Meanwhile, the air in the Chief Editor's office was exceedingly tensed.
Ashley was standing in front of Fabian’s desk with her pupils enlarged in fury as she shrieked, "Fabian, why didn’t you tell me that Vivian is your uncle’s newly married wife?”
It was very much to Fabian’s surprise that Ashley had found out about Vivian's identity. He was befuddled for a while but when he looked at the egotistical way Ashley behaved, an impatient gleam flashed across his eyes and he replied, "I didn't keep you in the dark on purpose.
