She Hid Our Love, Then Lost Me Chapter 9
[Derek Foster embezzled company funds back when he worked for me. I let it go out of old feelings, and now he's turned around and joined our competitor just to hurt me][Every one of his clients only signed because he drank his way into their good graces. Be careful doing business with him, or you'll get burned.]She even spread rumors questioning my sexuality. Each claim was more ridiculous than the last.Adrian Lowell, a nouveau riche who had only recently entered the industry, actually believed her. He immediately had his secretary call to cancel our deal, completely ignoring the fact that we'd already gone through three rounds of negotiations and were one signature away from closing."Mr. Foster's character is in question. We can't take that risk."I called him directly. His tone was polite but distant."Mr. Foster, it's not that I don't trust you. It's just that Ms. Chase made it sound very convincing. She even sent me screenshots of bank transfers. In business, you can't be

After that, I found a chance to move apartments and made sure Vivian could never show up outside Pierce Group's office building again. I disappeared from her world completely.News of Chase Group's collapse came a week later. A coworker forwarded the article and video to our group chat, and everyone gleefully read it.[Chase Group's cash flow has dried up. Founder Vivian Chase faces the consequences of her own actions and has been placed on the credit blacklist.]In a video, Vivian broke down in front of reporters, sobbing."I only kept things quiet at first for the sake of the company. I never meant to drive away Derek, the man I loved most in the world. It's all because of Tyler. He tricked me, using the excuse that he was new and needed constant attention. If he hadn't schemed his way into driving Derek out, I never would have ended up like this."Tyler wasn't about to let that slide. He posted his own video firing back."That's rich, coming from a woman who wanted a younger m

Without me bringing in business and managing accounts, Chase Group's cash flow collapsed within a single month.Desperate and out of options, Vivian came looking for me more than once, hoping I'd help her out of whatever was left of our history.The first time, she caught me right outside my office."Derek.""What?""The company's cash flow has dried up. Mr. Grant from the Midwest pulled out too. Suppliers are demanding payment, and I can't make payroll. Could you come back and help me, just for a month?""No.""Then could you at least call Mr. Grant and the others for me? Just tell them the company is going through some business restructuring and needs some cash flow. Ask them to settle the outstanding balance first."I snorted and stepped back, putting distance between us."Why would I? Why would I spend my own reputation and goodwill helping out an ex who couldn't treat me fairly?"She didn't answer, just pressed her lips together."You're still angry with me.""I'm not.

A month passed in a blink, and it was time for the investment conference.Vivian sat in the front row with Tyler beside her. When she saw me walk in, an unreadable look crossed her face. I couldn't tell whether it was hatred or regret. We both pretended not to know each other, forcing ourselves to stay composed until the conference officially began.Tyler went up first to present on behalf of Chase Group. He hadn't even finished the first slide before people in the audience started checking their phones, whispering to each other.By the third slide, Preston raised his hand."The profit margins here are the same as last time. Is there nothing new?""What?" Tyler's smile froze on his face."I remember the person who showed me this proposal last time wasn't you. It was..." Preston scanned the room, and his eyes landed on me. "I remember you were the one who showed me this version a month ago. You promised me very confidently that you'd fix it up. And now this is what you bring me?

My phone rang right as I finished my onboarding paperwork. I declined it without a second thought.Vivian must have been furious, because it kept ringing relentlessly. By the thirteenth call, I finally picked up."Derek, what is wrong with you!" Her voice came out sharp. "I supported you for three years, and you turn around and betray me by joining our competitor?""Supported me?" I laughed coldly. "Vivian, you know full well I've been the one carrying this company for three years with every deal I closed."She went quiet for a second, her voice softening."Derek, I know you're still upset that I never made us public. But everything I did was for the company’s sake. Once the business gets to the next level, I..."I cut her off, laughing. "That's the same lie you told me three years ago. You lied to me while I drank myself into a hospital bed, and the second my back was turned, you were getting cozy with Tyler at the office. Why should I believe a single word you say? At the end o

"Derek, Ms. Chase went out of her way to set up a dinner tonight with the Midwest clients, just to keep me close to her. Once that deal's signed, what's left of your old clients will matter even less."I'll be nice and bring you along tonight. I'm giving you a chance to remind everyone you still exist. Otherwise, once the East Coast clients drop you, you'll be out on the street."I didn't even look up. "I'm not going."Tyler seemed to have already planned for that answer, so he threw Vivian's name at me to pressure me into it."No wonder Vivian dumped you. You're so spineless."I snapped my head up and glared straight at him."Fine. I'll go."I was going to finally get some payback for the last three years.-At the private dining room, Tyler had barely sat down before Vivian settled naturally into the seat right beside him.Edward Grant laughed, teasing her. "Ms. Chase, you used to bring a guy who was always fawning over you to these business dinners, and now you've upgraded
