Did this woman have no other tricks besides this one? Did she not feel tired using the same trick every time?
Even so, someone would always fall for her tricks.
Take, for example, Zedd. He ran over and flipped me over, roaring, "What are you doing, Wanda Lane? Are you trying to kill her? Why are you such a vicious woman?"
He turned around after saying those words, picking Cindy up and coaxing her, "Are you hurt, Cindy?"
Cindy shook her head weakly and said softly, "I was just trying to say a few words to Wanda but didn't expect her to suddenly push me to the ground..."
The employees watching the fun had long disappeared without a trace.
I rubbed my elbow and slowly stood up. In order to protect the baby, I hit my elbow on the ground quite hard during the fall earlier.
Not far away, Theo's entire body seemed to be encased in ice.
He stood there without a word. I looked at him and said, "You think I tried to harm her too?"
He looked at me, his dark pupils a little sinister. He
said in a deep voice, "You're at the company. It's inappropriate for you to make a scene here."
His voice might be soft, but it was tantamount to pouring a basin of cold water down my head.
All of a sudden, my body chilled from head to toe, all the way to my bones. I looked at him, and after a very long time, I gathered the strength to smile and said softly, "I was wrong."
I was so wrong for being temporarily blinded by gentleness; I was wrong for thinking that he had changed; I was wrong for thinking that he would believe in me; I was wrong for overestimating my position in his heart.
It was all my fault. I deserved it. I asked for it.
Cindy lowered her head with an aggrieved look on her face. I was disgusted by the sight and went up to return the slap earlier with an even louder one. I said coldly, "This is how you make a performance look more realistic. Let me know if you want to put on a show again next time, I'll definitely cooperate."
I exhausted all my strength in the slap that my palm was burning in pain.
Cindy staggered and nearly fell to the ground. Zedd quickly supported her.
