บททั้งหมดของ Our Love Blew up Like Fireworks: บทที่ 1 - บทที่ 7

Right after submitting my resignation to HR, I was summoned to Lindsey Corwell's office.As soon as I walked in, a cup of coffee came flying at me. The impact felt like a sharp slap across my face. It stung.On the side, the man sitting on the leather couch stared wide-eyed, looking deeply aggrieved."Ms. Corwell, please don't blame Julian. This is my fault. The failed contract deal was partly my responsibility. If anyone should leave, it should be me, not Julian."Lindsey's fury was plain to see. She almost never revealed her emotions like this, yet it was for Gerald Whitaker again."Are you unhappy about my criticism yesterday? Is that why you went to HR to submit your resignation and pressure Gerald? You were his supervisor. When the contract fell through, the responsibility was yours. How could you push all the blame onto him? "Do you know how people in the company see him now? They all think you couldn't tolerate him, the so-called troublemaking intern, and were forced to r

It turned out she had known I was angry before, but she had never cared. Every time, it was just her scolding me, calling me petty, and saying my heart saw filth in everything.Just as I was about to tell her I was moving out, Lindsey's phone rang. Gerald was shouting on the other end, claiming someone had bullied him.Lindsey shot me a sharp glare and let out a cold, mocking laugh. "So you were waiting here for me, Julian. Clever little stunt."Before I could even process what she meant, she grabbed my wrist and pulled me into her car.Inside, the scent of a man's cologne filled the air. It was the same one Gerald wore. A plush dog dangled from the rearview mirror, matching Gerald's WhatsApp avatar.Ever since I started working at Lindsey's company, I had avoided riding in her car. She said it was to prevent gossip and keep our relationship under wraps. The space I could no longer enter had long since been taken by someone else.The familiar ache of bitterness in my chest had va

As soon as she said the word "marriage", I would drop everything without hesitation and head straight to the city hall.Where else could I possibly turn, if not to her?I had long since cut ties with my parents. Only Uncle Raymond reached out occasionally, but I knew Aunt Isabella would never be happy to see me, so there was no way I would go there.Would I be at the little apartment I had finally managed to put a down payment on?Lindsey's eyes brightened for a moment. She grabbed the cufflinks and drove to Westville.When she reached Westville, she came to a stop. She didn't know where my apartment was.A flicker of frustration crossed her eyes. She had never imagined I would actually move into that little apartment, so she had never paid attention to its location. When I asked for her opinion while buying it, she just glanced at it and shrugged. Now, she had no way of finding out where it was.As she drove, Lindsey suddenly realized that I had blocked her on WhatsApp.She di

After Joshua resigned and posted the video of Lindsey having an employee slap me that day, her company teetered on the edge of collapse. While she focused on salvaging her business, Gerald was preoccupied with trying to salvage his relationship. Lindsey avoided him entirely and used his inadequate work as an excuse to fire him on the spot. I was surprised by her ruthlessness.As expected, Gerald had a fallback plan. For reasons unclear—perhaps failed negotiations—he exposed Lindsey's bedroom photos, and the two of them became the talk of the industry. It wasn't until Lindsey called the police and had him detained briefly that things finally quieted down.Lindsey's eyes were red-rimmed, her face pale and drawn, and she had lost a noticeable amount of weight. A bitter, rueful smile touched her lips. "Julian, you could have just said so. I could have given you that bonus directly. Why take it to court?"She was still supremely arrogant, brushing off the situation like it meant nothin
