Chapter 121 He Was Not A Good Man
Vice Mr. Hughes didn’t know many women personally, but there were countless women who knew him. He was known for his notorious reputation after all, having overshadowed many celebrities and stars in the city.
Therefore, in the face of these women, Vice Mr. Hughes was quite calm to accept the fact as it was. He was afraid that he would fall into a situation where another woman would secretly fall in love with him, and he wouldn’t be able to leave it easily.
Unexpectedly for him, Macy knew Gabby. If it came down to it, would she rival against Gabby for his love?
Macy wasn’t surprised by Lawrence’s response. After all, she was just an intern in the Hughes Group branch she worked at, so it was expected that he wasn’t familiar with her person. But as she knew him, she knew it was protocol to acknowledge him by showing him respect when he came in, as was customary. She quickly stood up, stepped out from behind her chair and bowed low to Lawrence.
“Good afternoon, Vice Mr. Hughes.”
He glanced at Macy with a flicker of panic as he accepted the serious and professional greeting
He wondered whether she was trying to attract his attention in some special way. Then she was a cunning and shrewd woman.
Vice Mr. Hughes, I am an intern in the advertising department at the Hughes Group in the high-tech zone. I joined the company last month. My name is Macy. Do you remember … I was … I was blackmailed on my third day here, but you helped me. Do you have any memory of this? Even if you don’t, I would like to bestow my appreciation to you! Thank you for that, Vice Mr. Hughes.” Noticing the seriousness of her words, Lawrence realized she was being genuine and did not, in fact, seem to have any intentions of seducing him. He felt a pang of disappointment was he that unattractive?
‘Damn it! Doesn’t she like my style? She’s just like Gabrielle.”
Both the friends, this intern and Gabrielle seemed to share the same sentiment towards him. They were very similar: their language. facial expressions, tone and manner of speaking there was no trace of admiration towards him at all.
Lawrence had always been a “playboy”.
popular for his ways around women. He received many confessions of love and admiration from both men and women towards him and he was very used to it. However, now, he felt uncharacteristically frustrated and for the second time he doubted his own charm and appeal.
“Oh, it’s been quite some time since that incident last month. I’m afraid I have forgotten what happened. Besides, you will always receive help from me here at Hughes Group as an employee, and it is my job as your boss. You don’t have to be overly thankful.” The smile on Lawrence’s face faltered as he seriously delivered his response.
He reminded himself to be professional; not only was this woman a friend of Gabrielle’s, but she was also an intern at Hughes Group. and his own words reminded him that he was her superior
He had to be careful or his reputation would not be spared.
“Vice Mr. Hughes, you are really a good man,
Macy praised Lawrence.
Lawrence couldn’t help but blush at the compliments.
Gabrielle always looked down on him and berated him: could it be that Macy hadn’t yet
heard the rumor about Lawrence because of her lack of experience and familiarity among these people?
Lawrence was a good man?
Men all over the world were good people, but Lawrence was not.
Men who chased girls and played women everywhere were not good people, and this kind of game between men and women that Lawrence loved playing, was a cheap game, equivalent to the dating version of fast-food.
There was no harm in being with people you liked, or being separated from people you didn’t. However, Lawrence was on another level. He even paid money to women for their company, but that always ended up with a final, eventual good-bye!
“Thank you, I appreciate it.” It was rare for Lawrence to be so embarrassed.
It was easy for women to blame him for his actions, especially if they had been together only for a short time. Even the women who had received payment from him would take the cash and then ironically yell at him at the end of it.
before he began to look for the next one, so it WAS natural that this reputation brought about these sentiments among them
