Lahat ng Kabanata ng He Made It Official; I Made My Exit: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 8

During a company team-building event, my fiance, Frederick Scott, took Beatrice Sutton to the hospital after she sprained her ankle. He ignored me even though I had fainted from a seafood allergy. I nearly lost my life in the private room.After I was discharged, I received a text message from Frederick.He texted, "Beatrice left you a gift on your desk to thank you for what happened."I looked around and finally spotted a crumpled meal coupon stuffed in the corner of my desk. If Frederick hadn't deliberately told me, I would've thought it was just someone's trash."So this is the gift Beatrice gave Ellie? From what I remember, this meal coupon is handed out everywhere on the street.""I wouldn't even want this kind of junk if someone gave it to me, and yet someone actually used it as a gift."The colleagues around me whispered among themselves, and their words were laced with sarcasm."Stop talking. Mr. Scott is here."They scattered in an instant, and Frederick walked over to

The next day, at the company's promotion banquet, Beatrice walked onto the stage in a custom gown Frederick had given her.At the same time, the giant screen behind lit up with wedding photos of her and Frederick.The employees below instantly erupted, applauding and offering their congratulations.Frederick held Beatrice's hand and slowly stepped forward. "I now announce that Beatrice Sutton is officially the department manager."Frederick intertwined his fingers with hers, raising them above their heads. The dazzling rings gleamed even brighter under the flashing lights."There is another piece of good news. Beatrice and I are getting married," he added.The crowd below began cheering loudly."No wonder Mr. Scott waited until now to announce the promotion. Turns out he wanted to give us double the good news.""Mr. Scott and Beatrice are such a perfect match, unlike certain people who only know how to cling to him."It didn't take much thought to know that the "certain people

I got off the plane and saw Eliot Brown waiting for me at the airport the moment I stepped out.He walked forward and took the suitcase from my hand. When our fingers touched, he froze for a second."Why are your hands so cold?" he asked.I quickly slipped my hands into my pockets and shook my head. "It's nothing."He unwrapped his scarf and wrapped it around my neck. "You've always been sensitive to the cold since you were a child," he said softly."Let's get in my car. I have hot coffee in there," he added.Long-lost warmth filled my heart, and I felt it spread through my body. My eyes unexpectedly grew a little misty. Ever since Frederick and I successfully started the company, no one had treated me with such tenderness.Once we got into the car, Eliot looked hesitant, yet after a brief pause, he finally spoke in a quiet voice."Ellie, I know you've been treated unfairly in the company. I've always wanted to help you out, but you're Frederick's fiancee. I was afraid that I m

Ever since Eliot and I made our relationship official, he had shown his care for me openly.He brought me breakfast every day, picked me up and dropped me off at work, and even surprised me with little gifts from time to time.Just as I thought our life would stay this peaceful, I saw Frederick on the steps outside the company, where he had been waiting for quite some time.I frowned, pretended not to notice him, and pulled Eliot with me to leave.To my surprise, Frederick reached me before I could walk away.I had no idea how long he had been looking for me. Judging by his disheveled clothes, haggard face, and untrimmed beard, it was clear that he hadn't been doing well during that time."Ellie, who is he?" Eliot asked."He's my ex-boyfriend," I replied.Frederick's expression darkened when he heard that. "Ellie, we haven't broken up. I'm still your fiance."He reached out to grab me, but I dodged him in one swift move. His hand awkwardly hovered in midair before dropping bac
