Chapter 141
“It’s me.”
Just as Leo was about to make up a story about work, someone behind him spoke up.
Paul was still standing there with his arms crossed. “I’m his boyfriend. Do you think I’m dead?”
As soon as he spoke, the expressions of the people present were exciting.
The male employees breathed a sigh of relief. “Oh, how could I have forgotten about Mr. Travis? Mr. Travis and Ms. Reed are just a couple. It’s not a big deal for them to live in the same tent.”
Wendy, on the other hand, was confused. She opened her mouth and looked at Megan, then at Patti. She wanted to say something, but in the end, she kept silent.
On the other hand, Megan let out a long sigh.
Paul walked up to her and smiled, “Why are you sighing? Didn’t I come back to save you?”
“I got you involved again,” said Megan apologetically. “Paul, I…”
“Well, don’t speak nonsense.”
“You don’t have to say anything. I’m resigning soon anyway. No matter what they say, I don’t care.”
“That won’t do.” Paul leaned over and whispered, “Last night, it was Leo, right?”
“Yes.”
“Did he bully you?”
“No, he just talked about his grandfather. Later, we quarreled, so he left.”
Paul heaved a sigh of relief. “Then I’m relieved. I was worried that you wouldn’t forget him.”
“It won’t happen again.” She shook her head firmly. “It won’t ever happen again.”
Paul smiled. “Then I’ll help you.”
She looked at him.

Paul said, “In that case, you have to tell them a man’s name today. Either you tell the truth – Leo, or admit it’s me. Do you prefer to be entangled with Leo, or do you want to say my name, your boyfriend?”
She knew in her heart that the current situation was the best.

As long as Paul stood up for her and let this matter go, the rumors would immediately subside, and she would no longer have anything to do with Leo.
In everyone’s eyes, she was herself, and Leo was him. Nothing would change.
She smiled bitterly in disappointment. “I owe you again.”
“It’s good that you know. You have to roast the fish you caught today.”
“Okay, no problem.”
As they spoke, Wendy and Patti walked over.
Wendy asked weakly, “Mr. Travis, was it you last night?”
“Of course, it’s me. Otherwise, who else could it be?”
“But…” Wendy wanted to say something but stopped on second thought. “I remember the man
seems a little wider and stronger than you.”
Paul didn’t panic at all. He smiled, “The lighting isn’t good at night, so there might be a deviation in vision. Moreover, those people said that if a strange man enters the tent, Megan will call for help
later.”
This logic was compelling.
Wendy was a little convinced. So many men were here, and they and Ms. Reed were colleagues. Mr. Mayor was, at most, a superior. She would call him if he rashly entered Ms. Reed’s tent.
She would keep quiet as long as her real boyfriend was there.
Wendy scratched her head and doubted her eyesight. “Am I seeing things?”
Patti said, “I guess you have been too nervous recently to become a regular worker. Since the truth
has come out, let’s go back.”
This sentence was like a way out. The crisis was solved perfectly, and everyone left one after
another.
Only Leo remained where he was.
He looked at Megan, but she didn’t notice his gaze. She kept talking to Paul.
Paul saw him. He smiled at Leo and waved his hand.
Leo left soon.
His posture was very natural and unrestrained, and he was furious.
He was wondering why Megan was so confident last night. He had already made a concession and could give her a child, but she still dared to go against him. It turned out that she was determined to
find the next home!
Get Boros
The phone rang again.
It was also Sasha’s agent.
