《BILLIONAIRE HEIRESS' REVENGE 》全部章節：第 131 章 - 第 139 章

It’s been a week since Adrian stopped talking to me.Seven long days of walking through the same halls, sitting through the same meetings, breathing the same air and pretending not to notice him.He doesn’t look at me.Not once.Not even when I speak during meetings. He keeps his eyes on the screen, his tone polite, his face unreadable. Like we never shared anything. Like I don’t exist.People have started to notice.Whispers float around the office like dust…quiet, and impossible to ignore.Did something happen between them?Why doesn’t Mr. Adrian talk to her anymore?Maybe she made him mad.I tell myself it doesn’t matter. That I deserve the silence. But some nights, when I can’t sleep, I replay that last look on his face, the anger, the hurt and it cuts deeper than I expect.By Thursday, the office buzzes with talk about the big presentation and the company gala that will follow. It’s for the new partnership deal with an international firm. Everyone’s excited. Everyone but me.At

The office felt heavier than usual this morning. The walls looked the same, the desks still lined in neat rows, but something inside me had changed.Adrian had not spoken to me in more than two weeks. He passed me in the hallway as if I were air. He joined meetings and never once looked in my direction. His silence had turned into a wall, and each day it grew higher.At first, I told myself I could handle it. I tried to lose myself in work, in reports, in emails. I tried to make it seem normal. But every hour that passed made me realize I was pretending. The more I tried to stay strong, the more it hurt.That morning I sat at my desk and stared at my computer screen for a long time. The numbers blurred until they stopped meaning anything. I felt tired, inside and out. It was not just about him anymore. It was about peace, and how far away it felt.So I opened a new document and started typing a letter. My hands shook a little.To the Human Resources Department,I am requesting a trans

New York feels like another planet.The air is colder, the people move faster, and even the silence has a sound. I have only been here for a week, but it already feels like I have been living a different life for months. Every morning, I wake up before sunrise and watch the city lights fade as the sky turns pale. It should feel exciting. It should feel like a new beginning. But it doesn’t. It only feels quiet.Sometimes I wonder if peace can also hurt.My apartment is small but neat. The bed faces a tall window that shows part of the city skyline. At night, the lights from other buildings keep me company. I like to imagine that behind every glowing window, someone else is also trying to figure out how to start over.Work starts at eight. I leave early every day because I don’t want to be late, even though the office is only a few blocks away. I walk instead of taking a cab. The air bites my skin, but it helps clear my head. The streets are busy with people holding coffee cups, talking

Ellie’s POVWhen I saw him standing in the lobby of the American branch, my whole body froze. For a moment, I thought I was dreaming. The light from the tall glass windows hit his face, and everything around me stopped moving. Adrian. Here.He was dressed in his usual calm style, dark suit, clean tie, sharp eyes. The kind of man who could walk into any room and make people turn. But for me, the air felt too heavy to breathe. My fingers gripped the folder I was holding so tightly that the edges bent.He looked right at me, and my stomach twisted. For a second, his eyes softened. Then his expression changed… that same distant look I used to hate.“Ellie,” he said simply.I nodded once, trying to look calm. “Sir.”He blinked, maybe surprised by the formality. “I didn’t know you were here.”I gave a small, forced smile. “Transfer. It was approved last month.”He nodded slowly, eyes never leaving me. “I’m here for business.”Of course he was. That’s what he wanted me to believe. But somet
