I Stole the Bully’s Fiancé and Started to Revenge novel Chapter 7

I stood in the corner, watching the scene, a smile creeping onto my lips. 

This little gift, I hope you like it, Ashley. 

Without your right-hand man, how will you manage? 

It'd been a month since I returned to the company, and the bruises on my neck had faded.

Daniel quietly asked me about my settlement with the Parkers, worried if I'd been threatened. 

I shook my head.

"We're colleagues, after all. I didn't want to make things too messy..." 

Daniel sighed.

"You're too soft. You let people walk all over you." 

I smiled sweetly.

"With Daniel around, who would dare bully me?" 

I looked at him with a hint of vulnerability in my eyes, like a wounded little rabbit. 

He paused, his ears turning slightly red, then quickly changed the subject.

"How's she been lately?" 

I smiled.

"Ethan said he's been busy helping his brother pack, so he doesn't have time to handle the team-building event..." 

The creative planning department held quarterly team-building events to boost morale, something Ashley usually took charge of. 

This time, she'd passed it off. 

As if a Parker heiress needed to personally pack luggage. 

It was just her way of showing Daniel her displeasure with me.

Daniel always indulged his fiancée's little tantrums, and this time was no different.

He let out a sigh, about to call Ashley, but I spoke first.

"Daniel, Ethan and his brother are really close."

"Why not let them spend some more time together?"

"I'll handle the team retreat."

I grinned. "I owe it all to you, Daniel."

He chuckled, ruffling my hair.

I turned, locking eyes with Ashley's icy gaze.

I smiled back, completely unbothered.

After a while, everyone gathered around.

Someone suggested a talent show to liven things up.

Naturally, this group of overachievers had plenty to offer and eagerly took turns performing.

One after another.

Impressive displays all around.

I watched, fully entertained.

Then, a voice rang out—

"My turn."
