While saying, her eyes reddened and she was not a person who shed tears easily. But she felt sorrowful at the moment.
At this moment, her tears flowed fiercely in the morning sunshine. She bit her lips not letting the tears drop. Unfortunately, her tears still fell when she saw his indifferent eyes. “Marley, you can’t bully me like this!”
Marley took a deep breath and his tone became even stronger. “I just want to bully you!”
He then took off his bathrobe, tucked up her clothes, and vented his desire freely leaning on her.
She closed her eyes, didn’t make a sound, and just bore his violence without giving any reaction.
Seeing her not moving at all and her tears flow fiercely from her eyes but she didn’t cry out, he stopped his action. Sylvie who was under his body made him feel even more irritated and frustrated. He frowned in annoyance, pulled his dick out instantly, and left.
Then, she heard his low voice at the door, “You can only have me as your man. If you mess around with other men, I will kill them!”
The door was slammed shut.
The villa fell into silence.
She didn’t know how long it had been, but she seemed to hear the sound of the car starting the engine.
Sylvie got up then. Her heart was sorrowful. The clothes were torn by him and they were on the carpet in the bedroom. She got up and took a shower. In the mirror, she realized there were some bruises on her fair skin. After making love, some bruises lasted for few days. These bruises were not easy to cover during summer. He did it harshly last night and this morning too. Sylvie touched the bruises and was startled a bit. Finally, she walked out of the bathroom. After drying her hair, she was very hungry.
She felt strange. She still had the appetite to eat and felt hungry even in such a situation. Sylvie laughed at herself that she was hopeless and didn’t even feel ashamed.
She changed her clothes and kept the card given by Ryan. Then, she went downstairs to the kitchen and cooked a bowl of noodles. She sat down quietly and ate the noodles. After eating, she picked up her bag and went to work.
She wouldn’t bring her emotions to work because she wanted to keep business and personal matters separated. Thinking of this, she straightened her back even more as she thought she was righteous. Then, she locked the door when she left the villa and walked to the bus stop.
When she got off the bus, she bought a set of breakfast from the supermarket which was opposite the office. This set of breakfast was for Marley.
Reception desk on the first floor of Hughes Building.
“Do you know that Mr. Ernie picked up the president’s wife yesterday?”
“The president entered the office with an angry face early in the morning. I came so early but he was earlier than me!”
“Oh my God! Mr. Ernie is a famous playboy. He has relationships with so many women! Will his Sylvie be one of them?”
“Oh my God! Is she cheating on the president?”
“Oh my God! It’s so pitiful that the president married such a woman for Hughes Group. The woman even cheated on him, he is so pitiful!”
“Shh! Sylvie is here!” …
When Sylvie entered the building, she saw two receptionists and two staff members whispering at the reception desk. She didn’t know what they were talking about. They went silent immediately when they saw her. She instantly knew that they were talking about her without any guess.
Sylvie entered the elevator quietly and ignored the strange gaze. It was the same situation in the elevator. Everyone fix their gazes on her and she took the staff elevator today too. Once the door was closed, the atmosphere of the surroundings became weird.
Almost everyone was silent. When someone looked at her, she raised her head and looked at them. But then they looked away quickly. Sylvie pursed her lips quietly and remained silent.
She went upstairs in this kind of weird atmosphere all the way.
She came to the office quite early, so the others had not come yet.
The lights were switched on in the president’s room and she knew that Marley was inside.
Sylvie stood at the door, took a deep breath, and knocked on the door. A low male voice came from the room, “Come in!”
When she opened the door, she saw him sitting on the sofa and putting his long legs on the coffee table. The room was full of smoke and there was a pile of cigarette butts in the ashtray on the coffee table.
Sylvie stood at the door. She felt a little awkward and restless, but still straightened her back, and looked at him determinedly.
Marley wore a black casual suit with three buttons of the shirt off. That should be the most attractive way to wear a shirt nowadays. His hair was black and his eyes were dark. He seemed to know that it was her and he was not surprised.
Sylvie walked over and put the breakfast on the tea table.
The pile of cigarette butts in the ashtray was very eye-catching and there were a lot. It seemed like he had been smoking since this morning.
“Have some breakfast!” She looked at him and said calmly.
Marley raised his head and looked at her. Sylvie's eyes looked clear and she faced his eyes calmly.
However, Marley only said two words in a deep voice, “Get out!”
Sylvie didn’t move. She looked at him, bit her lips, and took a deep breath.
“Get out!” He said the two words again.
Sylvie said calmly, “The relationship between Ryan and me was clear. I never treated you as a gigolo, so you don’t have to think of yourself so lowly and looked down on yourself. You know it very well. If we can’t get along with each other, then we just don’t live together. We are tired, aren’t we?
Marley was very angry. Did she want to leave him? Couldn’t she see that he was very angry? Ignoring his anger and holding another man’s card, what was he to her!

the writing is quite childish, but maybe it's just the translations...
