Betrayed and Dumped: She Rose Stronger Than Ever novel Chapter 138

The next day was Rebecca’s last in Northgate.

That morning, she and Cindy stopped by two more clients. Neither of them seemed interested. They barely listened, got up halfway through their pitch, and left without a second glance.

Cindy was fuming. “Seriously? Could they be any ruder? They didn’t even pretend to care.”

Rebecca was already packing up her laptop, totally unfazed. “This is just how it is. We’re basically like those people who keep calling to sell you stuff. Imagine how you feel when you get a spam call.”

Cindy made a face and groaned. “Okay, fair point.”

After lunch, they checked out of the hotel and grabbed a cab to the airport.

Stephen had to stick around for more client meetings, so he wasn’t coming with them.

But, as luck would have it, Bruce and Sonja turned out to be on the same flight.

Cindy scoffed quietly. “There’s no way this is a coincidence. Someone’s definitely leaking info.”

Rebecca glanced at them, then looked away, refusing to give them another thought.

On the way to boarding, Sonja leaned in to talk to Bruce. “When we rode together yesterday, I tried again to convince Ms. Harper to come back. She’s dead set against it. She even snapped at me.”

Bruce’s eyes turned icy. “If she doesn’t want to come back, then leave her alone.”

“What about the non-compete?”

“We’ll sue her. As planned.”

Sonja’s lips curled into a sly smile. “Alright.”

She shot Rebecca a look from across the lounge. If you won’t be on my side, then I’ll have to destroy you for anyone else.

By the time their plane landed in Coralbridge, the sky was already dark. Rebecca and Cindy went their separate ways, each catching a ride home.

When Rebecca walked in, Samantha was just coming out of the kitchen, apron still on, smiling. “Perfect timing. I just finished dinner and you’re home.”

Rebecca grinned and wrapped her arms around her mom, acting like a little kid. “I’ve got a sixth sense for good food.”

Samantha laughed, patting her head. “Aren’t you a bit old for this?”
