Twins - The Unforeseen Legacy of My Ex's Uncle-in-Law novel Chapter 59

Althea chuckled, "Just a friendly heads up. I wouldn't want Mr. Taylor to be duped, that's all."

"If you're so keen on minding others' business, how about you look after your own affairs for a change?"

"Didn't you call me over to talk about the fair?"

The Taylor Group was brewing up a big bash, roping in a galaxy of stars. And Althea, being their poster girl from previous gigs, was sure to grace the event.

Enoch said, "The fair's in capable hands; I've not got the bandwidth for it right now. I called you in to chat about your new boyfriend."

At the mention of 'boyfriend', Althea's face dropped, guilt washing over her. "Mr. Taylor, how did you come to know?"

So he knew about her boyfriend!

Indeed, she's been seeing someone, a chap from the entertainment scene. They've sneaked around a fair bit.

She thought she had covered her tracks well!

Enoch said, "Our contract, if I recall correctly, explicitly states no romancing during its term. Seems to me, Althea, you've let that slip your mind."

A public affair for someone like Althea could stir a tempest.

He'd rather not have his company's image tarnished.

Althea replied, "I'll sort it out. I just need some time."

She was practical, knowing which between love and career weighed more.

Boyfriends come and go, but being the face of a brand? That's irreplaceable.

Hearing her out, Enoch said, "No need. Let's call it quits on the contract, and you needn't bother coming in anymore. I've no room for someone who lacks commitment."

Truth be told, he hadn't planned on firing her today. But her responses irked him inexplicably.

Althea, who arrived in high spirits, now couldn't believe her ears. "Mr. Taylor, please, one more chance. I truly realize my mistake."
