《CEO PLUS SIZE CRUSH》全部章節：第 171 章 - 第 180 章

"I know I said some awful things to you. I doubted you, and I pushed you away when you were only trying to be there for me. And I'm sorry. I'm so, so sorry." She swallowed hard, her throat tightening as tears rolled down her cheeks. "I judged you wrongly, Bruno. I let my insecurities and fears get in the way, and I didn't give you a chance to explain. I should've trusted you. I should've listened. You were the only one who never treated me like trash, yet I doubted you. I'm sorry... I'm so sorry." She covered her mouth, trying to keep going, but her voice was drowned in emotion. Bruno said nothing. She knew he could hear her. She had to say everything anyway; she couldn't stop now. "I was so scared, Bruno. I've been hurt before, and I thought you were like them. I thought you were just another guy who would hurt me. But I was wrong. And now I've ruined everything. I love you, Bruno... I do... I know you can hear me. I love you so, so much... I love you." She sobbed, waiting

Eric gulped hard. "I... I called Bruno before coming here, just to check, you know? To make sure it was okay for me to... to make a move." Beauty stared at him, dumbfounded. She felt a deep pang in her heart at that statement. "Bruno wouldn't dare..." Jessie thought sadly. "When?" Beauty finally found her voice. "Earlier this evening," Eric answered, his voice now a little shaky under her intense glare. Beauty swallowed hard, feeling tight with shame, sadness, and disbelief. She blinked back her tears. How could Bruno move on so easily? Was she really that forgettable to him? Regaining her composure, she asked sharply, "And what, you thought it was okay to try your luck on the same day I broke up with Bruno?" Eric was fumbling now, realizing how ridiculous it sounded. "I didn't know you two broke up today," he said defensively, holding his hands up as if surrendering. "I swear I didn't know. I've been sending you those gifts for months, Beauty. I didn't mean to caus

Eric heard the click as Bruno hung up on him. "Wow, he hung up on me. Did I make him mad?" Eric muttered as he stared at the phone screen. --- As the call ended, Bruno placed his phone down. He gulped hard, eyes closed. Leaning back in his chair, he rubbed a hand across his face. He hated the feeling of guilt after Eric's words. Eric was right; Bruno might be a genius at work, but he knew little about women. And the fact that he couldn't bear to see another man around her yet still pushed Eric to approach her was pathetic. A small voice in his head asked, "What are you going to do now?" Bruno opened his eyes slowly. "I wanted her to heal from what happened. I thought she would feel better knowing she had another admirer, that it would help her." Anger rushed through him. "How could I be so careless?" The thought of her moving on-someone else holding her, making her laugh, kissing her in certain places-tore him apart. He wouldn't survive that for sure. Moreover,

She found Bruno and Kathy in an awkward, close position that looked somehow intimate. Kathy's hands rested on Bruno's shoulder, her lips near his ear while his hand lightly clasped her wrist. Beauty was unsure if he was putting them on her or about to put them away from her. For Bruno to let Kathy get that close to him, something must be going on between them. Kathy may be a desperate type, but still, Bruno had kept his distance until now. Is he trying to move on with Kathy? Why Kathy? Kathy's eyes met Beauty's wet ones, and she smirked. "Well," Kathy drawled, "how may we help you?" Beauty swallowed, fighting to keep her composure. She turned to Bruno, ignoring Kathy completely. "Sir Bruno, may I speak with you privately? Could she excuse us?" The fact that she referred to him as Sir Bruno triggered him. But he had to swallow it anyway; he was the one who said they were over with the relationship between them. However, it seemed like she was moving ahead very fast. To

A few of them coughed to cover their chuckles, while others glanced at each other, sharing silent gossip with raised eyebrows but tightly pressed lips to keep from laughing out loud. Kathy stormed toward Bruno's office to report, her broken heel causing her to limp slightly. "It wasn't even a fair fight. She knew she was going to win with that stinking weight," she muttered to herself. "She will pay for the damages. I'll make sure she pays for every damn scratch on my skin!" Without a second thought, she flung open Bruno's office door, limping inside and slamming it behind her. Bruno looked up, startled. He stared at her, from her disheveled hair to her missing shoe, with her toe pressing on the ground and the sole barely hanging on. "Halloween costume?" "Haha, funny!" she snapped back, tears glistening in her eyes. "What... what happened to you? I am absolutely speechless," Bruno said, trying hard to keep from laughing. "That monster you call an employee! That fat wh
