When Nine Years End Chapter 9
Anne didn’t look too pleased when she saw us coming out together.Hayden glanced at her, then lowered her head and spoke to me.“I’ll head off first. See you tomorrow.“If anything happens, call me.”Anne walked over.“Sean, I’ve already made Shawn pay for what he did.“I realize I was wrong. I was blind. I mistook fool’s gold for the real thing.“I’ll make it up to you. Whatever you want, I’ll give it to you. Can you give me one more chance?”I raised an eyebrow.“Anything I want?”She nodded firmly, a glimmer of hope appearing in her eyes.“Yes.”“Then what I want is for you to stay away from me.”Anne took a step back, her voice trembling.“Sean, we’ve been together for nine years. I don’t believe you can just move on like this!“I really love you.”As she spoke, she suddenly remembered something and quickly took something out of her pocket.It was the little tiger charm I had given her years ago.“Sean, look. I’ve put this back on.”I looked at the dust caked on

I found a new apartment to rent, not far from my new company.I only brought a few basic clothes with me. Almost everything Anne had given me over the years was left behind.My new colleagues were all kind, and I settled in quickly.A few days later, while I was working overtime, carefully checking through some data, my phone rang. It was a call from an old colleague.“Sean, you really joined Cloudview?”“Yeah.”“Have you heard? Anne sued Shawn.”My hand froze on the mouse.“He took money from a rival company and deliberately sabotaged the partnership.“I heard he was sentenced to two years and had to pay a hefty fine too!”“Sean, Ms. Nash also corrected all the performance records that were previously wrongly credited to him.“Aren’t you really going to consider coming back?”My voice was calm and steady as I said, “No, I’m not”After hanging up, I was unfazed and simply continued working.A cup of coffee appeared on my desk.It was Hayden.“Everyone’s already off wo

Anne sat frozen in her chair.Her hands were clenched into fists so tightly that her knuckles turned white.Shawn was crying foul.“He’s clearly using his position to carry out a personal vendetta!“I don’t believe Hayden Quint, the CEO, would allow him to do something like this!”A thought suddenly crossed Anne’s mind.That was right!Even if Sean had gone to Cloudview just to get back at them, Anne didn’t believe Hayden Quint would tolerate him damaging the company’s interests after learning the truth of the incident.All she had to do was tell Hayden that Sean had sabotaged the company’s project out of personal resentment.In her mind, Sean would definitely be fired again, and then he would have no choice but to come back to her!When I walked out of the clubhouse, the sky outside was bright and clear.The frustration that had been weighing heavily on my chest had finally been lifted.Actually, when I first began working with Cloudview on the project, I met the person in

Anne stopped in her tracks.She pulled out her phone and opened her conversation with Sean.“Let’s go get our marriage license tomorrow afternoon.”She thought he should have cooled down by now. After all, she had already chosen to let the matter go.But the chat remained completely silent.She placed her phone face down on the table, as if doing so could help her avoid facing something. Then, she turned her attention to helping Shawn organize the project data.It was already late by the time they finished. She ended up staying overnight at the office.The next morning, in a clubhouse top-floor private room, Anne arrived early with Shawn. He seemed nervous as he said, “I wonder what the new manager at Cloudview is like. What if he’s even harder to deal with than the last one?”Anne patted the back of his hand reassuringly.“Don’t worry. I looked into him. The new guy is a young man, and it seems he graduated from the same university as us.“It should be fine.”The moment s

After the statement was released, Anne looked utterly exhausted.She pinched the bridge of her nose and looked at Shawn, who still had his head lowered.“I’ll let it slide this time, but next time, pay closer attention to your work and don’t trust anyone.”Even after hearing that, Shawn still looked aggrieved. As usual, he tried acting like a spoiled child.“Oh, Anne…”But she waved him away, signaling for him to leave. She was deeply annoyed, especially because of the look Sean had given her before he left.It was as though she had truly driven Sean to the edge.Clearly, Sean had been the one who started it.If she hadn't let Shawn hit back, word would’ve spread that she was playing favorites.Did Sean really think she wouldn’t stand up for Shawn? She had only wanted to knock Sean down a peg.Over the years, Sean had climbed the corporate ladder step by step, gaining more and more core projects and company resources.At meetings, some employees had even begun watching his

Anne straightened up, with a faint, knowing smile on her face.“Stop making a scene, Sean.“We've been together for nine years. Everyone in our circle knows that.“Besides, who would want a man in his thirties?“You know it as well as I do, without the company—and without me—you're nothing."So these were her true thoughts. Even though I'd already given up, my heart still ached as if pierced.I forced down the lump rising in my throat."I'm not messing around. I’ve already canceled the appointment. It was supposed to be that day…"Before I could finish, Anne's phone rang.Her voice immediately softened when she answered it."What is it, Shawny? What did Cloudview say?"The panic in the voice on the other end made her expression change instantly.As soon as she hung up, she strode toward the door."We'll postpone getting the marriage license. Something's happened with Shawn."Before I could say a word, she hurried out the door.I laughed at myself. Whenever something happ
