Living With My Lady Boss

Wilbur's expression was ashen. "She said no, and her attitude was terrible."

"The nerve she has!" Faye scoffed. "Well, we won't play nice either. Report her for slander right now, and have the legal department sue her. Give her a taste of jail and see how she acts then."

No one said anything after that, but everyone knew that Faye would not even have to lift a finger. Everyone else present was more than capable enough of getting it done. Flora Duvall would not be able to retaliate in the slightest, and Wilbur would not even have to show up.

Yet Wilbur gave it some thought, and said, "That's a little drastic, come on. She is still a kid, let's just give her another chance."

Faye looked at Wilbur. "Okay, since you're fine with it. We'll give her one more chance. I'll tell the legal team to send her a letter explaining how serious the matter is. Let's hope she wakes up."

Wilbur nodded, and Faye made the calls at once.

Wilbur was nothing but annoyed then.

He had been made viral on the internet out of nowhere, insulted and cursed for something he did not do at all.

A mere look at the comments was enough to make him flare up.

The comments were so vile that they had entered the territory of death threats, and personal attacks on his appearance.noveldrama

Those insults were harsh and difficult to swallow even with how powerful Wilbur's social status and spirit energy was.

Anyone would have crumbled under such pressure a long time ago.

Wilbur had finally experienced just how terrifying cyberbullying could be.

Just then, Elsa spoke up with a frown. "Also, the only reason they haven't found your number is because it's considered classified information. Your phone would've been blowing up with endless calls and death threats in your voicemail and text message inbox otherwise."

Faron glanced at Elsa, knowing that she was only saying this because she felt like Wilbur was being too kind.

Faron honestly agreed with Elsa, nodding in a rare gesture of support for his cousin.

At last, Faye said, "Alright, let's not think about that for now. It's rare that everyone's here. Let's go out for dinner and drinks."

The others did not want Wilbur to be plagued with frustration and called out in agreement at once before yanking him off of the island.

They decided on the nearest restaurant, ordering a few dishes and two bottles of wine.

It was dinner time then, and the restaurant was considerably packed. The private rooms were all booked up as well, and everyone else sat in the common area.

Just as Wilbur and his friends were happily eating and chatting, the people at the table next to theirs had had a few drinks and began discussing the matter from earlier.

"That pervert's certainly gone viral."

"He bloody well deserves it! Taking upskirt photos of a young lady. He honestly deserves a fate worse than death."

"I'd beat the shit out of him if I were to run into the bastard."

The conversation grew louder and louder, its participants getting more and more worked up.

It was clear that the incident had become a national trending topic.

Faye and the others pretended not to hear it, trying their best to talk over the voices and distract Wilbur with more drinks.

Of course, Wilbur's senses were heightened enough for him to hear every single word around him.

He could even hear the conversations happening a few tables away. Everyone was against him, and the comments only grew more and more vile.

However, Wilbur pretended not to hear them as well.

He had decided to give Flora a chance, and nothing was going to change his mind.

Whatever anger he felt about this was his to deal with.

Wilbur and his friends sat for a little over an hour. A good number of tables in the restaurant were discussing the matter the entire time.

At last, Faye said, "We're almost out of wine now. Let's head back."

The others hurried to nod, wanting nothing more than to get out of there.

Faye got up to pay the bill, and the rest stood up to head to the exit.
