My Bossy CEO Husband Chapter 296: Gossip

Ding!

Ding!

The doorbell kept ringing nonstop.Wendy clutched the pillow in her arms, refusing to get up from her
bed.

‘What the hell...Where am I? What time is it? What's going on?’ Wendy groggily sat up and rubbed her
eyes in a daze.

She couldn't fall asleep until half past two in the morning.Now, she couldn't even bear to open her eyes
halfway.The doorbell continued to ring endlessly.

"Alright, I'm coming!" Wendy called out, pulling her phone up to check the time.

It was only five o'clock in the morning.

"Huh? it's only five?"

It was way too early and there was no rush to get to work.Who would be disturbing her in such an
ungodly hour? Wendy grumbled as she walked to the door.

"Hey! It's too early for...Roger? What are you doing here?"

Outside the door, Roger stood there with a serious expression on his face.

"What's going on? Did something happen?"

"Where's Jeffrey?" Roger asked, not changing his expression.

Yawning, Wendy pointed to the suite right beside hers.



"Why? What's up?"

"I need to talk to the both of you." Roger sighed and handed Wendy the morning newspaper.

"Read it for yourself."

While Wendy rubbed her eyes and lazily read the headline, Jeffrey's agent Ransom also arrived.He
went to wake Jeffery up so that they could all talk in Wendy's room.

"So...someone took a picture of Jeffrey entering my room and now the media thinks we are having an
affair?" Jeffrey's mouth twitched.

‘An affair? This is absurd!’ he thought.

It was the front page of today's newspaper.The headline was very eye-catching.

"Jeffrey and Wendy spotted spending an hour inside a hotel room together."

Jeffrey was pretty famous, and Wendy had also been in the limelight recently.

As soon as this news got out, it instantly went viral.As Wendy's agent, Roger immediately rushed to her
hotel as soon as he saw this on the news.

"What were you two doing last night?"

Wendy yawned again and sat on the bed, crossing her legs.

"Jeffrey forced me to talk to him or else he wouldn't leave, so I let him in."

Roger nervously asked, "So you two aren't, you know...dating or anything?"

‘Dating? Dating Jeffrey?’ Wendy gasped with an offended look on her face.



"Why are you reacting like that?"

Jeffrey snapped when he saw Wendy's expression.

"Do you have any idea how many women would kill for the honor of even talking to me?"

"Then by all means, give the honor to them instead." Wendy rolled her eyes.

"So you two really aren't together?"

Wendy violently shook her head.

"Of course not!"

Roger sighed in relief.

"That's good to know.At least, I have an idea how I can deal with this news now."

Roger was shocked to his core when he read the news early this morning.He was worried about Ryan
and Wendy.But he was relieved now.

She was not with Jeffrey.

Again, Wendy yawned and stretched her arms.She then let out a deep sigh.She felt like she needed
more sleep.

Back when she was in the US, there were days where in she wouldn't get any sleep at all but she still
had loads of energy.

It was as if her age was finally beginning to catch up to her.



She had gotten a few hours of sleep and already she felt exhausted.But since she had already woken
up, she had no choice but to start her day.

Wendy put on her hotel slippers and dragged herself off of her bed.

"I'm going to the wash my face now." Roger was staring at Jeffrey with a strange expression.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"You need to be more careful, Bruce.Wendy isn't as famous as you yet, so something like this would
definitely bring her down.Do you have any idea what your fans have been saying about her online?"

Jeffrey ran his hands through his hair in frustration.

"What? What do you mean I have to be more careful? I just wanted to talk to her, What's so wrong with
that?"

"Really? You just wanted to talk to her? In the middle of the night? In her hotel room?"

"So what, are midnight chats illegal now?"

"Whatever." Roger shook his head in disbelief.

“I'll just tell Wendy to avoid you."

‘Huh?’’ Jeffrey growled at Roger.

Roger chucked his phone to him.

"See for yourself!"

"What?"



"Those are all comments about Wendy just from today." Jeffrey shot Roger a dirty look before reading
the screen.

His face instantly froze as he began to read.

These were all comments just from this morning.

They all cursed Wendy.Everything was so harsh towards her.

"I used to sympathize with you because of your family.But apparently, you are nothing but a slut!"

"How shameful, Wendy.Your son doesn't even know who his father is, and you're already seducing
another man?"

"What's the hype about her anyway? She's not even that good of an actress."

"You can see it just by looking at her face that she's a bitch!"

There were so many more comments, but Jeffrey couldn't bring himself to scroll any further.

Clenching his fists, he muttered, "Shit! What is wrong with these people? I was the one who entered
Wendy's room.If anything, I should have been the one called a flirt! Why are they pinning the blame on
her?"

Roger nodded somberly.

Jeffrey scrolled a little bit more, and became even angrier when he saw that some were even beginning
to insult Raymond, too.

"What the hell! What kind of fans are these?" Roger shrugged his shoulders.



Jeffrey finally realized his mistake and gritted his teeth.

"I'll be more careful from now on.Damn it!"

Roger finally broke his gaze away from Jeffrey.

"Watch your mouth when you're with me," Roger said as he took his phone back.

"I’m a friend of your uncle Ryan.So you should call me your uncle, too."

"Ha-ha..."

Wendy overheard the conversation as she stepped out of the bathroom.She couldn't help but laugh at
Jeffrey's embarrassed face.

"Oh, shut up, Roger!"

"You boys are hilarious."

Jeffrey shook his head and gritted his teeth.

For breakfast, Jeffrey ordered some food and had it served in the room.

The four of them all gathered around the table and discussed while they ate.

"Don't you think it's a bit strange?" Ransom asked.

"Jeffrey checked in yesterday afternoon.He stayed low- key in his hotel room and almost never left until
last night.How could someone catch him at such an opportune time?"

Wendy swallowed the bite of sandwich she was chewing before chiming in, "Are you saying someone
has been waiting outside all this time? Like paparazzi that are paid to follow you 24/7?"



"It's possible, but very unlikely..."

Ransom contemplated.

"Jeffrey isn't even busy these days, so it can't be."

Upon hearing this, Roger was stunned.

"What is it, Roger?"

"Wendy...What if the paparazzi are after you?"

Wendy scrunched her face in disbelief.

‘The paparazzi? After me?No way.I'm not all that famous to be followed so closely.

"You think so, Roger?" Wendy didn't think so.

"The Eris thing is over now.Plus, I've only been so focused on work thése days.What would they
possibly want from me?"

Roger frowned, unable to give her an answer.

"I don't know, but we need to keep an eye anyway."
