Chapter 87 Throwing a Fit

Mala knew Tess really well. Once she had set her mind on something, it was difficult to change

“Fine, Aunt Tess. I'll move in with you once | get off work.”

‘That’s the spirit! If you kept turning me down, | would’ve gotten so mad!” Tess smiled and patted Maia on the shoulder.Maia smiled to appease her aunt.

Tess relented, “I'll get back to the winery now. I'll come back to pick you up in the evening and we can go back to your place topack!!

“| promise I'll stay here!”

“You'd better!” Tess nodded with satisfaction as she walked towards the door. “No need to see me off, you should get back toyour work.”

“Drive safe, Aunt Tess. You’re not as young as you used to be!” Maia teased.Tess shook her fist at Maia in return. “I’m still young at heart!”Maia laughed at her response as she waved at Tess. When she got back to her desk, Maia was lost in her own thoughts again.

Just then, her cell phone vibrated. It was a notification about the news that Cedric was gay. She could not help but smile, and hermood perked up instantly.

Back at Prismara City’s most iconic twin buildings, the atmosphere was not as cheerful. Cedric broke his pen in a rage as hewatched footage of the news that day.

Baz, who was standing aside, lowered his head in silence. He was trying hard not to laugh at the comment that ‘Mr. Cedric wasnot interested in women.”

Maia was definitely fearless.

“| can see that your hand is over your mouth. Do you have something to say?”

Cedric’s voice sent shivers down Baz’s spine as he immediately stood up straight and shookhis head.

“Not at all, I'm just surprised at how crude Ms. Maia could be.”

Cedric turned his head back to the screen after giving Baz a withering look.

Maia knew very well that he was interested in women! How could she say something so

He had to make sure that she understood the gravity of the situation.

The news that Cedric was gay was everywhere. He frowned and instructed Baz, “Call the media, | need to conduct a privateinterview.”

B knew that his boss hated interviews, so he asked in confusion, “Which kind of private interview?”

“What kind?” Cedric raised an eyebrow as he retorted coldly.

“Right. | get it! The kind that discusses your sexual orientation!” Baz exclaimed. His boss immediately flashed him a sharp look.Baz decided to stay silent.

Just then, an alert came through his phone and Baz’s expression dropped. “Mr. Cedric, | have news that Theo had managed toget away.”

Cedric’s already furrowed eyebrows deepened as he ordered, “Find him. Even if it means turning the city upside down!”

The longer that Theo is out free, the more danger Maia would be in. He needed to act quickly as threats seemed to be increasingaround her.

“Got it!” Baz nodded and left to do as his boss asked.

Cedric continued to stare at Maia on the screen as he thought to himself how cool she had looked. However, when her wordscame out, he felt somewhat dejected.

There was nothing he could do, he could only sigh in defeat.That same evening, Cedric had a private interview with a magazine.

Due to his intimidating presence, the interview was an awkward one, as the reporter asked, ” Mr. Cedric, what do you have tosay to the allegations claiming that you are gay?”

“It was a couple’s squabble. She was just throwing a fit.”

“Does this mean that the part that claims Mr. Cedric not being interested in women was just an off-the-cuff remark and not thetruth?*

“Well, it's partially true,” Cedric said, to the reporter’s surprise.Before he could ask further questions, Cedric interjected, “I’m not interested in anyone else but her.”

Cedric smiled dashingly and added, “One more thing. | was never engaged to Zera, if you continue to spread such baselessrumors, I'll take the matter to court.”

“For some reason, | can’t wait to see them get back together! Wouldn't that be a great love story between two tycoons?”“Correction, two tycoons who are just getting back together!”

When Cedric got back from the conference room, Baz came running up to him and whispered, “Mrs. Cedric is here.”Cedric’s brow furrowed as he replied, “Send her off.”

Before Baz could do so, Rita came barging into his room, yelling, “How dare you try to get me sent away! You’re my son! Howcould you refuse to see me just because of another woman’s whims?”
