Chapter 202
Moira was carried back to her room, and when she was set down, she suddenly noticed the wireless earpiece on Barclay’s ear.
She froze, and a thought crossed her mind. “Mr. Covington, what were you doing just now?”
Was he in a meeting?
Barclay glanced at her. “I was in a meeting. What’s the matter?”
Moira’s whole body stiffened. Why did this plot straight out of a cheesy romance novel have to happen to her?
Barclay looked at her, asking, “What’s wrong?”
Blushing furiously, Moira waved her hand. “Nothing, continue your meeting. I won’t disturb you.”
It was only a bit of embarrassment. It was not a big deal since it was not the first time she had humiliated herself.
Barclay chuckled lightly at her dejected appearance. “Don’t worry, they can’t see.”
Moira retorted, “But they can hear!”
Barclay continued, “They won’t dare to speak out of turn.”
The thought of walking in on Barclay’s video conference earlier made Moira feel even more embarrassed. “I’ll wash my face. You should go back to your meeting!”
This was too awkward to continue discussing.
“Alright.” Barclay nodded. “If you need anything, come find me in the study.”
Moira couldn’t believe what he was saying! She wouldn’t dare to go to the study even if she needed something!
Seeing her flushed face, Barclay was afraid she might suffocate herself from holding her breath. He smirked and left Moira’s room feeling
satisfied.
Meanwhile, one of the individuals Barclay mentioned as “won’t dare to speak out of turn” couldn’t resist asking, “Was the person who came in just now Mrs. Covington?”
Executive A remarked, “If Mr. Covington had a mistress, rumors about his dysfunction wouldn’t exist.”
Executive B said, “I wonder who started this rumor. There’s nothing wrong with Mr. Covington.”
Executive C nodded. “Exactly! Didn’t you hear? Mr. Covington said Mrs. Covington was exhausted last night!”
Barclay left the room but didn’t take off his earpiece, so he could hear their gossiping.
He sat back in his chair and looked at the table of people on the screen with a half–smile. “Continue.”
Executives A, B, and C thought they were done for.
After that day, Moira never dared to casually enter the study again.
In August, Arnelo became hotter day by day. Juliet arranged a beach trip for the company next week and invited Moira to buy sexy swimsuits

over the weekend.

After shopping all afternoon, Juliet failed to find a sexy swimsuit, while Moira ended up buying two sets of sexy lingerie.
Initially, Moira only glanced at them, but Juliet could tell what she was thinking. She called the salesperson over to help Moira find the right
size to try on.
Once inside the fitting room, Moira tried on the lingerie. As she looked at herself in the mirror, she felt a bit embarrassed but believed that such lingerie was something she could own.
Hence, she bought them out of impulses.
Since Juliet couldn’t find a swimsuit she liked, they decided to check out the luxury brand counters at the nearby mall.
Juliet’s mother’s birthday was coming up, so she planned to buy her a Chanel handbag.
Moira thought of Aiken’s birthday and decided to pick a watch for him.
Juliet had already done her research before coming. She quickly bought the same bag as their neighbor, the one her mother had been
eyeing.
As they were about to leave, they heard a familiar voice before even stepping out of the store. “Are there any new handbags recently?”
Moira and Juliet exchanged glances, both feeling unlucky. “How did we run into her?”
Alfie’s sister was a headache for both of them. While Moira used to avoid Barbara in the past, she wanted to avoid her even more now.
“Let’s go this way,” Juliet said, knowing how irritating Barbara could be. “We’re leaving.”
Otherwise, they’d have to engage in some unpleasant conversation.
But just as they turned to leave, Barbara spotted them.
