INICIAR SESIÓNThe doctor followed my instructions immediately.Jennifer thrashed wildly."What are you doing! Don't you dare touch me! When I get out, I won't let you off! Ever!"No one paid attention to her threats.The doctor injected every last drop of the reagent into her.She suddenly started sniffing herself frantically, her voice rising in panic."What did you inject me with? Why do I smell like semen?""Yes, exactly that smell," I said, watching her."You gave it to me as perfume, remember? I imagine you liked it very much. This smell will stay on you for a very long time."She screamed, "Selena Lewis, you bitch! How could you do this to me!"I looked at her coldly, and she immediately fell silent.I said evenly, "From now on, you're the bitch."I turned and walked away.A voice came from the doorway. "Jennifer, you may leave now."She bolted out like she was running for her life, unwilling to stay a second longer. But barely half a minute after getting into the black SUV, she
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have believed what someone else said."Harry paused, then tried to justify himself."But you're too perfect. I just... I don't feel secure around you. Let's get married, Selena. Please?"The pain from the flowers that had hit me earlier still throbbed faintly.I yanked my hand away from his. "Harry, you don't love me."I looked him in the eyes and spoke slowly. "As you wish. We're through."He refused to give up. He followed me, his tone suddenly soft and pleading."I love you."He reached out, trying to touch my face."Why didn't you tell me your sense of smell was gone all these years? I could have helped you. I know plenty of doctors, not just psychiatrists, but specialists in nerves and the senses."I stepped back, keeping out of his reach."I've long since gotten used to not being able to smell anything."My gaze hardened."I'll get used to life without you too. If we're breaking up, then we're breaking up. Stop clinging to me. The more you cli
"Even if that message came from Jennifer, she did nothing wrong. She was in the right. Someone like you doesn't deserve to be her friend."I laughed bitterly.Even now, Harry was still defending Jennifer. He blindly believed her and didn't trust me at all.I grabbed the perfume from my bag and began spraying it into the air.In an instant, everyone frowned.My friend started venting at me. "You're seriously twisted. You actually turned that smell into a perfume?"I turned to Jennifer and flung the bottle at her."This bottle of perfume was a gift from Jennifer. I have issues with smelling. Hardly anyone knows that, but Jennifer knew. She gave me this weird-smelling perfume, saying it suited me, matched my style, and that I should wear a little at the wedding as a way to show respect to Lara. "I wore it... and then she sent Lara a message saying I was seducing her husband. My best friend called me a bitch. The next day, Jennifer repeated it. She made me lose my job and my boyfr
"Let's go home. I'll make you something to eat."But Harry grabbed Jennifer's arm, his eyes wary as he looked at me."Don't go with her. She's not thinking clearly. She might hurt you."Tears fell from my eyes.I looked at Harry, my voice hoarse. "Do you even know how I became like this?"He looked at me coldly. "You brought it on yourself."I pointed at Jennifer, shaking my head like a madwoman."It's not me. It's her. She did this. All of it is her fault."I reached for Jennifer's phone.Her face changed instantly, and she snapped at me."You've gone too far! I've been the one comforting you all along, and now you're accusing me and trying to steal my phone? Keep this up, and I'll call the police."I was terrifyingly calm."Call them. I want to see who they'll arrest."She faltered. "I don't know what you're talking about."I snatched the phone from her hand.She was small and slight, so I barely had to try.Harry stepped forward to stop me."Give the phone back to h
Fear spread through me like wildfire.I was terrified.Terrified of being abandoned a third time.I almost covered my ears.But his voice still hit me, cold and heavy."I never thought you were this kind of person."A vein throbbed at his temple, his whole presence radiating a rage I had never seen before.I began to shake.All the emotions I had been holding back exploded at once.I yelled back hysterically, like a madwoman."What kind of person? Everyone keeps saying the same thing! Why?"He sneered, pointing toward the door. "Get out. I never want to see you again. We're through."Then he slammed the huge bouquet of flowers into me.Jennifer stepped forward immediately, wrapping her arms around my shoulders."Can't you just talk like a normal person? Why would you push her?"Harry snorted, hands on his hips."I have nothing to say to a woman like her. Selena Lewis, disappear from my sight right now, or I'll have the restaurant kick you out."Then came the same word
"I haven't done anything wrong."Isabella looked at me coldly."I'm part of management. When I say you're fired, that's final. Go to HR to collect your severance. You have five minutes to leave this company."She sank back into her chair, her chest rising and falling with fury.She was usually gentle and like a mother to all the employees. Even if someone made a mistake, as long as it wasn't serious, she'd give them a chance.And I had always been her top performer. She had even said that when the project ended, she would send me abroad for further training.But now, all I saw in her eyes was disgust.I felt like I had been cursed."Why? What did I do wrong?"An executive standing nearby tried to mediate, his voice cold."Just leave. If you push the chairwoman too far, that severance won't even cover what you owe her."I understood. I couldn't afford to fight.As I left the meeting room, I heard a colleague whispering, "I knew she'd get fired eventually."I spun around and
