Semua Bab A Pointless Tantrum: Bab 1 - Bab 9

Rebecca knew when she should let up, and she was doing exactly that. I understood that.Right before my eyes, Rebecca booked a table at a restaurant and invited me to join her for lunch. I didn't decline.After all, I was also curious about what exactly she was trying to do.When I left Rebecca's office, I bumped into Hugh.He seemed to be waiting for me on purpose. When he saw me coming out, he put on a gleeful smile. "Derek, you're back! I thought you went to work in retail for real. It's not nice to play hard-to-get, you know."When I heard that, I just said calmly, "You guys are not worth me pulling any tricks.""What do you mean by that?" Hugh asked.I explained, "I mean, I don't want her anymore. Do whatever you want."With that, I shoved him away. To my surprise, Hugh proceeded to fake an injury. He instantly took several steps backward and hit a corner of a table.Documents crashed onto the floor and scattered everywhere. Hugh lay on the floor with a pained expressio

Catherine immediately turned around to leave. Hugh was bewildered.Rebecca began to panic. "Ms. Campbell! I can explain! I'll get Derek here right now, so please hold on! Just a minute!"Catherine wouldn't wait, of course. She left right away.I was playing games in the office. I was getting to the good part when I heard footsteps at the entrance.Then, a figure barged in and slapped me on sight. "Derek, you bastard! Look at what you did!"I touched my face, feeling a little stunned. Then, when I recovered my senses, I scoffed at the intruder. "This is your second time hitting me, Rebecca. I'm calling the cops!"Rebecca was shaking in fury. "You wouldn't dare! Tell me. What did you say to Ironstone Tech? Catherine left as soon as she got here and saw me. She even said that she had already discussed it with you. If you don't get her to come back, I won't let you off the hook!"Without another word, I got up to leave. Rebecca shouted angrily, "Stop! Where are you going?""I'm

Rebecca was stunned by the questions. She turned to look at me, but I pretended I hadn't seen the pleading look in her eyes. In the end, she couldn't hold it in anymore. She spoke up, "Derek, you do the talking!"I shrugged. "I've already resigned. I'm not suitable for the job.""Derek, quit making a fuss. You're the one who has been in charge of this partnership since day one. You do the explanations! I'll pay you your dues when you're done!" Rebecca snapped.I hastily stopped her. "Ms. Shaw, we're already divorced. I've also handed over this task, so if you're not competent enough, you just have to get better!"Catherine smiled. "So Mr. Quinton was the one who did all this? I knew it. Other people can't possibly create such things with intelligence like theirs. Mr. Quinton, let's discuss this in detail, president to president!""'President'?" Rebecca was shocked. I shrugged. I had already started my own company on the day the divorce agreement was signed. I had worked for Re

In the photo, Hugh's face had turned red and swollen from getting a beating. His pinky finger was bandaged as well. He sobbed pitifully as he accused me of abusing my power to settle personal scores. He claimed that he was forced to quit his job because of me.He even exposed the name of the company I was currently working in. When Evan and the others saw that, they instantly flew into a rage.I had no idea how Hugh managed to win those women's hearts, but surprisingly enough, several ignorant haters had turned into his fans.After hearing his accusations, they began slandering and insulting me on my company's official page. I kept evidence of all their deeds and replied to their comments one by one.I wrote a comment. "Hugh, you're the homewrecker who destroyed my marriage. These are all the photos you sent to me to taunt me. You've admitted to that, haven't you?"You're just a homewrecker, but you kept getting on my nerves on purpose. You were so determined to rely on a woman th
