Chapter 502

Terry spun around and turned to Gavin. After a short moment of silence, he chuckled. "I see. It must have been a misunderstanding, then." Gavin's face flushed red at Terry's look of contempt and dismissive tone. Terry was clearly insinuating that Gavin was beneath him, but Gavin could not argue. Terry turned to Lisa again. "Just tell me if there are any other misunderstandings. Don't let people think you don't have a boyfriend." After saying that, Terry even patted Lisa's head affectionately. For a moment, Lisa felt like she was basking in the shining spotlight, attracting more envious eyes. Lisa had a problem with this. Terry was going to break up with her eventually! The more people envied her, the more they would mock her later. Lisa's face turned miserable, feeling like she was in a real pickle. *** The meeting ended awkwardly with many people either envious or embarrassed. Once the meeting was over, Jessica and Gavin hastily left the meeting room. Those who had mocked Lisa also exited with an ugly look on their faces. Director Barnes looked at Lisa with a pleased look, not forgetting to sing her praises to Terry. "Lisa has always performed very well in our firm. What happened yesterday was just a misunderstanding. I think we've cleared the misunderstanding in the meeting just now." "I don't want such misunderstandings to happen again," Terry stated. "Naturally," Director Barnes hastily responded. He then turned to Lisa, "Hey, Lisa. Why don't you introduce the project you're working on to Mr. White? You'll be in charge of the project team from now on." Lisa was shocked. Did she just get a promotion?! Director Barnes left the meeting room before she could answer, leaving only Terry and Lisa in the meeting room. Lisa bit her lips slightly and looked at Terry. "You didn't have to invest in my project." "I don't want your hard work to go to waste. Didn't you put a lot of effort into this project?" Terry reminded her. Lisa felt a tug at his words. However, she was clearly aware of their fake relationship. Otherwise, she would have drowned in his tenderness. After all, who would not like a considerate and loving boyfriend? Still, Lisa knew that she could not fall into it. The moment she fell, their break up would be the end of the world for her. Lisa hesitated slightly. "Did you do this on purpose?" Terry would not have to come to the office just for an investment discussion. He had even made Director Barnes hold a meeting. It was as if... He had deliberately held the meeting to speak about the incident yesterday. "Yup. It was on purpose." Terry was surprisingly frank. He admitted, "This will save me from more trouble later on. I can't have my girlfriend liking someone else's boyfriend. I'll lose face when people find you." 'Lose face?' For some reason, Lisa felt a hint of disappointment. Right. He had only come here today just to save his face.
