Looking back now, how many times was it genuine and how much was just an act?
This time, I didn't call her out on her feigned coyness, but I didn't offer any warm response either.
Perhaps sensing my unusual coolness, she pulled out a red string with a jade charm for peace.
“Don't be angry!”
“I had a friend specially make this. It'll protect you forever and keep us happy for life!”
That red string looked all too familiar.
Only then did Wanda let out a breath of relief. Then she said, “Quick, come to the office with me. You should hand over your work to Julian."
"Take some time to rest. Once he gets familiar with the business and things have calmed down, you can go back to the company. You're my fiancé. I won't let you suffer any losses.”
Hearing her, I almost laughed out loud. I had already suffered, so what kind of guarantee was that?
When we arrived at the company, I walked into my office and saw Julian sitting in my chair as if he were the big boss. His feet propped up on my desk.
“Are you angry right now? Are you furious? Someone as incompetent as you should have been fired long ago.”
"Your position is already mine and soon …. so is your fiancée."
