Belinda was sipping her coffee when she nearly choked. "What did you say? Your girlfriend is our general manager, Ms. Gipson?"
Byran nodded, "Yep, that's right!"
Belinda was utterly shocked. To her, these two were like oil and water; how could they possibly be together?
"So you're saying... you're going to be my boss's husband?" Belinda muttered.
Byran said, "I'm going to marry her into the Howard family!"
Belinda took a sip of her coffee, "But man, you scored big time by snagging Ms. Gipson. She's notorious for being a workaholic, never giving any man the time of day."
Byran's eyes lit up, "Really? She doesn't pay attention to men?"
Belinda nodded, "Yep! Plenty of handsome partners have tried to woo Ms. Gipson. They showered her with gifts, but she turned a blind eye, either returning them or tossing them away. Many of us thought she wasn’t into men."
Byran was pleased to hear this. He had been a bit worried because he was wondering if she was this friendly with other men. Hearing what Belinda said made him suddenly feel relaxed.
Ida wasn't as open as she appeared.
Just then, the elevator dinged, and the doors slid open.
Quinton, flanked by two burly bodyguards, stepped out, headed straight for Byran, and grabbed him.
Byran jumped, "Who? What? Quinton, what are you doing here?"
Quinton responded, "Mr. Howard, your brother sent me to fetch you."
