Semua Bab The Times We Had: Bab 1 - Bab 10

There was silence on the other end of the call for a few seconds, followed by a rustling of movement.Soon, Chuck answered, "Hmmm? What's up, darling? I was just putting in some overtime, but I guess I'm coming home late tonight... It's that new project—there are some details that need to be confirmed."He was audibly panting, and his response was punctuated by some strange pauses.Lisa's heart sank instantly. Her hands were still trembling, but her mind was miraculously calm. "Wasn't everything approved last night? Are there still further issues? Is it serious? I can come to the office to look through it—""No!" Chuck responded before he knew it, but he quickly realized he got agitated and said, "It's just some minor… formalities. Moreover, it's a hot day out, and traveling will be taxing. Also, everyone else will belittle me if I have to ask my wife to help with some… documents."Lisa stayed silent for a long while, and Chuck caved first, quickly saying that he had to work, and

The next morning, Lisa hurried to the office after cleaning up. There was an invitation for a tender that day, which was the final project she would be handling here.If she won the bid, it was the perfect finish of her career here, before moving on to the English branch where she would be promoted directly to the CEO position.When she arrived at the meeting room, the representatives of several other companies joining the bid also arrived, with Chuck among them.When he saw Lisa, he winked at Lisa while no one was watching.Lisa did not respond but was staring pointedly at his secretary who stood right behind him.Naturally, it was Susan.Lina certainly found the situation ironic.Chuck would tell her everything that happened at work, which included today's tender, but not that he had just changed his secretary. She certainly wouldn't be aware how long they had been together, out of her sight…Still, there was thirty minutes before the actual tender, and Lisa told her assist

In the dimly lit room of a jacuzzi hotel, Susan was gyrating her hips as she straddled Chuck gleefully. "It's just us tonight again…" she purred with devilish charm.Somehow, Chuck couldn't get interested—the sight of Susan's face kept reminding him of Lisa's pale face somehow.As Susan kept pressing herself on him, he pushed her away irritably."Ah!" she yelped as she fell backward into the jacuzzi, the huge splash finally catching Chuck's attention, and he turned.Her cleavage was clear for all to see, while her wet hair was clinging to her neck and chest.Chuck couldn't tear his eyes away from her skin, which was reddened from the hot water.Seeing him gulp as his eyes lit up, Susan in his eyes, she fought back the petty resentment in her heart and pressed against him enthusiastically.Soon, his grunts and her moans echoed around the room.Even as Susan wrapped her arms around Chuck's neck, her eyes glinted maliciously where he couldn't see.Sooner or later, she would mak

The moment Chuck opened the door, he saw a brief flash of surprise on Susan's face, but she soon smiled charmingly as she usually did."Oh, Chuck, so you're here," she said, taking off her stilettos and striding inside. "I sent you so many messages—why didn't you answer them?"When she saw the mess in the living room, she seemed to pause for a moment before quickly turning to Chuck. "Oh, what happened here? Did Lisa get really upset?"She dropped to a crouch to pick up the scraps of paper from the floor, not forgetting to press her hand over her breasts, as if really intending to hide her cleavage.Still, her eyes flashed in delight when she saw what the paper was.She was sure that Lisa and Chuck had a fight now, and Lisa had even torn up the marriage certificate.After all, whenever Susan asked Chuck about marriage, he would wiggle his way out of it by mentioning Lisa.Thank goodness she was smart—she had approached Lisa directly and exposed their affair.Now that Lisa had du

After landing in England, Chuck found Lisa presiding over a press conference.She looked sharp in a suit, and everything from her hair to her nails were groomed perfectly.If anything, she didn't look upset at all after walking out of a relationship that had lasted three years.Chuck was left, hence staring blankly at Lisa, who was positively radiant in front of the cameras, the bitterness in him beyond words.He knew from the beginning that she was a career woman above all else, and it was that determination and stalwart attitude that attracted him to Lisa. But now, he couldn't help feeling indignant, seeing how she was completely unaffected while he appeared haggard after going two nights without sleep.How could she act as if nothing had happened? Did she really ever love him in the three years they were together?No, he needed an answer!-There was a huge crowd gathered front and beneath the big screen, watching as Lisa promoted Acker Corp's venture in the European marke
