Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 1024

After being scolded by Vivian, the employees were too embarrassed to raise their heads and look at her.

"If you understand now, get back to work then," Vivian ordered. With the document in her hand, she turned around to leave. But before she could take a step, a female employee voiced her dissatisfaction.

"We've just finished our work and were just getting a glass of water. We heard that something might've happened to our boss. As employees of the Larson Group, we're worried about him and the company. Are we not allowed to talk about it and express our concern?"

As someone had taken the initiative to speak out their apprehension, everyone else straightened up and began arguing with Vivian.

"Yeah! We were just chatting. Why are you making a mountain out of a molehill?" a male employee argued.

"Did we do something wrong? Is it already a sin to speak?" another female employee retorted, "Don't think you can take over just because Mr. Larson isn't here!"

The female employee must have been shocked by Vivian's stern words that her eyes were red and brimming with tears.

"What... Are you kidding me?!" Vivian restrained herself from further reprimanding them. She closed her eyes and breathed out. Once she calmed down, she looked at everyone and seriously said, "I just hope all of you follow the rules of Larson Group."

The employees spoke at the same time, expressing their discontent. Vivian had had enough of it. But since she was outnumbered, she could only give in. "You can do whatever you want; just make sure you finish your work."

Just when the employees thought they had won, Sean entered and joined the conversation. "Mr. Larson may not be in the company, but you can't just talk about him like that, much less spread baseless rumors. Have you forgotten that Vivian is your superior? You should all listen to her."

"Sean, we just don't want to be misunderstood," an employee replied.

Everyone knew that Sean was chill and easygoing. Seeing him so serious right now made everyone realize the gravity of the matter.

"Why don't you do your job during work hours and gossip when you get off work? For your information, Mr. Larson is just on a business trip. And yet, you're all speculating that he's hospitalized because of a car wreck. Stop spreading rumors, okay?" Sean snapped loudly.

Now that their question had finally been answered, everyone finally stopped speculating.

"We're relieved to know that Mr. Larson is fine. We were just worried about him as we saw on the news that the company's helicopter appeared at the scene, so we thought..." The employee who just spoke trailed mid-sentence and then continued, "Anyway, now that you've refuted the rumor, we can finally be at ease."

Seeing that the atmosphere had eased a little, Sean checked the time on his watch and dismissed everyone. "All of you, get back to work now. Mr. Larson left the country yesterday via helicopter. To set things straight, the accident on the highway has nothing to do with Larson Group. If anyone spreads groundless rumors again, they will be fired immediately."
