Chapter 502 

Hadwin Stephenson turned around and looked at Taylor Carline. A moment later, he chuckled and said, “It seems that 

there really is a misunderstanding.” 

He said it carelessly with a look of contempt, and Taylor Carline’s face was immediately red. 

He was implying that he was not someone Lina Sweeney would like as he could not even win against Hadwin Stephenson, but Taylor Carline could not argue. 

Hadwin Stephenson once again turned to Lina Sweeney and said, “Tell me if there are any more misunderstandings next time. Don’t let others think that you don’t have a boyfriend.” 

Then, he lovingly touched Lina Sweeney’s head. Lina Sweeney immediately felt like she had a spotlight on her, attracting 

even more envious eyes. 

However, the problem was… She was going to break up with Hadwin Stephenson! The more people envied her now, the more she would be ridiculed in the future. 

Lina Sweeney looked miserable. She was suffering but could 

not let it show. 

The meeting ended in such envy and embarrassment for Hattie Robson and Taylor Carline that they left the room. 

almost immediately. Their colleagues, who had mocked Linal Sweeney earlier, also left looking sour. 

The director looked at Lina Sweeney with a look of relief and did not forget to praise Lina Sweeney in front of Hadwin Stephenson. “Lina has always performed well in our firm. What happened yesterday was a misunderstanding. I think that’s now clear to everyone at the meeting.” 

“I don’t want such misunderstandings to happen again in the future,” said Hadwin Stephenson. 

“That’s for sure,” replied the director. Then, he said to Lina Sweeney, “Lina, tell Chairman Stephenson about the project you’re working on now. You’ll be in charge of the project.” 

Lina Sweeney was surprised that she… got a promotion?! 

However, before she could answer, the director had already left the meeting room. There were only Hadwin Stephenson and Lina Sweeney left. 

Lina Sweeney looked at Hadwin Stephenson and bit her lip. slightly before saying, “You don’t have to invest in my project.” 

“I don’t want to see your hard work go to waste. Didn’t you spend a lot of time and effort on this project?” he said. 

Lina Sweeney could only feel her heart being gently touched by his words. If it were not for the knowledge that their relationship was fake, she would probably have allowed herself to immerse in this man’s gentleness.
