The Billionaire Twins Need A New Mommy! novel Chapter 108

Chapter 108: The Madam of Summit Partners [?]

Lola took a single step inside and stopped, completely frozen in place. Her eyes scanned the crowd, all of whom were staring back at her.

"What did I do?" she asked herself, her mind racing. "Was it the mask?"

She instinctively reached for her head, only to realize she’d already taken it off. She hadn’t had the heart to wear it inside, not wanting to cause trouble or get kicked out. But if it wasn’t the mask, why was everyone staring at her as if they were frozen in a mannequin challenge?

She cleared her throat and cautiously looked at everyone again. "Maybe... it’s not me."

A security guard’s voice broke the silence. "Miss, do you have business here? The reception is just over there."

Lola smiled and nodded. "Yes. Thank you, but there’s no need. I’ll just wait inside since I’m only picking up someone."

"Okay," the security guard nodded with a polite smile.

With that, she glanced at the people even on the upper floors before she resumed her steps. She gave the security guard a short smile before heading to the waiting lounge. As she walked, she couldn’t help but notice every single person’s gaze following her. A frown pulled at her lips, but she tried to ignore it.

"Is she the madam?" one employee whispered to a colleague. "She’s..."

"Gorgeous," a male employee blurted out, his mouth agape, eyes fixed on Lola. "Even if she’s not the madam—wow."

"Is she a celebrity?"

"What would a celebrity do in here?" another one muttered. "The company doesn’t need one for endorsement yet."

"Who knows? If I were part of the executive circle, I would hire her just because."

"She’s not even wearing makeup or dressed up luxuriously," another woman murmured, more in awe than jealousy. She blushed when Lola’s gaze suddenly met hers from below. "Do you think she likes girls?"

Meanwhile, Lola offered an awkward smile to the people who were obviously staring. She secretly winced, looking away and trying not to overthink the stares and whispers.

Is it the outfit? Are they talking bad about me?

She gazed down at herself, thinking that was probably the reason she was earning this attention. She glanced at everyone again, letting out a shallow breath.

Well... even though this is Summit Partners, I guess judgment is everywhere.

She had no idea what they were all talking about, and she didn’t want to know. After all, many people she had met had no qualms about judging and throwing mean comments in other people’s direction. So, this was not a new experience for her.

Lola was here for a reason, and there was no room for her to care about anyone else.

As that clarity settled in her mind and heart, she finally typed her message to Atlas.

[To: Unknown:

I’m already here, by the way.]

Her phone chimed with a reply so fast she could have sworn it didn’t take a blink.

[From: Unknown:

I know.]

[From: Unknown:

Your mouth. It’s open. Take care on your way.]
