Allen hadn’t seen who closed the door earlier, but the faint trace of a familiar, subtle natural remedy fragrant lingering in the air made it clear that Suzy had been there.
Damn it. If it weren’t for Riley reeking of alcohol last night, he would’ve realized sooner. Hearing that Suzy had been there, Riley’s brows knitted tightly. “So, you think I did this on purpose?”
“What else?” Allen retorted, his tone dripping with mockery, “Riley, do you think sabotaging my engagement with Boss will make me choose you? I’d rather marry a stranger than have anything to do with someone as scheming as you!”
“Scheming?”
Riley didn’t want to feel hurt, but it was as if a blade was slicing through her heart, leaving her on the verge of tears. She fought hard to keep them from falling. “You’re right. I am scheming. Last night, it was intentional. And everything I said about not holding you responsible? All lies. You slept with me. Of course, you have to take responsibility!”
Leaning down, she grabbed his jaw firmly, her gaze cold and unwavering. “I’ll make sure you’re stuck with me for the rest of your life.”
With that, she let out a bitter laugh and shoved him away, her strength leaving no room for argument. Turning on her heel, she stormed out in her high heels, not sparing him a single glance.

Seeing the guilt written all over Riley’s face, Suzy couldn’t bear it. “I know. What’s done is done. I’ll make sure Allen takes responsibility for this.”
Suzy had been the first to notice Riley’s feelings for Allen.
Though a forced relationship often didn’t end well, things had escalated to this point. As her leader, Suzy felt she should step in and help Riley.
“Boss…” Riley burst into tears again. “You’re not mad at me?”
“Why would I be mad?” Suzy chuckled. “You were just being used! Besides, Allen and t

were just faking our engagement.”
“Faking?” Riley frowned in confusion.
Suzy’s gaze narrowed slightly. “You don’t know?”
Riley shook her head. “I thought you really had feelings for Allen…”
Suzy let out a cold laugh. “That bastard dared to play me with a two–faced act!”
Riley was speechless.
So, Allen had lied, intentionally misleading her to make her give up on him?
Did he dislike her that much?
Noticing the pallor on Riley’s face, Suzy gave her shoulder a reassuring pat. “The only reason I decided to get engaged to him was to handle Dylan and Hawk. I’ve always known how you feel about him–why would I ever try to take him from you? Besides, he’s not even my type.”
