Chapter 401

There were many red circles on the entire calendar. From a distance, they looked like red flowers.I did not realize when it happened, but I had become the focus of Zach’s life. About 80% of his to-do list for the month involved me.Was I touched by this?No.I put the calendar back and relaxed in his chair.It was comfortable. I should ask him where he got it and buy one for myself.Zach returned with the water and handed me the cup with a straw. It reminded me of that time in Madrid.I had a question, so while I was drinking, I asked, “Why did you go to Madrid back then?”“You were in trouble. How could I not go?” he replied without hesitation.I finished the water in silence and gave him back the cup. “Thanks.”After that, we continued looking at the map. He placed a pillow on my lower back so that I would be more comfortable.Zach had always been thoughtful and considerate.At lunchtime, Hailey brought the food.I had a good nose. As soon as she brought it in, I could

Chapter 402

It was 3 p.m. when I left Yonder Trading.We had not finished going through the blueprints, but my eyes were too tired to keep going.I joked that if I kept looking at them, I would end up dying on the papers.I stopped by Oscar’s office to quickly update him on the Cameron Hill project.Since it was part of Freeman Corporation’s plan for the second half of the year, Oscar had no objections.We talked for a bit, and I planned to have my dad call Oscar in the next few days. After that, we would sign the contract. I had to offer him this courtesy.Older guys like Oscar were about to retire, so they did not have big goals anymore. As long as they received a nice retirement package or got rehired, they would be happy.Oscar just wanted respect. If I gave him that, everything would be fine.When I returned to my office, I was surprised to see a new chair there. I took a closer look and found it familiar.“Where did this chair come from?” I asked Benjamin.“Mr. Gordon’s people deli

Chapter 403

“I don’t dislike a lot of people. Does that mean I should date all of them?”I just looked out the window.“Cassia, there’s a new place selling buffalo wings on Commercial Street. Do you want to give it a try?”“I don’t feel like eating something spicy.”“I’ll get you dessert.”Sophie loved buffalo wings and ate them everywhere.Mr. Pepper parked the car at the corner of the street because he could not drive any further. So, Sophie and I walked hand-in-hand toward the new buffalo wings place. It was a long walk because it was on the far end.On a separate note, I had not been shopping in a while. I just did not have the time.There was a store we used to love years ago. It sold cute, girly clothes. I did not know when exactly, but one day, I just decided that they were too childish.I looked at the store as we walked by. I was about to turn away when I saw a familiar figure.A tall and slim girl was walking out of the store with her hands full of shopping bags.Lucy?She

Chapter 404

Shortly after, the waiter brought us two iced teas with lots of ice.Sophie finished hers and shivered from the cold.She finally calmed down and looked at me in frustration. “Why did you pull me away? I should’ve slapped her.”“Why should you hit her? You’re not with Austin. Why do you care? Even if Lucy cheats on him with a hundred men, it’s none of your business.”My words made her realize her situation, and she stared at me. “Oh, yeah.”“Also, you’re the deputy manager of Freeman Corporation’s branch now. You’re not in the same position as you were before. You can’t just go around cursing and fighting.”Sophie sighed and hid her face in her hands.I knew that she was upset. She could not move on from Austin.While she was in her feelings, I quietly ordered a bunch of my favorite food.Since the place sold buffalo wings, I ordered some wings and fries. When Sophie finally looked up, she saw the huge platter of wings and complained again, “What’s this? Some kind of soggy mes

Chapter 405

Sophie and I sat on either side of Lucy to keep her from escaping.She looked nervous. She did not expect us to be so tough and react like that.Her voice wavered. “L-Let’s just forget about it, okay?”“Oh, don’t back down now. Weren’t you so confident a minute ago?” Sophie sneered.“Mr. Pepper, take us to Austin’s house.”The car started moving, and Lucy squirmed between us. However, there was no way she was getting away.On our way, she kept insisting that she had only been joking. She begged us not to take it seriously.We ignored her. When we arrived at Austin’s house, we dragged her out of the car. He was home since we could see the lights in the living room as we walked through the garden.Lucy started to panic. She was probably afraid that Austin would throw her out. His big, comfortable house was a far cry from being on the streets.She smiled and tried to sweet-talk us, “Come on, don’t do this. I was wrong, okay? I’ll cut ties with that guy and be completely loyal

Chapter 406

Austin’s smile was cruel. How should I describe him? He was a calm person who did not show care or hatred to anyone. He was just distant all the time.Yet, at this moment, his smile at Sophie was unexpectedly cruel.I could instantly feel how harsh it was.Sophie’s face turned red, but Austin’s next words made her go pale.“You think you have something on Lucy? I don’t care if she cheats on me.”Sophie bit her lip and finally said, “So, I’m just sticking my nose where it doesn’t belong?”Austin slowly turned off the TV and tossed the remote on the table. As he started to walk upstairs, he said coldly, “Lucy says you’re a backup. Well, you’re not even that. A backup has a chance to be useful, but not you. Lucy isn’t the only one for me. After I kick her out, there will be someone else, but it will never be you, Sophie.”After that, he went up the stairs and turned to look at Sophie. His cold gaze felt like a sharp arrow straight through her heart.I was angry too. I had ne

Chapter 407

She must have made up her mind to shout those words at Austin.Suddenly, Austin’s cold voice came from upstairs. “That’s for the best.”I could almost hear Sophie’s heart breaking.If he had not said that, she would not have been so hurt.I quickly got Sophie out of Austin’s house and into the car outside.She curled up in the backseat and hugged her knees.Mr. Pepper looked at me in shock. “What happened to her?”“Just drive, Mr. Pepper. Take us home,” I softly said.“Okay.” Mr. Pepper started the car and drove toward the gate.Sophie did not speak for a long time.I opened my thermos and offered it to her. The red tea smelled good.She took it, but she just held it in her hands.When would we stop getting hurt by men?“Cassia,” she finally said in a hoarse voice.“Yeah.” I nodded. “What is it?”“Have you ever eaten fruit that’s been frozen in temperatures below minus 40 degrees?”Huh? Why was she talking about fruit?I shook my head. “No.”“I’ve had freeze-dried str

Chapter 408

It was not a bad thing for Sophie to give up on Austin.She cried all night. Even though the wall separated us, I could still faintly hear her sobs. It was heartbreaking.I had no choice but to knock on her door, and she opened it with swollen eyes.I sighed. “Let’s sleep together.”“Are you a masochist?” She let me in.“I can’t sleep anyway. We might as well be close while you cry.”She wiped her eyes. “I don’t want to cry, but the tears just keep coming. Cassia, am I pathetic?”“Of course not. Even gods have been troubled by love.” I comforted her. “Why don’t we go out this weekend? I’ll take you around.”“What if you go into labor on the road?”“It won’t happen that soon. There’s still some time before my due date. Can you wish me well?”Sophie rested her head on my shoulder. “Cassia, let’s run away and travel the world. People in novels do that and live cool lives.”“You can’t be serious? Austin messed with your head so much that you’ve lost all faith in love?”“You wou

Chapter 409

Well, as long as Sophie was happy, she could do whatever she wanted.On the way to Freeman Corporation, she said, “I’m not coming home for dinner tonight. Kingston and I are going to the tech expo.”“Okay,” I replied. “Have fun.”“Cassia, if things work out between me and him and you get on Mr. Hanson’s good side, will you call me your hero?”“When people succeed, the first thing they do is get rid of the heroes so that they don’t steal their spotlight. Don’t you know that?”“Whatever.” She pressed her face against the cold car window and stared outside. Her eyes were still puffy, so I dug through my bag and handed her some eye patches.She asked, “What’s this?”“Use them during your lunch break. Don’t scare Kingston.”When we got to the office, Benjamin brought me tea. I took a sip as I logged into the system.Benjamin had already figured out my routine. I did the same thing at the same time every day. He was sharp, and I liked that. Once my dad returned to Freeman Corporat

Chapter 410

No wonder Zach looked like he wanted to throw up every time he saw me back then.He thought that to impress him, I had asked someone to steal his trade secrets and made Tyler lose faith in him. It looked like I wrecked his career and showed up to “save the day.”I would never do something that would hurt me as much as it hurts others.It was way too cruel.I kept quiet for a while, so Zach continued, “I ran into Steven yesterday. He told me that you bought the research from him. You were going to give it to me, but someone else got to it first, so you didn’t bring it up.”“Would it change anything if I told you?”“I misunderstood. I thought…” He hesitated.“Heh.” I laughed. “Zach, we’ve known each other since we were kids, but you’ve never bothered to understand me.”“I’m sorry,” he said softly.His apology did not mean much. It was too late for that.“Alright, we’ll sign the contract once you’re back. I’m hanging up.”“Cassia,” he called my name again. “I’m sorry, Cassia. I
