The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning (Madelyn) novel Chapter 1055

Chapter 1055 

Confused, Blake opened her work email. A notification about permanent positions caught her attention. Only three staff members were mentioned, one each from the Creative Design and Marketing Departments and Blake. 

Blake blinked in disbelief. She thought, ‘My name is on the list!’ 

In the background, the secretary’s office buzzed with chatter. 

“It’s okay, Susan. There’s always next month,” one voice soothed. 

“Exactly! It’s those with connections who get ahead. Us regular folks just can’t compete,” another added 

bitterly. 

“I can’t believe how shameless some people can be.” 

Blake tried to ignore them, but their words were too loud, too pointed. 

The group was consoling Susan, painting.her as a victim. 

Frustrated, Blake slammed her desk and stood, “Enough! If you have something to say about me, say it to 

my face. I’m not putting up with this!” 

Tears streaked Susan’s face as she turned to Blake, slapping her across the face. 

Susan said angrily, “You don’t deserve this, Blake. You’re not even in my league, professionally or educationally. You’re just cozying up to Mrs. Jardin. What else did you do? Climbing into bed with Mr. Harrison for a promotion? How desperate can you get?” 

Blake’s cheek stung from Susan’s slap, but she did not hesitate to slap back. 

Blake retorted, “I don’t need this job. If it means so much to you, go talk to Mr. Harrison. Stop acting like a 

child.” 

“Y-you hit me! How dare you! Even my mom never hits me! I’ll kill you, Blake!” Susan yelled. Her face was red from the slap. She lunged at Blake, her nails leaving red marks on Blake’s neck. 

Blake, who had training in Taekwondo, did not hold back. She landed a punch that sent Susan reeling,” 

You asked for it!” 

Blake removed her work badge, not wanting to be held responsible for any damage. 

Despite Susan’s relentless attacks, Blake stood her ground, matching each blow with her own.
