Chapter 161. Leaving Dreams and Friendships

Gwen POV“So where to?” Jo asked when it was just the two of us.The hallway was now empty. Monique had packed herself and left, too, leaving just Jo and me standing there.Nick had already gone back to his office, leaving Jo and me.I waved the folder in front of her face with the resignation letter that bore Mrs. Lucerne’s mark.“I need to submit this to HR for processing.” I pivoted on my heels and went on the route that would lead me to HR.At first, none of the staff noticed us; everyone was focused on their own work. I waited at the receptionist's counter. Having Jo beside me kept the situation from feeling awkward. I was not waiting alone. I have her with me.When Jo noticed that we had waited long enough and still weren’t attended to, she took matters into her own hands.“Hello, people, does anyone have time for us?” Jo knocked on the counter to attract the receptionist’s attention. When she saw us, her expression changed to a bored one.Still, it did not faze Jo, who snatche

Chapter 162. Unexpected Encounter

Gwen POVUnlike in the past, I did not go straight to the terminal after leaving the building that houses the Daily News Agency. Instead, I walked and let my feet carry me anywhere.Today would have been my last day, but since I already resigned, Baron told me that I only needed to process my resignation and submit it to HR, and then I could leave.He said it was Damian’s order.There was a tiny pinch to my chest after hearing it. We already said our goodbyes, but the thought that he was not inclined to see me today, even for the last time, to deliver the order himself rankled.While I wanted to thank him for the thoughtful gesture, it also made me sad.The early dismissal gave me extra time to mull over things. It will also allow me time to check the city for a new place to stay.Even when Damian was not forcing me out, I planned to vacate the apartment unit today. I was so sure there was no reason to extend my stay. I already resigned. I am no longer part of the Daily News Agency’s

Chapter 163. A New Job Offer

Gwen POVMy eyes widened in excitement.The prospect of possibly being hired ended my search for a new job and sent a thrill through me.Just when I was about to lose all hope.“Are you serious?” I exclaimed, not one to refuse an unexpected gift.Without realizing it, a hopeful expression crossed over my face.Liam looked amused by my reaction. He chuckled.One thing I liked about him. He was not touchy. He was standing a few paces away from me as if he did not want to cross my personal boundary.I appreciate the respect, and that made me feel valued as a person.“So, you are in need of a job?” Amusement sparkled in his eyes when I nodded enthusiastically at him.“Oh! You are a savior!” I exclaimed, pressing my palms together with a bright light shining in my eyes.“You have no idea how much I needed a new job,” I added before looking up, thanking the skies above.Heaven must have heard my anguish, and this is their answer.My lips twitched. I could not keep them from smiling widely a

Chapter 164. New Job, New Life

Gwen POV“Wow!” I muttered to myself when we got inside.The building screamed class. The floors gleamed, and the walls were painted white and gray.While I followed Mr. Boyd, I could feel several eyes on me. I just tried to act casual since they do not feel offensive. The whole place looked like everyone was busy with their jobs.We reached the top floor, and Mr. Boyd entered a glass room that looked like an aquarium. Mr. Boyd explained it was the conference room.“We call this our war room.” He told me when my head scanned the whole room.My forehead creased into a frown.I did not understand at first.“This is where we make plans for the business.” He explained.We sat down, and he began asking me questions about my last job and what I planned to do in the future. He did not ask about my life in Cadillac City, which actually made me heave a huge sigh of relief.I really do not want to tell anyone the reason why I left Cadillac City because that would mean I was giving away informa

Chapter 165. Getting Used To

Chapter 165. Damian POV“Where have you been?” Mason demanded as soon as I opened the penthouse door.He put his hand on his hip and stared into my eyes.The expression on his face was one of accusation.Even if I did not come out clean, from the looks on his face, it could be gleaned that he already knew where I had been, even without my telling him.So, instead of answering his question, I marched to my room. It was the most spacious room in the penthouse.It used to be where my grandpa stayed, wherever he was in town, but since he delegated the task of handling the Daily News Agency to me, I am now occupying this room.We just transferred from the Hotel across the street that evening when Damon almost r*ped Gwen. I can’t leave anything to chance. Even when we already subdued Damon, and he was being held in one of the holding cells in the Vanguard’s headquarters, I did not take anything to chance.There is still a possibility that he or our parents can hurt Gwen. I was not worried

Chapter 166. Distraction

Damian POV“What you need is a distraction,” Mason said while we were resting on the couch.After our struggle earlier, the three of us slumped on the couch in the living room to rest and get our bearings back.No one said a word for a long time, until Mason broke the silence with the suggestion.I looked at him, confusion filling my eyes.Sometimes, Mason comes up with ridiculous ideas, and today was one of them.He used to tell me that Gwen was a distraction. In the same breath, he kept telling me to leave Gwen well enough alone.Now, he was telling me I needed some distraction.“What do you mean?” My brows furrowed at the idea.I am not sure if he was already bored running the business with me and wanted some action. Maybe it was a hint that we all needed to go back.For weeks, the boss had been calling us back to work, but I couldn’t fully get myself on board.It may be because I still worry about Gwen.She had been my distraction.She was the reason I kept postponing reporting b

Chapter 167. Invisible Rift

Damian POVWhen Gwen realized that I was staring right at her, she immediately turned her head away and pretended like she did not see me. Her expression became blank.Rebecca, our boss, followed my line of vision.A grin instantly spread across her face when she turned her attention back to me. As soon as I noticed, her expression shifted to a sharp, challenging look, clearly intended to unsettle me.“So, she’s the reason you keep postponing your report day.” She commented.The way she said the words, calm and dangerous, made me gulp. I worry about Gwen. What if Rebecca hurt her?Rebecca had been known to be meticulous and calculating. She was good at her job. She was a kind boss, but hard to cross.“Don’t blame her.” And quickly regretted it because it was my reaction that gave myself away.I realized I had dug my grave deeper with just a sentence.In response, Rebecca shook her head.“Why would I? You’re the one causing problems and making my job harder.” She leaned her head clos

Chapter 168. Dilemma

Gwen POVI turned my back to Damian, but not after seeing the expression on his face. It was as if he felt lost.But that would be impossible. How can he be lost when he has a gorgeous woman by his side?At the thought of the woman at the reception of the apartment building, my expression soured.I can’t help but compare myself.She’s blond. Gorgeous. And she seemed to be so sure of her place in the universe.Unlike me, who had nothing. Until now, I still have to prove my worth in this world. Until now, I have been struggling, still fighting for my niche.I went to the nearest convenience store to buy something to eat. I chose a TV dinner that I could reheat in the microwave.I went to the cashier to pay for my purchase. My intent is to eat it at home, but then at the last minute, I thought better of it.The possibility of running into Damian and his girlfriend again does not sit well with me.I looked at my watch and decided that I would just eat my dinner at the convenience store.

Chapter 169. Reflections

Damian POV“Are you ready?” I was zipping my luggage when I heard Mason talking from behind me.I looked up from what I was doing and watched Mason fill the doorway of my room.Conspicuously, Baron was not here. He was probably busy, too.Mason sat down on the bed while I lifted my luggage to place it on the floor.“Rebecca wanted us to report today for our next mission.”I nodded. I knew it. Rebecca wouldn’t be here if she did not need us.Her presence meant that we had to live ASAP.“Have you seen Gwen?”Mason gave me a sharp look.“I think you need to let her go. Gwen’s not yours to begin with. I think taking a break from her will be good for you. You had become too attached to her. It was no longer healthy. You are already hurting yourself and her.”I nodded.Mason was right.I was not normally like this.I was not clingy to anyone.I never get attached.But Gwen’s another matter.In a short period, I came to care for her. I came to want the best for her.Sadly, my intention has

Chapter 170. A Brother's Promise

Liam Boyd POV“I met her,” I told my half-sister Monique Haley over the phone. I called her right after Gwen left my office, and we signed her contract.It was that easy—no plan needed. She fell into my hands effortlessly. Maybe it was fate.Gwen Delafonte is now officially working for me. A thrill of pleasure coursed through my spine at the prospect of her seeing her on her reporting day, the day after tomorrow.I can’t wait to see her again.It was no wonder Damian Olson was so smitten with her. He had been called several times to report to the office, but he kept postponing. Now, I understand what kept him hanging in this country.An image of Gwen Delafonte came into my head when Monique responded.“Who?” Monique does not seem to have any inkling about who I was referring to.I grinned in spite of myself.For a second, I thought of teasing her, but thought better of it. Monique is impatient and a little snarky when she’s annoyed. I can’t let her stew.I realized that this job is
