A Charger, A Secretary, And Our Final Straw Chapter 8
Two more years later, after I'd settled into my career and stabilized, I decided to follow my parents' wishes and form a marriage alliance with a woman of their choice.Though it wasn't that I was just following what they said. I really liked the person they picked out for me as my wife too.Her name was Rosanna Oleson, and she was bright and passionate, a blooming red rose, just like her name.She was two years younger than me, and she introduced me to many new and exciting experiences, such as skiing, ice skating, skydiving, and even free climbing.At first, I thought I only liked her because of the proximity effect and because she was the next woman I met after such a harrowing experience in my last relationship. However, when she sat by the beach, singing along as she strummed the chords on her guitar, I knew that she was the only person my heart would continue beating for.We fixed a date for our wedding after that.On the day of our wedding attire fitting, I waited outside
A Charger, A Secretary, And Our Final Straw Chapter 7
The procedures and paperwork for relocating abroad went smoothly.Mom and Dad had already purchased a manor in the new country ahead of time, and we moved in uneventfully. I officially began preparing to take over their company, starting at the bottom to gain experience. My life was happy and fulfilling so far.At times, Mom and Dad would casually set me up on blind dates with potential marriage partners. However, the wounds in my heart hadn't healed, and I found it difficult to move on to a new relationship at once.I didn't want to deceive or mislead anyone, so I politely rejected all of them.A year later, after independently completing my first project at the company, I was given the opportunity to form my own project team.The first thing I did was to contact my former colleagues, extending an olive branch toward them. Everyone had reservations at first because the company was located overseas, but there were also a handful of people who willingly hopped on without hesitation

Mom was the one who picked up the call. She seemed to already know Jazmine's purpose for calling and said calmly, "You don't need to say another thing. Colin's already explained everything to us."Go and complete the divorce proceedings tomorrow morning. Don't worry about the asset and property division settlement. I'll handle that with your parents."Jazmine panicked. She shook her head repeatedly and said, "No, wait! Mom, you must be mistaken! I never said I was divorcing Colin! I was just joking!"Mom sighed long and hard. Finally, she said, "Jazzy, you know very well whether you meant it as a joke or not. Our entire family will be relocating abroad, so don't bother calling us again."Honestly speaking, both my husband and I really liked you, but I guess it just wasn't meant to be. You've also already met someone more suitable for you, right?"We will respect your wishes, so please respect ours as well and don't bother us anymore. Let's not let this get ugly."That is all. Goo

Jazmine was completely stunned. The staff member on the other end of the line repeated himself, and she finally responded. "I never made the appointment. Who did?""It might have been your husband…"Jazmine hung up on him before he could finish. Then, she glared coldly in the direction I'd left and laughed coldly."You're really something, Colin Whitaker, stooping to doing something like this this time. I can't believe you even got someone to fake the call."The building security guard suddenly knocked on the door and entered the office, handing a formal envelope to Jazmine."Your package, Ms. Garcia."Jazmine opened it and widened her eyes in shock at the document title on the front page. She muttered, "A divorce lawsuit? What? Colin's suing me for divorce? How's that possible? It's fake, right? He's just trying to make me fold, isn't he? This is fake, isn't it? He forged it, right?"Alvin was beaming ear to ear when he realized that I was going through with the divorce for r

The next afternoon, I went to the company to pick up my laptop.Before I'd even entered the office, however, I saw a noticeable coffee stain on the floor. I had a bad feeling and quickly walked over, pushing the slightly ajar door wide open.Alvin was holding a jug of coffee over my laptop, pouring it straight down from a height. The floor was also littered with torn-up documents. He just grinned leisurely at me when I went in."You're late, Mr. Whitaker."Ms. Garcia was the one who told me to bring you a cup of coffee, but my hand slipped and spilled it all over your laptop. You don't mind, do you?"My office was always locked with a combination lock because it contained top-secret technical documents from the company, and only Jazmine and I knew the passcode. However, I never thought that she would tell Alvin the combination and even condone him destroying my laptop.The documents in the laptop were worth billions of dollars and were very crucial to the entire Garcia Group. If

Honestly speaking, I never noticed Alvin's existence in the first place.His performance was mediocre, his abilities were just average, he had no outstanding qualities, and he even frequently caused trouble for the company.In fact, Jazmine used to complain to me that the new intern was a good-for-nothing troublemaker and should just be fired.I thought that everyone had their struggles, so I told her to just wait until after his internship was over, thinking that perhaps Alvin just hadn't gotten used to the new environment yet.Ultimately, Alvin passed the internship and was formally made a full-time employee. I even rewarded him with a small bonus to keep him encouraged.But his ambition was already evident then. He always looked at Jazmine with an intense and even suggestive gaze. Still, I never doubted him, assuming that he just had a good and playful relationship with Jazmine.However, it wasn't until one night during a company social event when Alvin helped a very drunk Jaz
