Farewell To My Endless Love novel Chapter 216

Lucia's POV:

The moment I found out that our director was the one who was speaking with Charles over the phone, I grew so frightened that my whole body shook uncontrollably.

"Charles, I'm so sorry! I never meant to offend you. Please forgive me this time! It was all my fault. You can punish me and do as you like to me, but please let me keep my job!"

"You're the one who asked for it, Lucia." Charles showed me no pity. He sneered, then spun on his heel and strode out. He didn't bother sparing me a single glance even as he left.

A deep sense of despair overwhelmed me, pushing me into darkness. I collapsed and lay on the floor, panting anxiously, feeling like my soul had flown out of my body.

However, I had no time to dwell on my loss. The next instant, the phone in my pocket buzzed.

The sound startled me. My fear intensified, and I didn't have the courage to pick up the call. I glanced at the number and instantly knew it was the personnel manager. A horrible feeling rose inside me.

"Lucia, you're fired! Please pack up your belongings and leave the TV station right away. We will complete the rest of the procedures in three days."

"No, no! I'm sorry! I apologize for everything I've done! I'll accept any punishment, but please don't fire me...!"

But before I could finish, the personnel manager hung up immediately. My body froze as an icy sensation spread throughout me. I felt cold physically and mentally, like I had fallen into freezing waters. I knew I was in desperate circumstances.

All of a sudden, I thought of someone who could help me. With this small ray of hope, I struggled to get up from the ground. My ankle ached terribly, but I had no time to care about the pain. I limped to a chair and quickly dialed Linda's number.

"Aunt Linda, you have to help me! The personnel manager fired me!"

"What's going on? How did that happen?"

"I... I offended Charles."

"What? Idiot girl!"

"Stop swearing and just help me! You're my aunt, aren't you?!"

"Alright. Go and find Spencer. He's Charles' best friend, and he's still single."

"What of it?"

"I heard that he's fond of beautiful women. You might be able to attract his attention and gain his favor. He should be able to help you then."

At Linda's suggestion, I decided to go to see Spencer that very night.

I went home and took a shower. I dolled up my face with layers upon layers of make-up, ensuring that my face looked perfect. I carefully curled up my hair and put on a short, tight skirt. My feet were still in pain from my fall before, but I endured it and wore high heels to complete my look.

'You won't be able to resist me, Spencer!'

Scarlett's POV:

After the debacle was over, I exited the TV station with Charles.

He held my hand tenderly and said, "Scarlett, why don't we go to the Mint Bar tonight? Just the two of us."

In view of Charles's good behavior today, I nodded in agreement.

Later that evening, Janet drove us to the bar.

As soon as Charles and I got out of the car, I noticed a familiar-looking woman standing at the entrance. Her skimpy short skirt was particularly eye-catching, sticking to her curves sensually.

Is that... Lucia? She had cried so bitterly earlier during the day, but now, she had already dolled up and was going to spend her time in a bar. It was all very strange to me.

I tore my eyes off her and ignored her, and entered the bar with Charles. There was no need to concern myself over her.

It was very noisy inside, the ambience resembling a loud carnival. Men and women were on the dance floor, shaking their heads and twisting their bodies to the booming music. People shouted and screamed in manic joy as the DJ played the beats, the sound growing louder and louder by the minute.
