When those in the project management department heard Wrenna's voice, a chill ran down their spines, and they quickly scattered off to their respective desks.
Wrenna glanced curiously at the article the others had been discussing, and the sight of the unseemly photos wrenched at her heart.
“Where did Harold go?” she asked the others, her expression grim.
The person who sat next to Harold at work piped up softly, “He probably went to the restroom, Ms. Turner.”
“Tell him to come to my office when he gets back.”
Wrenna looked livid as she returned to her office.
Seeing the evident jealousy on Wrenna's face, the others were thoroughly in awe of Harold.
When Harold returned to his desk after taking a smoke in the restroom, he could not help noticing that his colleagues were looking at him strangely.
There was also a difference in how the men looked at him compared to the women.
He detected a look of admiration in the men's gazes while the women stared at him with what seemed to be contempt!
“You're wanted in Ms. Turner's office. Good luck, buddy. If you make it out alive, I'll have to take lessons from you on how to pick up the ladies. I still can't understand how on earth you bag all these beautiful women!” his colleague said in a pitying tone mingled with admiration.
Puzzled, Harold went into Wrenna's office.
He wondered whether it was because Charlotte missed him.
“You wanted to see me, Ms. Turner?”
Harold's confusion deepened when he walked into Wrenna's office and saw her solemn expression.
“What's your relationship with that female celebrity, Marilyn Schmidt?” she asked somewhat jealously.
His heart lurched at her question, and he felt a twinge of guilt as he responded, “She's my wife's best friend. Why do you ask?”
“You... You're utterly despicable!”
Wrenna's expression was already grim, but she looked even more upset after hearing his reply.
He told me before that he has a wife, but I thought that was a lie. I can't believe it's actually true! What's even more maddening is that this b*stard went and slept with his wife's best friend! Oh, I really have the urge to give him a good thrashing. Some would say not to shit where you eat, but even his wife's best friend is not safe from him!
“I'm despicable?” Harold echoed, feeling even more baffled.
“Take a look for yourself!”
With that, Wrenna turned her laptop toward him.
Harold was stunned when he saw the image on the screen. He immediately leaned close to the laptop and watched the video from start to end.
Fury surged through him after he watched it, and he whipped out his phone to call Craig.
“Are you asking for trouble, Craig? Go and tell Philip and James to meet me at Galaxy Media. Now!” Harold roared angrily at the person on the other end of the line.
It was the first time had had ever flown into such a rage since getting involved in the underground circles.
Wrenna, who was sitting at her desk, was dumbfounded when she heard Harold demand that Dellmoor's Big Three meet him at the office.
Then, she remembered that Harold was the renowned God of War and that the person who was organizing activities around the world to raise funds was merely a fake identity.
Her earlier resentment and jealousy dissipated, or perhaps she felt she had no right to be jealous.
