Lust Contracts 18+ Hunting for Love with My Three Contract Husbands

80 Scandalous Rumors

Meet his daughter. Well, I knew that I would have to meet her sooner or later, so it wasn’t at all surprising. That being said, it wasn’t like I was ready to meet her either. I just didn’t know how to react or what I should do if she hates me. What kind of face am I supposed to make? Suddenly, a bunch of worries started flooding into my head.

“Sure. I’m happy to join you two for dinner. Thank you for inviting me,” I replied while trying to sound happy and carefree about it.

“Don’t worry about Millie. I’m sure that she’ll like you,” Adrian said reassuringly as if he could read my mind.

“I really hope so...” I replied with a small smile.

After that, Adrian had so many meetings that he almost didn’t have time for a lunch break. True to his words, he was very busy that day. The meetings were long and very tedious. I sat for so long that my ass started to hurt along with my back. Since I didn’t sleep well last night, I started to feel drowsy and had to walk out a couple of times to freshen up in the toilet.

I sat on the toilet seat as I peed. Playing on my phone to kill the time while sitting alone in the toilet cubicle wasn’t that bad. Adrian was so busy that we haven’t had a lot of time to talk. I wondered what time he would get off work. Suddenly, I heard the sound of heels clicking against the floor and figured that a few women must have entered the toilet.

“She’ll be gone before you know it, just like all the others before her,” a woman said maliciously.

“She probably thinks that she’s so special and all. Look at how she’s always pressing herself up against his side all the time,” another one replied with equal disgust.

“He’ll get bored of her and toss her away soon enough,” another woman said.

.....

I rolled my eyes at their gossip talks. These women must be so free to be gossiping in the middle of a workday in the toilet like this. It seemed like jealously spread like wildfire here in this hospital among the female staff. I felt bad for whoever they were referring to.

“You’re right. I prefer our dear Doctor Adrian to stay single forever...” a woman said wistfully.

Wait! They’re talking about Adrian? Then, does that mean that the girl they’re referring to is me?! Now they had my attention, and I strained my ears to make sure that I heard their next words.

“Did you hear about that young nurse that he was with before?” a woman asked.

“Which one? There’s so many of them...” another replied.

“That one. You know, the one with round blue eyes and wavy blond hair. The one who likes to act like a baby all the time,” the woman replied in a mocking tone.

“Oh...what about her? She quit already, didn’t she?” another asked with clear interest.

“That’s right. She quit already. Everyone says that he got her pregnant and then he forced her to abort it. Then his family paid her off and sent her somewhere far far away,” the woman whispered so loudly that even I could hear from where I was sitting.

“That’s nothing new though. He’s famous for sleeping around with all the young and pretty nurses. None of them ever last long...” another woman replied.

“Every one of them are gold diggers, trust me. They want to marry him for his family’s fortune. I mean, just think about it, you probably don’t need to work anymore if you marry him. You’ll be set for life,” another said with conviction.

Clearly these women loved to gossip. By that time, I had already heard more than enough already. Since these women were so eager to talk about me behind my back, I decided to make an appearance. After putting my phone back into my handbag and adjusting my hair a little, I opened the door of my cubical and gracefully walked out. My heels clicked against the floor as I approached the sink area where the women now stood with their eyes and mouth wide open in shock at my sudden appearance. One look at their reaction and I knew that they were talking about me and that they also knew who I am.

This moment is a grade A example of why one should dress up beautifully at all times. Imagined how much of a fool I would look like, if after all that they had just said about me, I stepped out of the toilet looking like an underdressed mess. Silently, I thanked my biological mother for the good looks that I had apparently inherited from her.

“Excuse me, I believe you’re in the way...” I said politely before smiling elegantly at the shocked faces of the women before I gestured with my eyes towards the sink.

Like the tides parting in the sea for Moses to walk through the ocean, the women quickly stepped aside to grant me access to the sink. Slowly, I turned on the tap and started washing my hands. After recovering from their shock, the women were evidently flustered. Without knowing what else to do or say, they nodded a little my way before making their escape out of the bathroom.

If Adrian and I really were in a relationship, those three female monkeys will be the first ones that I fire after I marry the owner of this hospital. I shook my hands a little before reaching for a paper towel to dry my hands. After reapplying some lipstick to my lips and checking that my make up adequately covered the slightly dark circles under my eyes, I left the bathroom to rejoin Adrian in his meeting.

This meeting was slightly more interesting than the others because it concerned discussions on plans for future business growth. Apart from the standard moves of increasing the number of hospital branches and ranges of services that the hospital should provide, there were talks of more international expansion and getting into adjacent business opportunities. I found the business proposal presented on those parts extremely interesting and insightful.
