After thinking for some time, Yvonne rejected Penney's request. She didn't know how to approach Jenkins about it, either.
Penney, driven by both stress and despair, had no choice but to steal Yvonne's phone over.
There were several missed calls, but Penney had no time to give them attention.
She sneakily sent Jenkins a message, pretending to be Yvonne.
"Mr. Quartley, your fans are bad-mouthing me on the internet. I feel so upset."
Of course, Yvonne eventually found out about the message.
She stared at the text, wide-eyed in shock.
This was...so cheesy! And Jenkins didn't even reply to her.
Yvonne had already expected this. Jenkins was an iceberg. He definitely wouldn't reply to such a meaningless message like that.
Jenkins's phone vibrated in his pocket.
He pulled out his phone and saw Yvonne's text.
His eyes flickered.
Pointing at Zeager beside him, he ordered, "Go check on what's going on with Yvonne."
Of course, Zeager already knew what happened.
Although Jenkins was a mogul in the entertainment industry, he seldom paid attention to the news on the internet. But Zeager did.
Although Zeager had known about it all along, he did not say a thing about it.
He knew Jenkins was a cold person, and he didn't like to listen to gossip.
It would be better for him to keep to himself when Jenkins didn't ask him to share. Otherwise, he would only make his boss unhappy.
Since Jenkins had asked about Yvonne's matters, Zeager told him truthfully.
Jenkins was silent for a moment before he spoke.
Then, he instructed Zeager to carry out a few tasks..
As he listened, Zeager's eyes flashed with new astonishment. He looked like he was meeting Jenkins for the first time.
He didn't know that Jenkins would care so much about Yvonne and that he was willing to do these things for her.
As everyone else, Zeager had initially thought that
she was only Jenkins's plaything.
While Yvonne was scrolling through her phone, she noticed Natalie's missed calls.
It was from an hour ago.
Yvonne looked at the time. It was already midnight at Natalie's place.
She knew Natalie well. Natalie must have had something important to tell her if she called her at this hour. She was probably not asleep yet.
Yvonne immediately called her back.
As expected, Natalie picked up instantly.
"Yvonne! Finally, you answered the phone." Natalie did not sound sleepy at all.
"What's the matter, girl?"
Natalie hesitated for a moment before she told Yvonne everything.
She had talked so fast, and Yvonne didn't even have the chance to interrupt her. Natalie must have kept this bottled up for too long. Now that she could finally talk about it, it was like water rushing out of an opened dam.
When she finally finished sharing, she sighed loudly. "Yvonne, do you think I should be honest with Mr. Whitlock and tell him that that was not my first time? I don't deserve his kindness, but I really don't know how to tell him. This is too hard."
Then, silence.
Yvonne's mouth formed an 'o' shape.
She would never think that Natalie would tell her this.
Natalie and Tobias's love life was like a television drama. Their relationship was all ups and downs -filled with challenges and misunderstandings.
Plus, Natalie's first time was with Tobias!
Yvonne couldn't hold herself back anymore. She really couldn't bear to see her best friend so upset. Not to mention, this entire thing was driving her nuts.
If she were to hide the truth any longer, she would suffocate to death.
Natalie and Tobias would probably hate each other as the misunderstanding snowballed.
"Natalie, you really don't remember who you slept with for the first time?" Yvonne asked.
"I don't remember anything at all. My head hurts every time I think about it." There was a hint of confusion in Natalie's voice.
Yvonne took a deep breath and asked, "Then who do you think it was?"
Natalie's breathing grew more rapid.
"I think...I think it could be Remington. I visited his grandfather before, so I think we must have had a very intimate relationship."
Yvonne fought the urge to yell at Natalie.
"Have you ever asked Remington?"
