All Chapters of Innocent scandal with Mr PR : Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Narrator“How is it going with you and the Williams son?” Mrs. Long asked. Her daughter had first rejected the idea of a blind date when her father brought it up, but after going to the Williams house, she was immediately interested. Her mother could tell that her daughter must have taken a fancy to the young man.“He does not seem to like me much. He told me on our first date that he was only going with the motion. I told him it was the same for me. I was hoping that he would get to like me as we got to know each other, but nothing,” Clarissa answered. She felt a bit uncomfortable.“How is that possible? You are beautiful and accomplished,” Mrs. Long said. In her eyes, her daughter was the best. Moreover, given how the two had interacted during the charity gala, she thought their relationship should have progressed. It was indeed shocking to hear her daughter's answer.“Anyway, that was the first date, right? He agreed to be your partner and did not argue when others misunderstood yo

Gina’s POVThe next day at the office, I kept thinking about what Mum said.Invite him for dinner this weekend.It sounded simple, but it was not.Roland was already in his office when I arrived. He looked calm and serious as usual, going through documents. I stood at the door for a few seconds before knocking.“Come in,” he said without looking up.I walked in and greeted him. He nodded and gave me some files to sort out. His voice was steady and professional, as if we were only boss and assistant.Even if in reality that was all we really were.All morning, he was busy with meetings. Every time I thought I had a chance to speak, someone else would enter the office. Managers, clients, phone calls — it never stopped.At lunch break, I saw him walking quickly down the hallway with his assistant beside him.“President Roland has an urgent meeting. Sort out those files and send them as soon as possible,” the assistant informed me as he left.I forced a small smile. “I understand.”In the

Roland POVThe client called to cancel the meeting I was supposed to have later that evening, so I decided to leave the office earlier. That Friday was my close friend Alex’s birthday. He had not been around for a while.He specially called a week ago, saying he was hosting a few friends for his birthday that Friday evening.I agreed to attend but said I would be a bit late since I was already scheduled for the meeting. However, the client canceled at the last minute, and I decided to go along with it.I made my way to the parking lot because I was aware that Gina had just left. I was not sure why, but I wanted to ask Gina to come along. However, when I arrived at the parking lot, I saw two figures standing near her car, so I cleared my throat to get their attention.I was surprised to see that it was Ethan Cole.True, I knew the two of them had history. After all, Ethan had sent her over half a million during the scandal, but seeing them so close made me uncomfortable.“You two seem

Roland's POV"You really don't like that GG girl?" Alex asked when we walked outside together. It was just the two of us, and we have been friends for so long.Hearing his question, I thought of Gina. Of course, I liked her, but there were a few factors standing in our way. The biggest being that Gina was still in love with her ex."What does that have to do with anything?" I raised my brows."I know you. I saw the video from your grandma's birthday. She is not Miss Long, right?" he asked."How do you know that?" I asked. I knew of the trending news, but I did not bother to correct them. After all, the longer the public investigated in the wrong direction, the more Gina's identity could be kept secret."No," I shook my head."If you really like her, why do you insist you are single? Don't tell me you are afraid of getting the woman you like?" Alex teased."Well, I don't think she likes me in that kind of way," I answered honestly.Alex burst into a fit of laughter. "I never thought yo

Gina's POV“You don’t trust me?” he asked. I could see the hurt in his gaze. I wanted to tell him I did, but what Ethan had done made that impossible.“Why?” he asked again. He could not understand why I would not trust him when he had never done anything to make me doubt him. But I was insecure.Until Ethan betrayed me, I had not seen the signs.Roland cupped my face. It seemed like he was about to say something, but at that moment there was a knock on the door. I tried to get up, but Roland’s hold was not easy to escape, so I failed. Before we could react, the person outside pushed the door open without waiting for an answer.I panicked and quickly jumped off him. Maybe he let me go, but my movement was sudden, causing my dress to look disheveled. I tried to arrange it, but the person was already inside.“Did I interrupt something?” Betty asked.I looked up and met her disdainful gaze. She had been friendly for a few days. I did not expect things to go back to how they were because
