The Last Fireworks Chapter 7
On top of that, after Zoey submitted her resignation last time, she uploaded the video of Clarence instructing his employees to slap me that day onto the internet.His company had been hanging by a thread since then.While he was busy trying to save his company, Naomi was busy trying to salvage her relationship with him.He avoided her and directly fired her from the company, citing her poor performance as an excuse.I had not expected him to be so ruthless.Naomi had held onto some leverage too. They must not have reached an agreement, because she leaked his bedroom photos in the end. The two of them fought like cats and dogs and became the laughingstock of their circle for a long time.In the end, Clarence called the police, and Naomi was detained for a period of time before things finally calmed down.His eyes were bloodshot from exhaustion and his expression haggard. He had lost a noticeable amount of weight.He smiled bitterly and said, “Lucie, if you’d just come to me

Without hesitation, Clarence rushed over, completely forgetting about Naomi, who was still holding onto his arm.She lost her balance and was thrown to the floor by his sudden movements.He did not even glance back at her as he sprinted toward me.He reached out to grab me, but Ascher stepped in and blocked him first.The smile on Ascher’s face grew even brighter.“Clarence, you made it! Let me introduce you to my fiancee, Lucia.”Clarence became furious as he asked through gritted teeth, “Since when did my girlfriend become your fiancee? I must have missed that memo.”I gave Ascher a pinch. He gave me a pouty look but obediently wiped that smug grin off his face.I said coldly, “Clarence, watch your mouth. We broke up a long time ago.“I’m not your girlfriend anymore.”My words made Clarence stagger a couple of steps back. He nearly fell over.Behind him, Naomi, who had just scrambled back up in disgrace, shot me a resentful look.She bit her lower lip and reached her ha

He started to panic.“No way...”He knew how much Lucia cared about him.Over the past few years, she had brought up the topic of marriage more than once.If a woman was the one initiating the conversation about getting married, that meant she had already decided that he was the one for life.So, Clarence had always assumed that she would always stay by his side. He never once worried about losing her. He figured that all he had to do was say the word, and she would drop everything and race him to the city hall without a second thought.Where else could she even go?She had long cut off contact with her parents. She only occasionally kept in touch with her uncle, but she knew her aunt did not want to see her, so there was no way she would go to her uncle’s place.What about that small apartment she had bought with her own savings?His eyes lit up for a moment. He quickly grabbed his bag and drove toward the west side of the city.When he arrived at the west side, he stopp

“Her resignation has been rejected. Effective immediately, she’s fired. Her bonus will be given to Naomi instead.”My eyes widened in shock. I was in disbelief.Anger washed over me as I shouted, “Clarence, that bonus is mine! I earned it. Who do you think you are?”According to company policy, the bonus amount was determined by the value of the projects each person secured.I was the one who negotiated business deals, drafted proposals, finalized agreements, and haggled with clients.I drank until the wee hours of the morning just to squeeze out one more percentage point.I needed that year-end bonus to pay off my mortgage.When I was a child, my parents divorced, and neither of them wanted me. They tossed me back and forth like a soccer ball.I was dumped at my uncle’s house, where my aunt hated me. She often threatened to throw me out if I did not behave.Because of that, even as an adult, I was deeply afraid of having nowhere to go.After I got together with Clarence, I c

After a long moment, his voice turned somewhat hoarse as he asked hesitantly, “Why aren’t you upset anymore?”So, he had known all along that I had been upset.But he had acted clueless about it all.Instead, he had always snapped at me, saying that I was petty, and that people who always assumed the worst in others were usually projecting.I was just about to tell him that I was moving out, when his phone rang.Naomi was sobbing on the other end of the line, saying that someone had bullied her.He glared at me furiously and sneered, “So, this is what you’ve been setting up all along. Lucia, you’re something else.”Before I could even figure out what was happening, he grabbed my wrist forcefully and pulled me into the car.I could smell ladies’ perfume inside the car. It was similar to the fragrance Naomi wore.A Labubu doll hung from the rearview mirror, which matched Naomi’s WhatsApp profile picture.I had not set foot in his car once ever since I started working at his com

He had been there when the deal fell through.We had already negotiated to the end, and the other party had agreed to our cooperation. Then, Naomi had burst in and insisted on toasting the CEO of the client company, Robert Lance.Robert had not even tried to hide his displeasure.She continued behaving as if she were completely oblivious. As a fresh intern, she was pushing Robert to have a drink with her. I could not fathom how she had the audacity.Robert became angry. I held her back and put on an apologetic smile to appease Robert.I told her to drink three glasses as a penalty for herself. She started crying loudly.“Lucia, why do you have to tear other women down? Why do you always have to push me into doing things I don’t want to do?”At that moment, Clarence’s expression had been extremely grim.I assumed his anger was over the deal that we had had in the bag, only to watch it fall apart at the last second.But his anger came from the fact that I had made Naomi ap
