Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 153

"What did you say?" Jean didn't know that she could laugh and cry at the same time over it. She thought that Zed became more and more irrational.

"The whole H City already knew that you are my husband. Why should I feel embarrassed?" Jean said with slight submission.

What she said somehow made sense.

Zed contentedly nodded and said, "Okay, fine. Time to work. Wait for me at the gate when you get off work."

Zed said and waved goodbye to Jean.

"Okay. Be careful on your way to work." Jean reminded.

"Sure." Zed reluctantly took his last glance at her and started the car.

When Jean walked a few steps away, she saw her colleagues who stood on the side. Their face clearly showed their envy to her and they said, "Was it Zed, Jean? Did he drive you here? You are really in love with each other!"

Jean slightly smiled and didn't say anything.

Some people really liked to gossip. You would know that they are addicted to it if you give them a bit of information.

And nodding politely and keeping silent would be the best way to shut their mouths.

Her colleagues who was treated coldly could not do anything but look at her back in despise.

'How arrogant you are!

You're just lucky because you married a rich man. Or else, you are nothing.

Don't be so assured!

One day, Zed will get tired of you and you could do nothing but cry your eyes out.'

Jean never expected that her colleagues would satisfy their addiction by talking about her behind her back.

When she got to her seat, she was surprised after she found out that Maranda was not there yet.

The colleague who sat next to her, found out that Jean was watching Maranda's seat. She leaned and asked Jean inquisitively, "Jean, it was said that Maranda already resigned. You two are good friends, right? Didn't she tell you anything?"

"What?" Jean felt so shocked and looked at her colleague dumbfoundedly.

"It's true. They said that she submitted her resignation letter yesterday. That's why she hadn't still showed up until this time yet." The colleague looked at her with sympathy and continued, "She did good in her job. God only knows why she quit."

Jean took a while to let the news sink in her mind. Then she took her phone out and dialed Maranda's number.

On the third ring, Maranda finally answered her phone with a sleepy voice. "Yes? Hello?"

"Maranda, what happened? What took you so long? You are already late. Why haven't you still showed up? I will give you 20 minutes. If you won't still come, I won't recognize you as my friend."

Jean apathetically finished her words and hung the phone up before Maranda got the chance to speak.

"Jean…"

Maranda tried to explain to her. But suddenly, the phone beeped and the call was disconnected.

Maranda, who was very frustrated, scratched her head and replayed Jean's angry voice in her head. It was not until then that she suddenly realized what Jean had said to her. She got out of bed hurriedly, grabbed her clothes and changed in the bathroom.

Twenty minutes later, Maranda appeared in the office. She was humbly standing in front of Jean's desk while gasping her breath.
