Winner Takes All novel Chapter 5

The moment Shirley received Jack’s message, she immediately requested for leave from her manager to prepare for the date.

It bonds with her future, as well as the manager’s. The manager even leveraged his position to retrieve Jack’s contact number from the discreet information on the bank card.

Just as she left the bank heavily, she bumped into Tommy’s car.

However, Tommy was not aware of what was gonna happen as he asked with a smile, “Baby, you knocked off early today?”

“Tommy?”

Shirley was flurried when she recalled her date with Tommy tonight, “Right. I felt bad, so I took a leave.”

“Ha Ha… That’s great. We can find somewhere to chill,” Tommy said excitedly.

Shirley couldn’t help frowning. ‘Could’t he understand me? I am gonna get toyed tonight.’

She swallowed her anger as she replied, “I am not feeling well now. We date next time.”

Tommy froze for a moment as he said, “But you have already promised me to have a date tonight! At least we have a dinner.”

Shirley could feel her eyeballs throbbed as she thought about how useless Tommy was.

But she had to stand it because she needed him, and more importantly, a house in the city. Even if she hooked up with the bank manager, she was very sure that the manager wouldn’t just abandon his own family for her sake.

She wanted Tommy to support her; otherwise she would have kicked him hard in his nuts.

After taking a deep breath, Shirley squeezed a smile while slightly pinching Tommy’s cheeks, “That’s enough, darling. I need a break tonight. Didn’t you just see me getting off work way earlier because I’m feeling unwell? We can date after I get well.”

“Alright,” Tommy felt frustrated.

Tommy wanted to drive Shirley home, but she rejected. She stalked out of the car and get in a taxi with anger.

The bank manager coincidentally saw this scene, and he couldn’t help letting out a chuckle. He muttered under his breath, “Fool.”

After getting in the taxi, Shirley bit her bloody red lips while sobbing and trembling.

She scratched her hair hard while staring outside the window with blurry eyes.

If she wasn’t so impulsive today, things wouldn’t be worsened like this.

She didn’t mind getting pursued by a rich man at all. In fact, she would gladly throw herself into his arms like a butterfly fawning towards the flowers. This was precisely what she had wanted, or else she wouldn’t become the manager’s secret mistress of lust.

However, things had changed.

When she thought of what’s gonna happen, she felt strongly humiliated.

She could no longer hold her head high while flaunting her beauty and charisma. Now she had to be humble with remorseless squeezes…

Jack rented a small apartment with two bedrooms near LJ Hospital to take care of his mother before moving into a new house.
