My eyes slowly focused, and the first thing I saw was the collar of a crisp white shirt.My gaze drifted up, settling on a man's strong jawline. Turned out it was Derek.Just like that, any hope I had fizzled out.Well, it made sense. Dad was still out cold in the hospital. How could he possibly show up here?"Why were you bleeding from your nose earlier?" Derek's voice snapped me back to reality.I didn't expect that of all things, he would start with that.Just when I was pondering how to reply, I caught a whiff of some unfamiliar shower gel on him.I couldn't help but think of what might have happened between him and Daphne last night. Feeling a tightness in my chest, I struggled out of his embrace."I bumped my nose before, and Holly hit it right on that old wound," I calmly replied.Derek gazed at me, like he was trying to catch me in a lie.I met his gaze head-on, asking, "What? You don't believe it? Didn't yRelated chapters

Tabitha's POVThanks to the Suttons, I could finally leave Derek's side.Though we were in the same company, as an ordinary employee in the Sales Department, I barely crossed paths with him.The only bummer was, after leaving the Secretary Department, I couldn't get close to those secretaries, which totally went against my reason for joining the company.Now, I had to count on Lucian, hoping his trip turned up more useful dirt.Just as I was deep in thought, a sigh reached my ears. "Damn, why's it always me handing in the planning proposal?"I turned around and found it was Emma, a colleague from Group C where I worked."What's wrong?" I wondered.With a frustrated look, she told me, "It's time to submit the planning proposal. But our group was at the bottom last month. I can't even bring myself to step into the Secretary Department. If I run into Alvin, I'll definitely be scared out of my wits.""Is Alvin that scary?" I asked, all curiou

Tabitha's POVI was so unlucky these days. Nothing went smoothly.I went to the Secretary Department, and when I came back, my colleagues mobbed me. They accused me with particularly harsh words.Trying my best to remain calm, I said, "I didn't even see Mr. Greenwood in person. All I did was hand the proposal to the Secretary Department. How could I possibly upset him?""Nothing ever happened when any of us submitted the proposals. Yet he's upset this time. Drop the act. You can't get away with this," they kept blaming me. Obviously, they were gonna throw me under the bus.So, this was the so-called workplace, where scheming phonies gathered.Sonia said with a stern face, "Tabitha, your probation period is three months. If you want my signature, you know what to do. Right?""Yeah." I knew what she meant; they wanted me to take the blame.The elevator doors opened, and Alvin walked out.Upon seeing him, Sonia turned nervous at once.A

Tabitha's POVIn fact, deep down, everyone knew I had nothing to do with the failure of the proposal.Yet I refused to cooperate, which annoyed Sonia.She'd give me a hard time if I didn't quit.I was just a newcomer, whereas my colleague had worked here for years. Of course, they wouldn't offend Sonia because of me. So, they tacitly isolated me.They wanted to force me to quit in this way.Since they weren't gonna treat me as a friend, of course, they wouldn't be nice to me."My, my. Tabitha, still water runs deep indeed. You're so good at pretending. I thought you were meek, yet it turns out you've got some balls to mess with Ms. Mendoza.""Think about it. She gets to be part of us by pulling strings. Of course, someone's backing her up. We're nothing in her eyes."I looked at Emma slowly. "You know that? Then who gave you the nerve to disrespect me? Aren't you worried there'll be consequences?"In the next second, everyone in the

Tabitha's POVI stood in the stall, continuing to listen to their conversation."We'll trade Tabitha for the collaboration. As long as we sign the contract, we get to surpass Group B.""If I were Tabitha, I would stay invisible. She's just a newcomer. She shouldn't have shown off at all. We all used to be newcomers, and none of us were like her. The second she arrived, she talked back to Ms. Mendoza. Does she think she's better than us?""Maybe there is someone backing her up.""Yeah, right. Ms. Mendoza has already looked into her. Alvin doesn't have a girlfriend at all. In fact, no woman ever gets to be near him. Who could possibly back her up?"Their laughter gradually faded away, and only then did I come out of the stall.Sonia wanted to trade me? Yeah, she wished.Sneering, I washed my hands in the sink.As I was wiping my hands, I saw a janitor next to me sorting through the trash.I approached her and asked friendly, "Excuse me

Tabitha's POV"Mr. Watson, I'm so sorry. We invited you for dinner, yet you arrived earlier than us. To show how sincere I am, I'm gonna make sure tonight's dinner satisfies you," Sonia said.Harry smiled, "It's my honor to wait for you, elegant ladies. Well, this one looks unfamiliar. Could you introduce her?"Sonia quickly smiled fawningly, "My bad. Mr. Watson, this is Tabitha. She has joined us only recently. Tabitha, what are you waiting for? Why don't you say hello to Mr. Watson?"Harry was probably in his forties. Similar to many middle-aged men, he was with a greasy appearance and a big belly.He squinted his eyes and sized me up from head to toe.His gaze bugged me a lot."Mr. Watson," I greeted casually.He immediately reached out, wanting to pull me over. "Tabitha, come sit here."I sat down in a seat that was relatively far from the main seat before he could touch my hand.Seeing his awkwardly extended hand in mid-air and

Tabitha's POVWidening her eyes, Sonia stared at me, finding my words hard to believe. "Tabitha, are you here to work or to study? You're kinda pretty, which is why I'm still standing here teaching you instead of leaving. We're in sales, and flexibility is what we need. You despise the chance? You know what? Countless people would fight for it. I'll be straight with you. Mr. Watson came here because of you tonight. Spend the night with him and get us the contract. If so, we get to surpass Group B, and you don't have to quit. It'll be a win-win situation."I found her words ridiculous. "Selling my body out in exchange for an achievement? Yeah, I don't think so.""Fine. You think this is below you? Tell you what? If you can't please Mr. Watson today, by the end of the month, we'll both be doomed. Different from you, I'll be scolded at most. You? You can kiss your job goodbye.""Whatever." I didn't even bother to argue.Sonia grabbed my hand, looking disappoint

Tabitha's POV"I already gave you plenty of time today." Derek's voice was deep and a bit unfathomable.I could feel his eyes on me, just like all those countless nights we used to share.Panicking, I watched him take off his clothes till only a shirt was left.Slowly and unhurriedly, he unbuttoned his shirt.The lights of the room lit up, and I saw his bare chest, which was nothing but familiar to me.His chest once fascinated me. I knew better than anyone how good his figure was.It had been a long time since I enjoyed such a view, and still, it managed to take my breath away.Derek used his fingers to brush across my face. "You said yourself. Even if I stand in front of you showing my eight-pack, you still won't give a shit."Utterly embarrassed, I bit my lip. Sure enough, he heard what I said. I hastily turned my head away, trying not to look at him, yet my body betrayed me. My gaze fell on his chest uncontrollably."Don't you wa

Tabitha's POVDerek came off as omnipotent as if he could effortlessly control the life and death of mortals.On the contrary, I was just a nobody. He could easily crush me in the blink of an eye.Even his voice was supremely proud."You see, whether you are happy or not doesn't change anything. What matters is that you still don't get to change what I wanna do just like the old times."He thought he got to do anything however he wanted? How unscrupulous! His words made me instinctively wanna go against him."Derek, I've changed. The Tabitha who loved you unreservedly is dead."I reached out and pushed his body away."What is it? You begged me not to divorce you before, and now you won't even let me touch you?"The more I struggled, the more furious he became. Even his face was burning with anger.In terms of strength, I was no match for him at all, which irritated me a lot. The cold glass in front of me contrasted with his burning b

Just hope you won't regret this later. Mom, let's go."This statement was obviously a threat.Ambrose grabbed both of their hands. "Today, as long as I'm here, I won't let you leave.

Third person's POVZander's words made even the eloquent Ambrose turn to look at him. "What did you say?""Dad, Derek was caught in the explosion, and there's been no sign of him since. It's highly likely that he's passed away," Zander said, delivering the harsh truth in the gentlest tone possible.Everyone present was stunned.

Between sobs, she said, "Ambrose, I thought that once you divorced, if I raised Zander well and managed the household, your father would eventually see my sincerity. But after all these years, we're still outsiders. Let's just go. We're not welcome here."Ambrose was brimming with anger at Phoebe's instigation, even though Andrea hadn't said anything yet.As he helped Zander up, he blurted out, "Why are you leaving? If anyone should be leaving, it's them!"
