Chapter 171 (1): You’ll Be Our Ambassador
Facing Auston’s threat, Wayne remained unfazed. He was only curious about who or what sold him out. Was it the hotel’s registration, or did a member of his team tattle on him?
“What, can you not say anything after all the fun you had the past few days?” Auston scoffed.
Wayne said honestly, “There was more than one bedroom in the suite, and I wasn’t responsible for arranging the accommodation. I’ll say that while the secretary is a nice woman, Veronica is more than ten thousand times better. I didn’t lay a hand on her. Nothing happened.”
Auston didn’t buy that at all. How could nothing happen when a man and a woman shared a room? If Wayne was telling the truth, he would have to question Wayne’s ability to produce an heir.
“I looked into your secretary. She’s a clergywoman of the Church of Heavenly Father and a member of the White Glove Society. She had to have approached you for something.”
“I know.”
Wayne knew that very well. She wanted something alright—his body!
“Then why do you keep her around?”
“I can’t help it. As the successor of the Lando family, women from all walks of life throw themselves at me even when I do nothing. A clergywoman from the Church of Heavenly Father makes a good shield, given her impressive background.”
Wayne made up an excuse on the fly with a deadpan look. “To tell you the truth, I learned that from you.”
“What does that have to do with me?” Auston refused to be lumped together with Wayne, or Wayne would have blackmail material on him rather than the other way around.
“It’s widely believed that Megan is your lover and secretary, and you never deny it.”
