When Fate Decided to Play its Part

CHAPTER SIXTY- NINE:

Tyler is Kind Hearted

--

First floor of the company.

There is a bustling crowd near the entrance, they were in circles and has a lively discussion about a single topic. Every employee who arrived a little bit late to see the event has a big question mark on their heads. Hearing snips and crumbs of what had transpired, they become curious and also flocked to the biggest circle, near the reception area.

“What happened?” One of the newly arrivals asked. The others who also know nothing about it perked up their ears, ready to absorb teas.

“It seems like Sir Tyler has a son-“ one lady said but the lady next to her lightly elbowed her side. She was cut off and most of them glared at her for the interruption. She glared back.

“Shut up, stop making false news.” She huffed. “I was near to them, so I heard that the kid did not even call him ‘dad’, ‘daddy’, or whatsoever! He addressed him as Mr. Tyler!”

This followed by grunts of confirmation. A man popped his head through the crowd and asked. “You might be right, but have you seen how soft he was to the kid? I even thought he wasn’t the boss in that moment. I never saw him smile like that!”

“What? So, is he really his kid? Maybe he made him stay hidden until today!”

“That stupid! I never saw miss Sheryl pregnant!”

“Then maybe it’s with another woman-“

The lady next to the guy who just talked smacked his head. And between her gritted teeth, she pulled his ears and said, “Do you think sir is like you? No! I never saw him with anyone but with miss Sheryl.”

Everyone looked at the guy complaining about how it hurts then shook their head. Right, there’s no way the boss is like him. A cheater. They have witnessed many times how many women slapped and smacked his face after discovering his affairs. The single men can’t help but bathe to his pain after getting jealous of how much attention he gets from women.

“But cheating is not entirely impossible, right?” A voice of a woman said. Countless pairs of eyes turned to look at her. After being put into the spotlight, she almost cowered.

“Why?”

She made an uncomfortable smile. “You see, did Sir even love miss Sheryl?”

“…”
