All Chapters of After Leaving My Fake Marriage, I Flash Married an Untouchable CEO: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

So, when Whitney stepped out of the meeting room, she immediately noticed how unbearably tense the atmosphere in the office had become.Whitney quickly put on a sweet smile, trying to appear friendly.“Hi everyone, I’m Whitney Gray. I’ll be working with all of you from now on. Coffee’s on me today! And if there’s anything I don’t understand in the future, I hope you’ll all help guide me.”She clasped her hands politely in front of her and gave everyone a small bow.No one responded.It was as though nobody saw or heard her attempt at friendliness. Everyone simply continued working in silence.Whitney’s face turned pale, and then flushed with embarrassment.Eventually, even Alex couldn’t stand the awkwardness anymore. He slapped the desk loudly.“What are all of you busy with? Can’t you see there’s a new coworker here? I’ve never seen you people work this enthusiastically before.”Mandy slowly lifted her head from behind her computer screen.“Oh, come on, Mr. Jones. We’re just worried

Sean barely dared to breathe as he looked nervously at his boss.Kayden handed the phone back to him, his expression unreadable.Even so, Sean could still feel the oppressive pressure radiating from him.“Mr. Walker, should I call Miss Shaw back?”No matter how hard Sean tried, he simply couldn’t connect the words cancel the engagement with someone like Kayden.Kayden slightly raised an eyebrow.“Look into it.”“Yes, sir.”Sean felt as though a heavy weight had been lifted off his chest. He quickly turned and left the CEO’s office.Less than a minute later, he hurried back in again.“Mr. Walker.”“Speak.”“Swiftline just called. They said the reporter handling next week’s interview has been changed. Miss Shaw is no longer in charge of interviewing you. They replaced her with Whitney Gray.”Cold sweat instantly formed across Sean’s forehead.“Should I reject the interview?”After speaking, he stood there quietly waiting for Kayden’s response.How could this media company be so clueless

Whitney’s eyes brimmed with tears, her voice trembling slightly as she spoke.“Do you still have something against me? If it really bothers you that much, I can talk to Mr. Jones and give the project back to you…”The moment Valda saw Whitney about to cry, her heart ached for her.She quickly pulled Whitney behind her and turned to scold Florentia. “Why are you so petty? Whitney’s basically your sister. She’s been taking care of me on your behalf, and instead of being grateful, you’re making such a huge deal out of one interview.”“Mrs. Patel, please don’t argue with Florentia because of me. This is my fault…”Whitney sniffled softly.“I just asked on a whim. Since Florentia doesn’t have the materials, it’s no big deal. I’ll make the preparations myself. I’m close with Kayden’s cousin, Sophie Walker, anyway. I can always ask her about him tomorrow.”The moment Valda heard that, her face lit up with delight.“Whitney really is capable. You even know people from the Walker family? I hea

Whitney followed her friend Linda Dean into the café, completely unaware that Florentia was standing outside.Linda lowered her voice and warned her, “Be careful with what you say. This Miss Walker has a terrible temper.”Whitney nodded obediently.Sophie sat there lazily stirring her coffee with a spoon, glancing at her phone every now and then.Why had Florentia not arrived yet?“Sophie.”Sophie looked up and saw Linda, along with Whitney beside her in an elegant designer-style suit.“What is it?”Linda plastered on a smile and pulled out a chair without waiting for permission. “I wanted to introduce you to a friend. This is Whitney Gray, the heiress of the Gray family. She’s a war correspondent and just came back from overseas.”Linda actually felt a little nervous.Sophie was known for her sharp temper and had little patience for strangers.If she were not fairly close to Whitney, and if Whitney had not begged her so persistently, she never would have risked offending Sophie by br

“Even though you’ve been really kind to me, and… I do like the feeling of having someone stand up for me,” Florentia said softly. “I still think I should make things clear.“You invited me here today because of this too, right? Please help me pass a message to Mr. Walker. We’re not a good match.“But if that happens, you won’t be able to inherit Dickson’s estate...”Sophie’s face scrunched up with worry.“I’ll contact the lawyer again about the inheritance and see if there’s another solution,” Florentia replied calmly. “And if marriage really is the only way to claim the inheritance, then I’d rather give the money away than force myself into the wrong relationship again.”She had already gone through one failed relationship.The last thing she wanted was to trap herself in another one.“Can I ask why?”Sophie still sounded unwilling to give up.Florentia answered bluntly, “He’s too much of a playboy.”“Pfft—”Sophie spat out her coffee on the spot.Eyes wide, she stared at Florentia i
