I had my driver take me there to retrieve it, but I discovered that the company’s access system had deactivated my fingerprint and face ID.
It was ridiculous. It was my own company, yet I couldn’t even get inside. I quickly took out my phone and called Priscilla.
“What’s going on? Did you change the company’s access system?”
Priscilla didn’t answer at first. I heard some rustling and a woman’s muffled moans. After Priscilla let out a long breath, she hurriedly picked up the phone.
“Leo, what did you say? I was busy and didn’t hear you…”
But that strange sound immediately put me on edge. My blood went cold. I knew that noise all too well. It was the sound Priscilla made when she was aroused. I recognized it instantly.
“What are you doing?” I asked coldly. “Who’s with you right now?”
Before Priscilla could reply, something clicked in my mind and I quickly opened the security monitor on my phone.
The next moment, my world shattered. The blinds in the office were all closed. Inside the enclosed room, Priscilla was leaning back in her chair while a young man stood behind her, massaging her shoulders.
I recognized the young man; it was Joseph, the intern I’d argued with yesterday. My hands clenched and my eyes burned. Priscilla had lied to me!
No wonder she was so ruthless at work, but kept excusing an unnoticed intern again and again. So they’d been having an affair all along…
Priscilla stammered, “It’s nothing, honey, you misunderstood. I’d been sitting too long, so I just had Joseph massage my shoulders.”
“Did he really massage you? Nothing else?”
On the footage, Priscilla waved at Joseph, who reluctantly left. “Really, nothing else. If I had time for that, I’d be at a massage parlor by now, wouldn’t I?”
She tried to make a joke. “Leo, why are you calling? Is something wrong? Do you want me to come?”
I watched Priscilla silently on the screen. She was still the same person I knew, but somehow, she had changed for the worse.
She lied to me so easily, so naturally. I usually believed her, but I didn’t know how many times she had already lied.
I took a deep breath to calm down. “Why was my access to the company gate removed?”
I suddenly remembered the advice my friends gave me at the gathering a few days ago.
“Everyone’s wary of gold diggers these days. You should watch your wife. Priscilla treats you really well and spoils you, but you can’t ignore a woman’s vanity and ambition. Now that she knows you’re a top tycoon, always under your influence, who would be truly happy? Especially since she’s pregnant and wants you to take maternity leave with her. You need to be careful she doesn’t try to push you aside.”
I usually thought my friends were overreacting. But now, it was frightening. If she wasn’t trying to take advantage, why would she be working at the company six months pregnant?
If it wasn’t because of guilt or some scheme, why would Priscilla deliberately remove my access to the company?
