Chapter 69 - The rumor

Before Mr Robin sign the contract with Bright investments the door was pushed open with force making everyone to look over at the person that dare to trespass on the devil's territory.

Susan was pushed in by one of the maids from Tim's mansion, she sat looking beautiful even without any make up and her head wrapped in bandage.

She smile sweetly to everyone even while looking pale, the directors of TS corporation were fuming with anger looking at the seductress that let such ill fate befall them, while the directors from Bright investments careless about her.

What they are concern about is that she came too late and they are now in charge of the project worth $100 billion dollars that will take there company to a total new level . Who will not be elated to construct the biggest mall well furnished in their country.

Sophia on the other hand was trembling within, thou she did not know what later happened back at the abandoned house but she knew she was heavily battered. She compose herself when she remember no one saw her face the other time.

She was relief that and sad at the same time, part of her was relief that she was OK but another part of her was sad because she has completely loss out in gaining Jerry's affection. She smirked when she recollect the defeat expression she saw on Jerry the other time.

' Who cares when I have already secure a multi billion dollars project that will change my fate. You will soon dump a low class like her and crawl your way to me, that time I will make you do my bidding .'

" Hello everyone..." The voice of Susan cut into her thought making her to look up. " Permission to speak Mr CEO!" said one of the directors of TS corporation cutting Susan midway into her sentence.

Susan smile but she did not say anything, she clearly know how they feel at the moment. Her gaze met with Jerry, he looked at her as if seeking for her approval before answering the director. She nod of him given him the go ahead.

The little exchange between the couple was noticed by majority of the directors making them sneer at her and their hatred for her grow big in their heart without even considering why she was injured." Permission granted Mr James."

" Sir, with due respect sir! I did not question your leadership because all if us here as witness how you grow and establish yourself in business world but this time around I will have to she my disappointment of making your personal life overrule your responsibility...." Matt slam his hand hard on the table making everyone flinch with the sudden interruption.

" I will not have you question his responsibility Mr James. Have you forgotten or you did not realise you are talking to Mr Tim Jeremiah? If you have forgotten I will have to remind you again.... He was the one that brought you out of gutter clean you up and made you what you are..."

" Enough Assistant Matt! I will not have you insult me and for your information an grateful for what he has done but no thanks for bringing it up again . I am where I am because I separate my personal life from my work and I did not give room for any bitch to seduce me. "

Mr James pour out all sentences with each word lace with venom. Assistant Matt kept quiet not because he gave up but because his boss is holding his hand tight under the table to calm him down.

Jerry felt really warm in his heart for having someone to defend him, he noticed the glint in Sophia's eyes as if she was watching some kind of soap opera while the other directors are throwing dagger at his wife. " Really ?Mr James? so you are telling me now that am an irresponsible man? " Jerry asked in amusement.

Even thou the amusement in his voice sent shiver down their spine, they are still giving him the look sayings isn't it obvious !'

" I understand you Mr James and everyone but can you please listen to my explanation...." Susan was interrupted by another director.

" I don't think that will be necessary Miss....." again Sophia interrupt him too because she suddenly feel a nagging feeling in her heart.

" Mr Robin , can you please proceed with the signing , I need to get out of here."

" You don't need to rush Miss Sophia. More so Miss Susan is here don't you think we should listen to her explanation?"

Sophia gritted her teeth in annoyance, she want to leave this place as soon as possible, she did not know why this man have interest in the explanation of this slut . " You are right but I don't think that will be necessary Sir, since it is now in our favour we should get done with it so we can leave them to solve their internal issue."

" I think you are right..." he made a deliberate pause while Sophia was happy inside. it the statement he said next crumble her hope totally. " But don't worry am a man of my word miss Sophia, we can't tell her explanation might be of help ." Sophia did not say anything any more she only smile at him in understanding.

" I don't think it is wise to interrupt her Mr Daniel, I advise everyone to listen to her first." said Jerry in a very dangerous voice making everyone to shift their attention back to Susan.

" Thank you Mr CEO, as I was saying before I was rudely interrupted." Mr James and Mr Daniel sent a dagger at her but she just smile at them before she continue.

" According to the rumor that was on ground some weeks ago that I as a special assistant to the CEO of this company seduced the CEO and thus ran away with documents necessary for this project...."

Susan smiled " What I can say is the master mind is competent to have present such an innocent act of helping a stranger as an evident of my infidelity." many of the directors sneer at her.

" If you are saying it was an innocent act, what were you doing with that man and why are you talking to him outside the company during working hour?"
