The Mysterious Billionaire and His Substitute Bride

Janet’s eyes went as wide as saucers and her hands flew to cover her mouth. “Are you saying Brandon’s gay?!” she gasped breathlessly.

She was so curious about this juicy piece of gossip that her eyes lit up excitedly. She plopped down next to Ethan on the sofa and tugged at his sleeve incessantly. “How’d you know? Who told you? You can’t just start a rumor like this, Ethan. Brandon’s the president of a big group and can’t be trifled with.”

Ethan squeezed his eyes shut, his head pounding painfully. He held the woman’s hands to stop her from pulling his sleeves and pulled her into his arms. “Brandon said it himself. Don’t tell anyone.”

“Really? I had no idea! He didn’t seem gay at all.” Janet still couldn’t completely believe this news. She shook her head in disbelief, but she was relieved that she didn’t have to fret over what had happened last night.

So it turned out that her boss was gay.

“Brandon also told me that he only takes care of you because he thinks highly of you. He doesn’t have feelings for you. So you can relax now,” Ethan explained helplessly, sighing in secret.

Janet was still in shock. She looked up at the man and saw the complicated emotions surging in his eyes. Suspicion crept into her heart.

Brandon was the president of a big and powerful group. How could someone like Ethan have met with him so easily?
