บททั้งหมดของ ACCIDENTALLY MARRIED TO MY BROTHER-IN-LAW: บทที่ 171 - บทที่ 180

Damian POV“Damian, hurry up. We are going to be late for our flight.” Baron reminded me.I was standing outside Gwen’s door, debating within myself whether I should knock or just leave. I wanted to say goodbye, but Mason had already warned me against it.He told me that it would be better not to say goodbye.But I was stubborn. I did not listen to him. I got out of the elevator when we reached her floor, and without looking back, I stepped out.My friends followed, walking right behind me instead of going ahead.I clutched the straps of my backpack tighter and stared into Gwen’s door.In the end, I took a deep breath and turned around to leave.“Are you sure you are leaving without saying goodbye?”I thought about our talk in the office.“She knows we are going to leave,” I told Baron as we walked away.I did not turn around. I do not want to have any reason to linger.Maybe this is all for the best. Leave without a proper goodbye.We rode the elevator and reached the lobby. The rece

Gwen POV“Ms. Delafonte, wait!” I heard a man’s voice calling out my name.I was still inconsolable. The pain of parting hits hard. My shoulders shook at the intensity of my pain. I did not realize that parting with Damian and his friends was this difficult.It was like I was back to square one, where I had to let go of people that mattered to me.Fate kept drilling the lesson to me, but I kept dodging it.I kept forgetting that it is a fact of life. People come and go.People come into our lives for a short time, to teach a lesson or become the lesson. Then, they leave. There are also those who chose to stay for a while, but they will also leave eventually because we have to accept the fact that our road differs.Our paths may have crossed. Our lives may have merged with others, but that was temporary.Nothing is permanent in this world.The only thing permanent in life is change.The seasons may be unpredictable and hard to understand, but later, when we look back, we will see that

Gwen POVLisa brought me to my desk.“This is your place.” She told me, grinning, while showing me to a cubicle that looked like it had been run over by a bus.It not only looked deserted, but there were chips on the edge of the makeshift table, and the chair that accompanied it looked like it would give out any time soon.I looked at it, and then at the grinning Lisa, thinking that she did this on purpose.But I kept thinking hard, “What for?” Was she one of those employees who were threatened when a new co-worker came on board? Jealousy in this type of setting seemed astounding. I reminded myself to be more alert in the future.I kept wracking my brains, thinking if I had seen her in the past, and we had a disagreement or a spat, but that would be impossible because I had only been here for almost two months. And I haven’t drifted far from the office.I looked at her.But she had this disdainful look on her face. She wanted me to react, but I couldn't. Not on my first day here. Bes

Gwen POVI walked to my department and felt their eyes on me. It was undermining my newfound confidence.I faltered on my way in, seeing their gazes fixed on me like a piercing stab.I almost turned around to leave, but the thought that I do not have enough money in my pocket to survive even a week of joblessness, I began to grit my teeth and walked inside.I walked slowly, feeling the weight of my co-workers’ eyes on me.Even Lisa, who was already in her seat, snorted when she saw me coming in.“I thought you already gave up.” She told me, but I ignored her.There was no sense in forcing myself to respond when I knew that nothing I would say mattered to them.These people were here not only to undermine me. It was clear that day that they wanted to break me to submission if I wanted to continue working here.I bowed my head to let her think that I was submitting to her, but in my head, I reminded myself to be wary of everyone around me. No one here can be trusted, except Lorry. She

Gwen POVFriday soon came.“Hurry up! Hurry up!” Lisa was yelling at me. She was standing at the door to the conference room where the meeting was going to be held.I just got in, and she was already harassing me with her demands.There were no signs of the investors yet, but she was already in a frenzy.If she could growl, then that was short of what she was doing to me. She was trying to intimidate me and make me dance to her tune.“It’s still early,” I commented when I stopped in front of her. My gaze was all on my tablet, checking my list and schedules.“Where are the caterers?” She cried.“They’re on their way up,” I told her calmly. She gave me a side eye.“You don’t even look tense. Why? Aren’t you worried that something might go wrong?”A frown formed and creased my forehead.I did not know what she was getting at. We already made preparations until almost midnight last night.I made sure that all the departments that were going to report had their files on the hard drive. I a
