<b>Chapter </b><b>179 </b>
Tracy looked like she wanted to kill me, and it sent a chill down my spine. She abys put on that noble and elegant art, but deep down and calcting
“Mrs. Hob, let’s talk,” Tracy said, her tone losing all its unnal warmth.
I nced around at the crowd, clearly waiting for some drama, and just shis ped. “Sorry, I’ve got lunch ns with a friend. Can’t make it.”
Tracy just seered at me. “What? Are you afraid to talk
Her attempt to provoke me didn’t bother me at all. “Why would I be? An honest heart sleeps sound through midnight knacks”
Tracy’s face darkened instantly. She turned and <b>said</b>, “Conference Room Dre now.”
She was pregnant, and now she wanted to meet the somewhere with no witnesses. If the identally fell and had a miscarriage, there’d be no way to
clear my name.
No way I was going with her. She <b>was </b>obviously trying to set me up.
“Sorry, really don’t have time,” I said, turning to head back to my office.
Seeing I wasn’t going to y along, Tracy had no choice but to head back to her office and call me from herndine.
“Mrs. Hob, you’re told Jared I’m pregnant, right? You’re absolutely vicious” Tracy said, her voice practically shaking with rage.
Itered innocence. “You’re pregnant? Congrats. So, who’s the father? Is it Jared?”
“You know damn well who it is,” Tracy snapped, even more furious.
“i get it. Pregnancy y hormones mess with your mood. But Tracy, this baby isn’t even my husband’s, so why are you so–obsessed with making trouble for me?” I shot back, not in the mood for her games.
Tracy took a deep breath. “You’re really ying hardball Guess I really misjudged you.”
“Someone as full of themselves as you probably don’t think anyone’s worth your time. Tracy, let me <b>guess</b>. You wanted <b>Jared </b>to step up and im this baby, swap the lead in your drama, and I crashed <b>your </b>show halfway through
“That’s why you’re so pissed, right?” Honestly, looking at how things went down, I bet in my previous life, Jared got yed by <b>Tracy</b>, too. What a poor
dude.
Tracy was practically fuming on the other end, her breathing all ragged. Guess I nailed it,
“Mrs. Hob, do you really think everyone’s as sneaky and underhanded as you? I could sue you for sending someone to follow me, Tracy said, trying to change the subject.
“Sue me? Got any proof?” I raised an eyebrow
Tracy mmed up. It
It seemed that she really didn’t <b>have </b>anything on me.
“Don’t get too cocky. The fact is<b>, </b>Jared doesn’t love you. Let’s see how long you can keep smiling <b>Tracy </b>said, clearly pissed off, before hanging up on me,
Tactually felt pretty good. Tracy’s dirty trick had totally flopped.
At <b>lunch</b>, I treated Melissa to a meal and had her check out the contract for me. She raised an eyebrow and grinned. “The contract looks fine, <b>but </be on your husband’s giving you a 1–million dor sry?
“I’m seriously jealous. Even a senior manager would be lucky to get that, and <b>you’re </b>just a total newble. Guess it really pays to have the right people
backing you up!
“Let’s not get into that,” I said with a faint smile. “Jared’s been really not of hit mindtely I want a divorce, but he won’t go se to it.”
Melissa just gave me a knowing look. “Of course, For nor thing, it’s not easy to find someone as beautiful as you
“And besides, if he divorces you, it could impact hispany’s stock price. He has to be super careful about that kind of thing
