Chapter 278
“Which department are you from? Why are you here? Do you have nothing to do?” Douglas purposely raised his voice at Sean.
Sean realized that he’d made a big mistake. He didn’t know how to explain himself.
In the end, Douglas forcefully dragged Sean out of the office to the financedepartment.
nore after this.”
when they reached the finance department, Douglas said, “Give him his pay. He doesn’t need to come into work anymore
“Tell HR that Mr. Killian doesn’t want to see his face ever again.”
Shock and fear rattled Sean like a thunderclap in the dark of the night
He grabbed Douglas‘ hand and pleaded, “Mr. Copley, I was wrong. I won’t do it again. Please don’t fireme=”
Douglas yanked his hand away from Sean and turned to leave, leaving the finance department staff staring at each other in confusion.
Back in the office on the top floor, Bernard approached Hera and lightly hugged the hem of her sleeve.
“Sweetie, why did you come here all of a sudden? You didn’t even tell me beforehand. I could’ve picked you up.”
His deep, attractive voice was gentle to the ears.
The cold, domineering aurahe had before this was gone. He pouted like a puppy yearning for its master’s attention. He didn’t look like the person he was when he just entered the office a moment ago.
n used to it by now, but this change in his attitude was overwhelming that day.
Hera had seen his demeanor change drastically several times before. She should’ve been i
Taking a step backward to distance herself from him, she tried to sound calm as she said, “I told you that I was coming here, how would I know if you were telling the truth or just lying to me.”
When Bernard saw Hera keeping her distance from him, his expression turned cold again.
He knitted his boows as he ran through the possibilities in his mind. From what Douglas had told him, Hera had gone out to meet on
she had bumped into Queenie at the coffee shop. After that, Hera insisted on going over to the company to see Bernard
Bernard wondered if Queente had said something to Hera.
“Twas indeed in a meeting just now,” Bernard sad.
“It wasn’t in this company, though. It was at my friend’s company.”
He moved closer to Hera while looking into her enchanting eyes and continued explaining, “I don’t get along well with my relatives at home, so I take on some side gigs. It’s not bed to make some extra money, right?”
Hera stared back at him, her gaze cold.
“This isn’t the only thing you’re hiding from me, right?
Bernard frowned slightly. Did she perhaps discover his true identity?
“Such as what?” he asked.
“Such as she said.
“You don’t the women.”
Bernard was at a loss for words.
“Who told you that?”
“Everyone in this company knows about this, right?” Hera asked, puzzled.
Bernard’s reaction was so intense that she couldn’t decide if he was embarrassed because she had found out about it or simply mad because he had been accused of it Bernard fell silent
He suddenly remembered the time Frederick and Roman discussed his sexual orientation here in the company.
His face fell. So, the “discussion had spread in the company like wildfire. And now, even Hera learned of it
Still, he questioned how she could believe in a rumor like that so easily.
Bernardeursed himself for screwing himself u
up.
“Is that why you’re deliberately staying away from me?” he said, wearing an exasperated smile.
“Why are you always so cute? You have a high 10, and yet you still believe in a rumor like this?”
Herthed his hand to ruffle Hera’s hair, but she dodged his louch.
“A tumor?” Hera repeated
She was skeptical
**You said you aren’t getting along well with your family at home, so why aren’t you considering getting married to inherit Grandpa’s shares?
If Bernard infected the shapes, the other Killian family members would at least tear him a little, even if they disliked him
Hera figured that if she could think
Bernard should ton. She wouldn’t believe it for a second that the idea never occurred to him.
