Heart Hunting novel Chapter 141

At the lobby of the DK building.

Mrs. Murphy came to the company with bird’s nest soup happily. When she entered the building, the receptionist spotted it was Mr. Murphy’s mother so she quickly came over to her and greeted her, “Good morning, Mrs. Murphy!”

“I bring some bird’s nest soup for Poppy, my daughter-in-law-to-be. She came to the company this morning, right?”

Last night she overheard that they were coming to the company today so she prepared the soup secretly and brought here deliberately so as to tell everyone that Poppy as the wife of Mr. Kenny Murphy had been well accepted by Mrs. Murphy, Kenny’s mother.

The receptionists looked at each other understanding what Mrs. Murphy meant. One of them replied immediately, “Yes. Mr. Murphy is having a meeting and Ms Poppy Green is inspecting the departments.”

“Good. Poppy is excellent.” Mrs. Murphy talked proudly, revealing her fondness of Poppy

When Mrs. Murphy went upstairs, gossip erupted among them, “She is quite something. She even buys off Mrs. Murphy.”

“Be careful of your words. Just now, some employees from the public relations department have been punished on the spot when talking behind her.”

“Oh my god!” the receptionist immediately covered her mouth with her hands.

“As an attractive elite, she’s the apple of Mr. President’s eye with Mrs. Murphy’s recognition. She’s entitled to be arrogant.”

“All right. I’m done with this topic. I’d better get on my work.Otherwise, I’m the next one to be punished.” the other employees stopped gossiping. Gossip traveled fast. In just half an hour, everyone in the company all knew that Mrs Murphy had came to the company only to bring soup for Poppy Green who was gonna be her daughter-in-law.

Mrs. Murphy had been in the office for a while before Poppy came back. She was surprised to see Mrs. Murphy in her office, “Oh, hi, Mrs. Murphy. I didn’t expect you to be here.”

“You two came here without me,” said Mrs. Murphy.

Simon was also there, so Poppy smiled awkwardly and turned to him, “Simon, thank you for showing me around. You can go on with your work now.”

“Yes, Ma’am.”

When Simon went out, Mrs. Murphy took Poppy to sit on the sofa and brought her the soup, “Poppy, have some soup. I made it for you and Kenny.”

“Mrs. Murphy, we can have the soup when we are back home. You don’t need to travel a long distance to bring it here.” Poppy was moved. What should she do to deserve the love of Mrs. Murphy who treated her like her own mother.

“Whoa! It’s your first day in the company. I wanna give you my support.”

Poppy felt stunned hearing this. She was so touched, “Thank you, Mrs. Murphy.”

“Enjoy the soup!”

Poppy ate the soup silently because she was so moved that she couldn’t express through words.

Kenny had been away for half a month so he was back facing with piles of documents on his table and a full agenda of meetings. Poppy was in a good mood so she suggested, “Mrs. Murphy, shall we go shopping? I have something to buy.”

Mrs. Murphy agreed, “Sure! Let’s go. We’ll leave Kenny with his work.”

They left the DK building and got into the car. Mrs. Murphy asked, “Poppy, what do you need to buy?”

Poppy smiled profoundly, “Let’s go to the Wellness Pharmacy. I wanna buy some pills of ANP for someone in case they need it before they are pissed off to death.”

Mrs. Murphy was confused at her irony, “Who are they? Those from the Greens?” As far as she knew, Hilda Sanches was Poppy’s top enemy.

“Yep.” Poppy answered firmly with a serious look.

Mrs. Murphy still felt lost and then she thought of what happened to them abroad, “Poppy, what happened when you were abroad with Kenny?”

Poppy didn’t want to tell her the details so she just cut it short, “It was a long story, Mrs. Murphy. But Kenny was injured because of them.”

Mrs. Murphy didn’t reply at first but on a second thought, she understood what happened and felt raged that Hilda Sanches dared to set up her son and daughter-in-law-to-be, “Poppy, you are free to do whatever you want. I will always back you up. Don’t give them a break. Just let me know if you need anything.” Although she was not sure of what happened but she could tell that it was something terrible based on Kenny’s injury.

Poppy was amused at Mrs. Murphy who was adorable when behaving so seriously, “Please rest assured, i will not let off any of those evils. You can take part in it if time permits.” Of course Poppy had to hide it from Kenny.

Mrs. Murphy was passionate about it and nodded firmly, “Sure! Sure!”

They were at the Wellness Pharmacy. Poppy bought the ANP and Mrs. Murphy bought some bird’s nest and ginseng for Poppy and Kenny.
