Chapter 61 The Headlines
I had no idea what was going on. So I went to work as usual. When I arrived, there were only a few
staffs in thepany as I got up much earlier this morning. However, those managers in charge of the
financial department who always greeted me with a warm morning smile before actually started to
gossip about me behind my back.
I frowned, confused. When I entered my office, Jackie hadn’t arrived yet.
I flipped to scan all documents on my desk and signed those needed. About an hourter, Jackie
entered. She paused a bit when seeing me. Then she greeted with a smile.
However, she looked a bit weird. After sorting out all the signed documents, she was about to leave.
While noticing that she seemed to feel like telling me something, I said, “Your expression tells me

something strange happened. What is it?”
She paused with surprise and answered awkwardly, “Miss Kennedy, are you really dating with Mr.
Collins?”
I was rendered so confused that I asked again, “Who?”
“Luis Collins!” she still looked curious while looking at me. Then she continued, “The gossip news about
you and him has been spread for a few days. What’s worse, someone released the photos that you
and Mr. Collins spent a whole night together in a hotel of City A. But Miss Kennedy, you haven’t
divorced Mr. George though you have just had a miscarriage, right? So why do you...”
I was so confused and asked, “What?”
Hearing that, she showed me her phone and then clicked on the local news column.
I started to read carefully. On the screen there shown a headline, the content of which started from my
meal with Luis in the downtown area while he was driving his fancy Maybach. And then the gossip was
followed by all kinds of posts of rumors. It had gone so worse that I was described as a slut.
Those posts really struck my head. No wonder those financial managers stared at me with such a
weird look.
So that was why Dennis changed the lock of the vi and put me on the cklist?
My head ached even more when it suddenly urred to me that it was Luis who picked up my call in
the hotel at that time.
I had never expected that all those troubles rushed to me altogether.
Then my phone was buzzing. Seeing that, Jackie left with those documents.
I took a look at the phone and noticed that it was a call from Luis. I got annoyed again and answered it,
“What’s the matter?”
“Have you read about the headliner?” he asked with a frivolous tone.
I said yes and replied with a bad mood, “I have!”
“I’ll hold a birthday banquet for my mom tomorrow evening. Would you like toe with me?” he
proposed casually as if the gossips had nothing to do with him.
I rubbed against my brows to alleviate my annoyance. Then I replied, “I’m not free for that. And you
should think about some ways to refute those rumors!”
As Leo showed up, I had no one to turn to except Dennis.
After a few seconds of silence, he answered, “I will set the water still.”
“Okay.” Then I added, exhausted, “Don’t bring me any troubles again.”
I had no idea how soon Leo woulde to the Newton Town again. If the rtionship between me and
Dennis ran into a copse because of the rumor, the hellish experience happening five years ago
woulde to me again. If so, I was afraid I might fail to go through it this time.
Nothing else isparable to my own life.
After hanging up the call, I put away my phone. I stood up after a while of silence. Then I headed to
Dennis’s office.
But his office appeared to be much less active thanst time. Now it was empty and even Toby had
disappeared from the specific room for secretary.
I could hear the sound of typing from the quiet office. I stood in front of the door and knocked on it.
“Come in!” his husky voice still sounded sex appeal.
I hesitated for seconds and then pushed the door open. My impassive heart couldn’t help beating
violently again as I approached him.
His office was spacious. So the sound of typing could be clearly caught in my ears.
I stood in front of his desk, silent. I just stared at him while he focused on his work attentively. There
was no doubt that now he looked really charming when he was dedicated to work.
“Put it down. I will sign itter.” He didn’t notice me perhaps it was because he was being too focused.
He didn’t even raise up his head. Instead, he still fixed his eyes on the screen.
I stood still and remained unspoken.
Not until quite a while did he stopped to look at me, frowning. When noticing that it was me, he looked
a bit colder, “What’s the matter?”
His voice sounded obviously chilling.
“Dennis, I need a talk with you.” I deemed it necessary to exin about the rumors between Luis and
me.
“Have you slept with him?” he frowned, looking horribly cold.
I failed to get what he meant at the beginning. But soon I realized. My face turned ghastly pale, “No!”
“Huh, ra, do you deem yourself convincing enough?” he let out a deep and cold smile while staring
at me, which seemed to freeze me.
“Dennis, I still have a chance to exin, right?” Nor did both Luis and I make a formal deration about
the rumors. So it was about to lose control at this moment.
But he didn’t seem to be patient enough to hear it. He rubbed against his brows and looked at me,
“Miss Kennedy, you aren’t highly paid for discussing your privacy with your boss during work hours.”
“Dennis…”
“You should know better than I do what you need to do now.” He asked while looking at me with his
voice mixed with obvious irritation.
Before I could continue, Toby entered unexpectedly and said to me with formality, “Miss Kennedy, Mr.
George still has a lot to deal with.”
Apparently, he was here to ask me to leave.
I looked at Dennis, who kept his dark eyes away from me with his eyelids sightly closed. He didn’t feel
like talking to me anymore.
But I simply ignored Jackie and asked again, “So Mr. George, when will you be avable for a talk with
me?”
He still remained silent with a cold face.
Seeing that, Toby said to me, “Miss Kennedy, please leave if you finish.”
I knew I could do nothing about the stalemate. So I left the office and happened to see Mario, who was
also waiting for the elevator.
He saw me walk out of Dennis’s office. He raised his brows with a bunch of stuffs held in his hand, “Are
you having a quarrel with him?”
I nodded, ‘Kind of…’
Dennis had been in a weird temper. I had never figured out what was in his mind though we had been
married for years.
“Here are the pills for you. Do remember to take them on time.” Mario handed me a bag to me. He
looked at the office and then at me, “I heard about the rumors of the headline. You just need a clear
exnation.”
He then returned to his office and so did I.
Finally, I finished the messy day for work. Then I went to the parking with my bag to wait for Dennis.
I walked over to his ck jeep and waited beside. Since I was involved, it was a must for me to exin
to him.
