Chapter 415
The look on Nichs'' face immediately changed and he gazed at me with his dark, fiery eyes.
“So the rumors are true. You did sleep with a manst night! Who is it? Is it Michael?”
Nichs stood up and ced his hands on my desk. Looming over me, I could see that his eyes were
filled with anger and rage.
Upon mentioning Michael''s name, I panicked but managed to keep it under control.
I then feigned anger and asked him coldly, “What do you mean by that? Why must it be Michael? Am I
really that untrustworthy in your eyes?”
Perhaps it was my first time being angry at him, his eyes shed with a glint of regret.
However, his regret dissipated almost immediately, though the suspicion in his eyes remained.
“Are you saying that you were not with Michaelst night? Then who was it?”
N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.
Nichs furrowed his brows and looked at me questioningly.
“This is my private matter. Are you saying that I need to report to you? Even if I were to get myself a
gigolo, is that something that I must run by you first?”
I stared at Nichs, my gaze cial. I hated it when he tried to control my private life. We were not in a
rtionship, after all, and it was preposterous for him to try and do so.
Seeing that I was angry, Nichs'' face fell. However, his eyes that were gazing at me were still burning
in anger.
Taking a deep breath, he tried to tamp down his raging fury. However, he still failed to contain it and he
yelled at me boisterously, “Did you really look for a gigolo in a club? Anna, since when do you casually
sleep around with men? If you need a man, I''m here for you and I can satisfy your needs. But you
chose to look for a gigolo instead! If someone finds out about this, your reputation will be tarnished!”
I waspletely stunned and was unable to process what was going on. We had known each other for
one year, but it was the first time that he spoke to me like this, and on this kind of topic.
More than that, however, I was baffled by his statement. Putting aside that I did not do as I said, I would
never consider having sex with Nichs even if I was horny.
Nheless, I kept such ament to myself. I knew that if I say them out loud, Nichs might rte
it to Michael once again.
Lowering my head, I said softly, “Last night was an ident. It won''t happen again.”
I wanted to end the conversation as soon as possible.
Nichs looked at me in the eyes and uttered in a deep voice, “Fine, let''s move on from this then. I
hope you don''t do such a thing ever again. Any man that likes you will not be able to ept this.”
“Okay, I got it,” I replied tly.
Inside, I heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he''s not suspicious of anything.
“Okay, you should get back to work. We''ll need to speak with Red Star about the coborationter.
You know Michael very well and I think you are the perfect candidate to attend the meeting. It will
significantly increase our chance of sess.”
Nichs changed the topic and spoke to me calmly.
“Okay. I''ll go get ready and head out in the afternoon.”
I started preparing the documents for the meeting. Red Star was the first target that ourpany
wanted to take over from Michael.
As I started working, Nichs was prepared to leave, but he came to a halt at the exit.
“If you need somebody to apany you next time, feel free to give me a call. I hate the thought that
some random guy gets to sleep with you.”
Before I could react, Nichs was already out of my office.
I stared at the door that had been mmed shut, speechless. In Nichs'' mind, I must have be a
lustful and horny woman, huh?
However, what he thought was none of my concern. After all, I was the one who knew what the truth
was.
At the end of the day, Michael was to be med for the gossip. If it wasn''t for him, I wouldn''t have had
such a problematic day.
I thought my exnation to Nichs would stay between the two of us. But by afternoon, almost
everyone knew about it. It appeared that somebody was eavesdropping when the conversation took
ce.
In the blink of an eye, my image in thepany quickly went downhill. Everyone thought that I was a
loose woman who was lustful and horny, and their stares changed drastically, in a bad way.
In the pantry, I wanted to make myself a cup of coffee when I overheard a conversation about me
again.
“Do you think that it''s real? That Ms. Garcia really slept with a gigolo from the club?”
“Of course it''s real. I heard it with my own ears this morning. It can''t be fake.”
“But Ms. Garcia doesn''t look like a promiscuous woman. She has her own principles and doesn''t seem
like a person who would do something like that.”
One of them refused to believe that the rumor was true.
“Haven''t you heard the phrase ''never judge a book by its cover?'' Someone may look innocent but in
truth, she is but a lustful wh*re! Nothing is impossible.”
One of the female employees muttered in a scornful tone, “That''s right. She may be a brilliant career
woman in the day, but at night, she may be f*cking a guy like a wh*re. Who knows, maybe it''s because
the general manager is too busy to satisfy her needs.”
Initially, I wanted to ignore them but the statement was too abhorrent for me to tolerate.
Cough! Cough!
Clearing my throat, I showed myself from behind the door. At the same time, I cast them an icy-cold
gaze.
Upon my arrival, their eyes widened in shock and they looked down awkwardly.
“Ms. Garcia.”
They greeted me politely as if nothing happened. If I was not aware of the conversation just now, I
might even think they were being respectful toward me.
I stood before them and started sizing them up. Under my scrutinizing gaze, they started to feel
ufortable.
“You should focus on your work when you''re in the office. Did thepany hire you to gossip about
your boss? Have you finished all of your pending work?” I asked coldly.
I rarely interfered with menial matters as such in thepany. However, gossiping about one''s superior
was no longer something insignificant. If they were to channel their focus on gossip, then their work
would surely suffer.
