The Stolen Life- My Mother Gave My Fiancé to Her Favorite Student novel Chapter 130

A short silence fell on the other end. Even Chandler Mayer, known in tech circles as the Ice Cold Tycoon. could barely hide his excitement.

“Maya, you won’t regret this. I’ll make sure this decision becomes the best you’ve ever made The East Pacific Group is holding a bidding session tomorrow. With your technical expertise, we’ve got this in the bag!”

I’d barely agreed when the phone was suddenly snatched from my hand.

I turned and stared into the icy eyes of Thomas. Behind him stood a crowd of employees, watching with obvious satisfaction.

He ended the call without even glancing at the screen, his voice cold.

“It’s just a bouquet. As tech lead, are you really going to throw a fit over this in admin? People will think Josie wronged you. How does that make her look?”

A bitter smile tugged at my lips.

“Side chicks really have no shame, huh? The boss avoids you to keep things proper, and you still cling to him.”

Trembling with rage, I stared coldly at the man I’d been married to for seven years.

“I am also a female employee of this company. What’s wrong with claiming a benefit I’m entitled to?”

At the sight of my tear–reddened eyes, a flicker of emotion finally crossed Thomas’s face. He sighed softly.

“If you really want…”

Josie suddenly appeared, holding her giant bouquet, eyes glistening with tears as she cut him off.
