Chapter 456 Congratulations!
Colton saw the employee who helped out with the marriage certificate and thanked them before they left, “Thank you all for today.”
Seeing that he was being so courteous, the employees were honored and answered, “You’re welcome. It’s part of our job.”
Nodding, Colton requested, “I hope you can keep today a secret.”
“Please be assured, President Gardner. We will not let word get out,” the employee promised and left.
Since the marriage was registered, Colton asked Queenie to move out of the Gardner Residence. Taken aback, she asked in bafflement, “Why?”
He explained, “You’re pregnant, and Grandpa just recovered. It’s not convenient for you to stay here. I’ve just bought a villa somewhere else, and there’s dedicated care by professionals. It’s perfect for you to move in.”
After pondering for a while, she could understand why. Since she was now his wife, it was a little awkward to stay in the Gardner Residence. Without thinking much, she nodded in agreement.
The next morning, Colton arrived at Gardner Corporation to see his employees all looking at him with weird looks. They all stole glances at him secretly, while some were even doing it openly.
He went up to his office to see Tony approaching him with a big smile. Tony was smiling widely as he handed Colton the document in his hands.
“Here’s the latest contract, President Gardner. You may take a look and sign it if there are no problems.”
Colton quickly glanced through and signed it.
Just as he was going to sit, Tony chirped, “President Gardner, it’s not nice of you not to notify me of your marriage. At least, I’d be able to prepare a gift.”
Colton squinted his eyes as an irritated look flashed across his face. “Who told you I got married?”
Tony could not stop himself and chuckled softly.
“The marriage certificate is posted online with your name and Miss Queenie’s name on it, President Gardner. You didn’t tell us and secretly got married.”
Queenie. Ugh! It’s her again. I have to keep my eyes peeled on her.
Colton did not explain himself. “If you’re that free with work. I can let you work on the matters in Espad. You should also make a business trip there.”
His words made Tony’s expression fall. Tony put his arms on his chest and shook his head. “Oh no. No. I’m not free at all. Besides, a plague just broke out there. I don’t have a death wish.”
Colton gave him a look and smiled. “Since you know you’re busy, what are you doing standing there? Don’t you need to get back to work? Or is the salary we’re giving too much?”
F*ck. He’s such a petty man! I was just gossiping for a bit, and he had to make a big deal out of it. Tony cursed in his heart but still stepped out of Colton’s office politely.
After he left, Colton picked up his phone and started scrolling. Sure enough, Queenie had posted a picture of their marriage certificate online.
No wonder the employee’s faces all looked so strange this morning when he came up.
Nicole pushed open the door and walked in just as he placed the phone down. She had compiled the documents related to the previous collaboration with Aimee International for him to take a look at.
Colton took the files and suddenly stopped Nicole, who was about to leave. “You don’t have anything you want to say to me?”
Nicole paused in her tracks as she recalled the news she saw this morning. Turning her head, she smiled and congratulated him, “Congratulations, President Gardner. I wish you a happy and long marriage!”
His face dropped after hearing her words. Then, he stood up and walked toward her.
