The Handsome CEO Is Chapter 51

Chapter 51: Chapter 51

"You ca in at the wrong ti so you don’t understand. I don’t want him like that and I don’t hate her at all. I just feel guilty for enjoying looking at him when he’s married," Nora explained.

Jero didn’t take it as that. It wasn’t the first ti he heard soone angry with Veronica for coming around since it was a reminder that Liam was married like there wasn’t a wedding band on his hand at all tis.

Jero ignored Nora and searched for sothing light to eat.

Nora didn’t like that he said nothing to her. He was Liam’s right-hand man in the company. If he said sothing then Liam certainly would be upset with her. It added to her problem of making up a story about soone making her uncomfortable.

"This isn’t a big deal. Most of the won in the office are a little bothered when she cos around because we feel guilty," she tried to explain again.

"Okay," Jero replied, hoping she would move on. She said what she said, thinking no one was around. Nora should just move on.

Nora greatly disliked Jero. He didn’t say much to anyone unless he was passing on a ssage from Liam telling them sothing they did wrong. He was just as hard to approach as Liam.

"You know, if you keep this up then you won’t have any friends at work. Everyone talks about you for being like this," said Nora.

"I co to work to make money, not friends. Perhaps that is why I can get my job done so efficiently. If you are trying to get

to not speak about what I heard then give up. Next ti don’t share your thoughts out loud if you don’t want anyone to hear them," said Jero.

Nora balled her hand into a fist. She wasn’t thinking in the heat of the mont because of her mistake. "It would be good to make so friends at work. You wouldn’t be eating lunch alone like you are now. I shouldn’t get in trouble for having a personal opinion about sothing. Everyone doesn’t need to talk good about her all the ti."

"You don’t but if you are so confident you said nothing wrong, why aren’t you leaving

alone? I want to have my lunch alone like you’ve already noticed. Shouldn’t you be on your way?" Jero asked, finally looking up at Nora again.

Why was she still here when in her head she did nothing wrong?

"I’ll be your first friend in the company and tell you that there used to be a rumour of you liking Veronica. Soone started it because they saw you looking at her in a way you shouldn’t and you were always close to her. It isn’t only the won looking at Liam. You were looking at his wife," Nora said, smiling as she concerned him. "So thought there was sothing between you two."

She ultimately frowned when Jero started laughing. Nothing about this was funny.

"For soone who works in the legal team, you’re a little too careless. I suggest you don’t repeat stupid rumours especially when it concerns a woman who is happily married and a man recently engaged," Jero advised Nora.

Nora didn’t believe him. "You’re engaged? No one knew about it."

"Well obviously. I don’t have any friends here, rember?" Jero replied, taking what he needed for his lunch and then headed for the door.

His break could not be wasted trying to talk so sense into Nora. She had to start thinking for herself.

With the rumours Beth was trying to spread Jero had to pay attention to every little thing said by the won looking at Liam. It wasn’t wrong for them to stare and fantasise about being with him even though he was married, but when they started to mix dreams with reality then the problem ca.

Nora wished Jero had not walked in on her talking to herself. Anyone else in the office would understand her but the loner never would. "What does he get out of being that way? How is he engaged? Stop," she scolded herself.

She was talking to herself out loud again.

Nora walked out of the break room before soone else could enter and put her in a difficult position. ’How is he engaged?’ She wondered again.

Nora never heard a peep about Jero getting engaged. No one in the office celebrated it. She wouldn’t put him to be a liar since it could easily be found out if he was lying.

’I don’t believe him,’ she thought, regarding Jero having feelings for Veronica.

Nora noticed the two of them walked into the office today and before, he was always looking at Veronica when she ca to visit. ’He’s quick to help her and it looks like his day lights up. Could it be there was sothing on her part?’

It would be good if Veronica had once slipped up so Liam looking sowhere else for love would be justified. Jero could be engaged now but there could have been sothing in the past.

’I can’t try to find sothing about this now. I need to stop Liam from looking into harassnt. My big mouth,’ Nora thought, wishing ti could go back so she could fix her mistake.

Nora pulled herself together and headed to where everyone was gathering to enjoy the cake brought for Veronica’s visit. If she could just show Jero how nice she was to Veronica then this would all go away.

’If I beco the next Mrs Sterling then Jero will be the first to go.’

Nora was glad the blinds were up so she couldn’t see inside Liam’s office. They weren’t together but it still hurt. If Veronica didn’t want anyone lusting her husband then she shouldn’t be showing how much of a good man he was.

Nora wanted to be whisked away from a party too. She made the mistake of not approaching the other Sterlings to have them well acquainted with her. Soone in the family must have noticed her since out of all the employees present, she was invited to the charity event for the second year in a row.

Nora took her phone out of her pocket after hearing the notification for a ssage. She opened it and for the first ti, Beth sent her a ssage. "Talk about timing," she said. "She rambles too much. She doesn’t have a plan."

Nora left the chat without sending a response to Beth. She should have never counted on a silly little girl jealous of Veronica to help her get what she wanted. She had to do it herself.
