Overdue Love Chapter 6
The first video showed Ian trudging into the office looking rather dejected while the surrounding colleagues gossiped among themselves. Elaine had approached him to comfort him, but as soon as she placed a hand on him, he shoved it away.Elaine's eyes instantly reddened. With an aggrieved expression, she said, "I know you're in a bad mood, Ian. I just wanted to comfort you. Belle didn't bother to consider how you guys would feel when she decided to leave without even saying a word."However, Ian's expression instantly darkened, and the look in his eyes made Elaine back away in fear."You have no right to comment on anything Belle does. Get out of my sight!" Ian roared before slamming his office door shut with a bang.Elaine was left outside feeling humiliated. She had always loved pestering Ian, and many people assumed she had a special relationship with him. Thus, whenever she ordered the others around and assigned her own work to others, they would just bear with it in silence.
Overdue Love Chapter 7
Before the meeting started, Ian stopped me and secretly handed me some information. Looking at me with lingering affection and regret, he said, "This information will ensure that you secure the rights to the national distribution channel."He left after saying that. I took a look at the document he handed me. It was filled with confidential information, including the company's lowest offer and market reports.I never thought that someone as principled as Ian would actually commit corporate espionage. Either way, I didn't bother using the information he gave me. He didn't know that I no longer needed the help he presumptuously tossed my way.Throughout the meeting, Ian kept staring at me, staying quiet the whole time. The negotiation team on his side was livid. Even Otis was grinding his teeth.Ignoring Ian's unprofessional attitude, I pushed forward in the negotiation without showing any interest in compromising. In the end, I succeeded in claiming the rights to the national distri
Overdue Love Chapter 8
After hearing what I said, Ian didn't know if he should laugh or cry. He croaked out, "That means we could've ended up together. I thought you didn't like me. That's why I approached Elaine. I wanted to make you jealous, but things got out of hand. Elaine kept reminding me of you, so I found all sorts of excuses to explain why I was being nice to her."Every time I saw you feeling hurt and upset, I felt bad too. But at the same time, I was consumed by a peculiar feeling. I wanted to see you feeling hurt and getting jealous because of me. I never thought you'd actually leave."Elaine couldn't take it any longer. She slapped Ian in the face, screeching, "So what if you were using me? I've been using you too! You're screwed now, Ian! Mr. Thornton is going to fire you. Go ahead and check the office group chat to see for yourself. You've lost everything now!"However, Ian didn't care. He continued to wallow in his anguish.Elaine glared at me resentfully. "Why must I be your subordinate
Overdue Love Chapter 9
Cameron brought me back to the orphanage. Strips of cloth hung from the oak tree. They were filled with the wishes of the children living at the orphanage. At the end of each strip was a small bell that rang each time the wind blew.Beside the tree were small brick flower beds filled with roses and sunflowers.Cameron reached out and stroked each bell. He looked like a walking corpse whose soul had been sucked out, leaving nothing but bitterness and sorrow behind.His voice was choked as he said, "After you left, I searched for ages without ever finding your bell, so I tied a bell to every single strip of cloth here. That way, it's as though you've never left. It's as if you simply returned to the orphanage."For a long time after you left, I kept thinking I did no wrong. I stubbornly believed you were the one who'd changed. But later on. I found out the truth about what happened at the cold storage. It was then that I slowly saw Elaine's true colors and started suspecting the trut
Overdue Love Chapter 1
While I was inspecting the factory before signing the contract, Elaine Stone, the new assistant the company hired for me, locked me in the cold storage.By the time I was rescued, my clothes were stuck to my skin. I was on my period, and my blood had soaked through my skirt.My hands were also bruised and bloodied from the way I'd pounded on the door. Parts of my knuckle bones could even be seen. It was a gruesome sight.Cameron Hodge and Ian Nash were two of my closest childhood friends who had always cared deeply about me, but when they saw that, they swiftly covered Elaine's eyes. Both sported looks of disdain.When I regained consciousness, I found out that the business deal I had worked so hard to close had been handed over to Elaine while I was unconscious.Cameron and Ian even handed me a pre-prepared release of liability agreement and asked me to sign it."Thanks to the incident with the cold storage, you've damaged the company's image," Cameron declared icily. "Since you
Overdue Love Chapter 2
When Elaine had locked me in the cold storage, Cameron and Ian had been standing right behind her and saw everything.Ian wanted to open the door for me, but Elaine gripped his sleeve and cried out tearfully, "I really need to get this deal, Ian. Belle is too good at her job. If I continue working for her, I'll always be under her shadow. I'll only be able to prove myself if I get to close this deal."In the end, his hand paused. Even though he could hear my heart-wrenching pleas for help, he hesitated.He had always been a caring and meticulous person. He knew when my period was. He also knew my condition. My menstruation cramps were so intense that they would often make me feel faint.Therefore, whenever my period came around, Ian would always prepare some nourishing food for me and other supplies that would help me feel better.He once said, "I'll take good care of your health. You're a little klutz who never knows how to look out for herself."But this time, he abandoned me i
Overdue Love Chapter 3
All of a sudden, the door flew open, and Elaine came rushing over in tears.She kneeled in front of my bed and bowed, saying, "I'm so sorry, Belle! It's all my fault! I had no clue the door to the cold storage would lock by itself. I was just desperate to get a chance to prove myself. I didn't want to be considered an airhead anymore."She grabbed my hand and started slapping herself with it. Even more tears streamed down her face as she declared, "Go ahead and hit me! I won't be able to live with my guilt otherwise. You can even lock me in the cold storage if that makes you feel better."Elaine was gripping my wound. Her nails dug deep into my flesh, and the pain made me push her away. She immediately stumbled backward, but Cameron and Ian both grabbed her before she fell to the floor.Being quick to anger, Cameron immediately rebuked me, "I already told you that Elaine didn't do it on purpose! What more do you want? You're fine, aren't you?"Even Ian was eyeing me coldly as he d
Overdue Love Chapter 4
Initially, Ian detested Elaine for being a very clumsy intern. He couldn't stand her at all.However, she was a bubbly person who seemed incapable of getting upset. She would always hover around him and pepper him with questions.Ian looked stern when he didn't smile, so whenever he ended up making her cry, I was the one who comforted her.I even foolishly introduced Elaine to Cameron, and when they first met, she specifically brought him a gift.It was a model car, which was a favorite of his. She had heard me mention it before, so she bought one specifically for him.However, Cameron tossed it into the trash and held me close as he declared, "I will only accept gifts from Belle. We're childhood sweethearts. I won't let anyone else into my life."That day, Elaine left in the rain with her eyes red, but I didn't miss the slight flicker of remorse in Cameron's eyes when I looked back at him.Elaine didn't give up, and I continued my efforts to help them get along—until the day I

Overdue Love Chapter 5
When Ian heard the robotic voice informing him that the number couldn't be reached, the uneasy feeling in his heart intensified. He didn't even realize that his hand was starting to shake.Over the next few days, he kept calling the number he could memorize by heart, and each unanswered call made him feel even more defeated. His initial nonchalance soon turned into fear.Ian lit up a cigarette, but even as the cigarette ash fell onto his pants, he didn't move.Annoyed by Ian's display, Cameron tried to call Belle too, but he ended up with the same outcome.Expression grim, he growled, "She's got quite the nerve, alright. Where can she go anyway? I can't believe she's resorting to running away from home at her age."However, Ian's eyes were bloodshot, and his voice was shaky as he asked, "Cameron, do you think it's possible that the game Belle mentioned is real?"Cameron's face stiffened briefly before he let out a snort. "She can't be without us. I bet she only said that in a mom
