"Crystal was getting ready for the office today. She felt as if it had been a year since she stepped into the office. She hadn't forgotten about the new CFO and the party. She just prayed not to face the woman and to stay away from both of their relationships. She was confused as to why Landon suddenly started to worry about her, but she knew better than to get her hopes up. After changing into office clothes, she walked downstairs only to find Landon shouting at someone on the phone. She silently went to the dining table and sat down, noticing Landon's half-eaten food on his plate. The maid served her breakfast. She wanted to ask him about his health but saw him shouting like that, so she got the message that he was fine, like his usual self. She quietly continued to eat, hearing his voice. Suddenly, the voice stopped, and the chair beside her was pulled. Crystal looked at him as he sat beside her. "Good morning," he greeted her and smiled a little. "Good morning," Crystal replied
"Shut up!" This is not an appropriate way to speak to your superior. Who do you think you are to talk to your CFO like that? You are the most discourteous and useless employee. I tried to give you a chance to improve, but I made a mistake. I will correct my mistake now." Landon handed the termination letter to Sana and threw it in her face. "You are fired. Don't show your face here, and I will make sure you never get a job in a company again," Landon shouted. He was fed up with people like her and knew he had to do some cleaning up in his company. Sana's eyes widened, and she immediately fell to her knees as real tears flowed from her eyes. All her attitude vanished in a blink of an eye. "Sir, please...I am sorry. I made a mistake. I am sorry, madam. Please don't throw me out. Please, I beg you, sir. I will do my best. I will improve, sir. Please give me a chance." "Get lost, or I have to call security!" Landon shouted again. Sara smirked as she watched the begging employee. Meanwhi
The dimly lit nightclub was packed with people dancing to the thumping music. In the corner of the room, a man in his 50s sat at a table, his scarred face illuminated by the soft glow of a candle. Two young women sat across from him, giggling and batting their eyelashes as he flirted with them. The man had a menacing air about him, and the scar that ran from his forehead to his chin only added to his ominous presence. He took a long drag from his cigarette, exhaling a cloud of smoke that hung in the air. As the night wore on, the man's behaviour grew more and more aggressive. He leered at the women and made lewd comments, his eyes darting around the room as if daring anyone to challenge him. As the man finished his cigarette, he stood up from the table and made his way to the dance floor, the women trailing behind him. The other patrons of the club gave him a wide berth as he moved through the crowd, his evil aura almost palpable. A woman in messy work clothes approached the man w
"Hello boss, I found out the company that released those videos and photos. We have already removed the video, but it has already garnered 15 million views and has been broadcast on a news channel. I hacked their system and found out the person who sent these images to the company," the employee reported. "Who?" Landon asked. "It's Madam Sara." "Are you sure?" "I am 110% sure, sir. You have my word," the employee affirmed. Landon clenched his fists and closed his eyes, trying to control his anger. After hanging up his phone, he stood up from his chair and stormed out of the office in search of Sara. However, he was so lost in thought and anger that he collided with someone on the way to the elevator. He immediately held onto the person to prevent them from falling, and to his surprise, it was Crystal. "Be careful when you walk," Landon commented. Crystal avoided his gaze and tried to push his hand away from her waist. Landon noticed how her eyes were dull, and her face was pale a
Perl scoffed at her colleagues who were talking among themselves about their boss and CFO's affairs. She wanted to laugh at the stupidity of these people around her. She already knew everything about Landon and Crystal. Standing up from her desk, she went to the restroom to freshen up a little with all this overloaded work. Perl walked into the restroom, and as she washed her hands, she heard faint sobs coming from one of the stalls. She hesitated for a moment, wondering if she should intrude, but she immediately recognized the voice of her friend. She knocked gently on the stall door and called out, "Crystal, are you okay in there? It's me, Perl." There was a long pause, and then her friend's voice, thick with tears, answered, "I'm fine, Perl. Just give me a minute." Perl leaned against the sink, waiting patiently. She knew that the things happening in the office would negatively affect Crystal. She would need time to compose herself, and she didn't want to rush her friend. Fina
Sara's heart skipped a beat as she realized that she had forgotten to hide the boxes she had packed earlier. She had been so focused on Justin's discharge that she had completely forgotten about them. She didnot want to explain anything to Justin about the things happened inbthe office. "Oh, those," she said, trying to sound casual. "They're just some things I was going to donate." Justin raised an eyebrow. "Donate? To where?" "To a local charity. I was doing some cleaning up of my new apartment of i found some old stuff." Sara replied, trying to keep her tone steady. "I just haven't had a chance to drop them off yet." Justin seemed to accept her answer, but Sara could tell that he was still curious. She silently hoped that he wouldn't ask any more questions about it. The rest of the car ride was still awkwardly silent. Sara tried to focus on driving, but she could feel Justin's eyes on her, making her nervous. As they finally arrived at Justin's home, Sara helped him inside and
The sky is getting dark. The breeze is getting refreshing, Crystal sat up and rubbed her eyes, trying to clear the sleep from her head. As she looked around, her eyes landed on the clock. Its was 9 pm. she realized that she was in Landon's room. Memories of few hours came flooding back to her - she had gone out with landon to meet her mom and ended up falling asleep in Landon's car. She glanced out the window and saw that a storm was approaching. The wind had picked up, and the sky was darkening quickly. Crystal felt a sense of calm wash over her as she watched the storm draw nearer. She got up from the bed and walked over to the window, feeling the cool breeze on her face. Looking outside, watching as the clouds grew darker and more ominous. The wind picked up, blowing leaves and small branches around in the yard. Crystal smiled to herself, feeling a sense of exhilaration as she anticipated the storm's arrival. She loved the way the rain washed everything clean and the thunder an
( I hope you all remember chapter 47 , if now please check it out before reading this chapter.) Flashback Landon took a deep breath as he parked his car outside Crystal's mother's house. He had received a call from his wife's mother one day, and it turned out to be her. Landon's relationship with Crystal's mother had never really developed, and he felt uncomfortable facing her. He had a deep feeling of guilt in his heart, which prevented him from getting closer to her. On his wedding day, he had promised her to protect her daughter, but he did the total opposite. He didn't have the courage to face her." He got out of the car and walked up the front steps, his heart pounding in his chest. As he rang the doorbell, he tried to calm his nerves. The door opened, and Crystal's mother, Mrs. Mary, greeted him warmly. "Landon, it's good to see you," Mrs. mary said, smiling. "Thank you for inviting me, Mrs. mary," Landon replied, his voice shaking slightly. "Don't call me that, you are al
