Lahat ng Kabanata ng Goodbye, My Hidden Billionaire Ex: Kabanata 131 - Kabanata 140

At three in the afternoon, Amy suddenly burst into the office: "Miss Emerson, Lily is here raising hell with Cheryl! They're being held back by security outside.""And a bunch of reporters just showed up too."In the past twelve-ish hours, Cheryl first posted that the recording was maliciously edited and AI-generated. Then, she claimed the company and Alexis were setting her up.Too bad the netizens were sharp as tacks. They immediately presented various certifications proving the recording was definitely not AI or maliciously edited.Next, Cheryl tried a live-streamed suicide attempt for sympathy. But most netizens and fans didn't buy it.Basically, she's completely toast. The company's legal team has already sent her a termination notice.Given Cheryl's current situation, the company has every right to terminate the contract unilaterally, without paying a single cent in damages."The next steps fall under Miss Cromwell's purview," Sheila told Amy. "Let's turn a deaf ear to all the d

For over a week, Sheila had barely seen Killian.Killian had actively called her a few times, and she hadn't dared to be negligent, replying to every message. After all, they had an agreement, and he was still her big boss.But each time, she tried her best to restrain her emotions, finding various excuses to avoid him.She also tried not to let Killian notice anything. He was busy with a million things, he probably didn’t have time to think too much.That's how she was, so busy these days that she didn't have time to overthink things.At most… at most, she would inexplicably think of him sometimes, but it was alright.Sheila suddenly thought it was good to work at Orange Entertainment. That way, she wouldn't have to see Killian at the Group, and then see him again at home, living together day and night – it was too easy to develop feelings.Once this infatuation passed, they could continue with their no-strings-attached relationship. She should be able to do it.Sheila walked to the

“Mr. Ford!”“CEO of the Ford Group?”“Yeah, you don’t know him?”“OMG, he’s so handsome, even more handsome than he looks on TV!”“Is he visiting the set? We’re just a low-budget web series, aren't we?”“Miss Emerson was just here, didn't you see her?”“You mean the new director that HQ sent over?”“Yeah! I heard she's Mr. Ford's mistress...”…The crowd whispered amongst themselves.Alexis quickly gathered the supervisor and producer to greet him.However, Killian walked straight towards Sheila. “All talked out?”All eyes turned to her. Sheila was a little embarrassed. “Yeah, pretty much.”The producer rushed to greet Killian. “Mr. Ford, we didn’t expect you to visit this late. We’re not prepared at all, we’re so…”Killian cut him off, “I’m here with my girlfriend, not to inspect. You don’t need to be so formal.”The word “girlfriend” hit everyone like a ton of bricks.Even Sheila was surprised.This was the first time he had publicly acknowledged her status. Not Ford’s wife, sure, b

She was staring blankly when Killian's voice cut through her thoughts, "What are you looking at?"Sheila turned to look at him."Nothing.""Is Sebastian here?"Killian nodded, "Yeah, he'll be down in a minute."Less than ten minutes later, Sebastian came downstairs, rocking jeans and a white shirt with sunglasses hanging from the chest.It was a simple outfit, but on Sebastian, it had a fashion week vibe. No wonder LE was so interested in him."Ugh, can't you guys just not force me to do this?" Sebastian looked at them with utter despair.Sheila looked at Killian, confused.She'd assumed Killian had convinced him, but now it seemed like he'd been coerced.She wondered what Killian had said to him?Seeing Killian's indifference, Sebastian looked pitifully at Sheila, "Sheila, I'll do anything if you just don't make me sign the commercial deal."Sheila thought he was about to cry.But he was also a big boss at Orange Entertainment. She was just an employee. Wasn't this all to make money

"Like you."Killian's scorching gaze meticulously traced her face, finally settling on her eyes."I think..." His sharp voice deepened, "It's obvious enough, isn't it? Can't you feel it?"Sheila's breath hitched.The noisy voices around her seemed to be muted, leaving only Killian's deep voice echoing in her ears.His fallen tie was lifted by the wind, gently brushing against the back of her cool hand."What about you?""Is there anyone else here right now?"Killian's fingertip lightly tapped the spot over her heart, his gaze locked on her face, capturing every subtle expression.Without a doubt, he was referring to Kane.Sheila declared resolutely, "There hasn't been for a long time."If he hadn't brought it up, she would have almost forgotten Kane.The man she had loved deeply for six years... in just one short year, she had moved on.She had once thought that she would never love anyone the way she loved Kane.Turns out, feelings were just like that.And her love could be passionat
