"That’s not how it was!" She was utterly speechless, practically exploding, "It wasn’t that intimate! A little bug landed on my head, and he just helped me catch it! What kind of picture is this? It’s a matter of angle! Malicious slander!" Of course, the butler believed her, but how will countless netizens believe? "Ma’am, the news has already been suppressed." She gasped, her eyes widening, "Then Justin... did he see it too?" As soon as she finished speaking, she felt utterly foolish asking! The news was certainly suppressed by Justin! How could he not have seen it? It’s over! Given his subtle relationship with Anton Ford, he’s definitely angry. Mia Lane dejectedly went upstairs... "Ma’am..." The butler didn’t know what to do either. Mia Lane sighed, sitting cross-legged in the armchair by the window of the master bedroom, her mind blanking out for a few seconds. Was he angry that he left? Or was it because of something at the company? She picked up her phone and found his number, hesitating... What should she say after dialing? Would he believe her explanation? She hadn’t had dinner yet, originally feeling a bit hungry, but now she was filled with gloom, staring blankly out the window at the night, waiting for that car to return. In the departing Lamborghini. Justin Kingston’s thick, handsome brows furrowed slightly, his lightly pressing thin lips sexy in their pale hue, eyes deep like an ancient galaxy, clearly in a bad mood. "Mr. Kingston," the driver asked softly, "wasn’t today’s work finished? Why go to the company?" Justin didn’t answer him. The driver had no choice but to drive back to the company, stopping below the main building of the group. The car door opened, Justin got out, hands in pockets, entered the lobby, took the elevator up to the CEO office. By this time Finn Morgan had already left work. The office was brightly lit, a few hundred square meters of modern style, spacious and luxurious, simply and stylishly decorated. Justin sat at the desk for a while, opened a drawer, took out a syringe and nutritional fluid, calmly giving himself an IV injection. Monica Usher, passing by the door, stopped her tracks, hadn’t he gone back earlier? Seeing Justin injecting the blue fluid into his body, Monica felt a pang of heartache. Hadn’t Ian Shelby said he could eat now? Monica turned and left, not knowing why Justin was still there, but she felt quite happy inside. In the office, Justin also didn’t understand why he felt so blocked inside. Probably because he cared? Monica Usher walked in, carrying two cups of coffee. Her business attire showcased elegance amidst fashion, her makeup forever exquisite. She gently placed a cup of coffee on his desk, "Why haven’t you gone back yet?" "Get out," Justin looked up, his gaze sharp. But she didn’t obey, "What’s wrong with you? Why is your mood so bad?" Justin didn’t want to engage with her. She brazenly sat on the couch, "When feeling down, it’s best to find someone to talk to. Having an outlet might improve things significantly." "I told you to leave." He repeated, "Take the coffee too." "Justin." Monica looked at him, her voice delicate, "Why do you treat me ?" She said, "Even if we can’t be together, we’re still in a partnership. As Executive Vice President, we have the same goals, but why do we have to be like enemies?" Justin wasn’t in the mood to explore tonight. "Mrs. Kingston wants to match us, but that’s her business, what does it have to do with me?" Monica said innocently. Justin didn’t answer her. Monica felt slightly relieved, at least he didn’t try to drive her away. "I admit, I like you." She gazed at his extraordinarily handsome face, couldn’t help but show her true feelings, "Is it wrong to like someone? Have I done something to make you so repulsed?" ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ novᴇlfire.net This time returning to Riventhal, Justin’s attitude towards her had greatly changed. Justin wasn’t keen to listen to her feelings tonight, his mind filled with images of Mia Lane dining with Anton Ford, each photograph unsettling him! That woman actually treated his words like a breeze in the ears!
