Manipulating Grades, Stealing Hearts novel Chapter 4

That night, hours after my interview ended, my hot-headed ex-boyfriend finally unblocked me.

I immediately opened his profile and frantically took screenshots of everything.

After gathering all the intel I could, I finally send him the answer he was looking for.

[You are still the same as before.]

[CHILDISH.]

Oops, two seconds after "read" , I got blocked again.

What a temper.

On my first day at work, trying to appease my ex-boyfriend and now boss, I brought him a warm coffee.

After just one sip, his face darkened.

"You don't even know how to make coffee?"

I smiled good-naturedly. "Should I throw this out and brew you a new one instead?"

He looked down and took another big sip.

"Don't let it happen again."

After that, Wesley became completely absorbed in his work.

I felt a bit disappointed. Was this what he meant by torturing me?

After working continuously for several hours, I went to the break room for a breather.

A friend from the company came in to find me.

"Sloane, did the CEO scold you?"

"She picked out a few attractive employees and voluntarily told them about her overseas stories with the CEO."

"But no one asked her! It was like a dog marking its territory. By the end of the day, these stories had spread throughout the company."

Hearing this, my hands clenched into fists.

When I saw Wesley's photo that day, I only felt that our fate wasn't finished. I didn't want any regrets, so I came.

Before coming, I had imagined many results.

For instance, Wesley discovering I'd joined the company, hating me so much that he fired me immediately.

But among all these possibilities, none included Wesley having someone else.

I returned to my desk, my heart heavy, almost unable to breathe.
