One year later, I became the operations manager for Glazed Light’s e-commerce channel, and I was invited to join a summit for luxury goods abroad.

The moment I showed up, plenty of peers surrounded me to talk to me. Among them were brands I had worked with before. Some of them were also people who had heard of the scandal in the past.

  • The Game Is On   Chapter 9

    One year later, I became the operations manager for Glazed Light’s e-commerce channel, and I was invited to join a summit for luxury goods abroad. The moment I showed up, plenty of peers surrounded me to talk to me. Among them were brands I had worked with before. Some of them were also people who had heard of the scandal in the past. The second group only respected and envied me for my achievements in my job. Through my own efforts, I had made Glazed Light’s profit increase by 60% in just one year, and the company became the best jewelry company in the world. Once I finished socializing with these people, I finally had time to go to the entrance to take a breather. “Claude…” A faint voice came from behind me. Before I even turned around, I smelled a pungent perfume. Unable to control myself, I sneezed twice. Someone handed me a pack of tissues. The woman had thick makeup on, and her out-of-style, haute couture gown clung to her chest tightly. Even though she did not

    “You affected Glazed Light’s reputation. This is what your company deserves.”Yvonne’s heart skipped a beat. She wanted to explain herself, but Wendy refused to listen. In Yvonne’s anger, she pointed at Lloyd and vented her rage at him. “If the company suffers any losses because of you, you’re paying for it!”Panic filled Lloyd’s face, and he wanted to hold Naomi’s hand, but she avoided him. “What’s going on?”Naomi’s expression was complicated, but she sounded nervous. That was something I rarely saw in her. “You saw it yourself yesterday. How was I supposed to know that they weren’t… I just thought that things were really unfair for you!”Naomi relaxed a little and turned to Yvonne. “I’m sure that he didn’t do it on purpose. If there are any losses, I’ll bear them.”She then cast a glance at Wendy and said stiffly, “I’m sure that you’ll find it in your heart to not hold this against Lloyd, Miss Clark.”Lloyd sighed in relief and immediately agreed. “That’s right! It’s all

    I nodded and left the makeup room. The gazes trained on me were either indifferent or shocked. Their gazes looked as complicated as a tangled ball of yarn. Before me was a group of reporters who had been waiting for a long time. Lloyd said mockingly, “Naomi, he’s just paying for his actions.”“He deserves it! Don’t talk about him anymore in front of me. Whether he dies or not has nothing to do with me anymore,” Naomi hissed coldly. Sighs rose like a tidal wave in my ears. “He’s just too greedy, and now, he has nothing left.”“He’s not worthy of his status; that’s why he’s got disaster knocking on his door.”The photographers trained their cameras on me. Right when I wanted to bring out my phone, the elevator doors suddenly opened, and the receptionist brought a few guests over. However, she seemed tense, like she was doing something really important, and she could not afford to mess up. “Claude, the general manager of Glazed Light is asking for you.”After that brief

    Lloyd’s grin was like that of a cat who caught the mouse, and Naomi’s silence also told me she agreed to this. I also heard the words of the people who were kicking me while I was down. Then, I laughed. It led to the people going silent, and it stood out in the quiet room. All of them stared at me while I faced Naomi and asked, “Ask yourself. If it weren’t for Lloyd, would so many problems have surfaced? This is your ‘best friend,’ I see.”Then, I walked up to Yvonne calmly. I even felt as if a burden had been removed from my shoulders. “Didn’t you say you wanted to have a press conference? I’ll answer the people’s questions, and I’ll let the people online decide what is real and fake.”I swept my gaze over Naomi and Lloyd. Then, I looked at the scattered bits of light on the window. At the moment I pushed the crowd away and made to leave, Naomi whipped her head up, as if she had been struck by lightning. “Wait!”With a complicated gaze, she turned to Yvonne. “The leaks mi

    The next morning, I sent a message to Wendy. [I’m sorry for yesterday. If you ever need my help, please tell me.]When I went back to the company, I heard whispers all around me. “No way. Wendy Clark seriously slept with him?”“All of them are so wild, even though they pretend to be all prim and proper.”“Naomi is so pitiful.”Very calmly, I walked past them and went straight to the makeup room. Naomi was sitting behind a large makeup table and talking to the agent company. When she saw me, she was shocked. Her eyes were filled with exhaustion and frustration. “Explain this.”She handed the phone to me. I frowned in confusion. Then, I heard the insults from the phone. “How dare you lay your hands on Wendy Clark?! Don’t you know your own place?!“Right now, everyone online is talking about you cheating. What are we supposed to do about this?! You’re just never serious, are you? All you care about is satisfying your own libido!“Solve this on your own.”Shock filled

    Wendy exposed their adultery with just a few simple words, instantly causing Naomi and Lloyd’s faces to turn red with shame. “Nothing is going on between us. What on earth are you saying?!”In a completely nonchalant manner, Wendy leaned against the counter and smiled. “If nothing is going on between you two, then nothing’s going on. Why are you so worked up?”“We’re not!” Lloyd shot back, but to the others, his actions just proved Wendy’s accusation to be true. Feeling troubled, Naomi nudged him. Realizing what was going on, Lloyd turned stiff and awkward. “Why aren’t you saying anything, Claude?” Wendy questioned. Naomi turned her face and stood further away, but she was looking at me from the corner of her eye. Lloyd regained his composure and continued, “He just got exposed and doesn’t know how to pretend to be innocent anymore.”“You seem to know what you’re talking about. Have you been exposed before?” I asked coolly. Lloyd’s smile stiffened, and he wanted to yell
