Quinn''s gaze shifted upwards as a familiar silhouette sauntered past the door, the lingering scent of their perfume filling the room. She found herself involuntarily holding her breath.


    It was Getty.Getty, a face well-recognized within thepany, made her entrance without a single soul daring to stop her.


    She had ventured into the CEO''s office, crossing paths with Galen, who had directed her to this location. Without a moment''s hesitation, Getty pushed open the imposing doors to the director''s office and confidently strode in. As she entered, her eyes immediatelynded on Alexander, seated behind his desk."Alexander!" Getty''s voice echoed in the room, her emotions a tumultuous mix of delight and fury.


    She was delighted at the realization that Alexander hadn''t been dismissed, but had instead ascended to the director''s position.


    Fury, however, clouded her joy, directed at Alexander for his deception. Had she not been so resolute in her feelings, or so deeply in love with him, she might have severed their connection by now.


    At the sound of Getty''s voice, Alexander lifted his gaze, "How did youe in here?""Weren''t you supposed to have resigned? I came to confirm that! It turns out you lied to me!"


    Getty''s voice trembled with visible upset, her bag mming onto his desk with a loud thud.Few, if any, dared to address Alexander in such a manner, let alone m objects onto his desk. But for Getty, this behavior was simply par for the


    course.


    Leaning back slightly in his chair, Alexander responded with a nd tone, "What did I lie to you about?""You said you resigned!""I did resign."Getty was taken aback, her frustration evident as she retorted, "And you said you owed thepany billions!""''That''s also a fact."Getty was left speechless, realizing that Alexander hadn''t lied to her. He simply hadn''t disclosed the full extent of his circumstances.C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org.


    After a moment of simmering anger, Getty''s expression softened. She leaned gently into Alexander, her arm wrapping around his as she murmured, "Then why didn''t you tell me that you''re now the director?" Alexander didn''t push her away; instead, he wrapped his arms around her waist, a small smile ying on his lips, "You didn''t ask.""...""Let''s not dwell on this. I''m just d to see that you''re safe and sound." Alexander looked down at her, silent, waiting for her to continue.


    Getty broke the silence, "Actually, Alexander, there''s something else I wanted to talk to you about.""What is it?""You must have seen the news. I don''t know who leaked it, but you''ve got to deal with it.


    Otherwise, I''m going to be roasted."Getty tilted her head back, her red lips pouting as she looked at him with a yful whine.Alexander raised an eyebrow, "What do you want me to do about it?"


    Grinning, Getty said, "It''s simple. Our production crew has a press conferenceing up. Juste with me. Make an appearance, and everything will be fine."The idea was to let everyone know that their rtionship was legitimate, not some scandalous affair.


    Plus, once Alexander made his appearance, the problem would naturally resolve itself, and the spectors would cease their wild guessing. After all, why would he apany her to the press conference if they weren''t a serious couple?Getty looked at him expectantly, awaiting his response."A press conference?""Yeah,e with me, will you?"Alexander reached for a cigarette and lit it, his expression thoughtful. After a drag, the smoke swirling around him, he finally spoke, "I can''t go."The smile on Getty''s lips froze as she frowned, asking, "Why not?""No reason. I''ve told you before not to y tricks. Is your goal really just to have me make an appearance?"
