Regardless, my feelings of sympathy toward her did not make me hate her any less as I still remembered how she kept picking a fight with me.
Meanwhile, Michael kept me company every day in and out of work. Although the nature of our relationship was a thorn in both our sides, I was satisfied with what I had.
One day, Emma showed up in front of the office building the moment I came out. Judging by the way she was standing in my path, it didn’t take a genius to figure out that she was here to cause trouble.
Michael had left the office early in the afternoon to discuss an important project, so Emma was obviously here for me.
“You’re in my way, Ms. Jones,” I said coldly with a frown.
“I think we really need to talk, Ms. Garcia.”
Emma had the same old vicious look in her eyes when she looked at me, and that ruined her otherwise beautiful appearance.
“I don’t think there’s anything for us to talk about, Ms. Jones. You’ve stated your point twice now, and I believe I have made myself very clear as well. I suggest you stop wasting your time.”
Emma’s probably trying to threaten me into leaving Michael again, just like she did on both of our previous encounters, but I’m not about to give in to her threats!
Emma’s eyes lit up with rage when she saw how stubborn I was. She then glanced behind me and broke into a sinister grin as she threatened me, “Ms. Garcia, are you sure you want to be talking about your affair with Mr. Shaw here where all of your colleagues can hear us? What would they think if they find out you’re sleeping with your CEO?”
I got a little worried upon hearing that as I recalled how people treated me when they suspected me of having an affair with Michael.
“Ms. Jones, don’t you get tired of resorting to threats all the time?”
I hated the feeling of being threatened, and this was the second time Emma had threatened me.
“I’m fine with it as long as it helps me get what I want. Let’s talk over coffee, Ms. Garcia,” Emma said with a smug grin that did nothing to hide the look of hatred in her eyes.
She then turned around and began walking toward a nearby café before I could say anything in protest.
As angry as I was, I had no choice but to do as told and sat down across in front of her at a table.
After a few minutes of sitting in silence, I was starting to lose my patience and said coldly, “How about you not waste both of our time and just say what you came to say?”
“I came to talk to you about Michael, of course. I’m sure you know very well what we did after I called you that night, Ms. Garcia. I’m Michael’s official girlfriend, so I will be the one he marries in the future. Unless you want to be labeled as a homewrecker, I suggest you back off as soon as possible,” Emma said.
And here I thought she would finally have something new to say… This is no different from what she said the other day!
