The Perfect Wife's Perfect Revenge novel Chapter 747

At seven weeks pregnant, her belly was completely flat.

Her business attire gave her a style entirely different from Gwyneth's—one was youthful and bright, the other was sultry and provocative.

Patti Yale's entire presentation screamed anything but a respectable woman.

Since her arrival, the office gossip had intensified, particularly due to her frequent visits to Hawthorne's office, which were enough to make everyone stare.

"In the office, you will call me Mr. Everhart. The same goes for when we're in private," Hawthorne's voice was frigid.

"Unless it's a special occasion, you are not to use my first name."

That was a privilege reserved for his family.

Every time Patti said his name, she did it with a deliberately breathy voice that sounded intimate and full of desire, making anyone who overheard them assume they were involved.

While Hawthorne wanted to put on a show for James, he had no intention of making it too convincing for anyone else.

He knew Gwyneth had spent time at the company and had a good relationship with her colleagues.

He also knew they would surely gossip to her.

Patti instinctively flinched when she met Hawthorne's gaze.

The arrogant air she had walked in with instantly vanished.

Since joining the company, she had deliberately flaunted her position, making sure everyone in every department knew who she was.

She was even more overbearing than Yvette had been.

When Yvette was around, everyone knew that as long as they did their jobs well, she wouldn't bother them and would even grant rewards, promotions, and raises.

But with Patti Yale, everyone was on high alert, because she would attack anyone without discrimination.

If someone failed to complete a task she assigned on time, they would be immediately called into her office for a "talk."
