Helen looks up as her things were thrown by the girl in the management department.

They are on the emergency stairs away from the other people's eyes.

Helen was pushed down as she looked at the three girls who blocked her way.

"Why are you doing this to me?" Helen clenched her fist.

The girls behind the girl in the middle laughs .

The girl in the middle steps forward.

Petite, beautiful, fair skin, small waist.

She's always been the most beautiful in the company until Helen came and even became the boss's secretary.

How can she accept?

Claire walks in front of her. And kicks the box that fell when she fell down.

Her things scatters around.

Helen stands up and pauses.

She looks at Claire.

"What's your problem?"

"I'm sorry. I didn't notice it there. You should not leave your things unattended or people will think they were trash left behind by others."

She smirks and flips her hair.

Helen snorted and went to pick her stuff.

She is slowly taking down her things to let Joshua, the boss's new secretary, get space for his stuff.

She accepted a generous deal from the boss to work in the company branch abroad. She is not sure how she got the opportunity since she is new in the company and barely has any impression from the boss.

But she grabs the chance instantly. Not even letting Ian regret.

She knows that so many people hated her after being promoted so fast.

An additional reason for her fast acceptance is due to that weird rumor about her and the boss.

She is glad to be able to escape it.

"Don't act as if you don't know. How can you suddenly get a recommendation from the boss? It's obvious that you use pillow talk!" The girl behind points at her.

"What pillow talk? The boss gave me this opportunity without asking for anything. I have a clean conscience!"

"Clean conscience my ass! The manager already told Claire that the two people that recommended is her and a girl from the accounting department. So how can it suddenly be you?" The other girl shouted.

Helen doesn't know how to react.

She looks at them speechless.

"What's wrong? Are you unable to talk now?" Claire glares at her.

"I don't…."-I don't know.

Helen felt wronged.

She has no idea.

The boss just asked her if she wanted to grab the opportunity.

She never wanted to steal resources from others.

She stood up seriously.

"I did nothing wrong!" Whatever they say, she knows that she did nothing wrong.

So even if they fight her she will not shy away or fear them.

"What is happening here?"

Ian frowns.

He saw Helen and her things lying on the floor and three other girls confronting her.

He just want to hurry to go down.since the elevator is loaded.

Today, his wife came to get him and invited him to eat lunch.

How can he let her wait after what happened last night.

But to his dismay, he encountered this event and what frustrates him more is that Helen is here.

He has no antagonized feelings toward Helen but his wife is too concerned about Helen and even talked about divorce?

He hasn't been married half a year and his wife wants divorce?

Drastic setting, needs drastic measures.

He pulled some strings and gave Helen the best 'go away' promotion he could pull.

This is so he won't feel bad sending her away for personal reasons.

Yet, it seems some people got different ideas because of what he did.

There is no way he won't cross path with them so instead of sneaking and be discover eavesdropping, he bluntly show his face.

The three girls look at Ian and Helen.

They all look troubled and also disgusted at Helen.

"You are so good. You snitch so fast." The girl whispers but Ian hears her.

Helen looks pale and also a bit aggrieved at Ian.

She is in this mess because of him after all.

Now everyone is looking at Ian.

Ian raised a brow.

"All of you, go to HR!" He has no time to care about them.

Ian walks past them but Helen follows him.

"Sir, please explain to me if what they said is true!"

She said.

Ian glares at her.

"Leave me alone Ms. Helen."

"Sir, did you really pulls some strings to favor me?" Helen angrily scowls.

"Hoh, excuse me but….Did you two just came out of the emergency exit together?" Monet maintained her sweet smile but her eyes were squinting almost into closing her eyes.

Isaac stares at Helen without any expression.

Ian gasps, making him look guilty.

Helen steps back and fixes her tangled hair.

This scene looks so ambiguous.

Monet steps forward.

"Ms. Helen, you do know a lot of bad rumors about you and my husband are circulating in the company right?"

Helen flinches and looks angrily at Ian then looks at Monet.

"I swear I never have any bad intentions,maam."

Monet holds Ian's hand.

Then stares at Helen's gaping expression.

"My husband feels the same." She said and drags him next to her.

Then looked at Helen.

"But since there are bad rumors, even without intentions, it looks bad for you and my husband to be near each other so….

I ask him to send you away."

Helen was taken aback.

"So the….the promotion…"

"My husband said it won't be good to just kick you out. Since the promotion is too good to be true then you should be glad to accept it. Don't just go thinking that everyone likes you."

"That….That's not what I thoug---"

She actually for a while thinks Ian really has something for her but that is just a.passing thought

Ian smiles seeing Monet putting a stand next to him.

It feels good that she is showing her dominance over her.

Ian holds Monet's hand tight.

"Let's go."

Monet wants to say more villainess, more classy villainess remark she can think of but Ian pulls her and wraps his arms around her waist.

Suddenly, she feels that she is no longer a villainess….but the main lead?

Helen looks sorry.

"I-i'm sorry." She said and made a beautiful bow.

"I...I will still accept the transfer! And I will prove that I deserve it!"

Monet felt displeased.

'She is really the main character. So strong willed.'

Ian just nods at Helen.

"Good." He said and walked away with his son and wife.

"She is pretty." Isaac said.

Monet looks at Isaac.

"You want her more than Mom?"

Isaac blinks.

"What?"

Ian frowns at Monet.

"Baby, what's wrong with you?"

"N-nothing."

Isaac doesn't know what he did wrong but it seems Monet's mood became worse after his foolish remarks.

"Mom, eat this." He said, giving her a piece of meat on her plate.

Monet rubs his head and smiles.

But he still thinks he did something bad and keeps feeding her.

Monet suddenly laughs at Isaac's comical pampering.

"Baby, I am not that hungry." She said.

Isaac looks at Monet.

"Mom, you are more, no, the prettiest woman!"

Monet gasps and feels her heart is filled with sweet sugar.

She hugs him tight.

"Um….I am."

Ian sighs.

He really should send Helen away as fast as he can.

He is not sure why but Monet is too emotional when it comes to her.

"Ian look, I got a good luck cookie." Monet smiles sweetly.

Ian smiles.

"Um…. Good."

He just need to maintain her smile likes this and their family will be alright.

Isaac is looking at Ian.

He felt a bit sad

'Is she the one father is cheating Mom with?'

How can his father hurt his Mom like this?

She is so beautiful, kind and sweet.

How can he take another woman?

He clenched his fist.

He needs to talk to his father again.

And teach him how to respect and love his own wife or else when he is old and sick, who would take care of him?

Look how his mother reacts with that woman?

Is his father not aware how he is hurting his mom?

Isaac sighs.

It's so hard to be a small kid.

If he is older, he should just go and marry his mom. So she won't be hurt.

"Isaac, what are you thinking? Eat more."

"Mom, once I grow old. I will marry you."

Monet paused and laughed a loud.

"Did you hear that, hubby?"

Ian looks weirdly at Isaac.

"You and your crazy imagination. Eat so you will grow and be wiser."

Isaac pouts.

"I am wise! I know that I should not hurt Mom."

Monet grins and hugs Isaac.

Patting his head with a small smile.

"Don't always misunderstand Daddy. He is not hurting me."

"Then why are you sad?"

"Yeah. Why?" Ian also said.

Monet pouts at Ian

"You."

"What?" Ian smirks.

"Then it's daddy's fault."

"I knew it." Isaac snorts at Ian.

Ian gapes at Monet.

Monet giggles and stick out her tongue.
