The Love Triangle Chapter 216
Madeline suspected that Trevon's request was just because he did not like seeing her with nothing to do.It was not that she had any downtime.However, since he had put the task in her hands, she would decide how the afternoon tea would go.Still, she was not about to make any decisions without knowing the ropes at the Gibson Group.After pondering a bit, she reached out to Aurora, the one person she knew in the secretarial office.Aurora filled her in on the usual afternoon tea routine. "It's typically some freshly sliced fruit and a cup of tea with milk for each person."Madeline got the gist. "If I wanted to extend the afternoon tea to the entire company, what would I need to do?"Aurora's eyes widened in shock. She had heard Trevon's instructions clearly. It was supposed to be just for the secretarial staff.Madeline was daring enough to consider the whole company.Madeline's eyebrows arched playfully. "What's the matter? Can't a boss's wife host a little party?"Aurora c

Lydia was back at the office.Her injury, her pregnancy—those were her tactics to reclaim Trevon's heart.She knew she could not let her professional life slide.Trevon was the type to keep work and personal life in their own lanes.She had landed the art director gig because she had the resume and the chops to back it up.She assumed her position was safe, but she had not expected that in such a short span, Skylandia had already filled her spot.She became just another artist. Her responsibilities were handed off to Lily Mora, the newcomer who seemed to come out of nowhere.Lydia was seething inside.The sight of the afternoon tea spread Madeline laid out made her want to chuck it all in the bin. However, everyone around her was busy singing Madeline's praises, calling her a generous and big-hearted boss.A cup of tea with milk, a piece of fried chicken, a bit of fruit. Was that all it took to win them over?"Lydia, aren't you going to have some?"Lydia smiled faintly. "I'm

"I'll have a new dress sent over right away." Daniel said.The stakes were high at the dinner party.The Quigg family's scandal had shaken things up, leaving Qasim sidelined for the time being. However, the deals on the table, especially the AI upgrade for the Gibson Group's smart homes, could not wait. Trevon had set up a crucial meeting with a top dog in the AI world—Winchester. If they nailed that, the Gibson Group could dominate the market for decades.Madeline could not just rock up in jeans and a tee, especially not that night.However, when she and Daniel stepped out, there she was, Madeline, storming back in with a shopping bag and a scowl. She caught their eyes, huffed, and looked away. Daniel almost spilled about the dress not being Trevon's idea, but one look at Trevon's face and he zipped it."Give me a minute," Madeline snapped, brandishing the bag.Daniel peeked inside, spotting a gown. "Mrs. Gibson, where'd you get that dress?"Madeline was not one to flake, esp

It was Aria, the very woman she had clashed with that morning at the property management office.Clad in a black dress with a daring slit and her bold red lips, Aria was a head-turner at the banquet, her notorious 'son' conspicuously absent.'It's a small world after all,' Madeline thought wryly.Trevon gave her a quizzical look. "Something wrong?"Madeline bit her lip.Daniel had filled her in on the way over about the stakes of the dinner party.It was a pivotal gathering for the Gibson Group, shaping the company's commercial strategies for decades to come. The banquet was a gathering of esteemed partners, crucial to the Gibson Group's future collaborations.Whether the partnerships would pan out seemed to hinge on the dinner's proceedings.Madeline was not sure where Aria fit into all that, but she did not want to sidetrack Trevon's business, so she quietly filled him in on the morning's altercation.Learning that the culprit behind the dangerous littering was Aria's son ma

"I don't believe I did anything wrong this morning," Madeline replied, her smile unwavering, her stance firm.Aria snorted with a mix of laughter and rage."Clearly, you have no clue who I am. My husband is Milton, the general manager of the Winchester Group. We're here at the Gibson Group president's invitation to talk shop."Judging by your plain-Jane getup, I'd say your husband isn't much of a big shot, so do yourself a favor and apologize. Otherwise, I'll have Mr. Gibson toss you and your hubby out on your ears. He might even blacklist you from the Gibson Group for good."Madeline was once again taken aback by Aria's audacity.She had expected Aria to tone it down for such a high-stakes gathering.Everyone has their pride, after all.Madeline had hoped that would be the moment to mend fences with Aria, but she was as unyielding as ever.Madeline offered a slight smile. "What would you like me to do to apologize?"Aria tilted her head up, her eyes dripping with disdain. "Bo

Madeline was without a hint of fear, her eyes as serene as a calm lake.She had seen it coming—Trevon was going to dump all the blame and pressure on her.Why did it matter though?She did not think she had done anything wrong.Aria smirked at her gleefully, as if she could not wait to see Madeline crumble and kneel right there and then.Trevon spoke up, his voice cool and detached. "My wife is the kindest soul. I can't imagine what Aria did to earn such a harsh word from her."Aria's eyes widened in shock. "Mr. Gibson, what are you talking about? She's your wife?"They had walked in one after the other, looking like total strangers.She had been so sure Madeline and Trevon had nothing to do with each other. It was, after all, common sense that couples always walked together.Trevon, unfazed, beckoned Madeline over.When Madeline just stood there, looking lost, he went to her and took her hand. "Yes, she's my wife. What exactly did you do to upset her, Aria? She's gone all qu

Aria was just sobbing, not saying a word for a long time.Milton got it right away that Aria had definitely screwed up and instantly lost some of his steam.With Aria unable to get her story straight, Madeline stepped in, albeit reluctantly, to clear things up."Your son chucked a Lego model from the second floor last night, and it hit Mr. Gibson. The property management called me in this morning to figure out what to do, but Aria gave me an attitude and was totally uncooperative. She even had the nerve to demand I compensate her. I really think people who don't care about public decency need to improve themselves."Madeline squirmed, trying to shake off the heavy hand on her waist.Trevon seemed clueless, having placed his hand there, giving her awkward rubs, which was driving her nuts.She was dying to shoot Trevon a look that would get him to back off, but she knew it was not the time.Trevon did not take the hint, instead giving Madeline a woeful puppy-dog look. "My back's k

"It's not every day we get to see you, Mrs. Gibson. Please have a drink," said a woman with a touch of affluence, a stranger to Madeline. She held out a glass of wine.Catching the puzzled look in Madeline's eyes, the woman introduced herself."I'm Sarah Lundy. My husband is Carlsen Lundy, manager of the Gibson Group's Smart Home Business Department."Madeline understood that she was the evening's hostess. She offered a friendly smile but did not take the wine glass from Sarah.Catching Trevon's eye and seeing he was not going to step in, Madeline said apologetically, "I can't drink alcohol, but I'll gladly toast with some other drink."Sarah could not hide her surprise.At a dinner party, it was almost unheard of not to partake in a toast.She could not really do anything about it though. Trevon was several ranks above her husband in the corporate ladder, which pretty much made Madeline several ranks above herself. She was in no position to force Madeline to accept the toast.S
