I didn't like to speculate or give my opinion, but I knew there was no way out when I was being cornered.
"I think it's just a rumor," I tried to be as less opinionated as I could be.
Miss Pham wasn't dating the millionaire. It was just a publicity stunt the millionaire pulled. He had even called Miss Pham to check with her if it was okay.
Miss Pham didn't really care if she was on the news. As long as the story running didn't hurt her business then she didn't really care.
So, it was really all just rumors.
"So, it's not true!" A colleague gasped.
"I don't know!" I was getting frustrated.
*RING, RING*
My phone suddenly started to ring.
I reached over to grab my phone and groaned when I saw the Caller ID.
I excused myself from the table and walked out of the restaurant.
"Yeoboseyo," I answered.
"Where are you?" Miss Pham said on the other line.
"Company meeting," I tried not to slur my words.
"Great! I have an unexpected investor meeting. I'll come get you," Miss Pham quickly said before hanging up the phone.
I groaned in frustration the second the line went dead.
Miss Pham knew where I was just by saying I was at a company dinner. We had a running tab that she paid at the restaurant everyone in the company always went to.
I walked back inside the restaurant and started to grab my things.
"Where are you going?" The Department Manager asked.
"I have an emergency," I lied.
I just wanted to leave before Miss Pham reached the restaurant.
"Oh okay. Everything okay?" He asked a bit worried.
"Yup, just need to go," I said in a hurry and speeded my way out of the restaurant.
I was too late though.
Miss Pham's limo was waiting in front of the restaurant.
"Not running away from me, are you?" Miss Pham said as she lowered her window.
"Umm..," I didn't know how to respond.
"Get in," Miss Pham ordered.
I did as she asked and was a bit stunned.

Miss Pham was wearing a super revealing dress for an investor meeting.
"Ummm, exactly what investor are you meeting at this hour?" I asked a bit confused.
