Chapter 41

"Mr. Allen!" The cafeteria was in chaos.

Michael pointed at Victor ling on the ground and asked Eric, "Are you sure we should continue?"

Eric calmly replied, "Don't worry. It's fine. Whenever he encounters something he can't handle, he pretends to faint. He's always been like this."

The ambulance arrived, and the paramedics lifted Victor onto the stretcher.Eric, looking aggrieved, said, "Michael, I'll go to the hospital to check on him. Even though I know he's pretending, as his son, I can't let people think I don't care about my family."

Michael patted his shoulder and gently said, "Goahead! Mr. Allen is old;just listen to whatever he says. If you feel wronged, come to me.Don't bear it alone,okay?"

Jeremy watched from the side, getting goosebumps.

Qiana grabbed Michael by the ear and dragged him to the office.

"Qiana, don't I have any dignity?" Michael rubbed his reddened ear,pretending to look pitifully at Qiana.

Qiana angrily pointed at him and said, "Do you still care about dignity?You've embarrassed the Johnson family. This almost cost a life, and you still won't break up?"

"Qiana, don't worry. Eric said Mr. Allen pretends to faint when he encounters something he can't handle. There's no life-threatening danger."Michael smiled and said, "Besides, we won't break up. Eric and I have a great relationship; you can't tear us apart."

After saying that, he took out his phone to call Jerry, saying he needed to

go out for a bit.

Qiana thought he was going to the hospital and angrily said, "What are you going to do? Haven't you done enough to upset Mr. Allen? Will you only be satisfied if someone dies?"

"Don't worry. I definitely won't go to the hospital. If Mr. Allen sees me and really dies from anger. I'll be responsible for his death,and there will be a rift between Eric and me. I can't bear that," Michael said.

"Then what are you going to do? Michael, can you give me a break?"Qiana rubbed her temples, speaking tiredly.

Michael said, "Qiana, you promised not to interfere with me for three years.There's only six months left, so the company will haveto rely on you a bit more. For these six months, I'm still free."

After saying that, he walked out of Qiana's office without looking back.

Aaron followed behind him and asked, "Mr. Johnson, where are we going?"

"The police station," Michael said coldly.

After lunch, Isabella and Olivia returned to the office.

Isabella was initially worried that everyone would discuss the drama at the company entrance and didn't know how to respond. Unexpectedly, as soon as they entered the office, Olivia screamed, drawing everyone's attention to her.

"Oh my God! There's hugenews from headquarters," Olivia said excitedly.

Olivia had several handsome friends with similar interests. They had a group where they shared information about the handsome men in the company. Some of them were at the company headquarters and could always share timely information about the handsome men there.

Colleagues quickly gathered around. "Tell us, what's the news?"

"Mr. Allen went to headquarters," Olivia said mysteriously.

"Is he dissatisfied with the company's arrangements and went to seek an explanation?" a colleague asked.

Olivia shook her head. "No, Mr. Allen doesn't care about a small branch manager position. What he cares about is the heir of the Johnson Group."

Isabella was surprised. "The heir? Mr. Allen wants to be the heir? Could he be the long-lost child of the Johnson family?"

Olivia patted Isabella's head and said, "Sweetie, clear those melodramatic plots from your mind. Mr. Allen's story is even more dramatic."

"Tell us."

"Olivia,hurry up."

"Oh Olivia, you're killing me with suspense."

Olivia said, "Mr. Allen is not an illegitimate child of the Johnson family.

When I say he cares about the heir of the Johnson Group, I mean it literally."

"Olivia, that's not something to joke about," a senior colleague advised.

"I'm not joking; it's all over headquarters." Olivia showed them her phone.displaying photos from her colleagues at headquarters, which showed two men holding hands. She explained, "Mr. Allen went to headquarters and walked around the company hand-in-hand with Mr. Johnson. They even had lunch together in the cafeteria. The group chat says Mr. Allen's father fainted out of anger, and they had to call an ambulance! Mr. Eric Allen's father is Mr. Victor Allen!"

"What a pity!" a colleague sighed, "Mr. Eric Allen is handsome, has a good

character, and comes from a good family. I was thinking of introducing my niece to him, but now i seems there's no hope."

Another colleague joked, "A nephew will do,too!"

The colleague with a niece shrugged and said wistfully, "I wouldn't dare take a man away from Mr. Johnson's hands. I still want to retire from the Johnson Group."

At some point, Olivia lost interest in sharing. She stood there dazed, as if she had suffered a major blow. "Isabella, pinch me and tell me this isn't real."

Isabella comforted her, "Olivia, don't be sad. There might be some misunderstanding, but after all, it's Mr. Eric Allen's private matter.We should respect his choice."

Olivia retorted, "Respect what? How can he like men?"

After saying that, Olivia ran out with red eyes.

Seeing Olivia's unusual behavior, Isabella feared she might do something foolish and chased after her.

When Isabella caught up with Olivia, she was already standing on the company's rooftop.

"Olivia,don't do anything rash." Isabella felt Olivia's reaction was too intense and worried she might do something foolish.

Olivia said. "I'm fine, just feeling stifled."

"Olivia, you don't like Mr. Allen, do you?" Isabella suddenly realized something and asked in horror.

Olivia froze and then said embarrassedly, "No, I don't. How could I like him? I would never like someone like him."

Isabella said, "Good. I've heard that sexual orientation can't be changed.We should just wish Mr. Allen and Mr.Johnson well!"

Olivia said, "They won't have a good ending. Our heir is the chairman's only grandson, which means he's the sole heir. The chairman would never let him like a man. He'll definitely find a way to break them up."

"That's really sad. They love each other but can't be together," Isabella said wistfully.

She had heard rumors about the heir of the Johnson Group, saying he was the most handsome man in Silvercrest City, the man all wealthy young ladies dreamed of marrying.

What a pity he didn't like women!

As Isabella and Olivia came down from the rooftop and were about to return, an intern ran over and said, "Olivia, Isabella, Mr. Johnson wants to see you in his office as soon as possible."
