Alpha 222

Harold’s words caused me to scowl. I glanced at Max, who looked calm.

“Okay, let me check it.”

I hung up the phone and checked on the internet to know what Harold was talking

about.

I was surprised to see that there were so many searches conducted under both my name and

Adrian’s name.

I went ahead and clicked on my name. My timeline was flooded with a large number of posts almost

immediately.

“Alpha Adrian is cheating on his girlfriend with his ex–wife?” I muttered with a confused tone.

Lclicked a few more posts. The fact that people started talking about Adrian pulling me to his office

and that some of the employees even claimed to have seen it was something that caught me off

guard.

Why did they even bother to make a statement? Did they have no fear of losing their jobs?

People began to chastise me in their posts and comments about why I went to the company. It

suddenly became a matter of their concern.

As I read the comments, I felt a growing sense of rage and clenched my jaw.

“Alpha did not want to cheat. I bet that woman did something to seduce him.”

“I am curious about how Lynda is handling everything at this moment. She must be heartbroken.”

“Alpha should not cheat on her. She is such a sweet and nice girl.‘

My eyes were glued to the comments as I scrolled through them and mumbled,

“Sweet and nice, my foot!”

I was so occupied reading the posts and comments that I forgot Max Harrison was sitting in front of

me, fixing his gaze at me.

“Are you okay?”

My eyes paused on the screen. I slowly lifted my head and looked at him.

I put the phone on the table and cleared my throat. “Yeah.”

The waitress brought the coffee to our table and placed it in front of me.

“Your latte,” she said, giving a smile before leaving.

I was not in the right mind to smile back. Even though I was looking at the coffee mug, my mind was

still on the things that I had seen on the internet.

“You came here after seeing the news, didn’t you?” I asked Max and then focused my attention on

him.

Instead of looking at me, he turned his gaze to the coffee he was drinking. He took a sip and gave

me a nod.

“You are right.”

After that, I did not utter a single word and started drinking my coffee. I was at a loss for words.

Right then, all I needed to do was call Adrian and scold him. How could he be so careless? What

kind of employees did he have who dared to break news outside?

I felt a touch of a hand on mine. When I looked over, I noticed that Max had placed his hand on my

hand. I gazed at him.

“Natalia, relax.”

I let out a sigh. “Everything is becoming so exhausting for me. I even said this to that man, too. But

he hates me so much that he is going to make my life hell.”

He moved his hand and said,

“There are rumors going around that Alpha Adrian is pursuing you. Is that true?”
