Facade of Love (Yvette Scott and Idris Young) novel Chapter 331

Chapter 331 Girlfriend? 

“What did I do?” I chuckled angrily. “Was helping you a mistake?” 

He lowered his gaze slightly and said, “So you think I’m very easy? Can just any woman take advantage of me?” 

??? 

Take advantage? Of who? 

“Idris, when did I…?” 

“You kissed me, then touched me!” 

I… 

If I had known sooner, I would not have touched him even if he was burning to death. 

Looking at the still half–full bowl of pasta, I was still hungry. I did not want to waste time arguing with him and said, “Idris, if you want to pin this on me, dream on.” Then I pointed at the pasta in front of him and continued, “If you don’t want to eat, then don’t. Don’t ruin my meal,” 

This time, he got the message to stay silent and calmly watched me eat. 

After filling my stomach, I felt much better. I initially thought he would not eat, but to my surprise, he finished the food I placed in front of him, not leaving a single strand of pasta behind. 

Not wanting to criticize him, I said, “I have something to do this afternoon, so I’m leaving.” When he heard I was leaving, his expression changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice, “My illness hasn’t completely subsided. Is it appropriate for you to leave?” 

I chuckled. “Why wouldn’t it be appropriate? Your fever has gone down, so you won’t die now. 

Not wanting to waste any more time talking to him, I left the study and departed from Clearwater Residence. 

Scott Corporation had a lot of things going on, and it was already on shaky ground. Moreover, with what happened to me recently and Maxwell going to Lorrell, we had left Uncle Marcus to handle everything alone. There was undoubtedly a lot of work to be done upon our return. 

I hurriedly arrived at the Scott Corporation building. I had taken Idris‘ car and did not stop at the underground parking lot. Instead, I drove it straight to the front of the office building. Upon exiting the car, I noticed Maxwell’s car. 

It was not strange for his car to be here, but what surprised me was that it was not Maxwell driving it. There was a woman at the wheel. Even though she was dressed warmly due to the cold weather, her beauty could not be concealed. She drove away as I watched. 

When did Maxwell get to know this woman so intimately that he would lend her his car? 

Curious, I entered the Scott Corporation building and went to Maxwell’s office first. I heard movement inside, and the man working busily at the desk looked up as I entered. Upon seeing

me, the attractive man raised an eyebrow and said, “Yo, you got here pretty late. You seem to be pretty comfortable with being the boss around here, huh?” 

It was almost time to get off work, so he was not wrong. I did not argue and pulled a chair to sit across from him, asking, “Do you have a girlfriend?” 

He furrowed his brow and looked at me in confusion. “Who told you that? And why don’t I know about this so–called girlfriend I have?” 

No girlfriend? 

I raised an eyebrow and leaned closer to him, saying, “No girlfriend, huh? Then, is there someone you like?” 

Under my persistent gaze, his excessively handsome face actually blushed slightly, and he frowned while looking at me. “No.” 

Clearly, that was not an honest answer. 

I smiled and continued, “Let me guess. Is it Zoe?” 

He furrowed his brow. It was obviously not her, but he still maintained an indifferent expression. “Yvette, have you finished your work? Are you that free to be gossiping about other people’s private lives?” 

Ignoring his words, I pretended to think and said, “Not Zoe? Then who? Maxwell, you’re quite secretive. You have someone you like, but you haven’t told us. When I go back tonight, I’ll ask my mom. If you don’t tell me, I’ll make her pester you.” 

He knew best how annoying my mother could be. He looked at me with a bitter face and said, It’s not like that. Where did you get the idea that I have someone I like? I’ve only been back for a few days. Do you think I would find someone I like that quickly?” 

That was a fair point. I hesitated for a few seconds and then asked, “Who did you lend your car to?” 

His hand twitched, and he squinted at me, saying, “Just because of that, you think I have a girlfriend?”
