Katherine seemed to not notice me and went straight up in the president's private elevator.
I knew that only members of the company's board were qualified to use that elevator.
Could it be that Katherine is joining Pica Jewelry?
It's really intriguing—what could she possibly do here?
But all of this doesn't concern me anymore. I haven't forgotten why I'm here.
"Fiona, you're back!"
As I entered the office, my colleagues greeted me warmly.
I believe most of them are still wise and friendly—
The rumors about my wedding and my relationship with Damon have become off-limits topics.
"By the way, Fiona, there's a department manager meeting at 9:30. You're aware of it, right? I heard Mr. Patrick has something important to announce."
A colleague informed me.
My heartbeat slowed down for a moment.
Could it be that he's going to announce his wedding with Katherine?
The irony is just too much
"Next, I announce a new appointment effective from the first day of the next month. Katherine Green will be appointed as the Design Director of our jewelry division at Picard Group."Damon spoke, and the room fell silent.All eyes turned to me simultaneously, as Katherine was about to take over my position.The few colleagues who had challenged me earlier from Katherine's side couldn't help but wear triumphant expressions.It seemed like they felt they had made the right bet.Damon also looked at me. "Fiona, as the former Design Director, you will be transferred to the position of Design Consultant. The job responsibilities and salary will remain the same, but following the procedure—""Thank you, no need. I came today to resign and hand over my duties."I interrupted Damon firmly, which caused murmurs throughout the room.Damon's face darkened. "Your resignation application has not been approved yet. Currently, you are s
Maybe they were intimidated by my aura, as no one dared to speak up after that.I didn't want to waste any more time with them, so I turned and left the conference room."Fiona!"Damon ran up and grabbed my arm."What do you mean? Are you trying to ruin me?"I looked at him with a puzzled expression, "That's quite a fresh question, Damon. Weren't you the ones trying to ruin me first?""I'm just being truthful, asking you to return what belongs to Katherine."Damon said with sincerity, "Fiona, I thought I had given you enough face. But it seems you're the one who doesn't care about face anymore. Katherine was still pleading with me this morning, begging me not to reveal this. It's unbelievable; I can't believe I've let her down for so long!"I shrugged, "So now you have plenty of time to make it up to her. All I need is a resignation letter signed by Mr. Patrick."Damon replied, "I won't sign it."He put on a stubb
The car arrived, but I didn't see Brendon as I had been eagerly anticipating. Instead, his driver, Percy, was there."Madam, Mr. Capie has some unexpected matters to attend to, so he can't come right now. He asked me to escort you to the office lounge and wait for him there. Alternatively, if you'd like to go home first, that's also an option."Percy explained to me.Although I felt a slight disappointment, I completely understood. I knew Brendon's work was demanding, and I also felt embarrassed about my emotional outburst this morning."It's alright, I don't have any other plans. I'll wait for him here."I replied.I hadn't been to Brendon's workplace before, but I knew it was located in the city hall. However, the city hall was vast, with several office buildings in different sections.Percy led me to a lounge that was luxuriously decorated, resembling an executive suite in a five-star hotel. There was a comfortable relaxation area
They were sitting by the window, cuddled up on the same side.I hoped they wouldn't notice me.I thought that I wouldn't have to deal with these jerks for the rest of my life, but my luck seemed to be really bad.Well, since we were already here, I didn't want these unworthy people to ruin my and Brendon's good mood.Seeing my expression change, Brendon followed my gaze and also spotted those two."Do you want to change restaurants?"He understood my emotions well and it touched me.I shook my head, "No need."There's a saying that goes, 'Different roads lead to the same destination.' I haven't done anything wrong, so just because these two are here, should my husband and I not even have the right to enjoy a delicious restaurant?Brendon nodded, respecting my decision."What are your plans for the future?"Brendon asked me.I knew he was referring to my career plans, and just mentioning it excited me
Damon's POV:I stepped out of the restroom and noticed a man on the adjacent balcony, talking on the phone.It was him!I had seen him twice before. The first time was near the city hall when I chased after Fiona's car and he abruptly blocked my way.The second time was at Catherine's house, where he audaciously accompanied Fiona into her home!Rage boiled within me as I walked towards him.I knew he was the root cause of all this.If not for him, would Fiona have left so resolutely?The Fiona of the past was like a docile little bird, always obediently staying by my side, never resisting whatever I asked of her.Now, because of him, Fiona had changed. She was no longer the person I once knew.I saw Brenda hang up the phone and turn to walk in my direction.He saw me too, yet there was not a trace of surprise or unease in his eyes, as if he hadn't seen me at all!I was infuriated and charged straight
I pushed the door in, and before I knew it, he was pulling me in."Brenda, are you --""Just miss you a little."He picked me up and laid me on the counter.With one hand on my waist and the other on my cheek, she leaned in to kiss me.I gently pushed him away, crying and laughing, "But I'm just outside in the bedroom."His deep blue eyes were like a whirlpool that was about to trap me."I can't wait these distances."He wrenched my jaw and stole my tongue.He put me in a rhythm, and I found myself in the right place.Beneath him was a cool marble platform, behind a smooth, watery mirror.He took me by the waist, pushed up my knees, and slowly inserted the sex organ.It's hot, it's bloated.I felt the thrill of both fire and ice and buried my face in his neck.He only smoked about a dozen times before I had one of the fastest orgasms ever.Apparently, he was caught off guard by m
He had just turned eighteen this year and is a freshman at the state university.If our relationship were strong enough, I believe he would be the brother I'm most proud of.Unfortunately, in his eyes, Catherine is his only sister.I never expected he'd find his way to Rachel's place, so I hurried over to greet him."Gilford, who allowed you to make so much noise here? Is this the extent of what the so-called manners of the Greene family are?""Do you know that Catherine broke her right hand?"Gilford glared at me angrily, "She might not be able to play the piano or design crafts anymore! How could you be so cruel?"Broke her hand?!What a joke! It was clearly Catherine who provoked me at the restaurant yesterday.I only gave her a little lesson, making her fall awkwardly onto the table. How could it result in a broken bone?Looking at the gleam in Gilford's eyes, I felt that he wasn't exaggerating Catherine's inj
"Brenda, why are you here?"I held the fire axe in my hand, with Rachel by my side."I happened to be passing by and wanted to see how your day was going."Brenda explained, looking relieved."You mean—"I understood he was referring to the axe.I felt a bit embarrassed and quickly put the axe down, "Nothing, just some rats in the electrical box. Rachel and I were planning to—"Rachel intervened swiftly, helping me cover up, "Yes, rats. They're infesting the place and chewing through the wires."Brenda's expression seemed off, but it looked more like a kind of mental fatigue to me.However, his tone was surprisingly relaxed, "So, you use an axe to deal with rats? Aren't you afraid of getting electrocuted?"Rachel and I exchanged puzzled glances."Hey! Are you done chatting?"Damon, who was standing behind Brenda, snapped. I assumed he came here to give me trouble, but he probably didn't e
