ACCIDENTALLY MARRIED TO MY BROTHER-IN-LAW의 모든 챕터: 챕터 181 - 챕터 190

Gwen POVThe smug look on Lisa’s face made me madder than I could ever be.I forced myself to calm down, trying to maintain a neutral expression, even as I sensed mounting doubt from those around me.I looked at the medicine kit slung over my shoulder and realized I had fallen prey to Lisa’s machinations.She played me well. She used my preparedness as evidence of my guilt.I took a deep breath and held my tongue. Inside, I was furious. I was seething in anger at Lisa’s genius.I bit the side of my cheek to restrain myself and just followed Lisa out.She was walking ahead of me.While I walked, I could feel the stares of my coworkers. And then, Lorry blocked my path. “I believe you are innocent.” She said in a loud voice.The vouch of confidence was unexpected. I never realized that the shy Lorry, who would rather eat at the emergency stairs, would risk losing her anonymity just to declare her belief in me.Emotion caught in my throat, and tears pricked my eyes as I struggled to stay

Lisa POVI could not believe what I was hearing.I stared at our CEO, his stern, unflinching gaze fixed on me.He didn't blink as he delivered the verdict that would ruin my career and life.I shook my head. Disbelief made my chest ache in restrained anger, and my head numbed up to my scalp.I thought I had it all figured out. Gwen is the culprit. She was the one who coordinated with the catering company, so what happened to the food is her fault, not mine.“But…” I stepped back, confused.“There has to be a mistake here.” I was quick to correct him.How can Mr. Boyd rule against me indiscriminately without a proper investigation? This had to be the quickest decision that has ever been made. I don’t think there was ever fair play here.He ruled against me thoughtlessly in favor of Gwen, and I cannot accept it.“That is so unfair!” I yelled at his face, unable to accept the ruthlessness of his decision. It was like he was deciding on a food and not a person’s future and life. This is u

Gwen POVMr. Boyd walked ahead of me, and I gingerly followed. All through our walk, people are staring, but I try to tamp it down by checking the floor most of the time.I nearly bumped into him when he stopped by the elevator. I pressed my hands on his back and grimaced, certain he would scold me.Even if it was accidental.Most bosses like to keep a personal distance.“I am sorry,” I muttered, eyes growing wide in panic.I was so sure he would be angry, but I was glad he did not say anything and brushed off the whole thing as if it had not happened.The elevator door opened, and he stepped in. I quickly followed and stayed at the corner.“Why are you so afraid of me?” He asked when the elevator began its descent.“You are my boss. I am only keeping my distance just in case.”He shook his head and pushed his hands into the pockets of his pants.“I think you had a bad experience with your previous bosses. Am I correct?” He asked in my silence.I kept my mouth shut. I felt like answe

Gwen POVMason’s words didn’t surprise me; I’d expected them to know I was reluctant to attend Dra. Chloe’s sessions.Some may call it pride, but for me, it was more than that. It was part of my plan to distance myself from the Olson twins.Accepting their charity meant that I was still dependent on them. That’s what I had been working so hard to achieve. That’s precisely why I left my previous job. I do not want to be tied up with them anymore.But it seemed like I couldn’t keep it a secret from them.I made a mental note to call Dr. Chloe’s clinic for my treatment.With the initial problem resolved, I turned around and began retracing my steps to the entrance of the building. I was surprised to see that Mr. Boyd was still there.I bowed a little in greeting and resumed my walk, but he walked alongside me, much to my surprise, and apparently to the surprise of our co-workers, because their eyes never left us. Even without looking, I could feel the weight of their gazes boring into my

Damian POV“Make sure to report to me everything that happens to Gwen,” I instructed the head of my team, and after obtaining his concurrence, I ended the call and put my phone back in my pocket.“Let’s go.” Mason turned to walk ahead of me.I followed reluctantly, my steps slow and heavy as we blended with airport traffic.Just like any other passengers, Mason and I were busy tracing our path toward the exit, but of course, we couldn’t be that complacent.We are still on a mission.We still need to be careful with our movements. And most importantly, we need to be vigilant all the time.“So how was Dr. Chloe?” I asked.As expected, Mason’s footsteps slowed, allowing me to keep up with his pace.“She’s fine.”“How about you?”“I am fine, too. Thank you.”His brief reply told me he was avoiding the topic. Mason didn’t want to discuss Dr. Chloe or his feelings for her.He was always like this. He waited until he processed his feelings before he was able to talk about it.He told me that
