Another Bride

When I saw my girlfriend Lana Piller again, she was already holding a national design contest trophy.

She and her first love, Zac Newton, had just walked into the company. Everyone stopped working and hurried over to praise them for their hard work.

I stood by, finding it all quite ridiculous.

They used the design draft I had spent half a year working on but pretended to have worked hard. Indeed, they were exhausted from their long honeymoon.

During these three months, Zac kept showing me the photos and videos of him and Lana eating and living together. He would also secretly turn on the voice chat while flirting with Lana so that I could hear Lana say that I was not as good as him.

At first, I was so angry that I even doubted my life. Now, my heart was calm. Now that Lana was back, I could give her my resignation letter. "Ms. Piller, this is for you."

Before Lana could speak, Zac asked with a half-smile, "Cruz Greyson, isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to publicly bribe Ms. Piller?"

Immediately, my colleagues rolled their eyes at me, saying irritably, "When Mr. Newton joined the company, Cruz had been the most vocal critic, always targeting him. Now that Mr. Newton has won the contest, he's been thoroughly proven wrong that he can only stay here by resorting to these petty tactics."

I remained unmoved by their usual sarcastic remarks.

Lana and I had been together for six years, but she had never officially announced our relationship.

We never had matching profile pictures or posted anniversary messages on social media. Plus, Lana was always cold and harsh towards me at work. My colleagues were unaware of my relationship with Lana. They all assumed she disliked me and isolated me to curry favor with Lana.

As for my strong opinion of Zac, it was because he was the so-called design director.

Not only did he lack basic design logic, but he also abused his position as Lana's first love by interfering in other people's designs and arbitrarily altering clients' requirements, causing numerous problems.

However, Lana fiercely defended him.

As a result, everyone suspected they were secretly married.

Lana also thought I was going to give her a gift. She frowned and answered, "Cruz, instead of resorting to these petty schemes, you should learn from Zac."
