บททั้งหมดของ Fated to My Alpha Boss: บทที่ 161 - บทที่ 170

The hospital discharged me four days after Wendy told me about my interview. I’d called Bruce Conroy and asked if he could switch the interview. Not that I’d tried too hard. When he said no, I simply accepted the answer and told Charles he’d denied the request.Charles left the hospital, furious, when I told him the arrangements were for Anthony to pick me up and do the interview, then take me home. He’d slammed the door on his way out, making all the nurses shriek.I knew Anthony had arrived when one of the nurses came in, flushed and fluttering her hand to fan herself. “Elena. He’s here. And you could fry bacon on him he&rsquo

Theo wrinkled his nose. “I don’t think that’s the case,” he said slowly, taking his time over the words.“How can you be so sure?” I asked.“Because if it really is a plot to discredit you, then what good does it do to leave us in a room naked together where no one can see? Whatever walk of shame we have to take to get out of this building isn’t going to be public enough to have a large-scale impact.”“Yes, but if we’re seen coming out together, then people will assume the worst of us.

“I’m not planning on going anywhere today,” Charles said, reassuring Theo. “I already called in when you guys were missing this morning, saying that I wouldn’t be in to work until I found you.

It was better not to make a public statement until I knew exactly what was going on.”“But,” he looked at me, and he looked at both our guards, “I will have to make a public statement soon. As the owner and operator of Rafe Media, if I don’t come out and make a statement, I look like I’m hiding something or worse.”

“I don’t know if I can find the mood to fool around right now,” I said.“I guess I can see that,” he replied. “How about this? Give me five minutes to try, and we’ll see if we find the mood. If not, I’ll leave you alone while you shower and get ready. But I honestly think you could use to do something besides sit and think too hard about the possibilities.”I beckoned him over to the bed, fished my laptop out, and stashed it back in its permanent hiding spot so that we wouldn’t crush it under the pillows and forget about it and leave it where our guards could see.
