That day, she had mentioned it to Zoey on a whim, asking if she could put in a word with her childhood friend to help her get into Keywood Group.
Unexpectedly, Zoey had agreed very easily.
She even told her that her childhood friend always listened to her and would never refuse her anything.
She hadn’t expected that just two days later, she would receive an acceptance notice from Keywood Group.
She was even assigned to the CEO’s office.
Wouldn’t that give her the chance to see the CEO every day?
She’d only been able to see his face in business magazines before. When she saw him in person this morning, discovering he was even better-looking than in the magazines, had struck her right in the heart.
“Mr. Keywood, please give me another chance. I really didn’t mean it just now. I was just worried you got burned.”
She cried pitifully.
Maisie said nothing, just stood aside, watching the drama unfold.
Well, she cries very prettily.
But you can’t perform for a blind audience.
Maisie sneaked another glance at her stone-faced CEO and sighed inwardly.
It would be even better if she had some popcorn.
“Get her out of here now!”
Alfred growled impatiently.
The woman cried even harder.
She’d lost all the composure she’d managed before.
She was crying loudly.

“Mr. Keywood, please give me a chance.”
Finn was already scared out of his wits. He had backed the wrong horse and brought in an idiot who angered the CEO on her first day of work.
She still wanted another chance?
He might not even keep his position as HR director.
“Hurry up and leave. Stop making a fool of yourself here.”
Angry and afraid, Finn didn’t dare let this woman stay another second.
He quickly grabbed her arm and dragged her out.
Alfred sat back in his office chair and looked at Maisie, who hadn’t left yet, and asked coldly, “What exactly happened?”
Maisie knew what Alfred wanted to ask and quickly explained what had happened when Zoey came to Keywood Group and was mistaken for the CEO’s wife.
She emphasized that Zoey had never denied it when people called her the CEO’s wife, which caused the misunderstanding among most of the company’s employees.
This led Finn to hiring her through connections, afraid of offending who he thought was the CEO’s wife.
By the time Maisie finished, Alfred’s face had turned completely livid.
“What else?”
Alfred remembered what Caleb had said this morning.
Something about Nella being cursed by Zoey’s fans for breaking up his childhood sweetheart romance with Zoey.
What was all that about?
“Uh…”
Maisie hesitated.
Alfred had never gone online to look, had he? That made sense. A busy person like the CEO probably didn’t even have those entertainment apps on his phone, right?
No wonder Zoey gained a million followers using the CEO’s name, and the CEO didn’t make a sound.
How could that not cause misunderstandings?
Turns out the CEO didn’t give his approval-he simply didn’t know about it. Wow.
Wow.
Maisie shook her head.
“Speak.”
Alfred said impatiently.
Maisie jumped in fright.
Then she slowly began. “Because everyone thought Ms. Mack was your wife, people started cursing Dr. Milo online, calling her a homewrecker who deliberately tried to break you and Ms. Mack up, saying she was a shameless homewrecker with no medical ethics, and things like that…”
