Goodbye, Summer: Love Has Come and Gone Chapter 3
Where there were people, there was also bound to be drama. Even at the prestigious Riveria Group, gossip was inevitable and bountiful.It seemed as if they'd somehow heard about Gaston telling me to resign from the company yesterday. Their eyes were filled with doubt, curiosity, and even contempt.Just as I thought, Gaston was an annoying CEO indeed."Mr. Sommar, bring me some coffee."My intercom sounded just then with just a cold, curt command from Brooke.I made her usual cup of coffee with much familiarity and brought it into her office. I was also planning to report the day's schedule to her in the meantime.Brooke looked at the black coffee before her and frowned slightly. She then glanced at me, but seeing that I didn't look the least bit shaken, she got even more frustrated than ever.I knew what she meant, but I didn't want to acknowledge it.Brooke had a weak stomach and often suffered from gastritis. I used to care for her health and often made her nutritious food, o

I didn't let the smile on my face falter. "Of course, money is important. I need to survive, after all."Actually…"Gaston suddenly barged in with a wide grin on his face and interrupted Brooke's sentence with, "Brooke, come with me to…""To do what?"Brooke was unexceptionally sweet and gentle with her future fiancè. She didn't speak to him condescendingly or with sarcasm like she did with me."Do you want to come ring shopping with me? And then, we'll look at the outfits later.""Sure!" Brooke answered in her gentle voice. Then, she glanced at me and said, "Mr. Sommar, you should come along too.""I… sure."I was frustrated. I still had a lot of work to do. Still, there was nothing I could do. I was just a lowly corporate employee under her, after all.Gaston raised his eyebrow and glared at me with a challenging look on his face. Then, he put his arm around Brooke and happily walked out of the office.She'd just reached the entrance when she suddenly turned around and commanded, "Al

"What are you thinking about? You've been staring at Gaston for a long time," Brooke said in dissatisfaction. "I've been calling your name for ages.""It's nothing. Mr. Storm looks very handsome in a suit," I said while hurriedly suppressing my emotions.Everything that had happened was in the past, anyway. Brooke was now nothing more than my boss and employer."I agree. He's very handsome indeed!"Brooke stood right next to me as she continued showering Gaston with praises. "Gaston comes from an affluent family, is very highly educated, and very capable. I'm so lucky to be able to marry someone like him!"I smiled bitterly.What was she trying to do? Why did she have to speak about him like this to me? What was she trying to prove?"Hey, talk to me if you're going to praise me. Why are you telling Mr. Sommar in particular?""Because Mr. Sommar has a great eye for things like these!" Brooke then looked at me and purposely asked, "Am I not right?""Of course. Mr. Storm and your

"I'm afraid I don't understand, Ms. Rivers. Didn't you personally agree to accompany Mr. Storm to pick out your wedding outfits?"Brooke just looked at me in fury. "Wonderful, Theros, just wonderful! You'd better submit the proposal for Storm Group to me before you go home today!"I had only just received the task yesterday, and she was already asking for it today. Moreover, there were less than two hours left until the end of the work day.I looked at her calmly and said, "Brooke, you're also doing this on purpose.""How much longer do you need for the proposal?""I'll work overtime today.""Theros, you've changed.""How have I changed?" I asked despite knowing the answer."You…"I guess she wanted to say that I didn't love her anymore.However, if she put it that way, it meant that she clearly knew I had been in love with her all along. Yet, she'd used my love for her to her advantage. She had treated my sincerity like trash.But Brooke didn't even have the guts to admit i

It was Brooke, and she was glaring at me angrily.Daisy stood next to me. "Who are you? I'm kissing my husband here, so what does it have anything to do with you?""Husband?" Brooke's eyes were filled with disbelief.Awkwardly, I tugged on Daisy and introduced them to each other. "This is my boss, Brooke Rivers. Brooke, this is my wife, Daisy Meadows."Brooke laughed coldly. "Theros, what's the point of taking a joke this far? Getting a random bitch to lie to me? Oh, how creative of you!"Did Brooke really think that I'd never give up on her?"Well then, take a look at this!" Daisy said. She showed off our marriage license.I was shocked when I saw the document in her hands. Why was Daisy bringing around our marriage license with her?"Just take a look at this if you don't believe us. It's a legal document that proves our marriage is legitimate," Daisy said, looking proud of it. Shen then carefully tucked the document away in her breast pocket. She treated it like it was a very preciou

I requested a few days of sick leave. When I finally went back to work, I calmly told Brooke about my marriage.Back then, she just laughed nonchalantly and said, "Theros, you're stooping to new lows with your actions."So, she thought that I was capable of using my marriage to threaten her."Stop making such dumb jokes."This was what Brooke thought of my marriage.Thanks to that incident, I had since started letting go of Brooke. I thought it would be difficult. But after trying to open my heart to Daisy, I realized that letting go was just as easy as exhaling. It felt as if I'd just cleared my chest after the realization, and it felt lovely and refreshing.Daisy's attitude toward me was the same as mine toward Brooke all these years—silent, yet sincere.I had been in Daisy's shoes before, so I knew exactly how she felt. I didn't want to let her down. Also, I didn't want to be pathetic and continue torturing myself. So, I started reciprocating Daisy's feelings. I allowed her t

The sudden change in topic caught me off guard."It's the truth.""Did you do it to get on my nerves?"I smiled bitterly and rather helplessly. Maybe I really had these emotions and intentions when I first got married. After all, I'd been loving Brooke for seven whole years, and it was hard for me to let go of her that quickly.But now, after so many things had happened, things weren't the same anymore."No, it wasn't.""You're lying.""Ms. Rivers, there's no need for me to lie to you about these matters. Also, why would I want to get married just to get on your nerves? Who are you to me? What right do I have to do such a thing to you?""You're blaming me! Theros, you're blaming me!"I sighed as I looked at Brooke, who was starting to lose her composure."Brooke, I'm already married, and you're about to get engaged. Whatever feelings I had for you are now in the past. Let's just go about our lives by ourselves."I set down the documents on her desk and turned to leave."Theros, if I sa

I said in a cold voice, "You don't need to fire me. I will resign on my own."I then calmly took off my work ID and placed it on my table."First of all, I want to say that I have no inappropriate relationship with Ms. Rivers. She is just my superior, and I am just her subordinate."Second of all, I have been married for three years, and I have informed the HR department of it before. If anyone is still curious about it, feel free to check with them."Lastly, I love my wife very much, so please do not simply accuse me of crimes that I did not commit. If anyone starts spreading rumors about me, I will not hesitate to take legal action to protect my rights."After I was done speaking, I left without looking back.Brooke still called out after me. "Theros, stop making a huge fuss…"However, Karen intercepted her and stopped her from trying to make me stay.I stood at the entrance to Riveria Group and looked at the towering skyscraper. I felt a little emotional as I stared up.I b

I knew that Brooke was having a hard time at the Rivers' household. But did that mean I had to suffer alongside her too?Brooke was born an illegitimate daughter to the Rivers family.Although I wasn't the least bit interested in the elite circle's political drama, I still couldn't help paying attention to everything related to Brooke.Karen was a cunning woman. After all, she was a mistress who eventually forced the legitimate wife away and took her place as the lady of the household. However, she always looked down on me and made things difficult for me on purpose.Still, I put up with it for Brooke's sake.However, I was already married at that time. I had also let go of Brooke then. I was just there because I needed to report to Brooke for some work matters, but Karen just kicked me out of the house without reason.Meanwhile, Brooke was weak to her mother's power, so she only watched from the sidelines as I was humiliated by Karen. She silently permitted it.The Rivers' residence w

I never thought that I'd ever meet Gaston again either. This time, I bumped into him at the hospital.However, I was even more surprised to see him there with a pregnant woman.Hadn't he just called off his engagement to Brooke just a while ago?"Don't misunderstand. It wasn't because of Brooke."For some reason, Gaston seemed genuinely friendly and approachable today. He was very drastically different from the rude and overbearing Gaston I knew.He glanced at the pregnancy test results in my hand and said, "Congratulations on being a father!""Thank you," I said, looking at the test results with a smile on my face."But Brooke's mom isn't a force to be reckoned with. You're going to have a lot of hardships in your future."Wait, what did this have anything to do with Brooke? Did he misunderstand something?"Honey, I'm done asking the doctor about the precautions we need to take. Let's go back," Daisy said. She hugged me very gently as if she was porcelain.Gaston was shocked

I didn't think that I would run into Brooke again, and in our residential area at that.Daisy had been honing her culinary skills, and her cooking had been improving day by day. With that, my appetite had also grown a lot.Even though I often complained about it, I still thoroughly enjoyed everything she fed me.While taking a stroll in the park, I caught sight of Brooke. She'd gotten a lot thinner, and her cheekbones seemed to be protruding out.She was dressed rather messily and looked like she was in desolation as she headed straight toward me. However, Daisy stopped her at once.Brooke just laughed coldly and said, "Theros, at the very least, we've known each other for ten years. Can't I even have a word with you now?"I tapped on Daisy's shoulder and said, "What do you want to say?"Brooke then glanced at Daisy. It was obvious that she didn't want an "outsider" around.Come to think of it, I did still have scores to settle with Brooke, so it was perhaps for the best that w

"Don't you want me anymore?"Brooke spoke in a slurred voice, as if she was intoxicated."Brooke, it's late. Go to sleep.""Theros, you still haven't given up on me!" Brooke exclaimed in delight. "See, you're still subconsciously concerned about me! You still want me. You still… You still love me.""Brooke Rivers!" I exclaimed softly, interrupting her sudden giddy monologue. "Thank you for your reminder. I will get rid of this bad habit of mine."I only told you to go to sleep because I didn't want to have anything more to do with you. I also didn't want to wake my wife up.""Theros, must you bring her up? Must you use her to trigger me? Fine! You win, Theros! Divorce her now. I'll give you everything you want. I'll even marry you!"I lowered my head and chuckled bitterly.Marry?Did Brooke actually tell me she wanted to get married to me?We hadn’t even dated before. Whenever I was with her in the past, I had only always been referred to as her personal secretary."Brooke,
