All Chapters of She Plans My Promotion, I'm Planning Divorce: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Stacy's cruel words had hurt me deeply over the years.Yet, I heard the admiration in her thoughts."Zack's a smart one. He knows how to keep Jake from leaving. I'll give him another bonus later!"It was so ridiculous that I actually laughed.Zack was clearly mocking me, but Stacy didn't seem to realize it at all.I didn't want to say anything more, so I turned around and walked away.Stacy immediately grew anxious. She stepped forward, grabbed my arm, and said impatiently, "Why are you getting so upset? I just told you off a little. That's all. Haven't you always wanted a promotion? I…"As she spoke, Stacy finally held out the vice president appointment letter. The paper was wrinkled from how tightly she had been clutching it.I frowned.Just as I was about to turn her down, Zack snatched the appointment letter from her.He unfolded it, and then covered his mouth. Zack exclaimed with shameless delight, "Ms. Levine, you just promoted me to manager, and now you're making m

Stacy would never chase after me.Her thoughts were filled with smugness. "Jake has always been attached to me. He'll definitely come running back within three hours."I silently told myself, "I'm never going back. Not in this lifetime."…The next day, I was at Sidman Group, buried in paperwork.My phone lit up with a message from Stacy, demanding an explanation. "Jacob, where are you? You skipped work without permission. I'm cutting your pay in half this month."I scoffed and ignored her.Didn't she know I quit yesterday? What a stupid question.That evening, she unexpectedly messaged me again just as I was leaving work."It's Grandma's birthday today. She insisted I invite you. Come if you want."My grip tightened around my phone.Stacy usually bossed me around and mocked me, but her grandmother, Martha Thorne, had always treated me well. Martha was a gentle, caring woman.So I replied with a simple "Okay".But when I hurried to the mansion, I saw Stacy with her arm l

Stacy snatched the champagne from a server's tray and smashed it at my feet.She shouted, "Say that again! What did Belle put in your head that makes you think you can talk to me like that?"The glass shattered, and some of the pieces even cut into the back of my hand. Blood seeped from the wounds.Everyone watched with malicious delight, certain I was in serious trouble.However, I heard the panic in Stacy's thoughts. "Oh no, is Jake hurt? What if he thinks I'm too mean and ends up liking that fake, two-faced Belle instead?"Zack cried out in surprise and hurried to take Stacy's hand to check her fingers.The next moment, he pulled out a handkerchief and wiped the floor with it.He spoke with concern. "There's water on the floor. We don't want you slipping and falling, Ms. Levine."The pattern on the handkerchief looked familiar. It was from a pajama set I had once spent several late nights embroidering for Stacy.But now, the pajamas had been cut into rags and was being us

"Thank goodness I have Zack to help me figure things out. Jake really is trying to fool me! I knew it had to be that tramp, Belle. She'd do anything to win the bid!" Stacy thought.Thinking this, she put on her usual haughty attitude and disdainfully tossed the divorce papers into my arms."Jacob, tell Belle that winning the bid takes real skill. Don't even think about using dirty tricks!"After saying that, she stole a cautious glance at me and licked her lips. I knew she always did that when she was nervous.The next moment, she cleared her throat and said, "Well, Jacob, if you come back to me now, I might consider giving you a little promotion. You could be a manager."Before I could say anything, a clear female voice came from behind me. "A manager? Stacy, who are you looking down on?"Next thing I knew, Belle walked up beside me. She was dressed in a sleek business dress.She swept her dark hair back and said icily, "Jacob is Sidman Group's vice president, and you want him

Belle grew angrier as she spoke. Then she grabbed my arm and pulled me out of the bidding venue.I was still a little stunned as I looked down at her tense profile. I followed right behind her without putting up a fight.So this was what it felt like having someone to stand up for me. It felt great.Belle and I hadn't seen each other many times. Most of those meetings had been at business gatherings.Because Stacy and Belle didn't get along, I barely spoke to Belle.When I decided to leave Stacy and approached Belle about joining her company, I expected her to either tear into me or turn me down.Instead, Belle reached out to me herself. She told me she had always admired my work and was looking forward to having me on her team.For some reason, I felt a little emotional.Belle was still angry when she pulled me onto the main road.I stopped in my tracks and gently freed my hand from hers.She stopped too and looked at me, confused.I tried to speak as calmly as I could.
