When Love Is a Lie (Whitney and Damian)
Chapter 14

Whimey felt a chill run down her spine under Noel's stare as she recalled that night when she drunkenly took the initiative.

"Wette is just joking." Whitney said as she pulled vette along. "We're done eating. We should get going"

Before Twite could protest that she hadn't finished her meal, Whitney dragged her out the door.

Thomas squinted at Noel "Why do feel like Whitney's afraid of you?!

Noel walked toward their table. "Why do I feel like Yvette's words were meant for you?"

Once outside the restaurant, Whitney let out a breath of relief.

"What's the rush? I wasn't done eating." Wette complained. "Are you afraid I'll get angry at that scumbag? Well, I won't, In fact, it's because he's around that I'll eat even more!"

"I'm sorry, Yvette." Whitey looked apologetically at Vette. "I should've told you earlier. That man from that night was Norl."

Wette's eyes widened in shock, unable to speak.

"You thinkin's ridiculous, right?" Whitney said, feeling disheartened.

How could this not be ridiculous? She randomly picked a man, and he turned out to be Damian's cousin

Yvette silently pave her a thumbs-up, expressing admiration.

The next morning, everything was as usual. Whitney brewed a cup of coffee and brought it to Damian.

"The dinner ended late last night. I didn't want to disturb your rest, so I didn't go to see you" Damian placed the coffee aside and pulled her into his embrace. "Don't be mad"

In the past, what Whitney had loved most was Damian's embrace, especially the woody scent that lingered on his clothin.

However, now, she subtly pulled away. "I'm not mad. Yette came back from a business trip yesterday. We had dinner together."

Damian furrowed his brows for a moment at her response but quickly returned to his usual tone. "That's good to beat, Let's have dinner together tonight

Whitney nodded, then left the C's office

While she was sorting through some documents, she remembered she had forgotten to deliver a contract to the architecture departiment

She quickly retrieved it.

The architecture department was on a lower floor in the building. The thought that she would be coming here to work in a few days made her steps much lighter. "Let me introduce everyone to our new colleague."

As Whitney entered the architecture department, she saw in Clarke, the department manager, standing in the middle. Beside him was Rachel, who was wearing a pink office

"Hi, everyone. I'm Rachel Yanes, the assistant architect with Team & in the architecture department. I'm looking forward to working with all of you!

Shebeaned a sweet smile, one so innocent that, if whimey hadn't seen her true side, she might have been chained by it.

Rachel had started working at Howard Group and even in the architecture department. Didn't Damian say there was only one open position?.

"Ms Spencer." than spotted Whitney and rushed over with a polite smile. "Sorry to trouble you with delivering the contract."

No one dared to disrespect Damian's secretaries.

Whitney smiled. "No trouble at all is there another vacancy in the architecture department?"

Damian had promised to transfer her there she didn't want to believe he would break that promise.

"Another Ethan was confused. "An assistant architect left recently, so the workload shot up Luckily, HR arranged for someone to till the role, theard Mr. Howard had a hand in #think Ms. Yanes must have a strong background" Realizing he might have said too much in front of Whitney, Ethan quickly chuckled awkwardly and asked her not to tell Damian, With that, he left with the contract.

Whitney's hands clenched slowly.

Damian had said he would transfer her to the architecture department, but now, he had arranged for Rachel to fill in the role. He knew how badly she wanted to be in the architecture department "Whimney"

Whitney looked up to see Rachel standing before her.

"We'll be working together now. I'm really looking forward to it," Rachel sal

"I'm in the secretarial department, and you're in the architecture department. We won't be working closely," Whitney replied eally

Rachel smiled. "Actually, I envy you. But Uncle Damian knows I'm not cut out to serve others, so he arranged for me to work in the architecture department"

Ha! In Damian's eyes, Whitney was nothing more than someone who could serve him. He treated her as a mere servant.

"Well, didn't your Uncle Damian tell you that all assistants report to the secretarial department? So technically, you work under me," Whitney said with a smirk.

Rachel's urile faltered, and her experaton darkeunt

But she quickly regained her composure. "Maybe he forgot because he caught a cold from being out in the rain two days ago. I stayed at his willa that night. He didn't seem to have Out in the rain two days ago wasn't that the night of her birthday?

So it wasn't the pain that had caused him to cancel the meeting. He had gone to see Bachel

chapter 141e Treats. Her as a Servant

That night, she had been stuck in the elevator. She couldn't reach him on the phone. She didn't want to dwell on it. She just blan benz so nahe.

"I'm sorry, Whitney. If you don't like me working at Howard Group, Lean lewe night now. Rachel suddenly changed her tone and looked all pitinil.

Whitney thought she was out of her mind until she heard a voice from behind. "No one's leaving"

Damian walked toward them. He glanced at Whitney, then told Rachel, "Go back to work now

"Unele Damian, it's all my fault that Whitney is upset. If she wants to come to the architecture department, I'll give up my position for her." Rachel's eyes turned red-rimmed as if she were the victim.

Whimersneered, "No, thanks."

Rachel pound, ready in burst into trans

"Alright, go back to work. Don't worry," Damian said softly, his eyes flashing with impatience.

After Rachel left, he turned to Whimney and mummoned, "Come back to my office. I'll explain waything." Seeing his calm demeanor, Whitney was curious to hear what he would say in his defense.
