Chapter 31
Kate’s eyes widened, "What did he tell you?!"
Mai flinched when Kate raised her voice. She instinctively scooted away from Kate until she reached the edge of the seat.
"W—Well, Mr. Grant told me that you’re pregnant with his child, and that... your relationship with him has been going on for a while before he even entered the company as CEO, and it’s going strong, he said that you even plan to live together."
"That piece of—" Kate shut her mouth before she said something vile. She was pregnant right now, and she didn’t want her baby to hear vile words.
She took a deep breath and stared at Mai, who had already hunched her back and lowered her head,
"Okay, first of all, that’s just not true. I don’t have a relationship with him and we’re definitely NOT going to live together, understand?"
"Um, it’s okay, Ma’am," Mai said as she nodded her head. "Mr. Grant told me to keep it a secret because you’re a very professional lady, and you don’t want your relationship with him to disturb your work."
"That’s not—ugh, okay, whatever," Kate rolled her eyes. That bastard seriously had the nerve to give false information to Mai. "Just don’t say anything to anyone about this, okay? I don’t want this to affect our work," Kate said as she gave up on explaining the situation to Mai.
It seemed that Mai trusted Henry more than Kate for whatever reason. So Kate couldn’t do anything other than letting her go.
Mai nodded, "T—Then, please excuse me, Ma’am. I have to talk to the HR department since Mr. Grant already changed my job from editor to his secretary."
"Yeah, you can go now."
