Chapter 69
He sat on the sofa and pulled her close, and she stood up and he sat down. He used his hand to caress her face.
“Everyone has their own specialty.”
Was that an act of comfort for her?
Stella smiled and nodded.
Then Nathan released her, then his long finger moved to undo his tie, and he threw it on the sofa. As he was unbuttoning it, he asked.
“Where did you go with Liam today?”
“Victor is going abroad again, and Liam and I went to the airport to say goodbye to him.”
Hearing this, Nathan paused his action, slowly raised his head to look at her and pointed at her photo.
“So you’re saying that this is his photo and you’re crying because of him? Why? Is it bad to be away from him?”
Stella knew that this man had a disordered way of thinking. She didn’t have the heart to care about him, so she picked up the photo and was about to put it on the bedside table, but suddenly he hugged her.
“Nathan, you’re crazy! “She was very angry.
Nathan had just finished a meeting, he leaned back in his chair.
His long finger massaged his temple, and he was waiting for Marlon to come and give him the final material from the meeting, and he had waited for a long time, but his assistant hadn’t arrived yet, so he picked up a magazine and started leafing through it.
He had no interest in entertainment gossip, so he preferred to skip that and go for business or financial news. But he noticed a headline, and his eyes darkened and spread to read it clearly.
His face was getting darker, and his eyes were cold.
At this moment, the door to the meeting room was knocked on, and Nathan raised his head to see.
It was someone who looked like a secretary, she was hurrying in.
“President Nathan. “She greeted him respectfully and cautiously. Finally, her gaze fell on the magazine, her face began to pale, she hesitated about what to do.
Nathan’s long fingers held the magazine.
“What’s this?”
The worker shook her head, her face full of panic.
“President Nathan,
“Which department are you from?” Nathan’s eyes were cold.
The worker didn’t dare raise her head, how could she dare look at this man’s face.

“I’m from human resources… With uncontrolled body tremors, she reported back.
“Did you read the magazine at the time of the meeting?”
“President Nathan, I’m not doing this on purpose, I just, I just…” The worker’s face was pale, she almost wanted to cry.
This was an important meeting in which all departments participated. At first, she, as a lower–level employee, didn’t have the chance to take part in the meeting, but her manager was ill those days and she was afraid she wouldn’t be able to concentrate, so she asked some people to take notes for her.
She was the human resources secretary, so she was chosen to take part, She had only looked at the magazine before, and hadn’t finished it, so she just brought the magazine to the meeting. She thought that the meeting would be attended by many people, they wouldn’t pay attention to her, so she continued to read it,
Since today’s gossip was about Nathan, most of the workers wanted know about this man, so she couldn’t help but keep reading about the meeting. However, she hadn’t expected to leave the magazine in the meeting room. When she went back to pick it up, she realized that the magazine had been picked up by Nathan.
Nathan threw the magazine at her feet.
“You can go straight to the accounting department to pick up your paycheck, and you don’t have to come here anymore!”
The worker was surprised, her mind went blank.
She was fired….
“President Nathan, don’t do that. I didn’t do it on purpose. I beg you give me another chance. I won’t do it again…” She cried, and wanted to move in front of him, but was pulled away by the company’s security guards.
At this point Marlon was on his way back from retrieving materials, and just as he was about to enter, he heard a woman scream. He was suspicious, and noticing the magazine, he picked it up and turned the pages. He noticed the headline and read about it.
Then he finally realized what had happened.
That woman had become a scapegoat, even though she had secretly read the magazine during the meeting and, according to the company’s disciplinary guidelines, this act cannot be tolerated and will have a consequence, but the consequence would not be
dismissal.
The main roles in the magazine’s headline were Stella and Victor, and it was published in the largest space in the magazinę, and showed their photo. Not just the current photo of the two of them, but also their childhood photo. The recent photo was taken at the airport.
In the magazine, Stella and Victor were childhood sweethearts, and they stated that originally Stella intended to marry Victor, but ended up reluctant to give up the power and money of the Collins Family, so she used dirty tricks to marry Nathan, however, after the wedding, because she was treated coldly, she once again wanted to be together with Victor.
Their old romance was ignited again, they hid this relationship privately from Nathan and the Collins family, and secretly interacted
in the dark.
Marlon frowned when he looked at this news, doesn’t the media have a limit now? How dare they publish this kind of news? What kind of chaotic news do they write?
“President Nathan, this is your material. “Marlon realized that he hardly had the courage to look him in the eye, he was too cold.
Nathan didn’t know what he was thinking, so he had no answer.
Chapter 69
“President Nathan, actually, that thing in the gossip magazine can’t be trusted…” Marlon said and then slowly left.
“Wait a minute. “Nathan called out to him and used his hand to point at the magazine. “Call the editor of the magazine to talk, ask him about the origin of these things.”
He was doubtful, after all, Stella had always been discreet, and even before the annual Collins company party, and no magazine had ever published her photo. She became the topic of conversation among people because she and her subject all believed that she used tricks to get into his family, but no one ever discussed her subject and Victor.
Nathan didn’t think this question was so simple.
“Right, President Nathan. “Marlon said and then left the meeting room to make a phone call.
Nathan wanted to organize the materials, so he went back to his office. Originally, he wanted to read the material, but realized he couldn’t concentrate.
He turned a few pages, but the image of that magazine kept appearing in his mind. Before the magazine was put into his materials, he looked at it and threw it into the trash can.
