Vivian quietly heaved a sigh of relief when she heard him say that. Her face started regaining some colour.
However, Chow looked rather angry and irritated for being interrupted in the middle of 'business'.
The atmosphere was ruined. Everything felt cold in the office once again.
There was no way for them to continue where they left off earlier anymore. Chow stormed back to his desk and spoke to Vivian in a gruff voice. "Wait here. We'll go home together after work."
Of course, Vivian dared not disobey him. She could only agree to anything he said. "Okay."
Chow glanced over at Vivian and caught sight of her swollen lips. All of a sudden, he felt that time was passing just too excruciatingly slowly.
It had been a few days since she hurt her ankle from falling down the stairs.
However, Chow never once appeared again after sending her to the hospital on the day that she got hurt.
Although Celine was already used to his ignorance, she still couldn't help feeling a little uneasy because she hadn't seen Chow for such a long time.
She could never let herself be at ease whenever it came to matters concerning Chow.
Even though she became Chow's girlfriend because of that incident, she was still wary of the day when Chow would dump her and kick her aside like she was nothing.
That was why she always had to watch Chow closely before anything happened. She couldn't let him kick her away like she was trash.
Celine took a deep breath and walked into the lift from the underground parking lot. She then hit the button for the 37th floor.
Because she was Chow's girlfriend, she could freely walk in and out of his office building and take the lift straight to the 37th floor whenever she wished. It was just that every time she did, she would still have to wait for Ethan to announce her arrival to Chow before she could go in to see him.
She really hated that feeling it gave her.
It made her feel insignificant.
Why was it that his assistant could get closer to Chow than she, his girlfriend, could?
The lift door slid open with a soft ding. Celine stepped out and made her way to Chow's office. She was surprised to find Ethan's office door wide open, with the assistant nowhere in sight.
Why wasn't Ethan in his office? Did that mean that Chow wasn't here either?
Celine walked into the empty office with an uneasy look on her face. However, the nearer she got to Chow's office door, the louder she heard the familiar rustling sound of clothes brushing against each other.
Chow's office door hadn't been properly shut. The sounds coming from the door were loud and clear.
It was also precisely this familiar rustling sound that made her heart hammer harder against her chest.
The sounds were obviously the soft pants and gasps one would make when being intimate with someone else.
Did he really bring a woman into his office?
Celine tightly clenched her fists and slowly walked to the door. She peeked inside through the crack of the door.
True enough, Celine saw Chow holding a girl in his arms as he kissed her passionately. His back was to Celine, so she couldn't quite see who the girl was. The way Chow held the girl so preciously in his arms made Celine's heart drop to her stomach.
Chow had never been this gentle with her whenever they were intimate.
Celine felt her blood boiling. She exhaled softly in anger and stared at the two figures in the room, determined to find out who this girl was.
As the duo continued kissing in each other's arms, they started turning around subconsciously — allowing for Celine to catch a glimpse of the girl in Chow's arms.
It was her?!
Celine staggered as her knees went weak, accidentally pushing against the door with a sudden creak.
The creaking sound startled both the kissing duo and also Celine.
"Who's that? Is that you, Assistant Ethan?" Chow's voice floated out immediately.
In the meantime, Celine quickly turned on her heels and fled out of the door.
It was fortunate that she had been wearing flats that day. Otherwise, the sound of her usual high heels clicking would have given her away at once.
She didn't stop until she reached the lifts. She jabbed at the descend button repeatedly until the doors finally slid open for her.
It was only after Celine entered the lift with her hands on her heart that she started processing what she'd seen just now. She frowned. "It was Vivian... I never thought that Vivian was such a b*tch!"
Even though she'd only just caught sight of half her face, she was very certain that it was Vivian she had seen in Chow's arms.
Celine clenched her fists tightly, her eyes flashing in anger.
She had always felt that there was something fishy about the relationship between Chow and Vivian, but she naively thought that it was just because Chow said he hated her with all his might.
However, she never thought that Chow would 'hate' Vivian like this.
That b*tch was just like her mother, stealing other people's men from right under their eyes!
The anger in her eyes could no longer be concealed. "Vivian, did you really think that you could compare to me?" Celine said in a dangerously low voice.
