Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 361

When Ethan had told Laney about Garrett's words, it made her feel wholly uneasy and unsettled. Instead of feeling comforted, she was even more worried and restless than before.

On the next day, and as a consequence of their chat, she looked utterly listless when she went to work.

The instant Janet laid eyes on her, she sensed that something was amiss.

"Are you still thinking about what happened between Garrett and his girlfriend yesterday?" Janet asked tentatively, touching her arm gently.

Laney didn't feel like there was any need to hide anything. "I feel so overcome by guilt. I was the reason for their breakup."

For her entire employment as a bodyguard, she had never become entangled in any of her employers' private affairs, let alone accused of being a slut.

But Ethan was her boss, and she had no option but to follow his instructions.

Janet didn't want to see her take all the blame for what had transpired between the couple. She peered around before she whispered in Laney's ear, "To be honest, I think Mr. Harding is partly to blame. There was nothing between you two, and we all know that. But he has a reputation of being a player, so even if it wasn't you, he would have been having a meal with another woman yesterday, and the same thing would have happened to that woman."

When Laney heard this rationale, she nodded. Even if she tried not to think about it now, she would inadvertently do so when she met Garrett later.

After this incident, her impression of Garrett had become slightly marred. 'He is definitely a playboy. He dumped that woman so readily, which must mean he hasn't taken their relationship seriously. No wonder he changes girlfriends so fast, like how some people change clothes,' she thought to herself.

After saying goodbye to Janet, she made her way to Garrett's office to work. In order not to look suspicious, she had begun to learn about her job as a secretary. She thought that at least she should look the part of a secretary.

As soon as he entered the office, he saw Laney sorting through the documents and arranging his meeting schedules.
