If the leader were the King, the value of this unspoken rule would soar indefinitely.
Veronica frowned as she listened, disdainfully remarking, "You’re putting on a show, and the Queen knows you’re putting on a show. She isn’t a fool, there’s no reason she would be fooled by you."
"Attitude is very important. If you refuse to stoop to their level and don’t get along well with your colleagues, you won’t give the leader a handle, and you won’t get focused attention."
Wayne leaned against the sofa, stating the facts and reasoning, "Just like I’m not a pervert, but no matter where I go, I always bring a secretary. This time, I even brought three, all to imply to the Secretary Officer to inform the Queen that Sir Wayne has weaknesses and desires, easy to manipulate."
"Oh, right. Today, while in the car, I also flirted with the Secretary Officer, saying she’s exactly my type."
What a hardship for you!
The points of criticism were so numerous Veronica nearly choked and was speechless for a long while before finally saying, "So, Mister Lando always keeps Megan by his side for the same reason?"
"No, he really is having an affair with Megan."
Wayne lowered his voice, beckoning Veronica with a crooked finger until she leaned in, then whispered, "I’ve asked, Austin’s not pretending. He really did roll in the sheets with Megan, more than once. You should just know about this; please don’t tell anyone, I promised him I wouldn’t leak it."
"This is outrageous!"
Veronica clenched her teeth in rage, secretly vowing to tell her mother once she got back.
The next second, she looked suspicious and muttered, "Why would Mister Lando tell you such a thing? You’re not his leader. Are you lying to me?"
"Hilarious, you think I need to tarnish Austin’s reputation? His bad rep doesn’t need my help. Me saying a couple of bad things about him is actually whitewashing him."
Wayne snorted with laughter, then cast a contemptuous glance at Veronica, "He told me all of this simply because he’s jealous I’m too upright, not dirty enough, and he advised me to be more like him, bringing a secretary everywhere I go."
Veronica was somewhat convinced, mentally punching Austin hard. Damn social trash, had he considered her feelings at all when he did that?
Truly detestable, what kind of lesson is this!
"Besides, Austin said it’s for your own good." Wayne spoke somberly.
Veronica was baffled, wondering how it was for her good. She didn’t feel good at all.
"As the heir of the Lando Family, I will inevitably be surrounded by beauties throwing themselves at me. For instance, Miss Mary Ann earlier, her goal wasn’t only to bribe."
Wayne lured Veronica with half-truths and deceptions, "Bribery could only solve the Snow Family’s immediate difficulties. What then, without the protection of the Magic Department, how can the Snow Family continue to throw their weight around?"
Veronica dumbly said, "Depend on Sir Wayne, you’re the heir of the Tulip Family. If Mary Ann becomes your lover, the Snow Family will have a new pillar to rely on in Lundan."
"Exactly, that’s right."
Wayne snapped his fingers, suddenly stood up, and placed his hands on Veronica’s shoulders, "Austin is wrong, you are smart. With just a little guidance, you could blend into this filthy circle."
Veronica turned her head to look away, pleased to be recognized, but she really didn’t want to blend into that circle.
"Continue, now onto the second question."
Wayne pointed at Willy, "If she were the Little Fairy trying to seduce me and you were not present, how should I extricate myself?"
Veronica looked around in confusion until Mona caught her eye.
Wayne reached out and drew Mona into his embrace, who cooperatively leaned on his shoulder, "I always carry a secretary with me. Even if a Little Fairy came knocking, I would have a secretary step up and turn her away, just like the three secretaries did with Mary Ann earlier."
Combining theory with reality, Veronica couldn’t find a reason to argue, but still...
"You bastard, how long do you plan on holding her?"
"It’s just acting, teacher was very polite to Megan."
Wayne patted his backside and let go of the secretary, who stood up obediently.
"That’s because mother doesn’t know about the social scu... in short, mother was deceived, she definitely won’t be polite in the future." Veronica insisted on her view, sure that Hefei was unaware, otherwise Megan would have flown high by now.
"Hard to say, teacher is such a smart career woman, having seen all kinds of situations, how could she not notice."
Wayne scoffed twice and told Veronica, "Don’t believe me? Ask her when you get back. See if teacher knows or not. If she brushes it off, finding some adult reason to tell kids not to meddle, it proves she’s well aware."
"I’ll ask when I get back."
Veronica snorted, warning Wayne not to be too smug. She couldn’t stand the sight of secretaries, not even those used as shields.
Wayne chuckled inwardly. Austin and Megan as a pair were too weird, especially given Megan’s resemblance to the teacher and their reasonably good relationship.
If Austin really had an affair with Megan, Wayne hoped Veronica would learn to be more tolerant from her teacher.
And if Austin and Megan were innocent, Wayne wished Veronica would clarify the reason. This question had troubled him for a long time.
Asking Austin yielded nothing, asking the teacher was inappropriate, asking Megan...
The Butler sister’s eye-rolling was fierce!
In any case, regardless of the outcome, whether Veronica could get anything out of the questioning or not, Wayne stood to profit. This was a business worth doing.
Willy wasn’t having it, Wayne was single, she was single, so how did she become the Little Fairy?
"Why are you so clear in your mind? You’ll see what you get tonight." Veronica said with a slanted glance.
"I don’t understand, unless you spell it out."
