Chapter 130 Evangeline's eyes narrowed as she read the title.
Male Genitourinary Examination Report. Patient: Walter.] Evangeline's coffee went airborne in a surprise spit-take, narrowly missing the stack of papers on her desk. Seriously, Walter truly went to the urologist? She only booked that appointment to rib him a little, never thinking he would actually go through with it. Hey, since he did, she might as well sneak a peek at the results.
She had barely cracked open the report when she caught Wade' trying to snoop. "Ahem! I'm good here, Wade. Why don't you grab slunch?" she said, shooing him out the door.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWith Wade gone, she flipped through the report, her cheeks turning 50 shades of red with each page. By the tshe slammed her fist down on the last page, her face was a full-blown tomato. She had just wanted to check if Walter was healthy, not get the lowdown on his, well, everything-size, performance, even his swimmers stats! Evangeline did not hesitate, dialing Walter's number.
He picked up instantly, his voice oozing smugness. "So, Evangeline, impressed with the read?" She could practically hear his grin through the phone. The nerve! Her irritation reignited like a rocket.
"Mr. Walter Gordon, you really went out of your way to mailthis... Trying to prove a point?" she snapped.

"Are you trying to prove you're totally fine with that report?" Evangeline snorted as if a thought had just struck her. "What's there to prove, anyway? The truth is more convincing than any argument. Mr. Three-Seconds, your live performance was quite the show. Instead of playing these games, you should just payto keep quiet. Imagine how bad it would be for you if I spilled your secrets after we split, and you couldn't find anyone new." The infamous three-second fiasco was Walter's Achilles' heel.
Evangeline's brazen mention of it was like teasing a tiger. Surprisingly, Walter did not seem to care.
"You enjoyed it too, right? Forget the duration. As long as it was pleasurable, that's what matters..." Walter smirked.
That did it.

Then, a sly smile crept across her face. If Walter was not bothered by his 'three second blunder, well, she had other plans.
Over at Gordon Group's headquarters, David, the CEO's assistant, stepped out of the office with a nagging sense that something was off. His colleagues were too quiet, too focused on their work, as if hiding something just beneath the surface.
When David spun, he spotted small clusters of coworkers huddled together, whispering. The mament they noticed his gaze, they snapped back to their tasks, pretending to be engrossed in their work. This was not the first tDavid had stumbled upon such secretive hudo
