When did I lie to her? Was she referring to my pregnancy? I grabbed her hand and said in an indifferent tone, "Olivia, you should at least have a minimum amount of conscience. How could you be so cheeky? Don’t forget you are just a mistress."
"You..." She wanted to say something, but I heard someone hurry to the office. Olivia shook off my hand, and she hit her head hard onto the desk deliberately before I could react.
When Dennis and Marcus hurried in, they saw Olivia lying on the ground, with blood on her forehead. And I, stood intact in front of her. Olivia was so good at pretending.
"Olivia, are you all right?" Marcus helped Olivia up and said angrily, "Clara, don't go too far."
Was it me who have gone too far? I didn’t bother to care about Marcus and looked at Dennis, "I didn't push her, do you believe me?"
Dennis’s expression was cold, he saw the blood on Olivia's forehead, and he said in an even colder tone, "Clara, you are going too far!"
His words poured cold water on my trust, I forced a smile and said, "I was so naïve."
I was blinded by the tenderness of him these days, and really thought he was the one. I was ridiculous!
I walked to Olivia suppressing my anger and said in disgust, "Remember to be more realistic when you play tricks next time, how could a pregnant woman push you that far?"
"You……"
"Pow!" I slapped her before she could refute, and I slapped her so hard that my hand hurt, she covered her face, and I smiled, "This is for you. You should know how to appreciate my kindness."
I was not in the mood to stay in the office any longer due to this messy situation. So, I left the office in a cold expression, but I was grabbed by Dennis, I withdrew my hand and said, "Save it for your babe."
I went straight to the YT Apartment after leaving the office. Diana was probably resting now, so I went to the supermarket. I was not at home these days, and the things I bought were useless, I decided to go shopping to kill time since I was free.
I was surprised when I met Luis. He was being pestered by a young hot girl, it seemed that he was in a debt of love. I was in a bad mood, so I stood there being a looker-on. But I didn't expect that Luis would see me, he ran to me and said helplessly, "Help me!"
He said to the hot girl who followed before I could react, "Lily, this is the girl I have been telling you all the time, I have been carrying a torch for her for almost ten years, and I feel nothing for you. You should stop following me."
The girl’s eyes were red because of Luis’s rejection, and she looked helpless, "You like her, but she may not like you, she should be married at her age, what do you like her about?"
Did I look old?
