Chapter 135
The other two women nodded.
“I heard that Olivia has bribed him with sex day and night in exchange for higher social status,” the woman said in a scandalous tone. “My friend Kathy told me that she has it on good authority that Alexander’s been late to work on numerous occasions because he’s too busy rolling around the sheets with her.”
The other two women gasped, and they immediately began to gossip about me again.
This untrue rumor made my blood boil, but–to my complete shock- Rose giggled to the side of me.
I wanted to yell at those three gossiping women, but I managed to control my temper.
“Are you and Alexander going to disappear into the bathroom for a quickie tonight?” Rose teased me, trying to lighten the mood.
I rolled my eyes. “Our relationship is nothing but professional,” I replied dryly.
“Sure it is,” Rose said playfully.
I turned away from her and looked out at the bright city lights.
I had no idea that ever since I became Alexander’s secretary, everyone thought that I only had the position because I was sleeping with him.
No one seemed to believe me that our relationship was innocent. Not even my friends.

My hands tightened on the railing as I stared down at the three women who continued to gossip about Alexander and me. Annoyance washed over me like a tidal wave, and I wanted to go
down there and give the ladies a piece of my mind.
“Come on, girl,” Rose said and tugged my arm to lead me away from the woman’s voices. “You don’t have to listen to this nonsense.”
We went back into the party, and whispers kept following me wherever I went.
“Ignore them,” Rose muttered under her breath.
But that was hard when the large room seemed to fill with gossip about me. The rumors kept getting more extreme by the second. People seemed to think that I was trying to trap Alexander by becoming pregnant with his baby. Or they thought that part of my job duties involved me being on my knees for the majority of the work day.

“Are there any other important businessmen in attendance tonight?” I
asked Rose.
She shook her head no. “Alexander is the most important one.”
I crossed my arms as I thought about that. Hmm, that must mean that there was another VIP guest here who couldn’t be seen in public that Alexander was in a meeting with. That person was probably the reason why Alexander wanted to attend tonight. My curiosity went into hyperdrive as I wondered why Alexander had to go through Felipe to meet with that person.
Rose and I walked around the party for a while, and I tried to network, but no one would take me seriously because they thought I was just Alexander’s plaything. My stomach grumbled, but I didn’t like any of the appetizers they offered.
“This party’s boring,” Rose said as we stood in the corner.
“It is,” I agreed. “When we came in, I saw a little restaurant in the hotel. Do you want to grab a bite to eat there? Who knows how much longer Alexander will be.”
“That sounds a lot better than this,” Rose said and gestured around the
room.
