Chapter 389
Minnie had been super careful. Walter could not have figured it out!
“What are you talking about? I have no idea…”
Pretending to be clueless was Minnie’s go–to move.
However, this time, Minnie was backed into a corner with nowhere to turn, forced to stick to her guns no matter what came her way.
“You really don’t know?” Walter asked, a playful smirk on his face as he leaned on one hand and with the other, pulled open a drawer in his study. He fished out a document and flung it down in front of Minnie
“That’s a pretty penny on the black market, right?”
His tone was so laid–back. Even the smile tugging at his lips seemed so genuine, as if he were not the one who had been drugged.
“Should I be thanking you for splurging on me? You actually went all out and bought this pricey stuff for me?”
Walter was done beating around the bush with her. It was just a waste of time.
No matter who she was behind the scenes, he was eager to get that mess sorted out and win back the
mother of his child!
Minnie’s eyes scanned the report, her mind reeling. She could not believe that Walter had seen right through her meticulous plan!
With Walter’s knowing look, Minnie realized that her usual act would not cut it. Coming clean might just give her a sliver of hope with Walter.
“Walter, I did all this… Isn’t it because I’m just too into you?
“You have no idea how tough it was, being pushed around in the secretarial pool and not being able to see you. I grabbed the first chance I got.”
Walter cut her off without a second thought, “Stop saying you like me all the time. You make it sound so noble, but what’s the truth? You just want to be Mrs. Gordon of the Gordon family.”
Walter had seen his fair share of women trying to lure him to bed, but Minnie was by far the most revolting.
He was so fed up that he just wanted her gone for good, out of his life and out of his sight!
Before Minnie could even open her mouth, Walter told her to leave..
“Take your report and leave, for Alex’s sake. And don’t show your face around me again–that’s my last piece of advice to you.”
Tears clung to Minnie’s lashes as she looked at his unyielding face, her pleas stuck in her throat.
“Alright, I’ll leave.”
Taking a deep breath, Minnie stood tall in front of Walter, meeting his eyes.
