As her thoughts began to wander, she suddenly received a call from Zayn.
Carla immediately tensed up. She carefully answered the phone after clearing her throat. "Hello?"
"What are you up to?"
The man sounded as frigid as usual despite being the one to make the call.
"I'm just spacing out." She lay down on the couch before she asked, "Is something the matter?"
"I'll come back and take care of your resignation, " Zayn remarked professionally.
"Oh. That's very kind of you. Thank you, Mr. Giblo, " she replied carefully.
"Do you not have anything to tell me?"
She pondered for a moment before answering, "Good night."
The conversation fell silent, and the man hung up a few seconds later.
She didn't know what to think. What should I have told him?
Whether or not he's actually Gigolo, he probably already knows what Lola did at the company.
But so what if he does?
Should I be complaining to him about it and asking him to help me?
You're the one I'm most afraid of, Mr. Giblo!
I'd have so much less to think about if you weren't involved.
Carla tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep. A day had already passed, and she still didn't know how to deal with the mother-daughter duo who were trying to cause trouble for her.
Should I really marry someone?
Zayn will kill me if I do, won't he?
The night passed before she even realized it.
Her phone suddenly rang while she was in a slumber. "Hello?" she asked, her eyes remaining shut.
"Carla! Have you seen the news?" Lilian sounded incredibly excited.
"What?"
Still in a daze, Carla thought the woman was talking about yesterday's news.
"Pictures of you and Mr. Stayton are all over the Internet now, " Lilian exclaimed. "There are even videos of your car sex. Oh, God! What a steamy couple you both are!"
That comment got Carla to freeze for a moment. "Car sex? What are you talking about?" she asked in bewilderment.
"The paparazzi took pictures of what you did in the car with Mr. Stayton last night! You were at the beach. It's all over the Internet now, and everyone at work has seen it."
Carla was dumbstruck. Could it have been Harry and Lena?
How am I part of all this?
"I just heard that the company might fire you, but that's fine. You have Mr. Stayton, so you won't have to worry about anything for the rest of your life!"
"That's not it, Lilian—"
"You're not bad at all, Carla! I blushed so hard watching that video. Hahaha! I just sent you the link. Have a look at it."
Lilian was in exceptionally high spirits as though she was talking about the best news in the world.
As Carla tapped on the link, her jaw dropped.
A secret hookup between Stayton Group president and his mistress!
The article included photos of a couple dining and being affectionate with each other inside a private room at The Limetree. There were even photos of them making out inside the elevator.
The strangest thing was that Harry had been photographed clearly in every photo, whereas Lena's face was completely indiscernible. All that could be seen were her hair, body, and clothes.
Moreover, the article stated that the woman inside the pictures was a minor secretary from Divine Corporation called Miss Wigston.
Who else could this be referring to?
Carla was at a complete loss for words. That woman is clearly Lena! Why are they saying it's me?
Even if no one else has any idea, whoever took the photos should've known!
Carla frantically tapped on the next link.
Harry Stayton gets steamy with his mistress in a car by the beach!
On top of more videos and pictures, the entire ordeal had also been described in detail.
The video showed Harry sitting on the passenger seat with the female lead riding him on top. The two looked utterly intoxicated.
The man's face and body were clearly visible, but again, the woman's features were unrecognizable.
Only Carla knew it was Lena.
Yet, all the news articles pointed to a little secretary from Divine Corporation.
Some even revealed the female lead's real name—Carla Wigston!
