I Begged My Husband 99 Times to See Stardust’s Concert novel Chapter 9

As I packed up my things, no one dared to ask what had happened.

I was brought into the firm by Alexander, and everyone saw me as his protégé.

So when he was hard on me, it was just something people thought was normal.

Now that I had made such a scene in his office, no one wanted to get involved.

The only one who reacted was John, who kept her head down, pretending to be busy with paperwork.

But in our chat window, she was furiously typing away, probably setting her keyboard on fire.

My phone vibrated in my pocket, and I didn't even need to check to know John had sent a dozen exclamation marks.

I walked out of the firm, carrying my packed-up belongings.

I didn't go home—because honestly, that place didn't feel like home anymore.

Instead, I checked into a hotel, just for now.

It was an offer that was deeper than our friendship probably warranted.

But I didn't want to trouble her.

I had already decided to leave this city.

Alexander's influence might be strong, but he couldn't control every firm in the country. Right?
