Shi Jue watched Xia Ningyan walk away. He then looked at the steaming hot tea on the table. He felt irritated for no reason. He strode over and waved his arm.
Crack!
The teacup fell to the floor and shattered into multiple pieces.
The hot tea spilled all over the floor.
Just as she was about to reach the door, Xia Ningyan heard the teacup as it hit the ground. She did not turn around after hearing it. Instead, the corners of her bright red lips curled up into a strange smile.
Her eyes were filled with pride. 'Didn't I tell you? Shi Jue, you will be mine. You will be mine. You will never run away!' Xia Ningyan thought to herself.
It was Monday already.
The weather that morning was gloomy.
The sky was a little cloudy as if it was about to rain.
Xia Weiyang was at the design company.
Xia Weiyang was almost late when she reached the office.
She entered the design department and walked to her seat. Before she sat down, she suddenly realized that the atmosphere around her was not right. Xia Weiyang raised her head and looked around in confusion. She realized that everyone was looking at her in a very strange way.
Suddenly, Xia Weiyang's gaze swept past Song Yue's position. There was no one there.
Although she was puzzled by Song Yue's absence, Xia Weiyang did not ask her colleagues where she was.
After all, she had other things she needed to focus on.
Xia Weiyang sat down and immersed herself in her work. She thought that Song Yue would be back soon. However, she had not seen her for more than an hour since she got to the office.
After a while, Xia Weiyang got up and went to the bathroom.
"Look, it's her!"
"Where? Where? Oh, I see her. Isn't she pretty? But I still think her sister is prettier."
"That's why I'm so jealous of her. I heard that she took the position that Song Yue had always wanted. Do you guys think that she used cheap tricks to get that position?"
"That's really disgusting. She probably used her dirty body to seduce young master Shi Jue. How can there be such a detestable and shameless woman in this world!"
...
Xia Weiyang's face turned black after hearing the comments of the people around her.
They were talking about her behind her back!
She finally understood why the office had a strange atmosphere.
It seemed people think she was the reason why Song Yue was not at the office that day.
Xia Weiyang walked into the bathroom with a dark expression on her face. A moment later, she walked out of the cubicle and washed her hands. She looked up and saw Song Yue through the mirror in front of her.
Song Yue was dressed in a cleaner's outfit.
She was holding a plastic bucket and a mop in both hands. Her hair was slightly messy and her face was a little disheveled. Xia Weiyang never thought she would see Song Yue like this.
Although Song Yue was mean to her in the past, Xia Weiyang slightly felt sorry for her.
How did she end up working as a cleaner?
Did Shi Jue do this?
Xia Weiyang lowered her head to avoid Song Yue's gaze. After washing her hands, she turned around to leave.
Suddenly, Song Yue stood in front of Xia Weiyang and blocked her way.
Xia Weiyang initially thought Song Yue would confront and attack her.
"Xia Weiyang, I'm sorry. I'm sorry for what I did. I sincerely want to apologize to you. I didn't know that you knew young master Shi Jue. It was my fault. I brought this upon myself. Now that I know I've made a mistake, I beg you, please tell young master Shi Jue. I don't wish to return to my original position. I only hope that young master Shi Jue will let me leave. I really do!"
Song Yue stared into Xia Weiyang's eyes with a pleading expression on her face.
She no longer looked arrogant.
Song Yue felt anxious as she waited for Xia Weiyang's response.
She then stepped forward and reached out to grab Xia Weiyang's clothes.
