You Wed Your Past I Wed My Future novel Chapter 12

Chapter 12

Stephanie could hear her colleagues’ questions and discussions echoing outside the pantry. She was momentarily surprised by Kiara’s actions, but she soon regained her composure.

She didn’t leave the pantry right away. Her expression remained calm as she poured herself a cup of juice. Then, she walked out of the pantry with the juice in hand.

All the colleagues in the Executive Office turned to look at Stephanie simultaneously. Then, they looked away at the same time. Still, they looked somewhat curious and inquisitive.

Just now, Kiara and Stephanie were the only ones inside the office pantry. Suddenly, Kiara shrieked at the top of her lungs before rushing out of the pantry with coffee staining her face.

One would definitely connect the dots of what happened in the pantry.

Kiara had just snatched the project that Stephanie had been in charge of for a long time, so it was perfectly natural for the latter to be mad at her. But it was quite ridiculous for her to splash coffee at Kiara in the company…

Stephanie didn’t see Kiara anywhere. That meant she was complaining to Tyler in his office right now.

That thought had just crossed her mind when she saw the office door being opened. The furious Tyler soon strode out of his office.

His anger intensified the moment he saw Stephanie. He stated icily, “My office. Now.”

“Oh, there’s no need to go to your office.” Stephanie took a few steps forward. “Let’s talk it out right in front of everyone, shall we?”

“Ms. Ford!” Tyler practically gritted Stephanie’s title through his gnashed teeth angrily.

He felt that Stephanie had crossed the line this time. How dare she splash coffee at Kiara!

In fact, he had intended to spare her pride by summoning her to his office so that they could sort things out there. And yet she refused to heed his order?

Kiara walked out of Tyler’s office at that moment. She dabbed her face with a wet wipe while saying in an aggrieved tone, “Ty… I mean, Mr. Grover, please don’t get mad at Ms. Ford. I don’t think she did it on purpose.

“Even though the coffee was scalding hot, I’m fine, aren’t I? It’s fine. Let’s just drop the case.”

“How dare she dump scalding hot coffee on your face!” Tyler gritted out in a low tone. His heart was already aching for Kiara as he looked at her.

Kiara kept her head bowed the whole time, though her lips were already curled into a secretive smile.

Her argument with Stephanie had gone on long enough for the coffee to cool down

considerably. That was why she dared to splash coffee onto her face earlier.

“Ms. Ford, regardless of your resentment, you should never have laid a finger on Kiki in the company!” Tyler’s voice boomed loudly. “I want you to apologize to her right now!”

Stephanie approached Tyler and Kiara silently.

A smug gleam appeared in Kiara’s eyes as she drank in Stephanie’s silent visage. She wanted the latter to see how much Tyler cared about her.

It was useless for Stephanie to argue or defend herself. There was no way Tyler would ever believe her.

But what Kiara didn’t expect was that Stephanie didn’t bother to go down that route. Instead, she lifted her hand and splashed the juice all over Kiara’s face.

This time, Kiara was left feeling flabbergasted. Everyone else in the Executive Office was shell- shocked as well. Even Tyler looked stunned.

When Stephanie splashed the juice at Kiara, she didn’t hold back at all. Since Tyler stood next to Kiara, some of the juice got to him as well.

A while later, Kiara finally shrieked at the top of her lungs… again.

“Stephanie Ford, you’re crazy!”

“Stephanie!” Tyler admonished furiously. “Don’t push your luck!”

But Stephanie just cast Tyler a glance before turning her attention back on Kiara. She said coldly, “Didn’t you claim that I splashed coffee onto your face? Since you insist on framing me, I might as well make it a reality.”

“What do you mean I framed you-

Kiara kept trembling violently the whole time. She was on the verge of losing her mind.

When she had dumped the coffee onto herself earlier, she made sure to hold back on the splashing. But Stephanie didn’t do the same thing.

Now, she had juice seeping through her hair and dripping down her face. She didn’t even have to look in a mirror to know how wretched she looked at the moment.

“That’s enough!”

With a stormy expression, Tyler grabbed Stephanie by the wrist. “Come with me!”

After that, he forcibly dragged Stephanie into his office. Kiara quickly followed suit, her head now bowed once again.

The office door slammed shut afterward. Finally, the employees in the Executive Office broke out in chatter.

“What on earth is going on?”

“Ms. Ford really is bold for splashing juice at Ms. Grover right in front of Mr. Grover!”

“So what exactly happened in the pantry? Did Ms. Ford really splash coffee at Ms. Grover?”

“Based on what Ms. Ford just said, I think Ms. Grover framed her…”

“Shh! Keep it down!”

Meanwhile, the atmosphere in Tyler’s office was tense.

Tyler sat on the couch. His gaze was so thunderous that he looked like he was about to skin Stephanie alive. But she looked him in the eye fearlessly. As for Kiara, she kept sobbing quietly.

A long time later, Tyler finally spoke up.

“Go get yourself cleaned up in the bathroom,” he said to Kiara.

There was a lounge in Tyler’s office that came with a small bathroom. Kiara glanced at Stephanie before walking into the lounge.

“Steph, you’ve seriously—”

“Mr. Grover,” Stephanie cut him off. “We’re in the company right now. It’s best if you address me as Ms. Ford.”

Her words pissed Tyler off even more. “What the hell do you want? I told you, Kiki is our younger sister! Can’t you just let her have her way regardless of what it is?

“You used to be very sensible and thoughtful. Why are you acting like this?”
