During a company team-building event, we held a trust fall activity. I stood on the platform with my back to Matthew Walter, my girlfriend's male assistant. My girlfriend, the CEO, held a megaphone and announced, "If you fail to catch someone, that means you don't trust your team." The first time, Matthew failed to catch me, and I slammed into the ground. My girlfriend, Jessica Homer, made excuses for him. "Calum, you're too heavy. Matthew isn't strong enough, so it's understandable." The second time, Matthew failed to catch me again. Jessica snapped impatiently, "Your expression was too serious. You scared Matthew." On the third attempt, I asked to catch him instead. Although I caught him without a problem, she announced to everyone, "Calum caught Matthew, but he let his emotions get in the way. He doesn't pass." Then, she stared at me and said, "Starting tomorrow, you'll be transferred to the logistics department to handle office supply purchasing. Matthew will take over your position as manager." I frowned. "Have you lost your mind?"

Never Yours Again Chapter 7 Let It End Here
Two weeks later, Dennis woke up and was moved from the ICU to a regular ward. His left leg had been saved, and the doctors had inserted metal pins to stabilize the fracture. They said recovery would take at least a year, and he might have a slight limp afterward.I sat beside his bed while peeling an apple.He joked, "Calum, you've peeled off more flesh than skin.""Be grateful you've got something to eat.""Jessica came by today." He glanced at me out of the corner of his eye. "She asked how I was doing, but I ignored her."I was about to answer when a knock interrupted us."May I come in?"Without waiting for an answer, Jessica walked in and set some fruit on the bedside table. She kept her distance from my brother, as if afraid of scaring him."I've asked my lawyer to handle Matthew's parents and the compensation. The payment will be settled.""Got it," I answered flatly.Jessica twisted her hands nervously. "Calum, I've done what I should have. Can you give me another cha
Never Yours Again Chapter 6 Turning on Each Other
Jessica stuttered as she questioned Matthew, "When I asked you to look into Calum back then, why did you lie and tell me he'd found a rich woman to support him?"Matthew looked flustered. "I-I heard it from someone else.""Who?""Someone in our social circle mentioned it, so I...""You didn't even check?" She stepped closer.He looked uncomfortable. "I did, but that person made it sound so convincing that I believed it was true."In that split second, the air grew tense."You made me hate the wrong person." Jessica's eyes were bloodshot."Ms. Homer, I only did it for your own good!" Matthew panicked. "You were devastated after he left. I was afraid he'd deceive you again.""Shut up!" She slapped him again.This time, he didn't dodge either. "Are you hitting me for him?""Of course!" Jessica pointed at him. "I've treated you so well, and you've been lying to me this whole time.""Fine!" He finally dropped the act. "He really did leave, didn't he? Was I wrong to tell you to s
Never Yours Again Chapter 5 The Truth
At the police station, Matthew sat in the interrogation room. Through the glass, I could see him shaking badly.The police had pulled the surveillance footage. After hitting Dennis that night, Matthew hadn't called the police. Instead, he had called Jessica. He even removed the dashcam from the car.Together with Dennis's medical report, the evidence was enough to open a criminal case.The officer explained, "For a hit-and-run causing serious injury, the prison sentence starts at three years."Matthew immediately burst into tears and cried out to Jessica. "Ms. Homer, please save me! I don't want to go to prison!"Jessica stood in the corridor, her face livid.After I signed my statement, I headed for the exit. She hurried after me and blocked my way."Calum, let's talk." She bit her lower lip, struggling to get the words out. "Could you sign a letter of understanding? His family isn't well-off, and his parents are in poor health. If he goes to prison, his life will be over."
Never Yours Again Chapter 4 A New Job
Jessica probably hadn't expected me to resign. After a long silence, she finally said, "Well, look at you, suddenly acting so tough. Did you find another rich woman to support you? Why don't you introduce her to me? Maybe I can pick up a few tips on climbing the social ladder."I hung up and blocked her number.Dennis was still in the ICU, and the interest on my loan was growing every day. I had to find a high-paying job as soon as possible.I downloaded a job-search application and submitted my resume. I had five years in supply chain management, two years as operations director at a publicly traded company, team leadership experience, and a successful IPO.After sending out three applications, my phone rang half an hour later."Is this Mr. Johnson? We're calling from Starlight Group, and we've reviewed your resume. Are you available for an interview tomorrow for the supply chain director's position?"On the day of the interview, the receptionist led me into a conference room. T
