Unmasking the Heiress (Evangeline and Walte) novel Chapter 449

Chapter 449 

“So, you decided to throw a tantrum and smash the cup?” Walter, piecing together the scene he stumbled upon earlier, cut Minnie off mid–sentence. 

“No way!” 

Minnie was close to tears, her voice quivering. Walter’s accusation stung, and even if she had done it on purpose, she could not own up to that. 

“It was a clumsy mistake, the cup just slipped.” As she spoke, Minnie’s tears started to fall, and she hurriedly fessed up to Walter. 

“Walter, please don’t be mad. It’s all on me. I’m big enough to know better, yet I can’t even hold onto a cup. Not only did I break it, but I also woke you up… 

Minnie, already a picture of innocence, put on her most woeful face, which was usually enough to melt anyone’s heart. 

However, in the CEO’s office, only Walter and David were present, and they were no strangers to Minnie’s sob stories. Instead of feeling sympathy, they were almost tempted to push her further, just to see a more dramatic display of tears. It was a sight to behold. 

Walter felt a twinge of guilt for even thinking that way. Minnie was a woman, after all, and it was not right to want to see her distressed. 

“Okay, okay, it’s just a cup, nothing priceless. I’m not that uptight, am I?” 

His eyebrows, sharp as blades, lifted, and he fixed his eyes on David. 

Catching the cue, David quickly backed him up, “Indeed, Mr. Walter Gordon isn’t the type to sweat the small stuff. And yeah, I might’ve been a bit out of line stopping Ms. Kast at the door, even if it was my job. So, how about this, Mr. Walter Gordon? I’ll cover the cost of the broken cup. If I pay full price, Ms. Kast won’t feel so bad, and it’ll remind me to check my attitude at work.” 

Walter gave a nod of approval. 

Out of all his assistants, only David had stuck around for more than a decade. David definitely had a few. tricks up his sleeve. 

Walter’s approving gaze turned frosty as it landed on Minnie. Keeping his cool, he asked, “Are we good with this solution, or do you have any issues with it?” 

Minnie was already scared stiff from ticking off Walter, and since there was a way out, she was not about to cause more trouble. “Nope, no issues here. I’m just glad you’re not mad anymore, Walter,” she said, trying to sound sweet and compliant. 

Walter thought to himself, why should he be mad? He was not the one footing the bill or taking the heat. 

However, Minnie was trying so hard to be good that he would be a buzzkill if he did not play along. “I’m not mad. Just make sure you’re not upset, and we’re cool,” he said, his voice finally softening, though it was clear he was not thrilled about it. There were still some things about Minnie that needed looking into, and he could not drop his caring–guy act just yet.. 

Right then, the janitor, decked out in thick gloves, made her way upstairs, getting right to work cleaning up
