Lahat ng Kabanata ng A Charger, A Secretary, And Our Final Straw: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 8

Jazmine Garcia slammed the door behind her as she left and ignored all of my calls and text messages. She was certain that I would be the first to give in and compromise.That was why she kept acting as arrogant and high-and-mighty as ever, planning only to accept my apology if she was in a good mood.However, all I wanted was for her to sign the asset division settlement.Since she refused to talk to me, I sent the agreement back home instead to let both our parents talk it out.I thought that we wouldn't be crossing paths again after this. However, that evening, HR came to me and said, "Colin, there's a dinner tonight, and Ms. Garcia said that everyone in the company is to attend."She specifically mentioned your name and said that you were not allowed to excuse yourself. Otherwise, all of your sales bonuses will be cancelled for the year."I didn't want to put my wallet on the line, so I just packed some of my things up before driving over to the dinner venue. Yet, before I'd

Honestly speaking, I never noticed Alvin's existence in the first place.His performance was mediocre, his abilities were just average, he had no outstanding qualities, and he even frequently caused trouble for the company.In fact, Jazmine used to complain to me that the new intern was a good-for-nothing troublemaker and should just be fired.I thought that everyone had their struggles, so I told her to just wait until after his internship was over, thinking that perhaps Alvin just hadn't gotten used to the new environment yet.Ultimately, Alvin passed the internship and was formally made a full-time employee. I even rewarded him with a small bonus to keep him encouraged.But his ambition was already evident then. He always looked at Jazmine with an intense and even suggestive gaze. Still, I never doubted him, assuming that he just had a good and playful relationship with Jazmine.However, it wasn't until one night during a company social event when Alvin helped a very drunk Jaz

Jazmine was completely stunned. The staff member on the other end of the line repeated himself, and she finally responded. "I never made the appointment. Who did?""It might have been your husband…"Jazmine hung up on him before he could finish. Then, she glared coldly in the direction I'd left and laughed coldly."You're really something, Colin Whitaker, stooping to doing something like this this time. I can't believe you even got someone to fake the call."The building security guard suddenly knocked on the door and entered the office, handing a formal envelope to Jazmine."Your package, Ms. Garcia."Jazmine opened it and widened her eyes in shock at the document title on the front page. She muttered, "A divorce lawsuit? What? Colin's suing me for divorce? How's that possible? It's fake, right? He's just trying to make me fold, isn't he? This is fake, isn't it? He forged it, right?"Alvin was beaming ear to ear when he realized that I was going through with the divorce for r

The procedures and paperwork for relocating abroad went smoothly.Mom and Dad had already purchased a manor in the new country ahead of time, and we moved in uneventfully. I officially began preparing to take over their company, starting at the bottom to gain experience. My life was happy and fulfilling so far.At times, Mom and Dad would casually set me up on blind dates with potential marriage partners. However, the wounds in my heart hadn't healed, and I found it difficult to move on to a new relationship at once.I didn't want to deceive or mislead anyone, so I politely rejected all of them.A year later, after independently completing my first project at the company, I was given the opportunity to form my own project team.The first thing I did was to contact my former colleagues, extending an olive branch toward them. Everyone had reservations at first because the company was located overseas, but there were also a handful of people who willingly hopped on without hesitation
