Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 976

Everyone in the room was speculating about Elizabeth's relationship with Derek when they saw the bouquet of flowers on her table. As Elizabeth didn't like people gossiping about her, she threw the bouquet into the trash can beside her emotionlessly. She then looked at her colleagues and said coldly, "I have nothing to do with Derek. He was just joking when we were downstairs just now."

"Of course. Derek isn't even your type. There's no way you'd be interested in someone like him."

"That's right. It's impossible for Elizabeth and Derek to be together. Stop making fun of them," said another.

"But the man in black talking to Elizabeth downstairs was so tall and handsome. Elizabeth, could you give me his phone number? I think that he would have a better character than Derek," said one of her extroverted colleagues.

After that comment, many other female colleagues started bugging Elizabeth with questions about Frank.

"Does he have a girlfriend? What does he do?"

Elizabeth was speechless by their boldness. She was stunned for a moment and under the repeated questioning by her colleagues, she blurted out subconsciously, "Frank has a girlfriend."

The office suddenly became quiet.

The extroverted colleague looked disappointed and continued asking, "Are you Frank's girlfriend? I saw him pick you up after work recently."

Elizabeth regretted her words immediately. Why did she say that Frank had a girlfriend? Why was she annoyed when there were so many girls interested in him?

"I'll give you the details next time. I have something urgent to deal with now and I have to go. Bye," Elizabeth said hurriedly and escaped from the office. She ran downstairs nervously with her bag and began cursing under her breath. Her mood worsened.

When she got out of the building, she saw that Frank was nowhere to be found.

"What are you looking for?"

All of a sudden, she heard a familiar voice call out to her. She spun around and found Frank standing in front of her, holding a bunch of purple lilacs in his hand.

It turned out, Frank had gone to buy some flowers! But why? Were they for her? Elizabeth felt her heart race.

Although the bouquet was tied up simply with a blue ribbon, the flowers looked wonderful as they were full of vitality. The purple and blue flowers were also clustered beautifully together. Elizabeth was not expecting lilacs from Frank as the lilac season was about to end soon. She didn't expect him to find any, let alone buy her a bouquet.
