?”
Yet no one dared to speak.
The assistant next to Ben couldn’t help but remind them, “Mr. Landor is asking you!”
One of the secretaries said with trepidation, “It’s the girl who got full marks.”
“Everyone knows that the test given by the Programming Department is really hard and whoever gets full marks will definitely be prominent. And that’s why we praised her just now.” The other added.
Ben narrowed his eyes.
He agreed with that.
The test was not easy but Susan could get full marks. That meant she could be somebody.
And she was his wife..
Ben got somewhat proud of Susan.
Chapter 46
Yet he got annoyed when he heard that there were many boys around her.
“There are a lot of men hanging around her?” Ben asked coldly
“Yes.” The secretaries trembled and said, “There are several people who want to make friends with Susan, but Susan turns her back on them.”
She turned her back to them?
Ben felt better.

However, a girl then continued, “Probably she’s seeing someone else.”
“Yeah, I suppose it’s the guy she dines with every day. She only smiles to him but puts on a grim face to others.”
The girls realized that Ben was interested and became somewhat talkative.
Ben had been in a good mood before she was talkative.
Now he got upset again.
“The guy she dine with every day?” Ben asked depressedly.
“Yes. It seems to be a colleague of hers, called Jaron or something.”
“After all, they are in the same department.”
“It seems they got admitted on the same day. No wonder they are so close.”
Ben couldn’t suppress his jealousy and irritation anymore.
He clenched his hands into fists, making strange noises.
“What’s that noise?” The secretaries looked around in surprise.
Ben passed them emotionlessly.
He really wanted to know what had happened these days.
To know what kind of man Susan had been with when he was busy working.
Ben went back to the office and logged in to the Staff BBS.
It surprised Ben that Susan was so popular and she got so many fans.
TNN DO NO
Chapter 16
On the front page, there were three posts related to her.
Many things gave rise to the fact that Susan enjoyed widespread popularity. The first thing was that Roy got dismissed after Ben found out she slandered Susan.
And the second one was that people knew she would be a leader in the future since she got the full marks in the test.
It was normal to be curious about her at the moment.
“Ah, I took a photo of her again. She rejected another person just now.”
“Susan is really cold.”
“She isn’t always indifferent. Look, this photo shows that she was smiling happily.”
Ben got jealous when he saw Susan and Jaron dining together.
Susan was giving her bright smile as Jaron said to her.
He was wordless with rage.
Ben stared at Jaron.
“Is Susan treacherous?
She likes such a young boy?” Ben wondered.
Ben put his hand on the keyboard expressionlessly.
Several seconds later, he had deleted all the post and smiled satisfyingly.
After a while, the secretary knocked on the door and came in.
“Mr. Landor.” The secretary looked at Ben, wishing to speak.
“What’s wrong?” Ben asked.
The secretary wished to speak but stopped on a second thought.
Ben frowned, “Just say it.”
The secretary took a deep breath and plucked up the courage to ask, “Mr. Landor, did you delete the post just now? You can order others to do so if you are in need.”
Ben was wordless.
Ben wondered why the secretary would know about it.
Ben realized it after he saw his ID.
Last time, he deleted the post by hacking and no one knew that he did it.
Driven by anger, he actually used his working ID to delete the post.
Now almost everyone in the company knew that someone with the work number of 000 deleted several posts a few minutes ago.
All the posts had something to do with Susan.
Without exception!
Ben stopped talking.
The secretary was trembling.
Previously, Ben stopped to ask about Susan, but now he deleted the posts about her.
The secretary felt strange.
After a long time, Ben said faintly, “It’s alright. It didn’t hurt me.”
“Alright?” The secretary was confused.
In a better mood, Ben waved his hand, “You may go.”
The secretary left in a daze.
Ben was really happy to see the new posts.
“Unbelievable! Mr. Landor came to the Staff BBS for Susan.”
“Something between Mr. Landor and Susan.”
“Though I’m supposed to button up my mouth, I just want to say Ben might have a crush on Susan. He’s weird.”
“By the way, Ben seemed to be married although I don’t know his wife.”
“So Ben wanted us to focus more on work than on Susan?”
There was a heated discussion.
They finally concentrated on Ben and Susan.
And Jaron was forgotten.
Ben’s face cracked into a smile
Now he got what he wanted.
“Sir, your lunch is ready. Would you like to have it right now?” The secretary called with the hotline and asked respectfully.
Ben raised his eyebrows and suddenly said, “You guys have my lunch. I’ll have mine in the canteen.”
He just remembered that Susan smiled brightly at Jaron when they dined together.
So Ben changed his mind.
The secretary asked himself inside, “In the canteen?”
The secretary was in great surprise when hanging up.
He didn’t know what was wrong with Ben.
He guessed Ben intended to lead an ordinary life.
There were many lunch choices in the Storm Group.
And Ben chose the one that Susan often went to.
Ben said to himself that he was there for the dishes instead of Susan.
