Chapter 369

“You can stop talking nonsense. How could Mr. Humphrey possibly be with that unlucky god?"

“Yes, can’t we see how Mr. Humphrey treats that unlucky god?”

“That’s right. Mr. Humphrey doesn’t even have time for Kimberly; how could he possibly spend time with her? It's all just talk without putting it into practice.”

“If you don’t believe it, that’s fine,” Melany said proudly. “Anyway, no one can say for sure who will be the president’s wife in our company in the future. You figure it out yourselves; just don’t end up flattering the wrong person. That would be embarrassing.”

Melany spoke so confidently that people in the office immediately began to doubt.

Someone asked me, “Did Mr. Humphrey really spend last night with you?”

I wanted to say no, but Melany kept winking at me.

I touched my nose in embarrassment and said, “Mr. Humphrey and I were both at that restaurant at the time, and then…”

The conversation wasn’t finished when Reynaldo suddenly appeared behind everyone.

I choked for a moment and quickly closed my mouth.

The crowd hadn’t yet noticed Reynaldo’s arrival, and one by one they asked me, “So, what were you doing with Mr. Humphrey in the restaurant? Having a candlelit dinner?”

“Is it true? Are you not kidding me? Did Mr. Humphrey really spend the night with you last night?”

“Reynaldo!” Kimberly suddenly shouted from behind the crowd.

In an instant, everyone quickly darted back to their seats.

Kimberly approached Reynaldo and said with a look of grievance, “Reynaldo, Ms. Duffy is boasting to everyone that you were with her last night. Is that true?”

Reynaldo didn’t answer the question, he just looked at me coldly, with a mocking expression in his eyes.

Actually, he didn’t need to answer. The sarcastic look in his eyes told everyone the answer directly.

As soon as he entered the president’s office, there was a burst of laughter in the office.

“I said, how could Mr. Humphrey possibly be with this woman last night?"

“Disgusting, boasting without even thinking.”

At this moment, Kimberly also had a smug look on her face.

I sighed quietly and hung my head while working.

Melany rushed to me and said, “Why aren’t you arguing back?”

“How can I refute? Last night, Mr. Humphrey really wasn’t with me.”

“But didn’t you say Mr. Humphrey was discussing business with someone in the restaurant? Since you know, then it must have…”

“I just happened to see him.”

“Oh? Why didn’t you make it clear to me from the beginning? You’re exaggerating.”

I laughed and said, “Do you want me to explain?”

Melany awkwardly touched her nose and said, “It seems not all stories can be believed, but…”

After a pause, she said earnestly, “I still believe in you. I think you still have a good chance to win back Mr. Humphrey.”

I chuckled.

Let’s just dream; where everything is in the dream.

The mocking in the office towards me lasted for quite a while before it finally stopped.

I got used to it, so it wasn’t a big deal.

This morning, just after I had been working for an hour, Leticia knocked on my desk.

I raised my head in surprise and asked, “What’s the matter?”

“Mr. Humphrey called for you,” Leticia said before walking away, a smug smile playing on her lips.

I furrowed my brows, and suddenly there was a bad premonition in my heart.

Melany turned to me and smiled mischievously, saying, “Mr. Humphrey didn’t call anyone else, just you. I think you have a chance; go in quickly.”

I chuckled and shook my head. She was so full of it, thinking that I was actually competing with Kimberly for Reynaldo.
