Chapter 1 The Pregnant Drama Queen

"Ugh! What kind of trash mall is this? No signal at all!" a woman yelled. She was so loud that her voice seemed to rattle the storefront. Then, she chucked her phone across the floor. It almost hit a customer who clearly didn't sign up for this. People started whispering right away. "Is she... okay?" "Poor cashier. Retail workers really go through hell just for their paychecks." Their sympathy only made her scowl harder. Then, she abruptly snatched the ice cream from my hand and smashed it across her own face. Cold white cream dripped down her cheeks as she launched into a full meltdown. "I paid five bucks for ice cream, but the cashier said I didn't spend enough and threw it at me! I told her I couldn't finish it! Is this how society treats innocent pregnant women?" I just stood there, stunned. She flipped the entire story in two seconds flat. And of course, it was 7 p.m. It was the busiest time of the day. A crowd formed around us instantly. "Oh wow, this is custo

Chapter 2 The Heel That Shouldn't Exist

I used to tease him about it. "My birthday's in three months, and you're already buying gifts?" He didn't look up, just kept scrolling with that gentle, spoiled tone he saved for me. "What? I can't buy you something just because? I get my girlfriend gifts whenever I want."… Now, those very heels were right in front of me. Brittany caught me looking and lifted her foot as if she were showing off a treasure. "What are you staring at?" She smirked, her voice oozing with superiority. "You think you can even look at these? Do you know what a luxury brand is? You could scoop ice cream your whole life and never afford it." I never wanted the shoes anyway, and told Nathan not to bother. Still, I recognized the design. Influencers had been wearing them nonstop. I swallowed my anger and chose to probe her. "You're pregnant. Probably not the best choice of shoes. Thin sole, hard heel, and no grip." She shot back fast, "Oh wow, look at Miss Expert over here. Jealous much? Do yo

Chapter 3 The Moment Everything Snapped

My blood ran cold. Nathan really did have an uncle. Six months ago, he begged me to find a job for his uncle. Since it didn't cost me anything, I found him a position at my father's mall. And now, he was here as the mall manager, and he was looking at me as if I owed him something. Philip grabbed my phone and smashed it against the counter. Crack. The screen was split in half. He jabbed a finger in my face. "So, you're the little troublemaker picking on my niece-in-law? And you dare call the cops?" The store manager tried to step in, but Philip swung an arm and slapped him hard. "Pathetic. You can't even recognize the boss' wife? What do they pay you for?" I caught the store manager before he fell. Philip's eyes flicked over me slowly and with a gross smirk. "Oh... now it makes sense. You're protecting your old boyfriend, huh? No wonder he won't fire you. You must've slept your way into his good graces." Brittany immediately joined in. "I knew it! No wonder she's

Chapter 4 Playing the Blame Game

The kettle fell to the ground, splashing boiling water onto the hem of Nathan's pants. Yet, he seemed unaffected by the heat and just stared blankly at me. "Emmy? What are you doing here? "Hold on. You're the cashier Mr. Jones told me about?! The one who applied three days ago?!"I didn't bother to waste my breath on him. Instead, I shoved him aside and walked toward the door. Just as I reached the door, I called out to George Quinn, the mall manager, "Mr. Quinn."Since he hadn't gone far, he immediately turned upon hearing the commotion.As expected of the exceptionally shrewd subordinate who had been around my father for years, he figured out the situation in seconds. "What are you all standing there for? Grab these three troublemakers and get them under control now!" He didn't hesitate even a second to bark down a chain of orders.Brittany, who had no idea what was going on, clapped her hands and giggled. "That's right! Get them! See, losers! This is what happens when you me

Chapter 5 Letter of Intent for Investment

I nearly burst into laughter when I heard his words. That was because I really couldn't think of anything in this world that could make me feel regret.Then, he shoved his phone screen right in front of my face to show me a document. "See that? Don't tell me you don't know what that is. Well, I can explain the parts where you don't understand. Feel free to ask."I rubbed my temples when I saw the letter of intent. Clearly, the company had no idea I had ended the collaboration proposal.George calmly handed me his phone, and I swiftly sent a message to my assistant.Brittany, who was still lying on the ground just now, had somehow gotten her arm around Nathan's again. There was an ingratiating beam on her face as she said, "Tell me, Nate. What good news do you have?"Nathan immediately wrapped an arm around her waist and kissed her hard on the cheek. It was as if their earlier bickering and fighting were just them flirting with each other."A big shot wants to invest and open th

Chapter 6 Shattered Dream

"See that? That's the power of money! Luxoriant Group's private helicopter is here to pick me up!" he shouted triumphantly at me.Brittany bounced excitedly as she said, "Nate, we're rich now. Quick. Tell them to land the helicopter. I want to take photos and post them on my social media."A cold smirk played on my lips when George's phone suddenly vibrated. Glancing down at the screen, I saw that it was a reply from my assistant. 'All set.'Nathan shouted at me at the top of his lungs. "Emily, it's not too late to beg for my forgiveness now! Otherwise, you can only dream of shooting for the stars once I get on the helicopter!"As he spoke, he was ready to run to the rooftop. To his surprise, the security guards actually stopped him.Nathan instantly flew into a rage. "Are you all blind? Didn't you see that Luxoriant Group's private helicopter is here to pick me up? Can you afford to compensate me for the business loss worth tens of millions of dollars due to your interference?"

Chapter 7 Fire and Ice

Nathan's face went stone-like, and his lips trembled in shock.David even kindly handed him my personalized gold-stamped business card.Suddenly, Nathan burst into hysterical laughter. Then, he pointed at my business card and said, "Emily, you even printed fake business cards just to pose as the chairwoman of Luxoriant Group? Now, I'm starting to suspect that you hired the film crew!"I shrugged. As expected, we couldn't convince the blind to see.Nathan snatched the business card and tore it to shreds. "You're clearly just a regular employee! If it weren't for me, you would be a loser who couldn't even pass your internship! "Even if your dad comes from a well-off family, there's no way he could possibly be part of a large company like Luxoriant Group! Don't you know that you should at least make your lie believable?"Brittany, who was also equally witless, chimed in, "Exactly! Stop pretending! Do you even know the way to the chairwoman's office?"At this point, I was feeling s
