“Did I hear everyone correctly say that you’re acting like a tiger today?” Letty, her supposed friend, asked of her. During the lunch hour, Livia found herself quietly enjoying her meal within the confines of her office. However, the unexpected appearance of a witch abruptly interrupted her peaceful moment.
She paid no mind to that person and had no interest in whatever Letty might be gossiping about with their co-worker. Livia had grown accustomed to Letty’s gossip, and she was well aware that this woman was spreading false rumors about her in their workplace. However, Livia remained unfazed by it all.
“I am speaking, Liv. Will you not simply disregard me?” Letty asked, her lips forming a pout.
Livia shuddered as a repulsive sensation coursed through her spine. She is astonished by the fact that this woman had the audacity to pout right in front of her, as if Letty were completely unaware of the deceitful actions she was engaging in when Livia’s back was turned. “If you’re just here for the gossip, you can go around and ask the people in my department to make sure you get the real news,” Livia said coldly to Letty.
Letty’s eyes grew wide with surprise as she observed how Livia spoke to her, treating her more like an acquaintance than a dear friend. “What? You can’t believe that a person changes?” Livia stated, mocking Letty.
Livia let out a dismissive scoff and swiftly finished her meal, not giving the other person a chance to utter a word. She has no desire to suffocate on her own meal.
Letty was taken aback, her nerves causing her to cough. Nevertheless, this witch maintains her belief that Livia is a friend who won't become angry with her.
“I apologize, Liv.” Letty pondered, “It appears that you woke up on the wrong side of the bed,” as Livia burst into laughter, leaving Letty perplexed.
“Letty, this is the true version of myself. Looking for the pushover, Livia, was not a wise decision.” Livia informed Letty in a detached manner that the woman had departed and a new one had taken her place. Letty couldn’t help but flinch as she observed the expression on Livia’s face.
Inside Livia’s office, a silence hung in the air, awkward and heavy. “Oh, I forgot, Liv. George called me, and he’s wondering why you’re not returning his calls,” the woman remarked to Livia.
Her eyebrows were raised. Mockingly, she addressed Letty, “I had no idea you had become George’s messenger.”
With a subtle lift of her eyebrows, Letty rose from her seat. “Liv, you know. I don’t understand you today. You’re being mean to me, and I had no idea what I did to you,” Letty murmured, as if she were innocent.
“Ha!” Livia expressed her disbelief with a scoff. ‘Letty, please refrain from making me appear foolish. Prior to George and me entering into marriage, you and that individual were already engaged in a clandestine affair, betraying my trust without my knowledge.’ She had an intense desire to shout these words directly into Letty’s face, but she restrained herself, recognizing that now was not the appropriate moment.
“Letty, this is the genuine version of myself. Take it or leave it,” she said to the woman.
“I have already reached my limit of being a pushover and slave to everyone. I find myself in my current position due to my own merits, believing that I have earned it. If my demeanor does not align with your preferences, I kindly suggest you seek an alternative.” Livia, with a smirk on her face. “I have lots of work to do,” Livia stated while smirking at Letty.
Livia couldn’t help but notice Letty’s face, which was both red and filled with anger. Once more, she let out a derisive scoff. ‘Observing the genuine demeanor of this woman is quite pleasing. She’s a b*tch who dresses up as an angel.’ Livia pondered.
“You’re jeopardizing our friendship with your current actions, Livia,” Letty expressed.
Livia’s face lit up with a wide grin. “I am doing myself a favor, Letty. From the very beginning, it was evident that there was no friendship between us. You are already aware of it.” With unwavering assurance, Livia extended her finger towards the door.
Letty was the second individual who had the displeasure of experiencing Livia’s actions, which resulted in hurt feelings. Letty was taken aback, while Livia simply shrugged.
Letty emerged, her face flushed with anger. Once more, the door slammed shut, marking the second occurrence of such a disturbance within the span of a single day.
‘Ah! This is supposed to be life! I am grateful for this opportunity to experience life once again.’ Livia whispered to herself with a silent laugh, finding happiness in watching the disappointed and angry faces of her enemies.
This is the finest sensation she’s ever had, and she’s not done yet. This is just a taste of them. Many people were forced to confront the new Livia.
With a determined finger, she pressed the intercom button. “Rebecca, kindly inform Romana that I require her immediate presence,” she commanded the secretary once more.
Rebecca responded with a slight and gentle tone, saying, “Yes, ma’am.”
Livia patiently awaited the arrival of the individual she intended to contact.
In this office, Romana stands out as the sole individual who possesses both exceptional qualities of goodness and loyalty towards herself. She desired the presence of someone akin to Romana by her side. Livia glanced at her phone, noticing its persistent vibrations and yet another call from George. With an exasperated expression, she gave her eyes a quick roll. Just as she was about to power down her phone, a gentle beep from the intercom on her table caught her attention. It seemed her secretary was trying to reach her.
“Apologies, but Miss Romana is currently away on vacation, ma’am. She will get back on Monday,” Rebecca informed her.
Rebecca received no response from her after sharing the information about Romana’s whereabouts. Before Monday, she plans to have a personal conversation with the human resources officer. Rebecca, being an incapable secretary, wishes to switch places with Romana, as per her request.
Livia was curious to witness the secretary’s reaction, considering the numerous instances in which the mischievous Rebecca had deliberately undermined her efforts and tampered with her financial reports. The woman’s actions have left an indelible mark on her, making forgiveness an elusive prospect. She was aware that Rebecca was the one responsible for leaking the company's financial status to their rivals.
She, along with the other higher-ups, is currently conducting an investigation. However, it is worth noting that she made the unfortunate decision to sympathize with Rebecca in the past and failed to report her actions. Livia believed that camaraderie held more value than honesty. Ultimately, she found herself betrayed by none other than Rebecca, who cunningly shifted the blame onto her.
Livia couldn’t help but let out a bitter laugh as she recalled the day she lost her job, all because of Rebecca. She will always remember it, as it was one of the causes of her previous unhappiness.
The woman glanced at her watch and noticed that it displayed two o’clock in the afternoon.
More individuals will inevitably pass through that frustrating door, merely to request her assistance despite her superior position.
She did not make a mistake. Three individuals entered the room, behaving as though it were their own personal office space. “Hello, Liv! Could you kindly assist me in creating this report?” Jolyn Punzalan asked about the task, expressing a sense of urgency.
“This too, Liv! I need that tomorrow,” Jennylyn Marquez also said. “Liv, my boss has given me the task of creating a PowerPoint presentation. Help me, please!” Michelle Dela Cruz spoke to her, her voice filled with irritation. These people are demanding that Livia finish the files as if they were paying her to do so.
Instead of answering them, she focused on her work. What could possibly compel her to acquiesce to their demands? F*ck them!
She observed the trio engaging in a silent conversation, their eyes serving as their means of communication. She lacks fear when it comes to them.
“Liv! We kindly request a favor from you. Do you have any intention of breaking our friendship?” Michelle issued a threat to her.
With a snort, she abruptly ceased her labor. “Alright, our friendship is over,” Livia replied nonchalantly.
The eyes of the three individuals grew wider. Livia's unexpected message caught them by surprise. “Liv, are you kidding? This is just a small favor for our friendship and because you don’t want to do it. Are you planning to terminate our friendship?” Joylyn demanded, her eyebrows arching in curiosity.
A smirk played on her lips as she looked at them. She shrugged as she stated, “I don’t require friends who are merely utilizing me.”
“What?! That’s how you perceive us! Are we not deserving of your sincerity, only to be met with such ingratitude?” Jennylyn raised her voice. Livia knew these three wanted the others to hear the commotion here.
Livia arched her eyebrows and fixed her gaze on them, giving off a more intense glare. “Jennlyn, are you aware of the words you are speaking? Is that so? My dear, it is important to embrace honesty. You are aware that our friendship was merely an insincere facade. Do not dare to trifle with me and your meaningless ramblings,” she exclaimed, showing no mercy.
“Do you desire for me to complete your task? I can do that, but informing human resources that your salary should be put on my payroll is also a possibility because I am doing your vital job even though I am in a much higher position than the three of you,” she declared without blinking and with a threat in her tone.
The three grew pale. Throughout the day, individuals repeatedly exited her office without casting a single glance behind them. Livia, with a mischievous grin on her face, couldn’t help but emit a sinister chuckle. The day was truly wonderful.
Livia had finally reached the third day of her return to the timeline of her life. The traitor remains unseen by her, and time eludes her to meet him as well. The woman is aware that George requires her, rather than the other way around. She stated that her boyfriend has yet to try the new Livia. The day’s work has come to an end, and she finds herself seated on the toilet in the company’s restroom, attending to her personal needs.Before, she was tired. However, now it appears that her job is as effortless as can be. Livia had just completed her task and was preparing to cleanse her hands when the sound of voices reached her ears, indicating the arrival of others.“F*ck! How am I supposed to do that report? I am unsure of my abilities to do so!” A smirk graced Livia’s face upon hearing their voices. Even in the privacy of the comfort room, she remains the subject of shameless individuals. Instead of yelling at them, she chose to listen to their conversation first.“Because I couldn’t
“What the hell?” Livia expressed her frustration. For the past two weeks, she has been actively avoiding George, yet that persistent individual continues to bother her both at home and in the workplace.At this very moment, George is incessantly bothering her door, despite the late hour of ten in the evening. Fatigue has already settled into her ears from the incessant knocking. Despite this weariness, she chooses not to grant herself respite by opening the door, allowing the man to proceed with his desires.With a swift motion, she grasped the phone and promptly dialed the number of the security guard stationed on the ground floor. “Sir, could you please get this man out of the building? It’s now ten o’clock, and he’s still disturbing my sleep! Take note that he should not be allowed to enter this building.” In a fit of anger, she directed her words towards the security guard.“All right, ma’am. Don’t worry, we’ll take care of it right away,” the security guard replied.She went near
Livia, exhausted from a day of hard work, finally returned home and began tidying up her belongings. She is decluttering, but not with her own belongings, but with those she brought for George because he did not want to bring them into his home.Livia was aware of the reason behind it: her style was outdated and couldn’t keep up with the current trends. Her parents, the ones who had raised her, were no longer present. Living alone makes her susceptible to being easily fooled by others.A chuckle escaped her lips as she caught sight of two boxes containing George’s belongings neatly tucked away inside a larger box. Trembling, she casts a glance at herself before swiftly discarding the boxes outside her apartment. The trash will be collected by a garbage collector.“I am old-fashioned, huh?” She couldn’t help but sarcastically remark to herself about what George had told her.“Just wait until Monday when you lay eyes on me. I will laugh in your face,” she says, despite the fact that the
Livia sat in front of the television, engrossed in her favorite show. Suddenly, a news report captured her attention. Anger and disgust tightened her jaw.“Good day, Mr. Welthe! Could it be true? Has the heiress of the Welthe Empire finally been found?” As Richard Welthe gracefully stepped into his luxurious limousine, accompanied by his loyal bodyguards, a curious reporter couldn’t help but ask about the distinguished old man’s presence.Despite the bodyguards’ efforts to ward off the barrage of unexpected questions from the reporters, they find themselves overwhelmed by the sheer number of journalists present.Richard Welthe is a name that is hard to miss, especially when he is on a desperate search to find his beloved child. The reward he offers for any information is nothing short of substantial.Richard Welthe, with a cold expression adorning his face, remained silent, refusing to entertain any inquiries from the persistent reporters. The man stepped into his car, and as if by ma
The grandest ballroom at Mr. Welthe’s prestigious five-star hotel was chosen for hosting this extravagant party. The entire world is on the verge of witnessing the arrival of the only successor to the world’s empire. Everyone is waiting for Mr. Welthe to reveal the identity of his missing heir, who went missing twenty years ago, causing his wife profound depression and ultimately leading to her death. The party was a joyous occasion, as it marked the momentous occasion of Mr. Welthe’s long-awaited reunion with his missing daughter. The entire ballroom transformed into a scene reminiscent of the medieval era. The guests were dressed in their finest medieval attire, donning suits and gowns that transported them back in time. One person is smirking especially since she expected this day to turn her life upside down. The woman is together with George, who is also excited for Letty to be rich. Both individuals presumed that the gathering was intended for Letty. “What did Mr. Welthe tel
“Please, my dear daughter, come closer,” Mr. Welthe gently beckoned, directing his finger towards her. The spotlight was directed towards her position.Applause filled the room as the crowd erupted in cheers. There were even those who expressed their congratulations. “I believe Mr. Welthe followed your advice,” Orion replied to her, his voice rising in volume due to the claps and congratulations.Livia experienced a sensation of deafness, despite the fact that she could hear her father’s voice with perfect clarity. Everyone is looking forward to her appearance on the make-up stage with her father. This is one of her greatest regrets from her first life. She is unable to see or meet her father because Letty did everything to prevent them from seeing or meeting.“Livia, what is it that you are waiting for? Come and join me here,” her father repeated.Her eyes were filled with tears, which slowly trickled down her cheeks. Flashing back, the memories of Letty’s actions towards her, knowin
Livia, unlike Letty, no longer indulges in the habit of incessantly boasting about wealth that does not belong to her. Her father has already had several people look into what happened to her before and why she is missing and cannot be found.Despite her reluctance, her father persistently urges her to accept the new ride he is offering. “However, Dad! I could simply borrow one of your cars right here! Why would one consider purchasing a brand new item?” Livia let out a sigh.Livia knew an old man who had a tender spot for her, and he often displayed a childlike demeanor when engaging in arguments with her. “Indeed, I am aware! However, my desire is for you to possess new possessions rather than those that have been passed down to you. You are a Welthe, and a Welthe will not be satisfied with simple things,” her father explained for the nth time.Her father, with unwavering determination, intends to present her with the shiny new key to a brand new automobile. He makes sure to mention
Livia’s face bears a few scratches, while her hands display some bruises. Fortunately, Orion intervened and put a stop to their actions. In the confines of her recently acquired office, she finds herself seated, observing the man’s countenance, which bears a striking resemblance to that of a person harboring murderous intentions.Orion wasted no time in contacting the authorities, swiftly calling the police to apprehend the trio whose actions had been witnessed by all. The dire consequences arose from not only angering her but also the person standing before her.The man appears to be lost in contemplation. “I’m fine now, Orion,” she assured him.The man quickly turned his focus towards her, causing her to instinctively recoil under his piercing stare. “I am the one who was injured. Why do you appear to be the one in pain?” She asked of the man. Orion became aware of the expression that adorned his face.With a hint of annoyance, he allowed his eyes to roll in a gesture of exasperatio
