Chapter 71

Five nunutes later, as Sherri was heading towards the entrance, she coincidentally bumped into Kyle, who was about to enter the room

“Miss Landor, Kyle greeted politely

Sherri was well-acquainted with Kyle, Edward’s assistant. He was frequently seen at various events, and Edward often brought him home In recent years, Kyle had also been accompanying Edward on overseas trips.

“Kyle, long time no see. You’ve grown taller, Sherri welcomed.

Kyle responded with a serious tone, “Miss Landor, I have already undergone puberty, so there won’t be any further growth”

“Ah, is that so? I thought men would have a second growth spurt like women. But I forgot that men can’t experience the miracle of childbirth Sherri laughed.

Kyle remained silent, unable to come up with a response to Sherri’s remark.

Sherri entered the room, her laughter still lingering, and pushed open the door. “Edward, I’ve ordered a lot of food for you to enjoy. Huh! Why are you sitting next to Natalie now?” she exclaimed.

Edward gestured to Kyle and said, “Kyle, have a seat.”

As Kyle approached his seat, he glanced at the pizza, his gaze filled with mixed emotions. He thought, “Is Mr. Landor postponing the meeting to join these ladies and indulge in their leftovers? He seems to be thoroughly enjoying himself!”

Noticing Kyle’s fixed gaze on the pizza, Natalie became aware of his discomfort. Without uttering a word, she swiftly stood up and exited the room.

Edward stopped eating and quickly grasped the situation, and a subtle smile formed on his lips, hinting at his understanding.

Observing his boss’s redirected gaze toward the doorway, Kyle seemed to have comprehended the situation and gleaned some understanding from it.

Shortly after, Natalie entered the room accompanied by two servers. One of the servers carried a steaming fresh pot base while the other swiftly replaced the old one on the table

Edward observed the situation but did not intervene, understanding Natalie’s intention,

The door remained open as two servers needed to move in and out to replace the pot of soup base. Sherri and Kyle instinctively moved to the corner, creating more space for their movement.

However, unbeknownst to them, Mia and her close friend happened to be passing by and caught a glimpse of the scene through the partially open door. In that brief moment, they managed to capture a photo.

With a mischievous grin, Mia could not resist the temptation. She swiftly edited the photo, adding provocative captions that insinuated a scandalous relationship before sending the manipulated image to the same group of journalists as before. Afterward, she casually returned her phone to her bag, satisfied with her devious act.

Curiosity piqued, Mia’s friend could not help but ask, “Who is that woman? Why is she dining with Mr. Landor? Do you think she’s his girlfriend?”

“I’m not sure. Maybe she is. I sent a
