Gwen POV

Without looking back, I ran fast and hard, not caring whether people were looking oddly at me.

All I knew was that I needed to get away as far from Mrs. Betty Olson as possible.

Even when I rounded a corner, I could still hear the sound of her voice in my head - unnerving and grating, making me wince inwardly.

Nervously, I grabbed the hem of my upper uniform. The need to escape her clutches is paramount for my self-preservation.

Betty Olson has a mean, sharp tongue, as I have proven o

  • ACCIDENTALLY MARRIED TO MY BROTHER-IN-LAW   Chapter 184. Cleared

    Gwen POVI closed my eyes when Lisa slammed the door on her way out, leaving me with Mr. Boyd.It was awkward. The way she accused him of favoring me, and for insinuating that there must be something between us.This is what I hated most about most of the companies I got into. The office politics were too severe and cut-throat.And the accusations were below-the-belt.I stared at my shoes because I could not look and meet Mr. Boyd’s eyes. It was too embarrassing to hear Lisa’s accusation about us. It did not even cross my mind. Besides, I have not seen Mr. Boyd since he hired me. And that was just fine by me.I was here to work, not flirt or have romantic relations with anyone.I did not want a repeat of what happened with the Olson brothers.“I am sorry, Mr. Boyd, for being implicated, and thank you for exonerating me and not holding me accountable."My voice came out shy and I was fidgeting because I was nervous as h*ck.But I was grateful I got to keep the job.I thought I would b

    Lisa POVI could not believe what I was hearing.I stared at our CEO, his stern, unflinching gaze fixed on me.He didn't blink as he delivered the verdict that would ruin my career and life.I shook my head. Disbelief made my chest ache in restrained anger, and my head numbed up to my scalp.I thought I had it all figured out. Gwen is the culprit. She was the one who coordinated with the catering company, so what happened to the food is her fault, not mine.“But…” I stepped back, confused.“There has to be a mistake here.” I was quick to correct him.How can Mr. Boyd rule against me indiscriminately without a proper investigation? This had to be the quickest decision that has ever been made. I don’t think there was ever fair play here.He ruled against me thoughtlessly in favor of Gwen, and I cannot accept it.“That is so unfair!” I yelled at his face, unable to accept the ruthlessness of his decision. It was like he was deciding on a food and not a person’s future and life. This is u

    Liam BoydI stared at the two women in front of me. One looked confident while the other looked sad. On several occasions, I found out that a person’s confidence comes from telling the truth.But veritable liars can also look you in the face without blinking. They can lie on their teeth without batting an eyelash.There is not much that differentiates the two, especially if one is skilled at lying.My gaze lingered on Gwen. She was actually quite a puzzle. Monique hated her and accused her of a close association with Damian Olson.In the past two weeks that she had been working here, I realized that Gwen was dependable and reliable in her job. She had this quiet dignity radiating off of her.Was it the reason why Damian Olson favored her over Monique?Monique’s my favorite, but I have to admit that she has been spoiled by us, her family, and by her shot at fame. She always threw a fit when things didn’t go her way.On the other hand, Gwen does not look like life spoiled her. She acted

    Gwen POVThe smug look on Lisa’s face made me madder than I could ever be.I forced myself to calm down, trying to maintain a neutral expression, even as I sensed mounting doubt from those around me.I looked at the medicine kit slung over my shoulder and realized I had fallen prey to Lisa’s machinations.She played me well. She used my preparedness as evidence of my guilt.I took a deep breath and held my tongue. Inside, I was furious. I was seething in anger at Lisa’s genius.I bit the side of my cheek to restrain myself and just followed Lisa out.She was walking ahead of me.While I walked, I could feel the stares of my coworkers. And then, Lorry blocked my path. “I believe you are innocent.” She said in a loud voice.The vouch of confidence was unexpected. I never realized that the shy Lorry, who would rather eat at the emergency stairs, would risk losing her anonymity just to declare her belief in me.Emotion caught in my throat, and tears pricked my eyes as I struggled to stay

    Gwen POVFriday soon came.“Hurry up! Hurry up!” Lisa was yelling at me. She was standing at the door to the conference room where the meeting was going to be held.I just got in, and she was already harassing me with her demands.There were no signs of the investors yet, but she was already in a frenzy.If she could growl, then that was short of what she was doing to me. She was trying to intimidate me and make me dance to her tune.“It’s still early,” I commented when I stopped in front of her. My gaze was all on my tablet, checking my list and schedules.“Where are the caterers?” She cried.“They’re on their way up,” I told her calmly. She gave me a side eye.“You don’t even look tense. Why? Aren’t you worried that something might go wrong?”A frown formed and creased my forehead.I did not know what she was getting at. We already made preparations until almost midnight last night.I made sure that all the departments that were going to report had their files on the hard drive. I a

    Gwen POVIt was Monday morning. Actually, my second week here. My training period has officially ended, and I was absorbed as a regular member of the staff.After familiarizing myself with the company system and the work entrusted to me, I began to become confident in my performance.It’s not always a walk in the park, but at least I am getting the hang of it.When I arrived at the office, I found my coworkers in a panic.When they saw me, everyone talked at once. They did not even wait for me to reach my table. They all flocked toward me.“Gwen! Thank God you are here!”“Gwen, I need your help.”“Gwen! You need to do this first thing.”I do not know what’s making everyone in a frenzy, but I signalled with my palm up and called them all to order.“Wait! One at a time!”A crowd began to form a semi-circle around me. Not long ago, I remembered how these same people seemed to avoid me. They even make fun of me, but now, they look at me as if their lives depended on me.“What’s with all t
