“No,” he answered relatively simply as he leaned on the back of his chair.
Troy rubbed his brow after turning off his computer before he stood up, ready to go, and glanced at the woman not so far away
from him.
“Let’s go,” he uttered, and it was heard in the quietness of his office.
It did not take long before they arrived home, and the moment they stepped inside, everything was prepared. In the comfortable
dining area, the maids had already prepared the dinner. After a simple dinner, Troy went back to his study to work overtime. On
the other hand, Imogen. graced the living room to watch some drama. She poured herself a glass of warm water to consume the
medicine she got inside the cabinet. Her throat felt the tablet running down when she took it with warm water.
“Why are you drinking medicine? Is there something wrong? Are you sick?” Troy, who came from behind, suddenly said.
It was because of his sudden appearance that Imogen’s eyes widened, and she felt a thump in her heart. She turned to look at
the man she saw standing a few meters away.
“It’s fine. My stomach is acting up these days, but I can manage,” she calmly replied.
“Did v
you have it checked?” He walked closer to pour some water for himself after asking. The man did not doubt anything, mainly
Imogen’s excuse at the dining table that day. “Yes, I have,” Imogen replied, her breathing hitched.
“That’s good,” he muttered while nodding his head. “But make sure to take care of yourself more in the future.”
Hearing those caring words made her feel a lump in her throat, yet all she did was nod coldly and embrace the sadness
enveloping her heart.
The following day, the constant ringing of Imogen’s phone woke her up.
It was hard to open her hazy eyes in the morning, but she did so and touched her phone on the bedside table. When she
glanced at the screen, she saw someone calling and quickly answered.
“Hello,” she uttered using her groggy voice.
“Director! Something bad happened. Please look on your Instagram; it’s trending everywhere!” The anxious voice of her
assistant was heard.
Her brows furrowed, so she asked quickly, “What’s wrong?”
Imogen opened her tablet without hesitation and went to the social media site. There she found news articles all over the
platforms, one after another.
“Mr. Marshall and Miss Page have been photographed together.”
As soon as the assistant finished speaking, Imogen had already clicked in and flipped through it. The silence was heard for a
while as Imogen read the article online. Because of that, her assistant got worried and whispered, “Please tell me what to do,
Director.”
“Wait for me to go to the company. Just contact Sarah’s team and don’t respond to any of the reporters,” she ordered discreetly.
Her eyes were still on her tablet, gazing at the pictures on the trending lists. It showed them going in and out of the restaurant
together. Although, there was some sneaky peek information gathered

there.
Seeing that, she knew they could release photos of the two sides of the restaurant to stir up enthusiasm.
“I see,” she whispered.
The assistant was about to hang up when Imogen stopped him again. “Listen, you have yesterday’s group photo in your hand,
right? Pick a photo of him and Miss Page, ensure they don’t look so close together, and prepare it for me.”
“Understood, Director,” he replied as soon as he heard what she wanted.
Imogen hung up afterwards and prepared herself.
When she arrived at the company, her assistant greeted her, nervous and worried, “Director.”
“Are you done contacting Sarah’s team? What did they say?” Imogen asked as she walked into the elevator.
After seconds, the assistant hesitated but opened his mouth, “Mr. Marshall has already entrusted this matter to the public
relations department.”
Hearing that, Imogen tightly pursed her lips without speaking.
The elevator arrived at the corresponding floor, and Imogen emerged from the elevator and met Charlene head–on.
Just as she saw Imogen, Charlene’s face lit up with a proud smile and a strange expression. “Oh, it’s our Director! Did you see
the news about Mr. Marshall and Miss Page? Someone’s doing her best to seduce him, but it seems Mr. Marshall’s not affected.
I wouldn’t have the face to stay at Marshall Group of Companies if I were you. It’s embarrassing.”
Those words made Imogen’s assistant’s face so red in rage, but Imogen was calm as ever. She pretended that she heard
nothing and walked past the woman.
Annoyed at her nonchalance, Charlene called her out again, “Are you even aware that he is to make me handle this issue?”
Imogen paused her steps.

Seeing a reaction from her, Charlene smiled proudly and slowly walked up to Imogen. “You know what? He asked me to disclose
to the marketing accounts that he and Miss Page were once lovers. Do you know what this means?”
Upon hearing this, Imogen felt a chill all over her body. Her face paled, and she went to the office feeling restless.
She picked up her phone and reopened the trending list, and now the comments below have changed direction.
When a female star was related to a businessman, netizens naturally fantasized about being in the identical shoe. This was
particularly unfavorable for Sarah, who had just returned to New York for the development.
But now marketing accounts owners were posting blogs, revealing that Sarah Page and Troy were once in a romantic
relationship, and even showing their posts and photos in college. In the posts, they were known as the best couple on campus,
and in the images, they walked side by side, incomparably matched.
Now the two were reuniting and intended to continue their relationship.
Moreover, there were rumors earlier that the spokesperson for the Marshall Group of Companies

It seemed that netizens were feasting over the issues.
