Chapter 8

Author: Sweetie Moore
The receptionist's smile tightened slightly.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Coleman, but Mr. Harris gave us strict instructions not to let anyone upstairs without an appointment. That includes you."

"What?!" Nancy's temper flared. "Where is he? I need to see him."

"Mr. Harris is in a meeting and isn't available right now."

The receptionist stayed polite, but her tone remained polite but firm, leaving no room for argument.

Nancy made a scene in the lobby for quite a while, drawing plenty of attention, but

    Nancy kept going. "Bradley, I'm sorry. I was wrong. I trusted the wrong person and completely misjudged Austin."I know I messed up, so please stop being mad at me. I've had a lot of time to think, and now I finally realize you're the only person who ever really cared about me."She held out the tiara. "For the sake of what we had, will you give me one more chance?"I looked at how moved and sincere she appeared and almost laughed.When I first gave her the diamond tiara, she treasured it so much she practically slept with it beside her.But that didn't last long. As she grew more spoiled and demanding, even diamonds stopped impressing her.Eventually, she gave the tiara to a classmate who came from a poor family, using it more to humiliate her than to be generous.After that, whenever Nancy wanted something from me, it was always expensive jewelry or luxury designer goods.I had no idea how she managed to get the tiara back.I stepped forward and took it from her.

    The car window slowly rolled down, revealing my expressionless face.I looked at Nancy as if she were a complete stranger."Nancy," I said calmly, "whatever was between us ended the day you graduated."Then I rolled the window back up, shutting her out.The car pulled away without stopping again.Nancy stood frozen as the car disappeared into traffic. A moment later, her knees buckled, and she collapsed to the ground in tears.None of it made sense to her. I had spent years giving her everything she wanted, yet now I was cutting her out of my life as if she meant nothing to me.But she refused to give up. For the next several days, she followed me everywhere, trying to find a chance to talk to me.My bodyguards kept her from getting anywhere near me.Then one day, she followed me to a cemetery and finally found an opening.By the time she caught up, I was standing in front of a headstone with a bouquet of white lisianthu, grief written across my face."Bradley..."Nancy app

    The receptionist's smile tightened slightly."I'm sorry, Ms. Coleman, but Mr. Harris gave us strict instructions not to let anyone upstairs without an appointment. That includes you.""What?!" Nancy's temper flared. "Where is he? I need to see him.""Mr. Harris is in a meeting and isn't available right now."The receptionist stayed polite, but her tone remained polite but firm, leaving no room for argument.Nancy made a scene in the lobby for quite a while, drawing plenty of attention, but no one let her through.With employees staring at her from all sides, she felt humiliated. Eventually, she could only leave in embarrassment.She wandered down the street with no idea where to go next.Then she thought of Austin.He might have lied to her about the bracelet, but she was still his girlfriend, and she had helped him get the Apex Holdings deal. Surely he wouldn't refuse to give her some money.With that in mind, she went to Austin's company, only to be told by the receptionist

    "I'm sorry, miss, but this bracelet is a glass imitation. It isn't worth much.""What?" Nancy's eyes widened.But the manager sounded so certain that she couldn't deny it.She couldn't believe Austin had actually dared to fool her.Furious, she marched over and kicked him hard.She still had a bill to pay, though. Nancy yanked off her necklace and earrings and handed them over."What about these?"Bradley gave her those, so there was no way they were fake, too.The manager examined them carefully before saying, "These are worth about 200 thousand at most. You're still short 360 thousand."Nancy clenched her jaw. She took off the ring Bradley gave her, handed over her limited-edition designer bag, and even slipped off her diamond-studded heels."What about all of this? That has to be enough."The manager added everything up, then nodded. "That should just about cover it."As the server carried away the jewelry, bag, and shoes she had always been so proud of, Nancy felt compl

    "That's impossible!" Nancy snapped. "Do you know who I am? Bradley gave me that card. There's no way he'd freeze it."The server kept his professional smile, though his patience was clearly wearing thin."I'm sorry, but the card has been frozen. If you have any questions, you'll need to contact the cardholder."Nancy's face burned with embarrassment.The classmates who had been flattering her just minutes ago now stared at her with a mix of surprise, confusion, and barely hidden amusement.The truth was, most of them couldn't stand her. If she hadn't had money and Bradley backing her, they never would've bothered hanging around her in the first place.Furious, Nancy called Bradley, but every call was met with the same automated message."The number you have dialed cannot be reached at the moment..."She slammed her phone down in frustration. Just as panic started to set in, she suddenly remembered something.Austin.She quickly turned toward him, expecting him to step in and

    I followed the group and watched Nancy slip her arm through Austin's the moment he showed up. They stayed close, laughing together. She made no effort to hide how happy she was to see him.As soon as Austin sat down in the private dining room, he looked over at me with a smug expression."Bradley, how does it feel knowing I took the Apex deal right out from under you? Not that getting upset will change anything. If you let a woman get in the way of business, sooner or later, you're going to run your company into the ground."I stirred the lemon water in front of me and didn't respond."What, nothing to say?"My lack of reaction only made him angrier. He suddenly grabbed a wine bottle from the table and hurled it at me.I didn't get out of the way in time. The bottle hit me, and blood started running down the side of my face.The police arrived not long after someone reported the disturbance. By the time they walked in, Nancy was still checking Austin's hand for shards from the b
