Filling In the Wrong Shoes Chapter 8
The content was just as unoriginal.In summary, it boiled down to one sentence.That I would regret it.What a joke. I had long been regretting it.Not for what I did, but for ever being blind enough to fall for such a fool.After thoughtfully blocking Sabrina's new number, I entered the CEO's office. And with that, my working day commenced.I must admit—I really must, but being the big boss felt exponentially more satisfying than being a designer.Before, I used to break my back running around at everyone's beck and call.Today, I got to experience the thrill of being the bossy client everyone dreaded.Sabrina's antics, though, continued to shock me to the core.I'd imagined countless ways she might try to salvage Avery's reputation. I thought she might try to marry him and leverage Langford Group's PR for damage control, and so on.I didn't expect that lunatic to take Avery's version of the design plan and make it Langford Group's new project.Her thought process was simp

I immediately presented the relevant proof.Sabrina was instantly silenced.Before she could come up with another excuse, the results of the re-inspection I had requested came in.The new project design by Langford Group had issues and was not suitable for construction.This time, it no longer mattered how much saliva Sabrina wasted on explaining. Her words fell on deaf ears.Faced with furious public backlash, Sabrina's father made a decisive move. He dumped all the blame on Avery.Avery was detained and faced the possibility of a death sentence.No matter how much Sabrina pleaded with her father, it was to no avail.Even Langford Group wasn't spared, with their stock plummeting overnight. I seized the opportunity to purchase a majority of their shares. With that, I became their largest shareholder.Within a week, Langford Group was completely overhauled and rebranded under Chapman Corp's name.When I appeared at the new company's handover ceremony, Sabrina finally snapped

"Go and ask the baby's father to take responsibility. Why are you after me?"Despite my advice, Sabrina insisted that the child was mine. She refused to leave the lobby, threatening to bash her head against the wall if I didn't take responsibility."Yarrow Chapman, you caused my family's bankruptcy and put my father in hospital. I don't blame you for that, but you cannot deny this child! We've been together for seven years, and we're engaged. You can't just cast me aside like trash. How are you any different from a heartless betrayer?"I almost laughed out loud at her absurd accusations.Yes, I had been dating Sabrina for seven years, and we were engaged.It was Avery's appearance three years ago, however, that marked the birth of the distance between us.Not to mention that she was constantly spending time with him in the past six months. So much so that we hardly ever saw each other.With a stern face, I told her, "Stay if you want, but the child isn't mine. Stop throwing dirt

"Yarrow Chapman, why have you copied my designs?"In front of everyone, Avery Zane accused me of plagiarizing his designs.Before I could explain, my fiancée, Sabrina Langford, beat me to it and stepped forward."Yarrow, I can understand your desire to win this competition," she began. "However, plagiarism is disgraceful. You can't take someone else's work and present it as your own, can you?"She spoke with such heartbreak, as though I had truly committed an unforgivable sin.But only she and I knew how many sleepless nights I had spent on that design, nearly burning out several computers in the process.Yet, the day before the deadline, she stole my design draft while I rested and handed it to her beloved senior.It was all to help him win the prestigious Golden Zenith Design Award.We had been the picture of a perfect couple, celebrated as the golden pair of our academy. Naturally, no one would doubt her words.Faced with the pointing fingers and whispers around me, I was t

Before she could ask further, I added, "I'm going home."The confusion whirling in my mother's head instantly turned to sheer joy."That's wonderful! Yaz, you've finally come to your senses!"I'll get a driver to pick you up right away!"I nodded and hung up the phone, feeling an immense sense of relief.My family's resources were no less impressive than Sabrina's, if not more so.But for the sake of her love for creative arts, I gave up my original pursuit of a finance degree. Instead, I transferred to a design major, dedicating seven years of my life to it.In those seven years—through undergrad, master's, and doctoral studies—I won award after award for my designs. I even personally handled several projects that the Langford Group won bids for.I thought I was devoted to Sabrina, but never did I once expect her betrayal in return.I took a deep breath and grabbed my computer, prepared to return it to the institute.

"Thank you for your kind offer, but I must decline."I was about to leave again after rejecting her proposal, but she shouted after me."Yarrow! Why are you so stubborn?"Fine! If you dare step out that door today, we're breaking up!"In the seven years we'd been together, Sabrina had threatened a breakup innumerable times.And every time, it was me groveling to win her back.She acted high and mighty like a princess, issuing commands at will and completely disregarding my feelings.But this was it. I was tired and fed up.Without hesitation, I replied, "Sure."Then, under Sabrina's flabbergasted gaze, I walked out and hailed a cab.At the design institute, I handed in my computer.Ms. Sutton looked rather surprised.The instructor adjusted her gold-rimmed glasses before speaking with feigned warmth, "Yarrow, I heard about what happened this morning."It's not that big of a deal, and no one blames you for it. It's not worth resigning over."Her words sounded ever so tende

"Yarrow, let me tell you, no school would accept a student with such a tarnished record as yours.""Exactly," Avery chimed in. "If I remember correctly, Yarrow, you're in an integrated bachelor's, master's, and PhD program, right? With such a blemish on your records, you might as well forget about the PhD. All your previous studies would be in vain."The three of them smirked in unison. The confidence on their faces told me they expected me to bow to their demands and follow the path they had laid out for me.Looking at them, I suddenly had a change of heart."Alright, let's do it then."Sabrina's face lit up with joy, though she upheld her air of superiority."That's more like it.""Do well, Yarrow. I've already spoken to my dad. Once the competition is over, we'll get married, and he'll arrange a position for you in his company."Ms. Sutton also gave me her word that I would graduate on time.But, by then, none of it mattered to me anymore....There were less than 24 hour

By the time the morning sunlight hit my face, I had arrived home safely.My mother had prepared a spread in anticipation of my arrival.As the aroma of Mom's cooking wafted through the air, it dawned on me that I was finally home.After feasting to my heart's content, I flopped onto a soft bed, indulging in a rare moment of relaxation.In the past, my relationship with my family had become strained because I was dating Sabrina.Sabrina was extravagant and reckless with money.To keep her from feeling deprived, I worked tirelessly on design drafts to earn some bucks. Over the past seven years, I had left little to no time for myself.Now, I could finally live for myself.Frankly, this felt incredible!Meanwhile, Sabrina was still bombarding my phone with messages.When the calls didn't go through, she resorted to texting.The content was pretty much similar."Yarrow, where are you?""Get back here now!""Don't pretend to be missing!

Left with no other choice, I blocked her.And just like that, peace returned to my world.For the next few days, I indulged in pure enjoyment.One day in Liora Island, the next in the city of Aquaven; I was having the time of my life.Previously, I had only paid for Sabrina to experience things while I skimped on myself. But now, I was ticking things off my bucket list—bungee jumping and skydiving, just for a start.Lying on a beach in a foreign land and enjoying the sea breeze, I couldn't help but sigh.This was the life a rich kid like me should be living.I felt fulfilled.Far away, Sabrina and Avery weren't doing half bad either.Avery, especially, was trapped in the eye of the plagiarism scandal. Every day, he would awaken to people hounding him, demanding to know if he really plagiarized.The harassment left him visibly haggard, as he could hardly get a good night's sleep.Out of pity for him, Sabrina stepped forward to clear his name.She even misled the media, shari

She lifted the controller to change the channel, but I stopped her."Why change it? Let's watch."My mom stammered, unable to form a coherent sentence.After a long pause, she finally asked, "Yaz, did something happen at school?"Back when I was working on "Spring's Glory, Autumn's Harvest", there was one particular detail I couldn't decide on. To help my case, I secretly consulted a designer who had previously worked for my family's company.Along the way, my mother found out. Since then, she would proactively send me design suggestions to use as references.It was during that time that our strained relationship began to ease up.I knew I couldn't hide the truth from her for long, so I admitted it outright."My design was stolen.""What?" My mother instantly blew up. She sprung up from her seat, completely ignoring the show now."Who would do such a thing? I'm calling the organizing committee right now to demand their disqualification!"How dare they plagiarize my son's wor
