Chapter 59

The press conference ended perfectly.

11 was Mikayla's first time facing the media on behalf of Salvatore Group, and her every gesture exuded the elegance of a daughter of an eminent family. At the same time, she displayed the competence and intelligence of a businesswoman without any pettiness, earning unanimous praise from the public.

Jason watched the live broadcast and replayed it over and over again. Mikayla's rationality almost drove him crazy. He said inwardly, 'I never expected her to have this sidef

Suddenly, his phone rang. Jason grabbed his phone, asking, "What happened?"

"Mr. Lindstorm, it wa

was not our fault. Salvatore Group didn't let us in," the person replied.

"Didn't let you in?" Jason asked,

"Yes. And I think the reporters they let in were fron Klein Group," the person replied.

'Klein Group? Is it Juliet? Looks like I've underestimated her abilities. I can't believe she came up with that to deal with the matter;

thought.

"Just do this "Jaxon said. His lips curled into a wie

wicked smile

1 persuasion doesn't work, don't blame me for using force, Mikayla he scoffed inwardly.

Mikayla was not proud of the press conference, Instead, she returned to the company and went back to work. However, time was running shorl. Before she could get much done, it was time to leave work. By the time she finished the paperwork, it was after hours. The department did not allow overtime, and Salvatore Group was a large company with strict working hours, so there were only a few people left in the entire company, including Maxius.

When Maxius saw Mikayla leaving the office, he broke the silence and said, "I didn't expect to cause you any trouble."

As she walked beside Maxius, she said, "The truth will prove my innocence. We can't control what others say. Let's just do our part well. Everything is fine. Let's get out of work together, Mikayla didn't know what her father had said to Maxius, but she sensed he was more depressed than before.

As Maxius oliserved Mikayla's delicate prodile in the elevator, he suddenly sharpened his gaze and composed himself. They walked next to each other, discussing work matters without further comment. Their conversation was pleasant. However, as soon as they stepped out of the lobby, a swarm of unknown reporters rushed forward, with countless camera flashes flickering before them.

"Ms. Salvatore, when did you start dating your assistant?" a reporter quickly asked.

"Ms. Salvatore, is Mr. Ludwig breaking off the engagement with you again?" another chimed in.

"Ms. Salvatore, how do you feel about being in a relationship with your assistant and having ties to the Ludwig family at the same time?" onc reporter added.

Mikayla was speechless, Sharp questions came at her one after another.

"Mister, you knew Ms. Salvatore was about to get married, yet you stayed involved. Do you have any other motives?" a reporter inquired.

The flashes kept flickering. Mikayla was surprised by the swarm of reporters. They seemed prepared and turned their attention to Maxius instead. How do you feel about being with Ms. Salvatore?" one reporter asked.

"How far have you gotten with Ms. Salvatore?" another added.

"You were both in the house for almost an hour. What were you doing during that time" one inquired.

Maxius had Mikayla shielded behind him. Faced with the reporters' increasingly probing questions, he showed a rare hint of anger.

Mikayla came to her senses and grabbed Maxius, knowing he had no experience dealing with reporters. If they found any loopholes in his words, the situation could escalate and get out of hand. Besides, the whole thing was aimed at her. She had never expected Jaxon would use that trick against her.

When the company's security guards saw that, they rushed over and blocked the journalists, keeping them three feet away.

"Mikayla, let me go outside and explain to them!" Maxius demanded. He was a grown man, after all

"It's no use. Those people won't give up just because of your statement," she said. Mikayla had made things clear at the press conference that afternoon, but since Jaxon had deliberately incited the media, how could they be so easily dismissed?

Mikayla straightened her slightly rumpled hair, put on a formal smile, and walked calmly toward the reporters.

"I made everything clear at the press conference this afternoon. If you have any questions, please contact our PR department first." Mikayla anticulated every word clearly.

"Ms. Salvatore, we couldn't enter the press conference this afternoon. Please satisfy our curiosity! a reporter demanded.

"That's rightt We've been waiting here for so long. Please tell us, what exactly is your relationship with this assistant?" another reporter inquired.

Mikayla remained silent

The reporters seemed determined not to give up until they got an answer.

As Mikayla considered how to stop those people and get away safely, she heard a sudden screeching of tires from behind. The sound of the tires screeching against the ground was pretty disturbing.

She recognized the car and thought, Isn't that the car Josiah usually uses to pick me up? I didn't ask him to come today because I'm running late,

A pair of black leather shoes stepped out of the luxurious car, landing with a thud. A tall figure leaned out, his crew-cut hair complementing his perfect masculine features. His dark gaze swept over the crowd like a regal ruler looking down upon his domain.

If one were to say that God showed favoritism in creating human beings, Carlos would definitely be one of His favorites.

"How about 1 satisfy everyone's curiosity? Carlos' stern voice and indifferent expression made the others standing there unable to meet his piercing gaze. No one dared to ask questions in front of his intimidating aura.

The towering figure, who seemed to be enveloped in a bright aura, walked toward her. The man always seemed to leave in a hurry and return unexpectedly. At that moment, he looked like a prince on a white horse

With long strides, he approached Mikayla, pulled her to his side with one hand, and turned to face the reporters who were deliberately trying to cause trouble

"I will not tolerate any of you questioning my wornan! If I replace that you have been incited to give her a hard time, I will not be lenient!" Carlos voice was cold, with a hint of threat.

s the man held her, she could feel the warmth emanating from his body, and the strength of his arms gave her an unusual sense of security.

Mikayla was taken away in front of everyone, and no one dared to stop her after his words. Such a man was elegant and refined but also very dangerous.

Maxius watched the dazzling figures of the perfect couple. He turned with a hint of sadness in his eyes.

Mikayla got into the car in Carlos' embrace. She sat in her seat and dazed for a moment.

"Are you not happy I'm back?" he asked.

"It's just that you always show up out of nowhere. I was taken by surprise. Mikayla replied. Mikayla struggled to adjust to those sudden disruptions, perhaps because she was used to planning her life. Carlos leaned against Mikayla's soft body and said, "Til call you first! I won't do it again."

That's okay. I can try y to keep up with your pace, Mikayla replied.

"Mika, I'll take a nap first," he said.

'He was so energetic and dominant just now. How can he fall asleep in such a short time? He must be so exhausted... Mikayla pondered.
