The Business Affair Chapter 8
Shirley stood in front of me with a smug look."Janet, Chris treats you so well. How could you cheat on him? Is it because he gave me the project lead instead? But it's his company. He has the right to do that."People around us started pulling out their phones to record the commotion.Suddenly, Riley noticed the ring on my hand. Her expression darkened, and she stepped forward and pried my hand open. She yanked my hair violently and snarled, "You still dare say you didn't seduce my boyfriend? I've seen this ring in his photos before. It's for his true love. Who do you think you are to wear it, you homewrecking tramp?"Shirley moved closer to Riley and fanned the flames."Janet used to live in poverty, and now she's decked out in designer brands. Looks like she chose the wrong path to live the good life. Janet, why don't you apologize to Riley? After all, you seduced her boyfriend first. If you apologize properly, I'm sure Riley won't go too far with you."Riley towered over me

I glared at the woman and pushed her away."What the hell is wrong with you? Why are you hitting me?" I snarled.The woman reached for my hair. "Why?! You really have the nerve to ask why? You tried to seduce my boyfriend!"I kicked her off me. "What are you talking about? I don't know your boyfriend. You've clearly got the wrong person."Shirley hurried to help the woman up."Riley, are you okay?" she asked. Riley Schubert shook her hand and stared at me like she wanted to tear me apart."My boyfriend is Steven Luxton, the CEO of Luxton Group. Now, tell me again you have nothing to do with him. You home‑wrecking wretch, I ought to beat you to death!"The moment she said Steven's name, I finally put the pieces together. Riley had to be Steven's girlfriend. Steven really had terrible taste. Of all people, he picked a woman who couldn't tell right from wrong.I opened my mouth to explain. "I do know Steven Luxton. He's…"Smack!Before I finished, Chris stormed over and slap

Everyone else avoided me, terrified I'd call them out. Only Chris scooped me up, carried me to the infirmary, and even ran to the grocery store to buy me chocolate.A girl's first crush was always passionate. Since then, I fell hard for Chris and began pursuing him relentlessly.By junior year, Chris finally agreed to be with me. That day, I was over the moon.Even when he introduced Shirley to me and said she was his neighbor, I never doubted him. I had always bought Shirley gifts and treated her like my own sister.It wasn't until they killed me that I realized the truth. They were never just neighbors; they were a couple.Thankfully, while I was with Chris, I never revealed my real identity.I only told him my parents had died when I was young and that my brother had raised me. Life had been tough.In reality, Steven was the CEO of Luxton Group. He was also the richest man in Joventon City.When Chris decided to start a company, I stuck by him. I secretly used the Luxton f

Shirley gave me a look that implied a hidden meaning."Janet, you're not holding a grudge and targeting our company on purpose, are you? If that's the case, I'm willing to apologize. I can even quit if you want. Please don't go after our company. So many people have poured their hearts into it."The moment Chris saw Shirley looking wronged, he blew up."Janet, that's enough! Stop messing around and just sign the contract. You can come back to our company after this. You'll still be the project lead on everything after that."I was completely done. I turned to Mr. Layton."Mr. Layton, from now on, I don't want to see them anywhere near Luxton Group. Luxton Group will cut ties with any company that works with them as well."Right after I said that, Chris threw a fit."Janet, who do you think you are? You're just a project manager! What right do you have to blacklist our company on behalf of Luxton Group?" he roared. I didn't bother arguing. Instead, I turned and walked away. T

When Chris saw me, he walked over with an annoyed look on his face."Janet, you still have the nerve to be here? Get out! If you ruin our partnership with Luxton Group, I swear I won't let you off."He looked around the shop, and when he saw that the only person there besides me was the staff, he turned to the executive staff member."Mr. Layton, didn't you say the project lead was here? Where is she?"Mr. Layton shoved Chris aside and walked toward me with an apologetic expression. "Ms. Saunders, why are you out here? Why didn't you go inside?"I glanced at Chris briefly. "I did. They kicked me out and said they were afraid I'd mess up their collaboration with Luxton Group."Mr. Layton immediately understood. Fury flashed across his face as he glared at Chris."Ms. Saunders, causing trouble? Let me make something clear! The entire Luxton Group project moves with her word. Without her, this project doesn't go forward with anybody."Chris and Shirley stared at me in stunned sile

When I heard that, I grabbed my bag and stood up."Great. I'll leave right now. And since you fired me, don't forget my tripled severance."I walked out of the company without looking back.Once outside, I called my brother, Steven Luxton."Steven, cancel the partnership. Chris fired me."Steven was shocked. "Isn't Chris your boyfriend? You two built that company when you were still in college. Why did he fire you?"I told Steven everything that happened. Steven slammed the table in anger."Break up with him. Immediately! A guy like that is trash. I'll find you someone more handsome and loyal. As for that partnership, forget it. If it weren't for you, a tiny company like his wouldn't even make it past our first round of screening."After getting home, I still felt frustrated when I thought about all the effort I had put in.Steven saw how down I was and read my mind instantly."Janet, come to my company. You can handle this partnership yourself. Get familiar with the place.
