"I... I don't hate you. Come to my car, I'll get you out of here. Just let one of your employees take care of your car," Lawrence said, reaching for my arm again, but I pulled away."I don't need you, Lawrence! I'm done begging you for an explanation! Now it's me who wants you gone! Far, far away from me!" I shouted.My scream didn't make him back off; instead, he started laughing. His laughter threw me off, but what confused me even more was the look in his eyes. It was a look of pure hatred—there was no denying it."If you're tired of begging, doesn't it cross your mind that I'm even more exhausted than you are? I've spent my entire life like this, Sara. I'm the one who's sick of you."Perfect. It was as if he had thrust a spear straight into my chest, piercing through to the other side. I wasn't going to stay silent. If he wanted to destroy everything, all those years of good friendship for the sake of the present, then so be it."Lionel was right. You're just like your parents

Chapter 282

Men were like chocolates to me. It was fun to pick them out, try new flavors, and enjoy plenty of them while the novelty lasted, but after a while, they were all the same—same patterns, same lies, same games. The first rule of relationships was to stay in control. As long as the woman was in charge and prepared for anything, she would be fine.But right now, I was far from fine. I was still in shock from last night. In fact, I found myself touching my lips for the eighth time since I'd been alone in my office. I should have been filling out forms, but I hadn't even made it through half of them.Lawrence and I had kissed.Neither of us was drunk, and neither of us had hated it. We had both enjoyed it, and I had no idea where it would have led if we hadn't been interrupted. I felt adrift, stuck in a surreal, catatonic state. Just a year ago, he'd been my friend. I used to laugh off anyone who paired us together because, to me, friendships between men and women were real.Weren't they

Chapter 283

"Is he family? Are you asking me to consider him for the position?"Elliot sat across from me, looking more nervous than I'd ever seen him. He was actually sweating, which I found quite amusing. I gave him a sly smile."I didn't think you were capable of pulling strings like this.""Please, just consider him. He's a good kid, and it's been hard for him to find a job. Just interview him," he pleaded."What's the family connection? I don't bend the rules for distant relatives," I said, resting my chin on the back of my hand."He's my cousin. Aunt Melanie's son.""Aunt Melanie? The same Aunt Melanie who always remembers my birthday and sends me a hand-knitted sweater?" I asked, both surprised and delighted."Yes, that's her. It's her youngest son," he added, sounding hopeful.Oh, great. I wanted to toy with Elliot a bit more, but mentioning his aunt had ruined my resolve. I'd met his aunt before—she used to be a teacher at one of the schools our charity was involved with. A sweet,

Chapter 284

"Perfect, Miss Brown."-I hated taking orders from anyone, which was why these interviews were such a struggle. None of the candidates had clicked with me—they hadn't left a good impression, and I could already sense they'd be badmouthing me behind my back. Hiring a bodyguard wasn't like hiring a regular 9-to-5 employee. It meant having someone by your side during long shifts in everyday situations. Having a bodyguard was like having a pair of handcuffs around your wrists.I dismissed the second-to-last candidate, feeling drained. I didn't even want to interview the last one—Elliot's cousin—but I forced myself to go through with it. When he walked through the door, his appearance caught me off guard. He looked like Aunt Melanie in male form: brown eyes, chestnut hair, and thick eyebrows on a friendly face.He held out his hand, and I shook it. His hand was cold and clammy, and I suspected it wasn't the only part of him sweating."Are you alright, Jason?" I asked. "Do you need wat

Chapter 285

I didn't have a fever, no chills, no dizziness, but I must have been sick. I had to be really sick to have turned down several party invitations for both Friday and Saturday nights. The only thing I could muster the energy for was a brunch with Marie and Amber, something I couldn't really say no to.I adjusted my sunglasses, letting out a sigh as I stared out the car window from the passenger seat. Jason was driving, and I had to admit, hiring him had turned out to be a good idea. Over the past few days, he had acted as my chauffeur and accompanied me on a few tricky assignments. Not bad, I suppose. He was quiet and easy to forget was even there, thanks to his calm demeanor."Are you feeling alright, Miss Sara? You mentioned you'd stay home to rest on Sunday. Aren't you pushing yourself too hard?" he asked."I'm not pushing myself. I just need to relax with my friends. Besides, you've only seen my dull side. I'm not usually like this, you know? Once I'm back to normal, your job won'

Chapter 286

"Oh, everything happened. Sophia climbed onto the 100-year-old chandelier at the club. She almost fell off, and they almost had to call the fire department," Marie said excitedly. "Oh, and Amber was rolling around with Ryan on her terrace."Emma choked on her drink at Marie's comment. Amber was about to yell at her, but I wasn't surprised. It was old news to me."Shut up, Marie! Don't go blabbing about my private life!" Amber exclaimed."Does it still count as private when you do it on a terrace?" I teased."We thought no one would see us. And anyway, I've got nothing to hide. We've been hooking up since my birthday. Got any other critiques?" she shot back at Marie."Not at the moment, though it's tempting. Ryan is the worst. How many people did he sleep with on our last trip?" Marie pointed out."He's got a good imagination and a taste for risky spots, okay?" Amber defended herself. "Who doesn't like a bit of outdoor fun?""Apparently, Emma doesn't. Are you blushing because of

Chapter 287

Emma hesitated too much, not giving me the answer I wanted to hear. I didn't understand why it was so hard for her. To make matters worse, her phone started ringing. She answered it, giving short, clipped responses, and began to step away from me. Her whole body pulled back. She ended the call and stood up."Let's not keep them waiting any longer, okay?"Emma might have tried to leave, but now, it was my turn to grab her hand, stopping her from going."I'm not your enemy. You can trust me," I told her."Th-thank you... Shall we go back in?"I sighed in frustration. It was a small step forward, but something was definitely off between those two. If I had suspected that Emma was in love with Lorenzo, those suspicions were fading. We returned to the table where the girls were waiting."I'm glad you two are back because your return confirms my theory," Marie said playfully. "You've got a new admirer who hasn't stopped staring at you. Over there."Marie tilted her chin toward... surp

Chapter 288

I was never a jealous woman. Experience had taught me that cheating depended entirely on the cheater. But right now, my jealousy was clawing its way up from the depths of my gut because three possibilities were gnawing at me.First, Lawrence and Emma were engaged for convenience. Their relationship was a sham with no physical intimacy at all.Second, Lawrence and Emma were engaged for convenience. Their relationship was a sham, but they still had sex for the thrill of it.Or third, Lawrence and Emma were engaged out of love. Their relationship was real, filled with sleepless nights of passion, and I had become the very thing I despised—a boyfriend stealer.In two out of three of these scenarios, I ended up looking like a fool. Judging by the tense atmosphere at this brunch, it was hard not to feel like that already. Emma was waiting for a response to her latest comment while Marie and Amber were also watching me, though they seemed a bit worried.I picked up a napkin and unfolded

Chapter 289

“How do you know Emma?” I asked.I’d noticed that Jason usually answered my questions without beating around the bush. He wasn’t one for exaggerations—at least, not in his professional demeanor. But this time, he hesitated, and I saw his hands grip the steering wheel uneasily.“From one of my previous jobs.”“One of the jobs listed on your résumé?” I pressed.His jaw tightened.“Before those.”“Could you be more specific? I don’t want to keep torturing you with such simple questions…”The irony wasn’t lost on Jason. He made an effort to reply.“She… is connected to my former employers. That’s where we met.”So, they’d met at the job that had led to years of sabotage for him. Interesting.“What did she say to you at the restaurant? She seemed upset,” I asked again.“She wanted to know how long I’ve been working for you and how I got the job.”“Did you tell her the truth?” I questioned, leaning back against the window.“I asked her to leave me alone. I don’t want to interact

Chapter 290

Lawrence Lewis's P.O.VWhen I got engaged to Emma and put the distance between me and Sara that I should have enforced all along, I never expected this. Out of all the scenarios I had predicted, what had actually happened was never one of them. I tried to chalk up what happened in that dark closet to the lack of light, to the thrill, to the alcohol. I also tried to act like nothing had happened between us afterward, but that didn't work either.We ended up fighting in the rain after I fed her more lies to push her away, and still, we kissed. Or rather, I couldn't hold back, and I kissed her. After all the restraint I'd practiced with my favorite addiction, there I was again, relapsing after too much time in withdrawal. But this time, it was worse—so much worse.That kiss with Sara was the first one we'd ever shared. The reality of it surpassed any fantasy I'd ever had. Her lips were softer than I'd imagined, and I had felt electricity sparking through every part of my body. It was i
