Yet, Elspeth wasn’t bothered at all.
“I’m giving you one more chance. Are you sure you don’t want to tell us the truth?”
At this moment, Alaina’s heart skipped a beat.
“What do you mean?”
“I accidentally took a screenshot when I was comparing Instagram handles. Do you want to take
“You took a screenshot?”
Alaina’s face turned pale in an instant.
“Why did you do that?”
“I was afraid that someone would deny it.”
Elspeth took out her phone and waved it at Alaina.
“So? Do you want to see it yourself? It was still your ID when I checked just now.”
“Okay. I admit it. It was my doing.”
The last line of defense in her heart had collapsed completely. As she looked at Elspeth’s smiley face, she couldn’t understand why she lost all of a sudden.
“Well, I lied. I didn’t screenshot it. I just wanted to see if you’ll admit it.”
It was a fact that Elspeth didn’t take a screenshot just now, and she didn’t expect Alaina to retort with a countercharge. After all, Alaina was still young. She spat everything out after a little bluff.
“You….”
Just when Alaina was going to curse at Elspeth, the woman, who was listening from the side the whole time, stepped forward after understanding the whole picture. So, the woman that Evan cheated on me with is actually this woman here!
As the furious woman stepped forward, she glowered at Alaina and shouted,
“Why did you hook up with my husband?! You b*tch! You know very well that he’s married, but why did you still seduce him?!”
Feeling humiliated, Alaina chuckled.
“Nothing happened between your husband and me. We were just flirting. Also, your husband is not my cup of tea. He’s the one who keeps pestering me
After rolling her eyes, Avery said,
“Ma’am, don’t listen to her bullsh*t. She’s famous for being an unethical social butterfly in our company. Your husband is not the only one she flirts with.”
When the woman heard that, her resentment grew inside her like a tumor. She rushed forward right away and gave a tight slap on Alaina’s face.
“Since you’re so good at flirting, I should teach you a lesson in the name of justice! I really want to see who will be on your side!”
Meanwhile, Elspeth looked away for a moment, giving tacit approval to this behavior.
With the body of an ordinary girl, how could Alaina fight a woman who cooked and did laundry every day? Within seconds, Alaina was slapped until she could see stars in front of her eyes, and her face was filled with red palm prints.
“I think that’s enough. You might kill her if you continue.”
Elspeth pretended to stop the fight as she pulled the woman aside.
“I’m gonna call the police and sue you for murder!”
Hearing that, the woman refuted right away,
“Sue me for murder? I should be the one suing you for cheating with my husband! B*tch. You’re sick! Aren’t you afraid that God will punish you for hooking up with so many men?!”
“I didn’t know that such a thing was happening in my company.”
As soon as Callum ended the video conference in his office and removed his earphones, he heard a loud noise from the outside. So, he stood at a distance and listened to everything, understanding the whole picture.
At this moment, he had a poker face on and looked enraged. However, the employees noticed something strange. By right, this should be bad news since it would affect the company’s image internally and externally, but they noticed that his face wasn’t as sullen as they imagined it would be. Instead, there was a mere smile on the corners of his lips. Is that a smile? Or is there something wrong with our eyes?
Callum’s stance on the matter was crucial, so Alaina stared at him, asking for his help with her eyes. She hoped that he would take her side after seeing her so pitiful. However, she had forgotten that the person on her opposite side was Elspeth, the woman whom Callum treasured the most.
“Alaina, I didn’t know you had so many hidden talents.”
His voice was bitter, and disgust could be seen on his face.
“A person with dishonorable behavior doesn’t deserve to stay in this company. Alaina, please sign the resignation paper later. For the sake of your career advancement, I won’t make this a big deal, but don’t let me see you again in the future.”
When Alaina heard that, her face turned as white as a sheet. F’ck. It’s really the end for me.
Only after Alaina was chased out did Elspeth notice that the woman whom Avery had pulled to the back was sobbing, and many employees gathered around her to comfort her, but most of them were women.
“Why are you crying?”
The woman cried for too long, making her snivel when she talked.
“My husband and I have been together since junior high. After I graduated from there, I stopped studying and worked to pay his school fees and let him continue studying at a good university. He said he’d treat me well, but he still cheated on me in the end…”
After hearing that, Elspeth turned sentimental as well.
Time had taken away her beauty.a Once her husband had met someone more beautiful than her, he would forget about the promises he made to her. After all, a crooked wife was nothing compared to a beautiful maiden.
“Cheating is a sin. Why don’t you just get a divorce?”
Elspeth patted her shoulder and suggested.
“How can I? I still have a child waiting for me back at home. I can’t get a divorce for the sake of my child.”
The woman sighed deeply. Then, she seemed to have remembered something as she stood up.
“I still have to get back home and feed my child. Sorry to bother you guys.”
She smiled kindly.
The woman surrounding her sighed and felt pity for the woman to have such a bad marriage.
In the end, the man in question said nothing. Once he heard that the woman had come to his office, he ran out and hadn’t even returned.
Initially, Elspeth was going to ask Callum to fire this irresponsible man. However, she suppressed the thought since she didn’t want the man’s wife and child to suffer.
Once it was over, Elspeth went to the rooftop by herself. Just as she was enjoying some time alone, Callum appeared out of nowhere and sat beside her.
“I heard you called me your boyfriend.”
Never did Elspeth expect that he would have heard her words. At that moment, she blushed and said,
“Don’t take it seriously. I said it just to make her go away.”
“It doesn’t matter if you were serious. Now that everyone knows about it, it would be awkward if you were not my girlfriend.”
Callum looked at her seriously. His heart was beating wildly as he looked at her flushed face under the sunset.
“1-I can’t just accept this.”
When Callum sensed that Elspeth would agree to be his girlfriend unless he did it the proper way, he chuckled. Then, he found the loophole in her words and asked,
“Does that mean you will be mine if I confess my love to you?”
At that moment, Elspeth was shocked since she didn’t expect Callum to be smart.
After all, who wouldn’t want their date to be as decent as possible?
