Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 101

"I didn't sleep with him." I hastily waved my hands. " That day, I had to get up early to catch my flight, so I was really tired. After I got to the hotel, I rested for a while. Xander was in the living room reading the script the entire time. Nothing happened. Did you call because..."

"Enough. Do you think that I'll believe you?" He interrupted me and looked at me coldly before burying his head back into his work. He continued what he was doing.

"Theo, even murderers have a chance to plead their case. You should at least listen to what I have to say." I propped my hands on the desk and was not about to give up my chance to explain myself.

He looked up and raised his eyebrows at me. The cold look on his face only grew colder. "It's office hours. You shouldn’t discuss personal matters with me right now, President Lane. The spokesperson is fully your responsibility. This situation will definitely have an impact on the company, so you’d better find a way to solve it. Otherwise..."

After that, he did not continue anymore, but I knew that it was something bad.

"Theo..." I still did not want to give up.

"Wanda! Are you deaf or are you deliberately defying m e?" He raised his voice that was tinged with anger. " You've been an employee here long enough to understand the principles. Don’t you know that it’s inappropriate to come to your boss’ office to talk about personal matters during office hours? Get out of my office right now."

I stood there without moving, shamelessly pretending not to hear what he said.

He glared at me and spoke loudly, "Keith!"

Soon, Keith came in and looked at me as he said politely, "President Lane, President Grant has a meeting soon. Could you please come back another time?"

Keith spoke so politely and formally that I could not find a reason to refute.

I initially wanted to pretend not to hear him, but Keith was standing in front of me with his hands out, signaling me to leave while staring straight at me.

I had no choice but to leave resentfully. Before I left, I said to Theo, "President Grant, I'll be waiting for you outside your door. I hope that you can spare some of your precious time to talk to me after you're done."

The chill Theo's body exuded intensified and he ignored me.

I left Theo's office and sat outside in the break room. I refused to leave.

Keith could not do anything about it and turned around to go about his work.

Although the trending news on Google was very important, Xander said that he would handle it, so the only thing I could do was wait. There were only two things one could do about entertainment news like that. One was to wait for a bigger and hotter story to come out, and the other was to wait until it slowly died down and was forgotten.
