Everyone watched my back as I walked away. The entire office fell silent.X
That woman who always looked so sure and handled things without mishap I was the person who handled things calmly even when the project temporarily collapsed dragging her suitcase without looking back at all.8
Ken stood at the end of the hallway and coldly announced “Starting today,Hazel is the new general assistant.If you need anything in the future.go to her,”
No one dared to respond, let alone objecti
He wrapped his arm around Hazel and turned to enter the CEO’s office!
Hazel, with coffee stains all over her her clothes disheveled leaned into his embrace like a victor basking in everyone’s gaze. The comers of her mouth curled up in a smug smile she couldn’t hide
However, the moment the office door closed behind them, the employees’expressions shifted. It wasn’t like they didn’t know about Ken’s obsession with cleanliness.
He never allowed his employees to bring takeout into the conference room he didn’t allow water stains on the teacups and he didn’t tolerate others appearing in his office without proper attire. There was even an intern he kicked out once just because their collar wasn’t buttoned right
Yet now,Hazel,covered in stains, was being held by him and personally led into his changing room. He even opened the private changing room for her.!!
In the eyes of the parties involved, this might be a love that breaks the principle” but in the eyes of the onlookers,it was utterly chilling
If love could override faimess, then what did the rest of the employees who pulled all–nighters and poured in real effort count for?
Some of the new hires were confused, just looking around at each other
However, the senior employees who had fought through tough battles with me stayed up late to have meetings to revise plans and climbed from a small department to where we were now,their faces all turned grim
None of them ever knew about my relationship with Ken Over the past seven years,even the closest secretary only thought that Ken and I were just silent partners and no matter how good our relationship was we did it appropriately
They could not understand,nor guess, but they were not stupid.
After what happened today,Ken didn’t even ask for my side of the story. He just believed that the performance Hazel put on,slapped me in front of everyone and threw away everything I’d built over the past seven years.
As the employee, they could not help but wonder if it were me today, would it be their turn tomorrow?
One employee quietly adjusted his glasses,opened his laptop pulled up a resignation letter he had started drafting a while ago and saved it in the draft box He stared at it for a moment..then hit’send”
When the HR personnel mceived a series of e-mails,she could not help but smille bitterly How was she s supposed to break the news to the boss?What a headache
Meanwhile Hazel stood in front of Ken’s private changing room,took off her coffee–stained dress and slipped into one of his neatly
folded white shirts.
It was the clothes he usually wore to high–level meetings. They were tailored perfectly and of the finest quality
After Hazel wore it,she deliberately left the top two buttons undone,revealing her delicate collarbones and walked out slowly toward him.“Ken, I still smell like coffee. Why don’t you help me pick another shirt?
She leaned close to his ear her tone full of flirtation and coyness and yet Ken just lowered his head and looked at his phone without
moving.
He had been refreshing the chat window for five minutes and still there were no new messages.
I literally just walked away like that without any argument or accusation I did not turn around or even utter a word of blame.
He had assumed I’d break down.come to him and demand to know why he did this to me,cry and beg to stay,or even trash the place in a rage However, I did not do any of it
