Mason softened his tone, trying to soothe her.
“I was actually going to tell you the same thing. The girl’s throwing a tantrum, saying she doesn’t want to be mistress. So let’s satisfy
her.”
“We’ll divorce temporarily, and after I’ve had my fun, we’ll remarry. Charlie, don’t worry–in my heart, you’ll always be Mrs. Sullivan. No one will ever take your place.”
Mason leaned in to kiss her, but Charlotte turned away.
The fresh red marks on his neck made her eyes sting with pain.
He’d just been with another woman and now wanted to touch her.
“Ugh…” She couldn’t help gagging.
Mason frowned. “What’s wrong? Are you feeling ill?”
“No. As you wish, I’ll have the lawyer draw up divorce papers tomorrow. I’ll sign them, giving you time to enjoy your days with Sophia.”
“Good girl. I knew my wife would be understanding! Give me three months, and after I’ve had my fun, we’ll remarry, okay?”
Charlotte said nothing more.
Remarry?
Mason Sullivan, in my dictionary, there’s only divorce, never remarriage!
Since you love excitement and games, I’ll give you exactly what you want!
When Charlotte arrived at the office early the next morning, the divorce papers were already waiting on her desk.
Her heart dropped. She hadn’t expected Mason to move so quickly.
Flipping to the last page, she saw Mason had already signed.
She took out a pen from her drawer and signed her name without hesitation.
After signing, she submitted a resignation letter.
It was quickly approved by HR, and soon after, by Mason as well.
Within thirty minutes, HR called her.
“Mrs. Sullivan–oh, I mean, Ms. West–I just realized that resignation letter was yours. The CEO doesn’t seem to have noticed either.
Should we remind him and have it withdrawn?”
“No need. If the CEO hasn’t mentioned it, you don’t need to either.”
“So you’re really leaving in a month? Ms. West, you’re the company’s advertising director. What will the company do without you?”
“My departure won’t affect the company at all. Don’t worry, your CEO will figure something out.”
After hanging up, Charlotte was about to deliver the divorce papers when her office door was suddenly kicked open. Mason stormed

in, furious.
“Charlotte, what did you do to Sophia? Why did she resign?”
Charlotte frowned. “What resignation? I haven’t seen her. How would I know why she resigned?”
“I saw her resignation this morning. She hasn’t come to the office today. As her supervisor, you don’t know anything about this?”
Mason grabbed her chin harshly. “I thought you’d come around last night, but you were just deceiving me? Are you really this
cold–blooded?”
“Sophia’s father died, and she’s homeless. Without a job, where will she go?”
Her chin hurt from his grip, but her heart hurt more.
She and Sophia had submitted resignation letters at the same time. He approved hers but was outraged about Sophia’s.
Fighting through the pain, she replied, “I don’t know anything. I will never take responsibility for something I didn’t do!”
“Still stubborn?” He released her chin roughly. “Security! Lock Charlotte in the storage closet.”
“What? Mason, have you forgotten? I have claustrophobia!”
Charlotte couldn’t believe what she was hearing. During their wedding, she’d accidentally been locked in a hotel makeup room.
When Mason found out, he tried to break down the door with a chair, then smashed a fire extinguisher case and used the
extinguisher to break open the door and rescue her.
Back then, his hands and arms were covered in glass shards, bleeding profusely, but he still held her tightly.
“Charlie, I’m sorry. I promise I’ll never let anyone lock you up again!”
Yet now, for Sophia’s whereabouts, he was ordering her locked in a storage closet.
He knew perfectly well she had traumatic experiences and was terrified of enclosed spaces!
“If I don’t punish you, you won’t learn to fear me. What are you waiting for? Do it now!”
At Mason’s command, security rushed in and locked her in the storage closet.
Employees who witnessed this were shocked:

“What’s gotten into Mr. Sullivan? He used to treat Ms. West like she was precious, afraid she’d break if he wasn’t careful. Why is he so angry today?”
“Isn’t it obvious? It’s all for Sophia. People have been saying she’s involved with the CEO, and it looks like it’s true!”
“Poor Ms. West!”
“Mr. Sullivan cheated? How could he when Ms. West is so amazing?”
“Aren’t all men like this? Especially rich ones like the CEO?”
