You Are The Pursuit of My Life

Chapter 122

When they returned to the Chandelle Valley in the evening, Edric, who had been teased by Irene the previous day, did not prepare ingredients to cook dinner again. Instead, he took Irene to San Fetillo Hotel, where they had been before. Irene enjoyed the meal very much as the food there was her favorite.

After returning to the villa, she went to the bathroom to have another test when Edric was dealing with business in the study. She found that the color was still the same as that in the morning, which indicated her ovulation period would be in these few days. This showed that Irene should start having sex with Edric. Though, she always felt uncomfortable about it.

"I'm going all out for Eden! If Edric asks for it, I won't refuse him tonight!" Irene thought as if she swore.

Irene was mentally prepared, but Edric was busy dealing with business in the study. She fell asleep later. Anyway, it was not her exact ovulation period yet. Hence, she did not have to seduce him.

When Irene arrived at the company the next day, she suddenly found that the atmosphere in the office seemed to be different from usual. She assumed that she had overthought. Later, when she went to the pantry, she unexpectedly overheard gossips.

"No wonder I felt that she looked familiar. I didn't know that she had been on the Matchmaking Programme before until I saw the news. Her news gave rise to much discussion at that time. Later, she went out with an unknown man. Looking at her stunning look on the show before, I thought she and that man would get married, but I didn't expect..."

"Only you would believe it. I never believe in the Matchmaking Programme. It's just a gimmick that the TV station planned to boost the ratings," another lady remarked.

"Is Irene not a single mother? If so, why are there so many bachelors fond of her? The Mr. Reed of the Golden Age Group used to like her, and so does the Mr. Myers of the Myers Group. What do these men like about her?" asked one of the girls. "Because she's pretty! Don't you think she's pretty?"

The tallest girl then scoffed and chimed, "So what? She's just a mistress. No matter what, she wouldn't join them for official events."

Irene could not bear to listen to them any longer and rushed in with a cup in her hand. The people who were gossiping about her did not expect her to show up. For a moment, their faces were colored with awkwardness, and they dismissed immediately. Irene felt a wave of raging anger within her. She wondered why these people were gossiping about her in the pantry. What on earth happened?

Just as she was pondering, her phone rang. She answered the phone and heard Kinsey saying, "Oh no, Irene! Someone leaked out the matter between you and Edric, and everyone is seeing you as a mistress now. The TV program you've participated in has also been mentioned. It has a terrible impact on you now. You'd better be mentally prepared."

With the phone in her hand, Irene was stunned. After a while, she ran back to the office. When the people in the office saw her coming in, they stopped talking instantly. She went back to her own seat and clicked on the browser while she took in the overwhelming information.

She saw the photos of her having meals with Edric, riding the same car together, and her entering the Chandelle Valley. The news reported that Edric had a new lover again and that the new lover was suspected to be the single mother of the Matchmaking Program, Irene.

She glanced at the context in a hurry. The media reported that she was not a single mother but used this identity to deceive the public. It turned out that she had always been a mistress and trying to marry a son from a wealthy and influential family. She used to hook up with Jordan, but the Reed family opposed their relationship. Now, she chose to sleep with Edric again. She obviously knew that Edric was engaged but still lived with him in the same house.

All the comments below were criticism of her as a shameless mistress. Irene's hands were shaking. She regained her composure, stood up from her seat, and walked into Wilson's office. She tried her best to keep calm and asked for leave from Wilson. She had to find a place where no one was around to calm down and think about ways to deal with this matter.

Unexpectedly, when she marched out of the company, she met a group of reporters approaching her. They raised the cameras at her and asked her all kinds of questions. There were even a few tall and strong women who rushed out of nowhere reproached her. "I used to admire you very much. I thought it had been difficult for you, a single mother, to raise your child, but I didn't expect you to be a mistress! All my sympathy for you is gone now..." "Don't let her go just like that! We should expose all the nasty things that the shameless people like her have done to the public," another yelled.
