Chapter 1

"I'm Matthew Wells' girlfriend, Lydia Stone. I'd like to lodge an official report against Dana Lombard, who's ten years older than my boyfriend, for choosing to become his side chick despite knowing he's in a relationship with me!"Matthew has already admitted to me earlier that Dana intentionally got closer to him by abusing her power as her superior! Not only that, but she also coerced and threatened him into starting a relationship with her!"Just now, Dana even took advantage of her intoxicated state to sit in the front passenger seat of Matthew's car on purpose! Everyone here should know the significance of that seat, right? It's reserved for men's actual girlfriends only! No other women are allowed to sit in that seat!"Dana's clearly taunting me! I can't tolerate her actions any longer! That's why I choose to let loose of everything now! I hope that Pearson Group can prioritize dealing with this matter due to its severity! Don't let an employee with bad ethics ruin the compan

My department was the sales department. When the employees of this department got super busy, there was no such thing as getting off work at all.Because of that, I formally requested the right for the sales department's employees to have flexible work schedules while enduring immense pressure from the top brass. Now that the system was in place, I had to spend my off-work hours drinking with potential clients in order to secure business deals with them.However, my act of kindness became a legitimate loophole for the sales department's employees to justify their tendency to show up late and leave work earlier than usual.Initially, I chose to pretend not to notice anything because I thought everyone in the sales department had it tough. But to think that an intern, who had yet to transition into a full-fledged employee in this company, dared to abuse this system and show up late for work just because he got into a fight with his girlfriend!People would only continue to take advan

I looked at the ones who talked behind my back just now. All of those faces were familiar to me. Even the one who had the shortest work experience in Pearson Group had been working for me for three years.Over the past few years, I had set sales targets for everyone in the sales department and had them ranked according to their sales performance on an internal basis. But when it came to presenting the data to the rest of the company, I'd distribute my sales performance to the people who had performed poorly during the quarter. That way, everyone would be entitled to big fat bonuses at the end of the year so that they could celebrate their New Year holidays happily.It turned out that my subordinates all viewed the sales performance that I had put great effort into achieving as nothing but results I had yielded from selling my body to other clients.They weren't grateful to me at all. Instead, they all looked down on me disdainfully.In fact, when I was slandered in my previous li

The strong Albaricano coffee was slightly bitter, yet its rich aftertone kept lingering on my tongue the whole time.I raised my head to look at Ramona. She wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and had her hair styled properly without a strand out of place. At the moment she looked extremely smug and ambitious.To me, ambition wasn't a bad thing to have. In fact, ambitious people were often bold enough to work hard for what they wanted.However, if one chose to ascend in ranks by sabotaging others, their ambitiousness would be warped entirely.Upon realizing that I ignored her, Ramona's temper flared instantly. "Dana Lombard, you've already been suspended! What makes you think you have the right to stay here, huh?"You vixen! Serves you right! How dare a woman like you lust after Mr. Pearson!"It was then I suddenly recalled the moment when I was pushed down the stairs in my previous life. A voice had drifted into my ear at that time. "You kept overshadowing me no matter what I d

"Don't you know, Dana? Pearson Group isn't as influential as it once was. If Mr. Pearson doesn't show up at this gathering, his company's future will be extremely bleak."Harold Jones, who sat at the same table, rubbed his belly with his left hand while making fun of Xander with a grin on his face. At the same time, his right hand rested on Ramona's lap.Ramona wore a knit dress with a deep cut on the front. Disdain flashed across her eyes, though she was forced to maintain the smile. "Mr. Jones, let's talk about the contract…""I'll sign it!" Mr. Jones then pointed at a bottle of vodka, which contained 53% alcohol by volume. "That is, if you down that bottle."Ramona's smile froze on her face. Vodka with 53% ABV would definitely kill her if she were to down one of those bottles in one go.But she dared not turn Mr. Jones down. All she could do was act coquettish in front of him.Xander flung his wine glass away, his expression already dark. "Forget about the contract, then!"

It was fall in the blink of an eye.Kronos City welcomed the biggest project for the first time in almost three years. 15 acres of land that was located in the central section of Southern Kronos would go on auction soon. It was meant to become the grounds for a multi-functional fashion and retail hub that focused on selling branded goods, providing the masses with gourmet cuisines, and promoting better lifestyles.Once the news got out, all the companies with the right to participate in the bidding war were raring to go.I summoned Kelly and her team to the meeting room. There, we held a meeting that went on throughout the night. After that, we spent three days and nights on our bidding project proposal. Finally, we were able to get the documents submitted on time.On the day of the bidding war, Xander personally showed up at the city hall with Ramona.When Ramona saw me, she moved to link arms with Xander. I just raised an eyebrow in return.Oh? It seemed that she finally became

My personal information such as my private phone number and address was leaked on the Internet.Every day, my company would receive threat letters in the mail. Even when I was walking on the street, someone would splash urine at me or pelt me with rotten eggs.Matthew took advantage of the incident's popularity by hosting livestreams at Pearson Group. Every day, he'd show the Internet users his working environment. Ramona would pop up in the livestream from time to time.Occasionally, Matthew would bump into Xander, who'd smile at the camera. If he was in a good mood, he'd even stop and say hello to the audience.The audience commented on how wonderful Pearson Group was."I'm so jealous that I'm practically drooling right now!""The working environment at Pearson Group is amazing! Is the company still hiring?""I'd like to apply for a position there! I can serve coffee, and sweep the floor, and I can even entertain guests by singing! Can I join Pearson Group?"A few days later,

Two months later, huge news swept across the entire nation instantly.After the construction work on Plot C-3 in Southern Kronos was kicked into motion, it was revealed that an ancient catacomb was found beneath the plot. Based on the initial outlook, it seemed that the actual era of the catacomb was still undefined.Archaeologists flew into Kronos City from all over the world. They began digging and studying the relics in the catacomb overnight.At the same time, the mass media reported on the important discovery under Plot C-3.Meanwhile, Xander picked up his office chair and hurled it at his desk. He ended up trashing his office badly.For the first time after three long years, I received a phone call from him in the middle of the night."Dana, can you… return the compensation fee to me?"What a shameless bastard.I hung up on Xander right away before blocking his number.Pearson Group had invested all of its capital flow into the C-3 project in Southern Kronos.
