LOGIN"I'm sorry, Harold! I won't come to the bar ever again… Ah, you can't touch me there…" A drunk, beautiful woman clad in a pair of black stockings can be seen at the entrance of a bar at midnight. Since she's lying on the sidewalk, her white panties are all exposed. Elated, I stick my hand beneath her skirt. Little do I know that the woman, Crystal Conley, has mistaken me for her sugar daddy, Harold Townsend, and thinks that I'm here to teach her a lesson. She's so petrified that she dares not move a muscle. I use the opportunity to part her legs and pin her down hungrily. Poor Crystal shrieks in fright, "How could you punish me like this, Harold?"

"This contains the original ledgers of Harold's money laundering and a list of people who took bribes from him."I didn't dare use it before because there was no evidence directly linking him to it. But now, combined with the tax evasion evidence you have, it's enough to put him away for life. However—"She looked me in the eye. "Once you hand this over, there's no turning back. You might get investigated yourself or even face retaliation."I picked up the flash drive, its cool touch sobering me up."I don't have a choice."After getting the flash drive, I said goodbye to Mindy and went home.At 8:30 am the next day, Harold called me into his office.He was sitting on a leather couch, fiddling with a pen. When he saw me come in, he sneered, "Have you made up your mind?"I placed a folder on his de
My colleagues lowered their heads, pretending to work. No one dared to look our way.I stood up and followed Harold into the office. As soon as the door closed, he dumped everything in the folder onto the desk.There were several photos of me and Crystal entering my house the day before."You sure are living it up, aren't you?" Harold said through gritted teeth, jabbing his finger into my chest. "You think you've won?"I simply stared at him without saying anything."The revenue is just doing a routine check. You really think that's going to do anything to me?"He let out a cold laugh. Then, he pulled a document out of his drawer and tossed it to me."Here's the company's non-compete agreement. Sign it, then get the hell out. And you're not allowed to ever set foot in this city again."I flipped open the document. The terms were harsh—I couldn't work in related industries for three years and had to resign immediately."I'm not signing this," I said, throwing the document back
Crystal looked up. When she saw me, her previously dim eyes suddenly lit up.She instinctively wanted to run toward me, but Harold grabbed her wrist in a tight grip, making her frown.He cornered me against the wall, the smell of cigar smoke on him making it hard to breathe."You punk. You think I've been cutting you some slack at the office?" He slammed the car keys against my chest. "Stay away from Crystal. Otherwise, you can go pick up your resignation letter from HR right now."And I'll make sure every competitor in the industry knows that hiring you means crossing me."I clutched my chest but didn't back down. I looked past him at Crystal. She was biting her lip, her eyes red as she looked at me."Let her go," I said. "She's a person, not your possession."Harold laughed and raised his hand to shove my shoulder. After sidestepping, I pulled out my phone and shoved it right in his face.On the screen was a picture of him and Megan pulling at each other outside a hotel entra
Crystal smiled. It was a look tinged with a hint of finality, as if she'd finally let go of a heavy burden.We exchanged contact information and then hurriedly parted ways like thieves, each disappearing into the night.At that moment, I believed in the power of love—that I could pull her out of the mess she was trapped in.However, the universe decided to play a huge joke on me.We had our weekly meeting at the office on Monday morning. The conference room door swung open, and our notoriously hot-tempered, control-freak boss strode right in.Harold wasn't just the head of the company; he was also a well-known ruthless figure in the industry.Rumor had it he had a violent temper. If anything annoyed him in the slightest, he'd curse loudly and even smash things.Just as he turned around to write on the whiteboard, the blood in my veins ran cold.Was he Crystal's sugar daddy?I froze in my seat, cold sweat soaking my back.My appointment with Crystal on Saturday now felt like a
