Leaving You Bereft Chapter 770
When the woman got angry, Thalia raised her hand and slapped her hard.She knew this would get her iced out, but so what?In the worst case, she'd find another job.The woman clutched her face and stared at Thalia in disbelief. She stomped her foot. "Do you know who I am? I'm Mr. Montclair's daughter."Jayson Montclair was the project manager and a big name in the branch office, so naturally, Samantha Montclair was used to throwing her weight around.She was about to hit back when a stern voice called from outside the restroom door, "What's going on in there?"The women inside scattered instantly.After all, they were all connected.Only Thalia stayed put, standing there while Amethyst lit into her with sharp, ugly words. "You think just because you and Leslie have that kind of relationship, you can do whatever you want here?"Let me tell you, there's always someone higher up. If Samantha goes and complains about you, I can't protect you. You're on your own."Thalia's lips mo

Thalia nodded and sat down.Her fingers brushed across the clean desk as she took in the bright, spacious office. It was nothing like the club. Everything felt open and full of light here. She cherished the chance to be in a place like this.She lightly tapped the company-issued laptop in front of her. She knew her way around a laptop, but she wasn't exactly skilled, so before being given any tasks, she opened it and began clumsily practicing her typing. She had no idea how many eyes were on her, nor did she realize just how much malice could hide between women in the workplace.At 10:00 am, it was the company's scheduled break time.Some colleagues called her over to join them in the small lounge. The women all seemed friendly, and she couldn't help but feel grateful. Holding a small pastry, she listened to them talk about office gossip. Everything felt so new to her.Landon had brought her into an entirely new world, and she thought that with hard work, she could become an excel

The next day, Thalia went with Landon to Nebula Group's branch office.Since it was a workday, she dressed more formally than usual.In the apartment's walk-in closet, she stood in front of the mirror, checking herself over. She'd changed into a white skirt suit with a matching overcoat. It looked quite nice, and since it was her first time wearing business attire, she couldn't help admiring herself for a moment.She turned to look at Landon.He was immaculately dressed, lounging on the couch, reading documents. Noticing her gaze, he looked up.She asked softly, "Do I look okay?"He glanced at her, his brows drawing together, thinking she looked gorgeous.Reaching out, he caught her wrist and pulled her toward him. "Did you buy this just for today?" he asked in a low voice.She nodded. "I bought it online."The whole outfit had cost her around 200 dollars. She didn't go overboard now that she was with him, but she also couldn't wear something that looked too cheap. The style a

Under the dazzling crystal chandelier, Landon and Thalia stared at each other in silence.After a long moment, Landon said softly, "Give me your phone."Thalia was confused and handed it over like she was on autopilot.He took it and used his long fingers to swipe it a few times until he found Matthias's number, saved in her contacts as "Ford the Meathead". He glanced at her, then deleted it.When he handed the phone back, he simply said, "Don't contact him again."She understood that she belonged to him now. It felt like another hard slap across her face.All the trust and closeness she thought they had built, the little home she longed for, was shattered in a single move.She and Landon were worlds apart. But she didn't have the courage or the right to leave him. Not after she had taken Matthias' 100 thousand dollars to save her life, not after accepting the place he gave her and the job he arranged.Now, she was just like his kept woman—his caged songbird.She just stood th

Thalia had to admit that Landon was an ideal person to live with, as he had no bad habits at all.She didn't know that back then, he often didn't come home at all, living a pretty indulgent lifestyle.He'd just reined it in lately.She went to visit Selena every day as usual.Selena was still out of touch with reality, still cursing at her and throwing things, but she didn't care anymore. It was as if new blood had been pumped into her life. After the pain, she could go home to the place she shared with Landon.So, this was what having a home felt like. She didn't realize that this was an addiction—the beginning of her fate.She got back to the apartment before 5:00 pm only to find Landon had come home early. She saw him arriving just as she did. The maid was helping him change into indoor slippers, bending respectfully and speaking to him in a familiar tone with a strong Brindlish accent.In their conversation, she mentioned "Mr. Ziegler" and "Mrs. Ziegler", which could only me

After sending the text, Thalia found Landon, who'd been in the middle of a meeting, walking out of the study.After a long day and an intense cross-country video conference full of heated debate, he rubbed his brow wearily and asked if the food had arrived.Pulling out of her thoughts from Matthias' text, she checked and answered softly, "It's here."He glanced at her and noticed that her hair had been blown dry, looking fresh and clean.Her face was pale and delicate. Every feature seemed soft and fine.At 30, she still looked like a 22-year-old, and he couldn't help but feel his heart soften. Pulling her into his arms, he wanted to kiss her—to steal a moment before the food arrived. As he lowered his head to meet her lips, he murmured, "Shall we?"She could guess what he meant and answered with flushed cheeks, "After we eat."He chuckled at that and happily went to eat, though the food didn't taste great.A takeout meal was something he'd never had before. The food was greasy
