They Said I Seduced the CEO, Until the Truth Revealed

The company cafeteria hired a new chef and my wife, Priscilla, said the food hasn’t tasted good lately.

Out of concern, I spent the whole morning making her a special homemade lunch for her birthday.

Priscilla loved the meal and gave me a quick kiss on the cheek. But a new intern I didn’t know happened to see us.

He apologized for interrupting, but his look felt odd. I didn’t think about it much until he went online and posted about me.

[What a shameless guy! He’s married and his wife is pregnant, yet he came to work to flirt with my boss. His wife is several months pregnant and he is still working. He must be losing it at home. Whoever Leo’s wife is, your husband is cheating on you.]

Seeing that random photo of me labeled “scumbag,” I gave a faint smile and called my wife. “I heard you have an intern husband? Priscilla, you’re fired.”

——

Priscilla picked up right away. I could hear her typing in the background. “Honey, what’s wrong?”

I didn’t reply, my eyes still on Joseph’s Instagram story. If the finance department hadn’t recommended his profile to me, I wouldn’t have even known who he was.

His Instagram stories were full of bragging and materialism. Even his bio said he wanted to marry a rich woman.

Priscilla kept asking what was wrong, sounding worried. Only then did I speak. “That intern, Joseph… I ran into him in the office at noon. I heard you hired him?”

I didn’t mention the photo directly. I just sent her a screenshot of Joseph’s Instagram story. “He walked into your office without knocking at noon and before the workday even ended, he posted about me online, saying I tried to seduce you.”

She went quiet for a few seconds. Then Priscilla spoke, her voice tight with anger. “Leo, don’t worry. I’ll take care of it right now.”

“How will you handle it?” I laughed quietly, my fingers brushing over the photo of Priscilla’s pregnant belly. This morning, before I left, she was still grumbling about the baby kicking her again.

Since Priscilla was six months pregnant and couldn’t move around much, I took maternity leave to stay home and take care of her.

I told her to stop going to the company and just rest at home, but she said she had important things to handle and had to stay at work for now.

Because it was Priscilla’s birthday, I wanted her to try my cooking. That was what ended up causing this rumor.

“He also said you’re his wife. So how are you going to explain that?”

Something hit the table and Priscilla took a deep breath. “Leo, this kid is really immature. He messed up once before and I already dealt with him. I didn’t think he’d cause trouble again! Don’t worry, if he can’t handle this, I’ll make him pack up and leave right away,” Priscilla said firmly.

I smiled a little. Even after all this, Priscilla still wanted to keep that intern? I heard her softly gasp on the phone; her baby was probably moving again.

“Priscilla, I don’t care if he spreads rumors about me, but he called our unborn child a bastard. You know I can’t stand seeing you hurt and I won’t let anyone insult our baby.”
