Seeing that I was unfazed and had openly confronted them, Leo scowled. “Julie, you should know that Evelyn and I have an innocent and proper relationship. If you have any complaints about it, just blame me directly. Don’t make things difficult for her.”
“After all, she is a young woman with her reputation to consider. How is she supposed to face others after being falsely accused?”
Hearing his words, I couldn’t help but laugh bitterly. Now he was concerned about Evelyn’s reputation? Where was this concern before he acted like that before?
In fact, Leo had never openly acknowledged our relationship at work. He said it would “cause problems.” He even insisted that I address him respectfully as “Mr. Lombard,” just like any other employee.
Leo did not care about all these things when it came to Evelyn. Not only did he often give her luxury gifts in front of the entire staff, he even made special arrangements for her. He set up a desk in the CEO's office for her and justified his decision by saying that it would make Evelyn's work easier to do.
