All Chapters of Scandalously Yours: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

“It’s really not like that!” Julian exclaimed. “I have no reason to get back with my ex-girlfriend when I have a wife. I might be a bad husband but I don’t believe I’m cheating, at least for now.”“For now!” I exclaimed. “That sounds like you plan to cheat in the future.” “Let’s just talk tomorrow. Like I said earlier, I am tired,” Julian tried to sleep on the bed. I turned to him again and gave him a cold stare.“I’m sure you weren’t tired when you were with Maggie. In fact, you must have been so energized,” I said without holding back. “You went out with her for hours, full of energy. Now you come back and all you want to do is sleep. Does that mean I drain your energy?” Julian took a deep breath. He looked really stressed right now.“I will just sleep in the guest room. Have fun,” Julian walked out of the room. He looked quite angry but I could care less. In this situation, I was the one who was hurt. He had chosen his ex-girlfriend over me, I should be the one throwing a tantrum

“Don’t be naive, Miss,” Isabella lectured. “Will you only learn your lesson after she poisons you?” “You are going too far!” I snapped at her. “I will do whatever it takes to bring you back to your senses. I can tell you know very little about life. It is unfortunate but people are not what you think they are,” Isabella said seriously. “People are more vicious than you think.”“I know…” I replied. “I also know the most dangerous ones are the silent ones and the ones who act like they’re on your side when the opposite is the case.”“You know a lot,” Isabella smiled. “Still, do you think she is not a threat?” I sighed. I stared at Isabella and as expected, she had more to say. That was one thing about her that I had to get used to. She talked a lot. “I do not wish to drag this matter. Whatever you say, I’ll end up doing my duty appropriately,” Isabella told me firmly.“And does that duty of yours involve sacking Olivia?” I had to ask. Isabella came nearer and touched my shoulder. “

“Boss!” I exclaimed. “Shouldn’t we get back to work?” All eyes turned towards me but I didn’t flinch.“You just ruined the mood…” Maggie muttered. I stared at her, frustration and anger taking the better part of me. As if being all lovey-dovey with my husband wasn’t enough, she dared to do it fearlessly.“Annie is right,” Julian affirmed. “I will leave both of you to go back to your workspace. I have a lot to do as well.” Maggie stood up eventually and right from her stance, I knew she bore malice in her heart. I didn’t mind, she could burn in hell if she’d like. Anyway, both of us went back to our workspace where George and Helen were waiting. As I entered, I remembered Julian’s words from earlier. He called me a newbie and even threatened to replace me. I had taken it as a joke there but I was truly hurt. I vowed at that moment that I would gain his validation.“Both of you are back,” Helen’s face lighted up.“Yes, we are,” Maggie replied. She found a seat for herself and I did as

“Then tell me!” Maggie challenged with a grimace on her face. “Tell me why we have to dress up nicely to a formal yet private event.”“Well…” my voice trailed off gradually. “Perhaps because it is formal.” George burst into laughter but it didn’t last. He held himself back right away. Maggie had a smirk on her face and I felt mocked. “It is the most basic of the answers…” Maggie told me carefully. “Like you said, everyone should know it. We dress nicely to these private events because we would be addressed how we are dressed. Isn’t it about appearance that would determine the manner of approach?”How could I have failed that, I wondered. It was indeed the most basic of answers. I thought there was a unique thing to it. Well knowing I had been defeated, I chose to fight blindly.“But it is still private…” I interjected. “If you ask me, we are dressed nicely right now. I am sure the ‘dressing well’ you meant involved flaunting our bodies with provocative makeup.”“Isn’t that what mode

"You should take the private jet. I've got it readily prepared," George told me right away. I took a deep breath and thought about what he had said for a moment. "Get my wife. Bring her to the rooftop. My private jet is there, right?" I asked. "It is," George replied calmly. "But the person I'm bringing... Is she your wife or Annie, your employee?" "Bring my wife!" I maintained. "I plan to introduce her to some of the major shareholders at the meeting. It will be nice if she meets them." I began to walk out. I wasn't prepared for what George said next. "Aren't you going too far?" George asked. I was caught off guard and I turned towards him, trying to believe I didn't just hear that. "Did you just..." I paused. "Did you question my order?" George took two steps forward. "I was acting like I was unaware so you could keep your pride. However, I cannot bear to watch this any longer..." George replied. "Know what!" I exclaimed. "What in the world are you saying?""Your contract m
