Chapter 121 He Was Not A Good Man

Vice Mr. Hughes didn’t know many women personally, but there were countless women who knew him. He was known for his notorious reputation after all, having overshadowed many celebrities and stars in the city.

Therefore, in the face of these women, Vice Mr. Hughes was quite calm to accept the fact as it was. He was afraid that he would fall into a situation where another woman would secretly fall in love with him, and he wouldn’t be able to leave it easily.

Unexpectedly for him, Macy knew Gabby. If it came down to it, would she rival against Gabby for his love?

Macy wasn’t surprised by Lawrence’s response. After all, she was just an intern in the Hughes Group branch she worked at, so it was expected that he wasn’t familiar with her person. But as she knew him, she knew it was protocol to acknowledge him by showing him respect when he came in, as was customary. She quickly stood up, stepped out from behind her chair and bowed low to Lawrence.

“Good afternoon, Vice Mr. Hughes.”

He glanced at Macy with a flicker of panic as he accepted the serious and professional greeting

He wondered whether she was trying to attract his attention in some special way. Then she was a cunning and shrewd woman.

Vice Mr. Hughes, I am an intern in the advertising department at the Hughes Group in the high-tech zone. I joined the company last month. My name is Macy. Do you remember … I was … I was blackmailed on my third day here, but you helped me. Do you have any memory of this? Even if you don’t, I would like to bestow my appreciation to you! Thank you for that, Vice Mr. Hughes.” Noticing the

seriousness of her words, Lawrence realized she was being genuine and did not, in fact, seem to have any intentions of seducing him. He felt a pang of disappointment was he that unattractive? Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

‘Damn it! Doesn’t she like my style? She’s just like Gabrielle.”

Both the friends, this intern and Gabrielle seemed to share the same sentiment towards him. They were very similar: their language. facial expressions, tone and manner of speaking there was no trace of admiration towards him at all.

Lawrence had always been a “playboy”.

popular for his ways around women. He received many confessions of love and admiration from both men and women towards him and he was very used to it. However, now, he felt uncharacteristically frustrated and for the second time he doubted his own charm and appeal.

“Oh, it’s been quite some time since that incident last month. I’m afraid I have forgotten what happened. Besides, you will always receive help from me here at Hughes Group as an employee, and it is my job as your boss. You don’t have to be overly thankful.” The smile on Lawrence’s face faltered as he seriously delivered his response.

He reminded himself to be professional; not only was this woman a friend of Gabrielle’s, but she was also an intern at Hughes Group. and his own words reminded him that he was her superior

He had to be careful or his reputation would not be spared.

“Vice Mr. Hughes, you are really a good man,

Macy praised Lawrence.

Lawrence couldn’t help but blush at the compliments.

Gabrielle always looked down on him and berated him: could it be that Macy hadn’t yet

heard the rumor about Lawrence because of her lack of experience and familiarity among these people?

Lawrence was a good man?

Men all over the world were good people, but Lawrence was not.

Men who chased girls and played women everywhere were not good people, and this kind of game between men and women that Lawrence loved playing, was a cheap game, equivalent to the dating version of fast-food.

There was no harm in being with people you liked, or being separated from people you didn’t. However, Lawrence was on another level. He even paid money to women for their company, but that always ended up with a final, eventual good-bye!

“Thank you, I appreciate it.” It was rare for Lawrence to be so embarrassed.

It was easy for women to blame him for his actions, especially if they had been together only for a short time. Even the women who had received payment from him would take the cash and then ironically yell at him at the end of it.

The speed with which he “hunted” these women was what made them hate him. He had barely broken up with some of them

before he began to look for the next one, so it WAS natural that this reputation brought about these sentiments among them

“Vice Mr. Hughes, you are quite modern and contemporary. I was sutprised to hear you are a friend of Gabrielle’a. We were classmates in college.” Macy said to him. She sounded warm, now.

Gabrielle had known Macy had no idea about Lawrence and the incidents surrounding him.

How could Macy have known? She was not involved in the upper class echelons of society that the rest of them frequented around. Even Gabrielle’s knowledge of Lawrence wis because of what Austin had told her, based on his own experiences with him. Lawrence was known among all the upper-class people for his promiscuous nature. Everyone knew he had slept with many females, including anchorwomen, Internet celebrities, socialites, small-time and big-time stars, models and basically, any attractive woman he set his eyes on and was willing to play these games with him.

When he had a crush on a Woman, he wouldn’t let her go too easily. That was why Austin had advised Gabrielle to stay away from the likes of Lawrence.

At first, Gabrielle thought that Lawrence was just interested in her for a short time and

eventually, he would stop pestering her.

However, Lawrence’s persistence surprised her. He just wauldn’t give up.

They hadn’t seen each other in more than a month, but he was still taken up by her. Gabrielle was mindful when going out by checking her calendar to make sure she wouldn’t bump into him anywhere.

She wanted to directly tell Lawrence that she was married to Westley, the most evil man in town. Lawrence would not believe it, though, even if she produced her marriage certificate to him.

So she let it be. It wasn’t his business after all, more so if he didn’t believe it.

“Since you are classmates, Macy, do you know what happened to Gabby at the school? You can tell me.” Lawrence took the opportunity to feed his curiosity.

This was his best bet to find out what happened to Gabrielle, through Gabrielle’s classmate Macy, especially when his own methods of sending people and investigators

to dig up information had failed.

“Yes, of course…”

“Macy, ignore him. Order the dishes first,” Gabrielle quickly interrupted Macy before she

could say anything.

Nacy wasn’t aware of what kind of man Lawrence was, so she would naively tell him all about Gabrielle. She deemed him as a hero, someone who had helped her. Gabrielle had to find an opportunity to convey what kind of person Lawrence was to Macy.

She became worried and anxious. Macy was young, an innocent woman who had just finished her college studies to enter society and make her mark as a professional. She had not yet been betrayed or let down by the vile actions of others around her. It was obvious she would worship Lawrence as this accomplished, helpful man.

She felt a chill when she thought of the harm this could potentially cause, and felt an instinct to help her friend.

She must have a chance to communicate with Macy. She couldn’t let her go astray like this.

“Let Vice Mr. Hughes do it. He is the boss, after all, and it’s only respectful that he orders the dishes,” Macy said. She didn’t mean to flatter him. She just respected him

as a boss.

Lawrence felt like he was being treated like an old man for the first time in his life. Respect? Only a man in his seventies

deserved this traditional “respect”.

“Don‘t worry about me. We are all friends of Gabby today. We are on equal footing. It’s my treat. You two can order whatever you like.” Lawrence carelessly waved his hand, boasting his lavish background and superfluous attitude. +
