Chapter 190 A Common Enemy.
Standing in front of his office mirror, Gabriel adjusted the rumples on his suit, getting ready for the press conference that he had carefully planned for, for the past three days.
The sound of Billy gently knocking on the office door had his head snapping away from his reflection. "Come in." He called.
The door opened and said assistant stepped in, holding in his hand, the speech that Gabriel was meant to give today.
"Everything’s ready, Sir." He informed while handing Gabriel the folder. The male accepted it, subtly thanking him, yet Billy showed no sign of leaving.
"Is there something else you want to say?" Gabriel asked, eyeing the younger male from the side of his eyes.
Billy hesitated. He shouldn’t have, seeing as what he wanted to say was for Gabriel’s good. He had known the man for close to six years and watching him carry on with his foolish antique up until now, worried him.
"I know I may be overstepping my boundaries when I say this sir, but I must remind you, there is no urgent need for you to give a speech linking to Ms. Romero. After all, this conference is strictly for the company’s performance." He added after receiving a creased brow from his boss. "And then again, The public opinion of Ms. Romero has already drastically changed following the release of the news of her rather ’generous’ compensation and the article never really mentioned anything concerning you so the public doesn’t know it’s you, that was in that room."
Gabriel listened to him silently, a contemplating look on his face. He knew exactly what Billy was trying to say and although he had a point, it wasn’t enough.
Perhaps this was his way to compensating Leonica for the trouble that video had caused her, because he remembered clearly that that whole night had happened because he was careless around Angelina.
So mixing a little bit of praise worthy speech for Leonica into the conference meeting he was holding for his stocks, seemed like the right thing to do.
Maybe then Leonica would consider looking his way?
