President's Substitute Wife novel Chapter 401

After dinner, Sean took me upstairs.

Although he wanted to have sex, I couldn’t concentrate. I was thinking about tomorrow’s press conference.

Sean also seemed to be aware of my absent mindedness. He didn’t force me. He just hugged me and asked me, “what’s the matter? Have you been upset lately?” He gave me a kiss, “don’t be afraid. Everything will be settled soon.”

At that time, I didn’t understand what he was talking about.

I just shrunk in his arms and nodded, “well, it will be solved soon.”

Later I learned that what he said was not the same as what I said.

I thought Sean would go to work the next morning as usual, but when I got up and dressed and put on light makeup and had breakfast in the dining room, I saw him still wearing a housecoat.

I looked at him and froze. “Don’t you go to work today?”

He nodded and said, “I want to be with you.”

I was sure I would be happy when he said that, but I wasn’t today.

I was going to a press conference today. I wanted to clarify for myself. Although this press conference had not been released on the Internet for the time being, once it started, it would be broadcast live and advertised, and naturally people would pay attention to it.

I had planned for several days. I couldn’t just give up!

He saw that I was dressed up, so he asked me, “are you going to the studio?”

I opened my mouth and hesitated and nodded, “yes, I have an appointment with Linda today. I’m going out in the morning.”

Just one morning!

If Sean blamed me when I got back, the press conference was over. He couldn’t do anything.

He stood at the corner of the stairs and looked at me. There was a little hesitation in his eyes. He didn’t speak for a long time. After a while, he said, “OK, you can go.”

On the surface, he didn’t break my lies.

But I sat at the table and looked up at him. The more he was like this, the more flustered I was.

I knew he doubted me.

But even so, I had to do it. I had to rely on my own ability to solve my own crisis. I couldn’t hide under his wings all the time.

After breakfast, I put on my shoes and took my laptop to go out. Sean took me to the door.

He said nothing today. He just gave me a big hug, and then he turned away.

I stood at the door and felt depressed.

Maybe I shouldn’t have kept it from him.

But I didn’t have time to think. I took a taxi to the scene of the press conference.

By the time I arrived, it had been set up.

Barbara and several other people from Aohui PR were there, but the reporters were outside.

When I arrived, Barbara came up and asked me seriously, “are you ready? You will be on your own later. No one can help you.”

“I know.”

I nodded.

To tell the truth, I was terrified.

Soon I was going to face the cameras and questions of the reporters. Was I ready?

The truth was I was not ready.

But I had no way out. I could only help myself.

I put my laptop down and got everything ready, and then I looked at the time in the lower right corner of the computer.

The press conference starts at 10 o'clock.

Reporters would be here from 9:30.

Now it was five minutes before the reporters came in.
