Chapter 291 Leo's Romance
By the time Elsa saw the news headline, it was already noon the next day. The headline read: #LEO Gems Founder Leo's Romance.
Chloe sent her the link and a message: [Wow, you found a boyfriend pretty fast.]
The headline was about her and Leo watching a movie together. The picture showed the movie just ending, with her head resting on Leo's shoulder, covered by his jacket, sleeping soundly. Leo was looking at her with a doting expression. There were some netizen comments below.
[This Leo isn't gay after all!]
[Ah, so sweet. Didn't expect Leo to show this kind of expression when dating.]
[Isn't this Elsa Luke's wife?]
Someone posted a video of Elsa holding her stomach during an interview.
[Luke's wife cheated on him with Leo? I remember Elsa seemed pretty close with Jonny from the Jones family too.]
[Are their relationships really that complicated?]
Elsa frowned as she scrolled through the comments.
She didn't believe this was a coincidence. The distance between them and the person who took the photo was so close that Leo must have noticed the person.
She instantly thought that she had only received ten thousand dollars and shouldn't have to endure so much criticism. So she forwarded the screenshot to Leo.
Elsa sent: [Using me to make headlines comes at an extra cost.]
Luke found out about the news from the Taylor Group's PR department.
"Mr. Taylor, we've prepared several PR plans for you to review. The urgent matter is to clarify that your marriage with Ms. Miller has ended."
Looking at the emergency plans sent by the PR department, Luke finally knew what had happened.
In the just-ended movie theater, Elsa was sleeping soundly with her head tilted, while Leo looked at her with a tenderness and affection never shown in public before.
She had only been working at LEO Gems for a few days and was already at the point of watching movies with Leo!
Thinking about their interactions in the past, Luke was overwhelmed by anger. The veins on his forehead bulged, and his patience had reached its limit!
"Should we publicly annouce that you and Ms. Miller are already divorced?" Max called to ask.
After all, compared to letting the world think Luke had been cheated on, divorce announcement was relatively more dignified.
"Not yet," Luke said, hanging up with a grim face.
He instinctively didn't want people to know that he and Elsa were already divorced.
Leo refused to admit that he was behind the headline, so Elsa took the opportunity to ask for two days off, claiming that she was affected by negative news."
"You're someone who gets affected by these?" Leo didn't believe her at all.
"At least consider it a work injury? Either you clarify the rumor, or give me a few days of paid leave to adjust," Elsa negotiated.
As an assistant, she wasn't learning any professional skills, but had the affair rumor with boss, making her role seem worthless.
"I'll give you three days at most, or you resign." Leo conceded.
With her leave approved, Elsa lay idly in bed, scrolling through her own headlines. As she expected, entertainment reporters were camped outside the office building, and Leo didn't reveal a little.
"My private life is not open for discussion. Please leave," he said. His gloomy aura was intimidating, and any reporter who tried to ask more was scared off by his disdainful eyes.
"Why you didn't explain that I'm your assistant?" Elsa was very dissatisfied and prepared to clarify things herself.
Just then, the doorbell rang. It should be Chloe, coming to check on her. Elsa got out of bed barefoot to answer the door.
However, it was Luke, who stood like an iceberg at the doorway.
