Chapter 10

Author: Sweetie Moore
Kiera grabbed onto my arm, stopping me from leaving. She then started complaining about Trevor.

Only then did I learn that she had been traveling a lot lately. Thanks to Ripley Corporation's good track record, she had managed to land the company a small project.

Yet when Trevor had taken on the project, he thought they were being underpaid. His attitude toward the client had been terrible, and he even got into an argument with them.

The client then angrily ceased their contract and even blacklisted Ripley Corporation, telling all other players in the industry how terrible the company was.

Kiera's reputation had soured alongside her company's, leaving her no chance to turn over a new leaf.

When she saw how unresponsive I was to her plight, Kiera began using the past to try to make me change my mind.

"Do you remember how frugal we were when we just started Ripley Corporation? We could never bear to spend any money, even when we earned more in the following years," Kiera said.

    Kiera was carefully tending to Trevor, who lay in the hospital bed."This is some chicken soup I made earlier, Trevor. It's a little hot. I'll blow on it to cool it down first," she said gently. "Let me know if there's anything else you want to eat. I'll make it for you."Kiera spotted me out of the corner of her eye as she spoke. She immediately placed the bowl of soup down in shock and ran over to grab onto my arm."I swear I'm keeping my distance from Trevor. It's just that he fell sick after the shock of what happened on the balcony previously. "I didn't want to come and care for him at first, but one of his family members works for Maelstrom Corporation, so I decided to take care of him for your sake. That way, he won't try to take revenge against you."Kiera was always doing things for my sake, huh? Wasn't she tired of recycling the same excuses over and over again?Plus, I had already met Trevor's aunt the other day when he threatened to jump off the building. She was the

    The drivers on the road frantically braked their vehicles, cursing angrily at Trevor.Kiera's face turned pale with shock. She was about to run after him when she noticed me standing there, still waiting for a taxi.She hesitated for a moment before saying through gritted teeth, "I'm sorry, Alfred. I'm worried Trevor might get himself injured. Let's just leave it at that today. I'll ask you out another time so we can talk."Kiera then cried out to Trevor while running after him.My taxi arrived just then. I got into the car, ignoring her entirely.How pathetic. We had already broken up, yet Kiera still wanted me to rejoin Ripley Corporation.When I reached home later that night, I received several messages from Kiera, but I chose not to reply.After a good night's sleep, I went to work early the next day—only for Kiera to get in my way. There were dark circles under her eyes."Do you really not give a damn about me anymore, Alfred Wickham? I'm really at my wits' end here!" Kier

    I walked past Kiera and marched into the restaurant, only for her to try to come in alongside me.I immediately halted and gazed at her coldly. "Our company is hosting an employee-only dinner. I think it's best if outsiders remain outside."One of the front-of-house servers went up to Kiera and said awkwardly, "My apologies, miss. But our customers here have booked the entire restaurant for the night. We hope you pay us a visit next time."Kiera turned to look at me as I walked into the private dining suite."I'm his girlfriend!" She cried frantically. "I'm here for him!"The friendly smile on the server's face never once disappeared. "But that customer doesn't seem to know who you are, miss. I'll have to kindly ask you to leave now."Kiera called out to me several times, but I did not respond at all. In the end, she angrily stomped her feet and left the restaurant.My boss chuckled as he turned to me. "So that's the woman you stayed behind at Ripley Corporation for."The corne

    The disdain in both Kiera's and Trevor's gazes swiftly turned to shock. The once cacophonous office became pin-drop silent in an instant.I had no idea how much time had passed until one of the nearby employees finally made a sound of surprise. Someone else cursed out loud, breaking the strange tension in the air.Kiera straightened up, eyes running over me. "You didn't lose your marbles, did you, Alfred Wickham?"Trevor sighed in relief and chuckled. "This isn't funny, you know."Funny?I looked at Kiera coldly. "You can read the contract yourself. You'll see I'm not joking."Kiera's features hardened instantly. She read through the contract alongside Trevor, her expression growing uglier as time went by.When she saw that I had actually become a director at Maelstrom Corporation, she gazed at me in disbelief."Is this your way of taking revenge against me, Alfred? Terminating our companies' mutual contract?" Kiera asked.She really was overthinking things now. I, on the othe

    I didn't need Kiera's permission to do so. After all, I wasn't planning on coming back.I turned around and got into the moving company's truck, making my way toward my new life.After quitting my job at Ripley Corporation, I started working for Maelstrom Corporation, where I was given immense responsibility.When I next returned to Ripley Corporation, I was greeted by the receptionist as Maelstrom Corporation's representative.The moment I arrived at the office area, I spotted Trevor wearing his director's nametag, standing a distance away. He stood proudly above the other employees, instructing them on what to do."I want you to both enlarge the logo as well as shrink it a little.""It's not pure black I'm looking for, it's the kind of iridescent black a crow's feathers are in the sunlight.""I still think the first rendition is better. But I prefer the seventh render for the font and the 16th render for the colors… Send the finalized render to me later today."All the employ
