Lahat ng Kabanata ng He Never Finishes His Sentences, I Finish Him: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 9

The moment I pushed open the conference room door, more than a dozen pairs of eyes snapped toward me."Well, Ms. Hartwell. You finally decided to show up."Theodore Wesley, who was seated at the head of the table, glanced at his watch. He stood and waved a hand at the others. "Don't blame Meg. She had her reasons for being late."He paused, glancing over my exhausted expression, then let out a faint, knowing sigh. "Last night, we were at it until very late at my place."The atmosphere shifted instantly.A few of the women exchanged knowing looks, while the men wore lewd smiles.There he went again, leaving things half-said just to stir up misunderstandings.I took a steady breath and said calmly, "Mr. Wesley, I'd appreciate it if you made yourself clear. You were the one who insisted I come over last night to revise the branding proposal. From the moment I arrived until I left, my boyfriend and my best friend were both there with me."Theodore froze for a moment. After all, I h

That night, my phone kept buzzing nonstop.I opened the company chat group. The pinned message was last month's performance summary.I glanced over it. My name was dead last, at the very bottom of the rankings.All the project results that should have been credited to me had been reassigned to Theodore. He was now in first place, far ahead of everyone else.The group chat had long since blown up, overflowing with flattery and bootlicking comments."Mr. Wesley is amazing! No wonder he's the star of our department!""If you want a future, stick with Mr. Wesley. Not like some hacks who only know how to cheat their way up.""Exactly. She's ranked at the bottom and still dares to hold on to an assistant manager role. I would've resigned a long time ago if I were her."All of it, overt or not, was meant for me. It turned my stomach inside out.Ever since I was transferred to Theodore's department, he had been routinely taking at least 30% of my performance and putting it under his o

Theodore froze. He turned to Joyce and shot her a sharp glare. "What did you say? How could Ms. Taylor arrive early?""I don't know!" Joyce cried. "Reception just called. Ms. Taylor is already downstairs. She told you to go down and meet her immediately!"Theodore shot me a vicious look and roughly patted my face. "Lucky you!"He clearly couldn't afford to be late for Ms. Taylor. Before he left, he pointed at Joyce and barked, "Keep an eye on her! She's not leaving this room, and she's absolutely not to see Ms. Taylor. If anything happens, you'll answer for it!"With that, he stormed out in a hurry.That left only Joyce and me in the room.I leaned against the wall, feeling extremely lightheaded.Joyce quickly wiped her face and hurried over to me, pulling a USB drive from her pocket and handing it over. Her hands were trembling, but her voice was steady. "Megan, I've always believed in you."I took the USB drive, and a warm feeling washed over me. "Thank you.""I should be th

In no time at all, Theodore's godfather arrived at the company with a large entourage.I looked up and recognized him immediately. It was Casper Thompson, a newly partnered client of our company's headquarters and a well-known local entrepreneur with extensive business holdings.His expression was grim. The moment he stepped inside, he headed straight for Ms. Taylor."Ms. Taylor, I heard someone in this company has been falsely accusing my godson and even trying to fire him. I want to know exactly what he did to deserve this kind of treatment."Ms. Taylor got to her feet. She was calm, but the authority in her tone was impossible to ignore. "Mr. Thompson, I suggest we all remain calm. This is not a case of defamation. We possess verifiable evidence, and we are proceeding strictly according to company protocol.""Evidence? What evidence?"Casper let out a cold snort. He opened his briefcase and slammed several documents onto the table."This is the evidence. Every one of these

After obtaining Claire's recorded testimony, I immediately contacted a private investigator and instructed him to find concrete evidence that Theodore had staged the car accident. A few days later, the investigator delivered surveillance footage from a dashcam at the scene of the incident.The video clearly recorded the entire process, showing Theodore pushing Beatrice into the road before carefully staging the scene afterward.The next day, Theodore walked into the board meeting with his crew and fired the first shot.He presented his so-called evidence and launched a public accusation, claiming that Ms. Taylor and I had colluded to embezzle company funds. He then went on a tirade, insisting that I had been involved in Beatrice's accident out of pure jealousy.As murmurs and whispers spread through the room, I rose to my feet and displayed the evidence I had for everyone to see.When the footage of Theodore pushing Beatrice into the road appeared on the screen, the entire room fe
