Both men had just loll Weston’s office,
Ben clearly called them insolent, probably for offending Vieston,
Yet, the man claimed that it was they who’d offended Vieston’s woman
Guinevere herself had never seen these two men, clearly indicating that the woman they were referring
to…
Was someone else
When she entered Weston’s office, Guinevere said to Ben, “CO and be busy with your work.”
Ben hesitated for a moment before nodding, “Just call me if you need anything.”
“I will.”
Guinevere turned to look at Weston, who was going through some documents,
“Weston,” she called out as she shut the door behind her,
He did not reply
As if he hadn’t sensed her arrival at all, he continued on his work without so much as looking up at her,
Guinevere took a deep breath to calm hersell down at his obvious negligence of her, “Weston Ford,
don’t you have
anything to say to me?”
“What do you want to hear?” He flipped a page of his document, his expression unchanged.
Guinevere clenched her fists. “Where exactly were you at last night?”
She refused to believe that the masked man from last night had nothing to do with Weston. The
corners of Weston’s mouth lifted as he spoke with a slight tinge of sarcasm. “I made myself clear, but
you don’t seem to understand.”
“I know I shouldn’t interfere with your whereabouts, but…”
Guinevere’s nails dug into the flesh of her palm as she forced herself to keep calm. “I just want to know
if you were the man from last night? You had just rejected me, and you agreed to attend the banquet
with someone else the next moment. Do you know how others will see me?”
“Is what other people think of you so important?”
Weston put down the document in his hand and rubbed between his brows. “What’s more, you had a
partner. You didn’t need me at all.”
“That’s not true…”
Guinevere’s eyes shifted, “It’s because I was certain that you wouldn’t agree, which was why I found
someone else…”
She suddenly realized something mid-sentence, and she
exclaimed with joy, “Weston, are you jealous? There’s really nothing between that man and me. I only
invited him because of his status in the industry. I have no feelings for him. I only agreed to his
invitation at the very last minute because you said you couldn’t join me due to work. If this bothers you,
I’ll cut off all contact…”
“I won’t interfere with your work in any way.” Weston cut her off coldly. “As for your relationship with
him, I won’t interfere in that as well, as long as you know how to handle the media.”
Guinevere’s face froze. “What do you mean? What do you mean by not interfering in my relationship
with him?”
She was in disbelief. “Do you mean to say that no matter what I do with other men, you wouldn’t
care?”
Weston lifted his hand and glanced at his watch, “Gwen, I thought we agreed on this we never interfere
in each other’s work.”
“But this isn’t the same! This falls outside of the boundaries of work! You could’ve been jealous! You
could’ve cared!”
Guinevere was clearly agitated. “We’re about to be husband and wife. You should be jealous. You
should care! How could you not?”
Weston’s brows furrowed, “What exactly are you trying to say?”
Guinevere finally recalled why she was here upon seeing his cold and distant side profile.
She took a deep breath and pressed her palms together, “I’m not here to argue about these things with
you. I just want the honest truth from you: Did you or did you not attend the banquet last night?”
He looked into her eyes unflinchingly, “What is the purpose of finding out the answer to your
question?”
