Chapter 121 He Was Not A Good Man
Vice Mr. Hughes didn’t know many women personally, but there were countless women who knew him.
He was known for his notorious reputation after all, having overshadowed many celebrities and stars in
the city.
Therefore, in the face of these women, Vice Mr. Hughes was quite calm to ept the fact as it was. He
was afraid that he would fall into a situation where another woman would secretly fall in love with him,
and he wouldn’t be able to leave it easily.
Unexpectedly for him, Macy knew Gabby. If it came down to it, would she rival against Gabby for his
love?
Macy wasn’t surprised by Lawrence’s response. After all, she was just an intern in the Hughes Group
branch she worked at, so it was expected that he wasn’t familiar with her person. But as she knew him,
she knew it was protocol to acknowledge him by showing him respect when he came in, as was
customary. She quickly stood up, stepped out from behind her chair and bowed low to Lawrence.
“Good afternoon, Vice Mr. Hughes.”
He nced at Macy with a flicker of panic as he epted the serious and professional greeting
He wondered whether she was trying to attract his attention in some special way. Then she was a
cunning and shrewd woman.
Vice Mr. Hughes, I am an intern in the advertising department at the Hughes Group in the high-tech
zone. I joined thepanyst month. My name is Macy. Do you remember … I was … I was
ckmailed on my third day here, but you helped me. Do you have any memory of this? Even if you
don’t, I would like to bestow my appreciation to you! Thank you for that, Vice Mr. Hughes.” Noticing the
seriousness of her words, Lawrence realized she was being genuine and did not, in fact, seem to have
any intentions of seducing him. He felt a pang of disappointment was he that unattractive?
‘Damn it! Doesn’t she like my style? She’s just like Gabrielle.”
Both the friends, this intern and Gabrielle seemed to share the same sentiment towards him. They
were very simr: theirnguage. facial expressions, tone and manner of speaking there was no trace
of admiration towards him at all.
Lawrence had always been a “yboy”.
popr for his ways around women. He received many confessions of love and admiration from both
men and women towards him and he was very used to it. However, now, he felt uncharacteristically
frustrated and for the second time he doubted his own charm and appeal.
“Oh, it’s been quite some time since that incidentst month. I’m afraid I have forgotten what
happened. Besides, you will always receive help from me here at Hughes Group as an employee, and
it is my job as your boss. You don’t have to be overly thankful.” The smile on Lawrence’s face faltered
as he seriously delivered his response.
He reminded himself to be professional; not only was this woman a friend of Gabrielle’s, but she was
also an intern at Hughes Group. and his own words reminded him that he was her superior
He had to be careful or his reputation would not be spared.
“Vice Mr. Hughes, you are really a good man,
Macy praised Lawrence.
Lawrence couldn’t help but blush at thepliments.
Gabrielle always looked down on him and berated him: could it be that Macy hadn’t yet
heard the rumor about Lawrence because of herck of experience and familiarity among these
people?
Lawrence was a good man?
Men all over the world were good people, but Lawrence was not.
Men who chased girls and yed women everywhere were not good people, and this kind of game
between men and women that Lawrence loved ying, was a cheap game, equivalent to the dating
version of fast-food.
There was no harm in being with people you liked, or being separated from people you didn’t. However,
Lawrence was on another level. He even paid money to women for theirpany, but that always
ended up with a final, eventual good-bye!
“Thank you, I appreciate it.” It was rare for Lawrence to be so embarrassed.
It was easy for women to me him for his actions, especially if they had been together only for a short
time. Even the women who had received payment from him would take the cash and then ironically yell
at him at the end of it.
The speed with which he “hunted” these women was what made them hate him. He had barely broken
up with some of them
before he began to look for the next one, so it WAS natural that this reputation brought about these
sentiments among them
“Vice Mr. Hughes, you are quite modern and contemporary. I was sutprised to hear you are a friend of
Gabrielle’a. We were ssmates in college.” Macy said to him. She sounded warm, now.
Gabrielle had known Macy had no idea about Lawrence and the incidents surrounding him.
How could Macy have known? She was not involved in the upper ss echelons of society that the rest
of them frequented around. Even Gabrielle’s knowledge of Lawrence wis because of what Austin had
told her, based on his own experiences with him. Lawrence was known among all the upper-ss
people for his promiscuous nature. Everyone knew he had slept with many females, including
anchorwomen, Inte celebrities, socialites, small-time and big-time stars, models and basically, any
attractive woman he set his eyes on and was willing to y these games with him.
When he had a crush on a Woman, he wouldn’t let her go too easily. That was why Austin had advised
Gabrielle to stay away from the likes of Lawrence.
At first, Gabrielle thought that Lawrence was just interested in her for a short time and
eventually, he would stop pestering her.
However, Lawrence’s persistence surprised her. He just wauldn’t give up.
They hadn’t seen each other in more than a month, but he was still taken up by her. Gabrielle was
mindful when going out by checking her calendar to make sure she wouldn’t bump into him anywhere.
She wanted to directly tell Lawrence that she was married to Westley, the most evil man in town.
Lawrence would not believe it, though, even if she produced her marriage certificate to him.
So she let it be. It wasn’t his business after all, more so if he didn’t believe it.

“Since you are ssmates, Macy, do you know what happened to Gabby at the school? You can tell
me.” Lawrence took the opportunity to feed his curiosity.
This was his best bet to find out what happened to Gabrielle, through Gabrielle’s ssmate Macy,
especially when his own methods of sending people and investigators
to dig up information had failed.
“Yes, of course…”
“Macy, ignore him. Order the dishes first,” Gabrielle quickly interrupted Macy before she
could say anything.
Nacy wasn’t aware of what kind of man Lawrence was, so she would naively tell him all about
Gabrielle. She deemed him as a hero, someone who had helped her. Gabrielle had to find an
opportunity to convey what kind of person Lawrence was to Macy.
She became worried and anxious. Macy was young, an innocent woman who had just finished her
college studies to enter society and make her mark as a professional. She had not yet been betrayed
or let down by the vile actions of others around her. It was obvious she would worship Lawrence as this
aplished, helpful man.
She felt a chill when she thought of the harm this could potentially cause, and felt an instinct to help her
friend.
She must have a chance tomunicate with Macy. She couldn’t let her go astray like this.
“Let Vice Mr. Hughes do it. He is the boss, after all, and it’s only respectful that he orders the dishes,”
Macy said. She didn’t mean to tter him. She just respected him
as a boss.
Lawrence felt like he was being treated like an old man for the first time in his life. Respect? Only a
man in his seventies
deserved this traditional “respect”.
“Don‘t worry about me. We are all friends of Gabby today. We are on equal footing. It’s my treat. You
two can order whatever you like.” Lawrence carelessly waved his hand, boasting hisvish background
and superfluous attitude. +
