Chapter 77 The Mistress Agreement Made Public
Along with the constant cameras and microphones in front of her, Andrea was asked question and after question.
Because the place she was standing at was rather remote, it would take a while for the security of KJ Group to arrive to help them. So very quickly Andrea and Christina were forced into a corner.
"Miss Anderson, why are you not saying anything? Is it because you feel so ashamed and blame yourself that you aren't saying anything?" A female reporter directly placed the microphone in front of Andrea's face asked sharply.
Only then did Andrea finally react, so she first took off her coat and put it over Christina's head, and then she coldly looked at the female reporter and said, "Ashamed of myself? Why would you think something like that?"
The female reporter was taken aback by the look in Andrea's eyes and didn't expect that Andrea would dare respond to her so she said, "You have become someone's mistress and yet you don't feel ashamed by this? So could it be that you feel honoured by this then?" Andrea responded, "Do you even know what happened? You just stand here and speak nonsense about me being some mistress, where is your evidence?"
The female reported retorted back, "Wasn't that mistress agreement written clearly enough? I thought Miss Anderson..."
"What are you all doing?" She hadn't finished speaking when behind her a both very threatening and cold voice interrupted her.
Everyone turned their heads to see who it was.
OMG, Baron? Why was he here!
The reporters all glanced at each other and could all see this opportunity for more gossip in each other's eyes.
The two protagonists of this story were together here, what a shocking surprise for them.
So everyone turned their attentions towards Baron and started to take many photographs of him.
The female reporter who had originally been questioning Andrea, when she saw him she also shifted her target of interest. So she looked at Baron and asked, "Mr Howard, please could you confirm whether the mistress agreement you signed with Miss Anderson is true or not?"
After she finished speaking, she shot a rather scornful look at Andrea. She thought she was going to make Andrea regret denying this question.
"Mistress Agreement? What is this?" However the way things were going were not what the female reporter had imagined, since Baron also denied this question.
"I mean, that agreement that you signed with Miss Anderson..." The female reporter was a little embarrassed.
Baron narrowed his eyes at her and said, "I'm really not clear on what mistress agreement you are speaking of, however you can expect to receive a letter from my lawyer."
"On what basis?" The female reporter couldn't help but raise her voice.
Baron replied, "On the basis of you slandering the reputation of my company."
After he said this he looked around at everyone, "The pictures that you all just took, would you like me to delete them for you or will you delete them yourselves?"
These reporters within society have experienced both high moments and low moments in their career for many years now, however faced with the situation they were in now felt it was best to just give in and force a smile, "We'll delete them ourselves." After all although gossip was important, losing your job for the sake of gossip would definitely not be worth it.
Just now they had all been very excited, however were put down again by what Baron said.
Baron pursued his lips, and walked over to Andrea and embraced her, "Did you get hurt?"
Andrea shook her head, "I'm fine." She then without thinking about it wanted to avoid Baron's hand.
Baron raised his eyebrows and tightened his grip. Andrea who had just been struggling to get away was immediately embraced tighter by Baron. Andrea was speechless.
Christina poked her head out from under the clothes and first looked at Andrea and then at Baron and said, "Since Baron is here, I'll leave you now." After she said this, without waiting for Andrea to say anything she just quickly left the scene.
As she walked into the office she turned her head and thought to herself, to be honest it really did seem that Baron had some feelings towards Andrea. After Christina had left, Baron pulled at Andrea to also leave with him.
"Andrea, you are just a mistress to him..." The more the female reporter looked at Andrea the angrier she became, so she then began to shout and curse at Andrea.
However before she could finish speaking, her mouth was covered by one of her seniors who worked at the same magazine.
"Are you crazy? Are you trying to challenge Baron just because you think our business isn't doing so well?" The senior employee warned her. After he said this he smiled and took a step towards Baron and said, "Mr Howard, this woman is new here, so she doesn't understand the rules and regulations we must adhere to. When we get back I will report her to our chief editor and he can sort her out."
And with that this early morning farce ended here.
Andrea was taken back to the villa by Baron again. She sat on the sofa holding a pillow and didn't say anything.
Baron lowered his head and looked at her, "Who do you think leaked our agreement?"
Andrea replied, "Wasn't it you? Only you had access to this agreement!"
Baron was extremely furious because of what just happened but now Andrea's words made him even angrier, "Andrea, do you really think that I would have published that document? Are you crazy? Leaking that document would harm me, so why would I do that. And if I published it then why would I come and save you again!"
After she heard him speak, she then also thought that it didn't make sense for Baron to do this.
At the time when she heard about the mistress agreement, her first reaction was to assume that Baron had published it because only Baron and she knew about it. For this reason, because at the time she was both so angry and sad, she didn't have much time to really think about who really could have leaked this document.
So if what Baron said was true and that publishing it would only harm him and perhaps even damage the image of the KJ group, then it definitely couldn't be him.
Then who was it? Andrea thought.
Very soon someone appeared in her mind, someone who always wore an artificial smile and someone who had just sent her an email before. "Matthew? Could it be Matthew?" Andrea dropped the pillow and stood up, "But why would he publish this? What good would it be for him?"
Baron saw Andrea's reaction and sneered, "Didn't someone have close contact with him before? So how come you don't know why he would do something like this?" Andrea was silent.
She sat down again and began to think about all of the conversations she had with him in the past and the ways that he would express himself.
A thought suddenly appeared in her mind and then flew out again.
"To make me misunderstand you so I will leave you." Andrea confidently said.
As she thought about this, in the past she never understood why Matthew was so willing to help her look into the mistress agreement, and help her analyse everything. Although she knew that this person was not a kind person, however she could not understand how he would have had any benefit from doing this.
Jumping back to before, after that first feeling of being eager to leave Baron, she then saw what the problem was more clearly.
"However why does he want to make me leave you? What would he get out of this?"
"Because you are mine."
Andrea said nothing.
For no reason she started to feel that the things she had done and the way she had handled things recently were just like how an idiot would have done things.
Baron continued to speak, "To be honest when I saw that investigation into the agreement document in your mailbox, I made some assumptions about a few things. On the one hand I was very angry at the time but on the other hand I wanted to see what the people behind the scenes would do so that's why I let you go."]
