Access Denied: My Girlfriend's Other Man Chapter 10
Seren held out an old hard drive."It has every design draft you sent me three years ago, along with our chat history. I didn't delete any of it.""There's already enough evidence.""That's not what it's for."She paused."You used to send me so many things every day."The flowers blooming downstairs, a terrible cake you had, a cat you spotted on the street. Back then, I thought they were all meaningless and wouldn't reply for hours."It's only after you stopped sending me things that I realized just how quiet a day could be."I didn't respond.She laughed self-deprecatingly."I moved out of that apartment.""What about Bun?""I gave him to a family who genuinely loves cats. I also got rid of everything William left behind. I replaced the fingerprint lock and put the apartment up for sale.""Seren, you don't owe me an explanation.""I know."She slipped the hard drive back into her pocket, her voice growing softer."I just wanted to talk to you a little longer."Someon

Later, the client reached out to me, asking my team to take over the project and complete it independently.Seren was also present on the day the contract was signed.She was no longer the project lead. She was only attending as a representative of the former business partner.Halfway through the signing, the client stepped out to take a phone call.That left Seren and me alone in the conference room.She slid a document toward me."These are all the communication records between the event's investors and Grant Group from back then.""Eva already has them.""This copy includes my written testimony."I flipped to the last page.In it, Seren admitted that the company instructed her to approach me, the complainant, and that she used our personal relationship to persuade me to drop my case.If this testimony was submitted, she wouldn't just face disciplinary action from the company. She would also lose the credibility she'd earned with the industry association."Why are you giv

Five days after the old case was reopened, William reached out to me.He asked to meet downstairs at the hospital."Charles, are you determined to destroy my life?"He pulled off his mask, his eyes terribly red."The organizers suspended my professional certification, and the company put me on leave. Seren also got reprimanded by the board for withdrawing from the project on your behalf.I swirled the coffee in my cup."So?""I didn't steal your design three years ago. An intern sent it to me. I didn't know someone else had already entered it in the competition.""Then why did you keep using it after you found out it was mine?""The competition started the next day. I had no way out."His voice trembled."That was my first opportunity in this industry. If I admitted to plagiarism, my life would've been ruined.""So you decided to ruin mine instead.""But you managed to stand back up, didn't you?"It was only after he spoke that he realized how bad his words sounded.Afte

Seren's gaze passed over Eva and landed on me."You brought an outsider into our business?"Eva pushed up her glasses."Ms. Grant, Mr. Leed hired me to handle the copyright issues, termination of the project partnership, and reopening the case. I'm not here to mediate relationship disputes.""I'm talking to him. You don't get to answer for him."Seren reached out to grab me, but I stepped away.Her hand froze in midair, her fingers slowly curling into a fist."Charles, let's talk in private.""There's nothing to talk about.""Your mother just finished surgery. Are you sure you want to make a scene here?"I looked at her."You're the only one making a scene here."Seren's jaw tightened, but she eventually lowered her voice."I admit I had a hidden agenda when I first approached you, but over the past three years, I've been there when you were sick, helped you deal with problems at work, and even met your family. Do you think all of that was an act?""Whether it was an act

The next morning at nine, the joint project was suspended from the bid.William's eligibility to serve as the lead presenter was frozen as well.When the news reached the hospital, I was pouring Mom a glass of water.Seren called. "You revoked the authorization?""Yes.""Reinstate it now."Her voice was still composed, but she was speaking faster than usual."There are only two days left until the final review. Do you have any idea how much the company will lose if you pull out at this stage?"I gripped the thermal flask tightly."Didn't you say that we don't need to distinguish whose work the joint project was? Since William is the lead designer, just tell him to create a new proposal.""Charles Leed, I don't have time to deal with your tantrum right now.""I'm not throwing a tantrum.""Then what was that complaint email supposed to be?"It seemed the association had contacted her.I walked to the end of the hallway."It's exactly what it looks like. I want to reopen th

The final message was sent the day after Seren and I became a couple.William asked her, "Has he withdrawn the complaint yet?"Seren replied, "Almost. He's easy to handle."The pages rustled softly in my hand.Just then, my phone lit up.It was my mother calling.She was scheduled for surgery to remove a tumor today.Seren promised that she'd be there.By the time I arrived at the hospital, the nurse had already reminded us twice that it was time.Mom lay in the hospital bed, her face pale."Is Seren stuck in traffic?""Yeah," I lied. "She'll be here soon."I walked to the stairwell and called Seren.The first time, no one answered. The second call was declined, and on the third attempt, William picked up."Charles, Seren isn't available right now.""Put her on the phone.""Bun ran away. We're looking for him now. He's timid, and it's raining outside. He could be in real danger."I gripped my phone."My mom has surgery in half an hour. She promised she'd come."Willi
