Chapter 1

A faint red lipstick mark was left on the straw after Melissa Somers took a sip from it.However, Hayden Potter, my boyfriend, didn't seem to care at all as he took a huge sip from the very same straw.Noticing my gaze, Melissa said with a smile, "I hope you won't mind, Selina. It's just that the two of us have been best friends for so many years that it's become a habit."Before I could respond, Hayden stroked her hair and said, "It's fine. Lina isn't that petty."The others immediately chimed in with their two cents."That's right! Mel has been one of the boys for years now, so you don't have to worry about a thing, Selina!""If there really was something going on between them, would you have been able to get together with Hays?"Just then, I heard Melissa's mocking voice ringing in my mind. [Hays only has room for me in his heart. Who the hell do you think you are? You fool. I bet you don't even know that Hays thinks that you're about as interesting as a block of wood!]My h

Hayden stiffened before pursing his lips and snapping in an annoyed tone, "Mel is right. Gifts are just a formality. If it really bothers you that much, I'll just compensate you with one later. But with so many people present right now, you'd better not make things difficult for me."He shrugged my hand off his shoulder, his eyes full of warning."I was just kidding." Melissa's eyes curved in a smile as she smoothly went on, "Don't take it so seriously, Selina. Let's continue with the games, alright?"After losing a round of dice, she urged Hayden to drink on her behalf, her body plastered against his back like it was the most natural thing in the world.When playing Truth or Dare, she was dared to kiss a person of the opposite gender. She didn't even hesitate before turning around and kissing Hayden right on the lips.Hayden flushed all the way to the tips of his ears and scolded her with a grin, "Hey, watch it!"With a pout, Melissa retorted, "What? What's wrong with two best f

It was pouring outside, so I hailed a cab to get home.Suddenly, I recalled that Hayden hadn't taken an umbrella when leaving the house earlier today.A tangled web of emotions swirled in me and fed my frustration, but I still couldn't shake the habit of worrying over him just yet."Forget it," I told myself. "I already endured this for the past three years, didn't I?"In the end, though, I still spoke up."Sir, could you turn the car around please? I need to pick up someone."Yet, as I stood there in the pounding rain, I failed to see any sign of Hayden. All I saw were his friends as they left the building, chatting with each other.Forcing a smile onto my face, I approached them and asked, "Where's Hayden?"Immediately, their expressions turned rather awkward before one of them answered me."Hays was worried about Mel getting a cold from being in the rain since she hadn't brought an umbrella, so he took her home."I froze in surprise.Realizing that something was off with

Wasn't Hayden driving Melissa home? Could it be that they hadn't gone far?At that moment, more of Melissa's thoughts reached me.[Hays obviously cares for me more, considering how he can't bear the idea of even a drop of rain getting on me. As for Selina? Ha! She can continue standing in the rain! Serves her right! I'm sure she'll lose her mind when she sees my lipstick smeared across Hays' collar!]A cold breeze swept past me, chilling me to the bone. My head buzzed.I thought back to years ago, when Hayden first started his career. At the time, I spent three entire months eating nothing but plain bread with him, saving money to help him pay off his debts.When he suffered from gastritis, I searched the entire city in the middle of the night for a pharmacy that was open to buy him medicine.When his parents fell ill, I was the one who took care of them and handled all the dirty work. Not once did Hayden help out or spend the night by their bedside, looking after them.He kept

Worried that I would accidentally tip them off about my presence, I climbed the stairs to the 6th floor, huffing and panting all the way.At last, I arrived on the 6th floor. My eyes instantly went to the end of the corridor, where Hayden had Melissa pinned against a room door as he kissed her. His hand slipped under her blouse, drawing a soft moan from her. "Hays… Don't… Selina will be furious if she finds out… The room key card is in my pocket… Hays, hurry up…"Hayden's hands fumbled across her body in search of the key card. With his entire body pressed against hers, he failed to see me standing on the other end of the corridor.I was frozen to the spot, feeling like all the strength had been sapped from me. My heart pounded like a drum, beating so hard that it felt like my entire chest was throbbing with pain.This was his so-called "just a friend".And this was the so-called "home" he was taking her to.Hayden finally managed to find the key card and swiped at the door. Th

As I expected, Hayden didn't come home that night.After that, I blocked him across all social media platforms and even his number.Noticing that, Hayden asked his friends to pass messages to me, saying I was being unreasonable, selfish, and had disappointed him and betrayed his trust.Over time, the atmosphere at the company changed inexplicably. The way my colleagues looked at me became sharper, more critical, while soft undercurrents of gossip flowed among the clacking of keyboards."She even wants to control normal interactions between people of the opposite sex? Isn't that being too petty and insecure?""Forcing Hayden to choose between her and Melissa? How could she do that? They've been friends for so many years!""I know, right? Mel is such a nice person. As if she could ever have any bad intentions!"I merely buried myself in my work, not responding to their words.It wasn't until I checked my phone later that day that I noticed the department group chat was in an upro

I snapped my head around, only to see a man standing a few steps away from us, his expression unreadable. His gaze darted between me and Hayden a few times before settling on Hayden's tight grip around my wrist.When I caught sight of who it was, my throat seemed to close up. I wanted nothing more than for a hole to open up and swallow me whole.The man was none other than Jared Johnson, my father's former star pupil and prized protege.Years ago, my parents even tried to set us up, but I succeeded in putting a stop to it by kicking up a huge fuss.Now, Jared was the heir to Johnson Corporation and also our company's CEO.We used to be friends, but that only lasted until I decided to start up a company with Hayden.At the time, he had told me, "Hayden isn't a good man and isn't worthy of you."However, blinded by my love for Hayden, I thought Jared was trying to drive a wedge between me and Hayden. So, I stubbornly argued, "You don't know him at all! He's more hardworking than a

My fingers tightened around the cup in my hand."My ex-boyfriend…"[What are they talking about in the CEO's office? Is that bitch involved with Mr. Johnson? Hayden is so useless! How could he have failed to keep a tighter leash on her? As if I could possibly stand aside and let Selina have such an amazing man!]Melissa's thoughts reached me clearly, causing me to subconsciously look at the office door.Almost at the same time, Jared lifted his head to look in that direction too, a chilly glint flashing in his eyes. He didn't bother getting up as he called out toward the door, "Melissa Somers, focusing your energy and efforts on your job is much more useful to you than pressing yourself up against my office door."There was a momentary silence before I heard Melissa's frantic thoughts.[How? How does he know I'm here?]Following that, the sound of panicked footsteps fleeing down the corridor rang out.I looked at Jared, somewhat stunned. It was rather terrifying how sharp he

Chapter 9

After that, Jared and I talked about how we could hear Melissa's thoughts. For Jared, although he could hear her thoughts, that ability seemed limited to a small range. He had to be within a few steps of her.On the other hand, I could hear her from quite far away, and that ability only appeared to be growing stronger. With each passing day, I was hearing more and more of Melissa's thoughts.Thus, Jared came up with a plan. We decided to use the fact that we could hear her thoughts to our advantage and set up a trap for her. He would have his assistant spread the news that a disciplinary meeting would be held in a few days, with the main topic of discussion being the "accounting irregularities" that led to my suspension. Besides that, they would also drop hints that there was evidence."Melissa is sure to panic," Jared said, staring intently at me. "The moment she does, she's definitely going to seek out Hayden, and once they make a move, they're bound to make a mistake. Since

Chapter 10

With the disciplinary hearing only three days away, Jared and I wasted no time. We gathered all the emails, chat records, and backup documents that we could find to prepare for the hearing.Melissa and Hayden weren't idle either.One of the colleagues I was closer to sent me a message. She told me Melissa and Hayden were going around telling people that I'd been suspended for making a mistake at work and was now making false accusations out of spite. They were even implying that I was mentally unstable.I replied with, "It's fine. The truth will come out."At the same time, I suddenly heard Melissa's thoughts.[We have to utterly ruin her reputation first! That way, no one will believe whatever she says! I've already bribed Uncle Bruno, so he's going to drag the internal investigation on for as long as he can. We just have to insist that she's simply slandering us. After all, she has no evidence!][Oh right! I have to get rid of the original document for that fake purchasing cont
