As soon as Nola finished speaking, there was a dead silence in the office. Everyone was stunned and stared at Nola in disbelief.
How dare Nola say that she was Mr. Grayson’s wife?
Someone pinched herself on the face, and the pain told her this was not a dream.
After a while, everyone in the office burst into laughter.
“Nola, were you still in your dream? Or did you suffer a lot after knowing Mr. Grayson is married and finally lose your mind? How could you say such crazy things? Do you think we are going to believe you?”
“That’s right. If you were Mr. Grayson’s wife, I would be the mayor’s wife. Don’t you know what kind of person you are?”
“What’s wrong? Have you seen Mr. Grayson’s wife? How can you be so sure I’m not her?”
“If you’re Mr. Grayson’s wife, I’ll stand at our company’s door, kneel before you, and use a loudspeaker to admit my defeat,” Flora said, not believing Nola’s words.
Nola chuckled and said, “I’ll remember what you said today. Did all of you hear that?”
“If you have proof that you are Mr. Grayson’s wife, we shall all do as Flora will do.”
“Okay! I’ll remember what you said.”
Nola knew that even if she told them the truth, these people would not believe it. In their opinion, Elvis‘ wife was probably the kind of woman who would only take a luxury car to the beauty salon, go shopping in the mall, or sit in a gorgeous house to arrange flowers and play the piano.
They would never believe that the secret wife of Elvis would be like her, who showed no weakness in any aspect and was tough with the person who was against her.
What are you doing here? Don’t you have work to do?” Deborah walked in, saw everyone talking, and scolded them. The others had returned to their seats, and Nola took a deep breath of relief.
But Nola could also feel a significant look from Deborah behind her.
As usual, Nola made the herbal tea, brought it to Deborah, and said, “Miss Garcia, this is your herbal tea. You can start the morning meeting in fifteen minutes, and I have prepared the materials you need.”
Deborah glanced at the herbal tea and looked up at Nola. She wanted to say something but stopped on second thought. After thinking for a long time, Deborah finally said, “Okay!”
Looking at her, Nola had already guessed what Deborah would say, but she pretended that she didn’t know and didn’t say anything. Deborah should have known what happened last night! Did Deborah also have sarcastic words waiting to say to her like those people?
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll go out and do my work.”
“Nola!” Seeing her walk to the door, Deborah stopped her. Nola turned around and looked at Deborah in confusion. Deborah thought for a moment and sighed.
“Forget it. Let’s have a meeting first! Come to my office after the meeting.”
“Okay!” The two of them were no friends, but they could talk in the calmest way. Nola’s calm attitude sometimes made people unable to get angry with her, but sometimes it was particularly infuriating.

Chapter 110
Knowing that Elvis was married, Deborah was in a very bad mood. She heard that at the banquet, Elvis‘ mystery wife had easily won Mrs. Hadley’s favor and was recognized and praised by everyone.
That must be a woman with wisdom, beauty, and elegant temperament.
Deborah was suddenly frustrated. She had been at Elvis‘ side for so long, but she had never received such high praise from anyone, yet this mysterious woman had done it so easily. She wanted to know who Elvis‘ wife was.
This must be a woman much better than her. Didn’t they say Elvis‘ mysterious wife was like a goddess?
In Deborah’s imagination, such a woman was qualified to be with Elvis.
Deborah was sad, but she also felt a secret happiness. At least this person was not Nola. Maybe Nola was in more pain than she was. But now, she saw that Nola was still doing her job as if nothing had happened.
If Nola were Elvis‘ wife, she wouldn’t have served her tea day.
Very
Mr. Grayson used to be sweet to Nola every day in the company, but now that everyone knew that Mr. Grayson had a wife, Nola had suddenly become a notorious woman in the company. Such a proud woman like Nola would not be able to stand other people’s comments.
Deborah thought Nola could not keep her job here for more than three months in such an environment.
As long as that person was not Nola, Deborah would not be so sad. She was convinced that she had lost to a woman who was better than she was, and she would never feel offended if Mr. Grayson fell in love with a much more outstanding woman.
No wonder Justus had told her that she would never have a chance. He must have known that Mr. Grayson had married secretly, but he couldn’t tell her. Now she just wanted to find an opportunity to meet Mr. Grayson’s wife and see how excellent that woman was.
At the morning meeting, Nola took the meeting minutes seriously, and the atmosphere was still the same as before.
A small case was brought up, “Even though it’s not a big case, since we’ve already accepted it, we should satisfy our client. How come you haven’t come up with a satisfactory plan for so long? Do you want me to do it for you? The other real estate project will start soon, and we’ll get busier. Before that, you must finish this case.”
“But each of us has a lot to do. This client bought an entire floor to build an open–air greenhouse. But she’s too picky. We’ve made many plans for her, and she’s still unhappy. Isn’t it obvious that she’s intentionally giving us a hard time?”
“Do you not know that the customer is always right? We will do our best to meet the needs of our customers. There’s no such thing as a bad client, only bad design. Who is in charge of that now, huh?”
The office was silent. If the client hadn’t brought the whole floor to build the garden, their company wouldn’t have accepted the design order in the first place.
However, since the customer had bought an entire floor, the company was in charge of the design. At first, they thought it wouldn’t be hard to design a greenhouse, but it turned out to be very difficult, and they didn’t expect that what seemed so simple would take so long.
Everyone knew this matter was difficult to handle, and no one was willing to take responsibility for it. At that time, the office fell silent, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing.
“Each of you is a designer, and you are usually confident in your professional abilities. Why does no one dare to stand out? How shameful of you! Did you come to the company to eat lunch?”
Deborah’s scolding did not encourage anyone. Just like that, this troublesome matter fell naturally on the shoulders of Nola,
the intern assistant.
Nola was stunned when she was suddenly called out.

“It was written in your resume that you had independent design experience when working in Apex Group, wasn’t it?”
“Yes.”
“How about this? The others have a lot of work to do. Since you have independent design experience, I’ll let you design this greenhouse. Consider it a chance to show everyone your ability. The results will be counted in the evaluation of your probation this time. I hope you won’t disappoint me.”
