Semua Bab Mom, We Got You a Husband!: Bab 81 - Bab 90

I stared at Leonard, who was standing a short distance away, and could clearly see the anger in his eyes. But with Nardy there, he didn’t dare say anything.That’s when I realized—he was nothing but a coward.Nardy’s gaze shifted to Leonard. Wrapping his arm around me, he walked over to him and looked at him with no emotion.“What a coincidence, Mr. Parker. It seems like every time we meet, I always find you pestering my woman.”Nardy’s voice was cold as he spoke to Leonard, his face completely blank. For some reason, I felt a sense of pressure coming from him.When Leonard saw Nardy, he seemed a little nervous. And as Nardy spoke, he looked even more flustered.The tough guy act he had earlier was completely gone, replaced with a nervous, weak expression. Inside, I couldn’t help but feel disgusted by him. Hah! He acted so high and mighty earlier, but now he can’t even speak in front of Nardy. I never realized how much of a coward he really was!“This is all a misunderstanding, Mr. Edw

“How could you get fired just for being late?” Nardy frowned and looked at me in confusion. I lowered my head and quietly said, “Well, I might be the first one to be fired for that because I upset my supervisor before. Since then, he’s been holding a grudge against me. Also, everyone in my department is against me right now. So, I could be fired for even a small mistake.” I haven’t felt like going to work lately because I could feel that my colleagues were avoiding me. On top of that, Rodel was making things worse by giving me a lot of work after I turned him down. He piled tasks on me from my department and other departments. “But why?” Nardy’s frown deepened as he looked at me, puzzled. At first, I didn’t want to tell him about Rodel’s behavior, but the feeling of frustration inside me was too much. Almost everyone thought I tried to use Rodel to get ahead in my career. They saw me as a shameless woman trying to climb the ladder by using others. I couldn’t hold it in anymore, so

When I said that, everyone turned to look at Rodel, realizing that he was trying to ruin my reputation. Rodel noticed all the eyes on him, and his face changed slightly, as if he felt guilty. But he was the department head, so he quickly regained his confident look. “So what if you called to ask for leave? Since I didn’t approve it, that means you skipped work. You’re fired, Shayeen. You have ten minutes to pack up and leave!” Rodel was determined to fire me. The small guilt he showed earlier was gone now. My anger grew because I knew he was just trying to punish me. Thinking about the condition he had suggested over the phone the day before, a sarcastic smile appeared on my face as I spoke coldly, “Did you reject my leave because I didn’t agree to your disgusting request? It’s a shame Joyful Success has someone like you as a department head. You’re a disgrace to this company!” “Stop making things up, Shayeen! One more word, and I’ll call security on you!” Rodel looked panicked,

“I didn’t do it for you. Rodel has done a lot of things that are harmful to the company. There was no way I’d allow him to stay.”Just when my heart was brimming with excitement, Nardy’s words hit me like a bucket of cold water.So, it wasn’t because of me at all. He didn’t come for me. He was already planning to get rid of Rodel because of his actions. I guess it was all just my wishful thinking.Feeling a little deflated, I looked away and murmured, “Oh, I see.”Nardy turned to look at me but didn’t say anything else. The silence between us grew thick and heavy, and my chest felt tight with unease.Everything I had planned to say to him just evaporated. The words stuck in my throat.The silence dragged on. Just as it reached a suffocating point and I was considering leaving the car, Nardy spoke again.“You asked me out because of this?”As usual, his expression was unreadable. I had no idea what was going on in his mind.I suppressed my disappointment and answered in a flat voice, t

He sat up and looked at me, asking a question. I looked away, feeling nervous. I didn’t know why he made me so uneasy, especially since I hadn’t done anything wrong.“I haven’t forgotten our agreement,” I said. “The problem is my family keeps pushing me to get married because of my age. My parents are getting older, and I don’t want them to worry about me.”Whenever my parents called, they’d ask me to get a boyfriend. I didn’t have anyone in mind, but I didn’t want them to worry about me anymore.Nardy stayed quiet for a moment after hearing me out. Then he said, “You can find a boyfriend, but until you do, we’ll keep our relationship.”I felt frustrated and wanted to say no, but I realized that asking him to end things just because he gave me money was unfair. So, I agreed.“Okay, we’ll end things once I find a boyfriend.”It wasn’t exactly what I wanted, but at least he gave me an escape from the relationship.He looked at me seriously, accepted the new deal, and then turned over to
