Sonnet looked at her coldly and said, "Maggie, enough with the nonsense!""I'm talking nonsense?" Maggie sneered. "You think I don't know but I’ve noticed that the car that sends you to class every morning belongs to Vice President Yates!"The crowd was in an uproar as soon as they heard that.The two presidents of Paragon Education Group were popular among the young female employees. Many had a crush on them.Maggie glanced at the crowd and raised her voice, "Sonnet is pregnant with another man’s child yet she’s still trying to sink her claws into Vice President Yates. She even made Vice President Yates serve and take care of her! She’s eating what's in her bowl while looking at what's in the pot!"A woman in the crowd immediately chimed in and scolded Sonnet for being shameless.The crowd was raging, and everyone rushed over to surround Sonnet in the middle instead of getting on the elevator. In the chaos, someone pushed Sonnet.Sonnet was caught off guard and staggered a litt
The noisy hall suddenly became so quiet that one could hear a needle drop.Everyone stared blankly at Sonnet and Johnson.Johnson put his long arms around Sonnet, and the two cuddled together. They looked great as a couple.A few seconds later, there was a boom, and the crowd erupted in chaotic discussions.Sonnet felt countless eyes staring at her and felt a little uncomfortable.She tried to break free from Johnson, but instead of letting go of her, he hugged her even tighter.His voice was loud as if he was afraid that everyone would not be able to hear him. "Everyone, that’s enough. Today, I officially announce that Sonnet is my girlfriend and the child she’s carrying is mine!"I know all about Sonnet's past, and I don't care about it. I’ll take action if I hear someone talking about Sonnet behind her back!"The noisy discussion suddenly became much quieter, and the eyes looking at Sonnet were mixed with a hint of envy.The head of security who came in a hurry clapped his
Sonnet thought about it and responded swiftly, "Okay then."Laurel laughed and waved to her. “I’ll go to class now. Talk to you later!"Sonnet smiled back and watched her step into the elevator."Let’s go to my office." Johnson whispered to her, pulled Sonnet's arm, and walked toward the elevator that only stopped on the upper floors.The elevator arrived soon, and she walked into the elevator with Johnson. The moment the elevator door closed, she saw the stunned Maggie raising her head and looking at her with a gloomy expression.She felt an inexplicable chill in her heart and unconsciously rubbed her arms."Don't be afraid. No one can hurt you with me by your side," a gentle voice said.Sonnet looked up and saw Johnson's smiling gaze.She was taken aback and acted a little mad as she said, "Johnson, who allowed you to tell the world that I’m your girlfriend?"She did not want to be in a relationship with him, but now, she was forced to become his girlfriend.Johnson shrugge
Maxwell replied with a hum followed by, "I said that to protect you. That woman can’t say anything if I say that."As he spoke, he acted a little aggrieved and his finger. "Can you tell me who accompanied you to the prenatal check-up?""What?" Sonnet asked vigilantly, "Do you want to go pick a fight with him?""How could I possibly do that? I’m sure he’s your friend, right? I was supposed to go that day but something came up at work last minute and I couldn't get out of it. Your friend went on my behalf, so I should be thanking him. Introduce him to me and I'll treat him to a meal." Maxwell acted docile in front of Sonnet.He meant to make it seem like he would never dare interfere with her friendships at all!Sonnet laughed and said, "No need. That person is Hayden Gunn, the director of Westfield Hospital. He happened to see that I was going for the maternity check-up alone, so he helped me through the back door and waited for me for a while."Maxwell smiled brightly. "Young Mas
"Maybe you should confess to her sooner rather than later?" Marcus suggested.Maxwell shook his head like a rattle. "I can’t make her angry in the coming three months. Lil Three's safety is important."He was well aware of Sonnet's temper. She would be fuming if she found out the truth, and it would affect the baby.He waved his hands a little irritably and said, "Let's wait until she gives birth to the baby.""The baby still needs to be breastfed after it’s born. If you make her angry then, the baby will have no milk to eat,” Hayden said leisurely."I’ll wait until the baby is weaned then.""After the baby is weaned, she might be so angry with you that she gets postpartum depression," Hayden continued to talk.Maxwell glared at him and said, "Are you in need of a beating? Are you done talking?"Hayden cast him a contemptuous look. "If you ask me, you’ll never be able to tell her the truth and will always have to live a fake life."Logan almost spat out his drink. He patted Ha
Sonnet looked over and saw Maggie standing at the back of the classroom. Maggie glanced in their direction before she sat down by herself in the back corner."I bet she’s ashamed to sit with us," Vespa said."Won’t she be looking for trouble if she chose to sit here with us?" Laurel snorted."I thought she was just arrogant, but I didn't expect her to do such a thing," Vespa said.Laurel rolled her eyes and replied, "She has always looked down on all of us and thinks that she’s smarter and more capable than others. She must have fallen in love with Mr. Yates and was envious and hateful when she found out that Mr. Yates sent Sonnet to school. She thought she was exposing Sonnet's true colors, but she didn't expect that she’d be the clown."Vespa went on, "She made a fool of herself, and it may be difficult for her to climb up to the headquarters. When others hear that she has offended Mr. Yates, they won’t pay much attention to her.""It’s important for one to be mindful. One shou
"We have a team-building event tonight," Juliette said happily."Huh? Why so sudden?" Sonnet was surprised. If it was a team-building event, they should have been notified of it several days in advance."I don't know. The principal notified me when I came to work in the afternoon. Do you know what’s the most important thing? The location of the event!" Juliette said excitedly."Where?" Sonnet asked curiously."In the evening, we’ll have the luxurious buffet at Grand Harbor City Hotel before we head to karaoke!""Grand Harbor City Hotel's luxurious buffet?" Sonnet was also surprised. "It costs 200 to 300 dollars per person there, right?""Isn't that right? I've never been to a team-building event that's as luxurious. In past events, our school would just reserve a private room that would fit two or three tables!" Juliette echoed.The teachers were quite happy all afternoon. Everyone waited for the children to be picked up by their parents in the evening before they went to touch
After taking the gifts, everyone set off for Grand Harbor City Hotel.Sonnet walked out of the school gate with Juliette and saw a small van parked outside.“Wow! Did our school get a donation from parents? Why is the principal so generous to rent a van for the team building event?” Juliette whispered.Sonnet patted her and said, “Have you forgotten? The school’s expenses are unified and allocated by the headquarters. The team-building cost should be allocated by the headquarters as well.”“But our school hasn’t achieved anything remarkable recently. Why did the headquarters allocate so much more team-building expenses than usual?” Juliette tilted her head and asked. Sonnet was choked up. She was right. It was indeed strange.Miss Jean came over with a mysterious smile and said, “Is it possible that we’re benefiting because of Sonnet?”Juliette suddenly realized it and clapped her hands. “Ah, that’s possible! Sonnet’s boyfriend is Mr. Yates, and if he wants the headquarters to
