He Wants Two Wives She Wants a Divorce novel Chapter 16

Who she might've offended? Leon was the only person Victoria could think of.

No one else could have the ability to meddle in her interviews.

She anxiously grabbed her phone and called him as her hatred for him reached its peak.

"Hello, who's this?" A flat emotionless voice answered. It was the secretary.

Victoria was utterly confused. She glanced at the number she'd dialed and confirmed it was Leon's private number. Why had his secretary answered?

"Victoria speaking. I need to speak to Leon." She had no time to dwell on it. Right now, she just wanted answers.

The secretary glanced at Leon, who was seated in his chair. After receiving his silent instruction, she unhurriedly replied, "Mr. Quigley is in a meeting, and it ends in two hours. If you have a message, I can relay it for you."

"He's right next to you," Victoria firmly stated. Leon would never give anyone his private phone, not even his secretary.

The secretary instinctively looked toward Leon, who took the phone and motioned for her to leave.

It was only after she left that he said, "I thought my secretary's response would make it clear that I don't want to take your calls."

"If you hadn't ruined my job search, I wouldn't have called you either," Victoria bluntly replied. Then, she questioned, "Why did you make sure I was rejected from every job?"

"What job?" he asked.

"Drop the act."

"If you were rejected, you should reflect on whether you're qualified instead of putting the blame on me. You've been out of the workforce for five years, and it makes sense for employers to reject you," Leon coldly said.

Victoria didn't believe a word of it. "Are you seriously saying you didn't interfere?"
