I waited for her for so long that I was starving. I then opened my mobile phone and saw Marco’s social media.
Hearing those words, both of them were stunned.
“Also, today, I suddenly remembered that you had ordered a supercar, so I picked it up and gave it to him.”
That night, I brought all the top-of-the-line sports cars that I had collected in my garage to her.
I frowned and responded calmly, “Let go, it’s so dirty.”
There were comments below.
At that moment, all my expectations were dashed.
Her eyes were a bit red and her gaze was full of charm.
I squinted as I walked into the villa in a cold voice.
Let her pick and send it away.
“But you have to know, as an assistant, what you should and shouldn’t accept.”
Just overnight, he changed the way he called his boss from “Ms. Louisa” being “Louisa”.
What questions are asked in a JP Morgan Hirevue interview?
I laid in my bed and stayed up the whole night.
She was stunned for a moment, her lips slightly parted, with an incredulous expression.
I put my hands in my pockets, curled the corners of my mouth and a hint of coldness and anger flashed in my eyes.

Louisa, took my underwear and gave it to his assistant?
Everyone was in an uproar, expressing shock hearing this news.
“My words were harsh, but you should know that Marco is the man in the company who can help me share the workload the most. You made him lose face in public today and I can’t just abandon him now.”
Should women be allowed in “combat roles” within the military?
The guilt I felt for impulsively agreeing to the blind date last night completely disappeared.
“Am I strange?”
Louisa then pulled me all the way into the bathroom.
There was no point to keep a woman who had left my heart.
I bent down and opened the bottom cabinet.
When the salesperson sent me a message in the afternoon, I thought Louisa was trying to give me a surprise secretly, so I spent three hours happily in the dressing room choosing an outfit.
Why is my elder sister so mean?
We had been in relationship for nine years and this was the first time I had gotten so angry over another man.
“It’s my fault, Mr. Gilmore. I shouldn’t have accepted Ms. Watson’s gift.”
I did not have any emotions more, I just smiled indifferently and returned the phone to my assistant.

When we were in love, she once whispered in my ear that she would only love me and only me in her life.
“Am I thinking of myself?”
I had loved her for so many years, what storms had I not seen.
At first, I suspected that Marco took the photos secretly behind Louisa out of vanity.
I nodded and responded, “Next week, I’ll transfer the management rights of the company to you and leave.”
Nine years of giving everything for a girl, but in the end, she still did not appreciate it.

I pulled the corners of my mouth and smiled.
Having been in society for so many years, everyone had gained some insight.
My head exploded with a loud bang.
Haha … I sounded like a stingy person from his words.
Just as I was trying to calm my emotions and go downstairs, she pushed open the bathroom door with the flip-flop sound of her slippers.
Spending their time together watching the sunset on the beach after chatting with their bussiness partner.
I was too lazy to argue with her, so I just opened X and showed her Marco’s X account.
At one o’clock in the afternoon, I finished dealing with all the documents, but there was no sign of Louisa.
“Lionel, sorry, I didn’t get back from meeting with my business partners at noon. I just had a quick bite outside. Have you eaten yet?”
Louisa stepped in front of him and pulled my sleeve.
“The blind date with the eldest daughter of the Scotts, I’ll go.”
“Alright, Lionel, doesn’t he have to pick me up and drop me off every day for work?”
It seemed like the superior-subordinate relationship between them was closer than I imagined.
Thank you for joining me, and I can’t wait to see you in the next chapter!
Louisa held my hand and said in a deep voice, “Lionel, why are you so angry?”
I got in the car and headed to the airport.
At three o’clock in the afternoon, Louisa pushed the door to my office and stepped in with her high heels.
I fixed my gaze full of pressure on him.
I was furious instantly and lost my sanity.
I did not need to be too concerned.
She really took the car that I had been longing for half a year away from the automotive dealership secretly and gave it to someone else.
Since we wanted to sever ties, we naturally had to settle everything.
The breakfast box she brought in the bag was my least favorite lamb sandwich.
“Are you used to driving?”
Louisa who was wearing a white suit and holding a white crocodile leather bag, stepped out of the car.
I picked up the documents she brought back and gave a faint response. “Hmm.”
After all, there was no evidence that they were having an affair.
[Congratulations for becoming a boyfriend and becoming a regular employee officially.]
Marco’s eyes slightly lifted and his cold face turned slightly pale.
“Mr. Gilmore is already busy with work, so it’s better not to trouble him with these small matters.”
“No, I do.”
It was time to end this tangled triangle relationship.
He uttered a dull response. “Hmm”.
She also wanted me to defend him with her despite feeling disgusted.
“Mr. Gilmore, good evening. Ms. Watson and I just had dinner outside and came back a bit late. Please don’t blame her.”
In the evening, I stood on the balcony of the villa and gazed the sunset.
My assistant suddenly pushed the door and casually said, “Sir, I saw Ms. Louisa and her assistant went to eat seafood. What do you want to eat? I’ll order it for you.”
Whatever Louisa wanted to do, I accompanied her.
Did she know what it meant to give a man underwear as a gift?
She frowned and pouted.
He joked that I should have changed a long time ago.
My raging anger suddenly died down and what followed was endless coldness and disappointment.
“You’re the boss, Lionel, this is a matter of words.”
She defended him.
I lit a cigarette and blew a puff into the air.
As a man, he should know why I was angry.
“With so many supercars you have, you don’t mind, do you?”
Then, her tone was both coaxing and scolding, brought me back to my senses. “I know you are jealous because you love me, but the others who don’t know will think you’re targeting someone else’s staff.”
— —
Marco pursed his lips and said no words.
I just wanted my favorite supercar back.
Jealousy over a slightly more good-looking male assistant was truly a fall from grace.
In the past five years, I had transformed from a rich second-generation who knew nothing to a first-generation entrepreneur.
I turned my gaze away from the door and let out a long sigh.
“Louisa, do you want to hear what you’re saying right now?”
I felt a chill in my heart and blurted out. “Go ahead.”
She took a deep breath and said, her eyes filled with disapproval of me, “You took back the gift I gave him in public and now you’re letting him waste so much time at the dealer.”
“This is an irrefutable evidence. Do you want me to expose all the dirty things you have done?”
Love did not become a burden when two people’s hearts were truly together.
“I’ve been waiting for this car for almost half a year and no one can take it away, not even you, my girlfriend.”
I, who felt heartbroken at first, became numb in the end.
Leaving me only the refreshing fragrance of gardenia that dissipated into the air.
A message from Louisa popped up on my mobile phone.
Louisa was stunned and frowned.
“Lionel, Marco has returned the car to the dealer, but I need to go over to cancel the account.”
My father even agreed to a blind date with the Scott Family on my behalf overnight.
In a flash, I remembered the X post Marco posted two days ago.
Louisa became anxious. She frowned and said in defense, “How can this be a small matter? You follow me on business trips every day and I don’t want others to criticize you everywhere.”
Faced with his provocation, my gaze turned a bit cold and I found it somewhat funny.
Louisa, after nine years of our relationship, did you have any feelings for me?
A nice and friendly reminder to board the plane sounded at the airport.
“Marco Tucker, right? It’s just a car. I can still afford it.”
But in the cabinet, a box of men’s underwear was missing.
A relationship that had changed in quality was like an unappetizing breakfast. There was no need to force ourself to eat it.
She raised her hand and slammed the table angrily, saying harshly, “We can handle it ourselves. We don’t need you.”
“Got it! Marco and I have nothing, not now and not in the future.”
In the past, I admired her rational and clear nature the most.
In what capacity was he asking me not to blame my girlfriend?
Not only did he dare to accept it, he also dared to post it openly on his X post and another social media to show off.
“You can prepare dinner yourself.”
The perfume in her hand was more of a brand I had long since disliked.
Marco Tucker walked around the car to the passenger seat and opened the passenger door gently and considerately.
Until my assistant nervously handed me Marco’s X account and said, “Sir, I think I should let you know about this.”
In his latest X post, he posted a picture of Louisa lying in his arms and sleeping soundly.
Seeing her smile and express her emotions towards him.
I suddenly felt ridiculous.
I did not even glance at them, just brushed past them.
Now everything had changed.
An hour later, her male assistant drove the car and posted a message on his social media.
[Having a boss who cares for her subordinates is my happiness.]
I had Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, so everything had to be neatly laid out.
I saw them exchanging a few words with each other and Louisa smiled particularly happily.
He looked up, a hint of surprise appearing in his eyes.
A pair of gleaming silver stiletto heels stepped on the ground.
I stared at it for a long time.
“It’s my fault, Mr. Gilmore. Please don’t blame Ms. Louisa.”
She reacted, quickly stopped me and angrily said to Marco behind her, “What the hell is going on! When did I lie down with you?!”
“You dare to give a supercar worth two million seven hundred dollars to the man who adores you, Louisa ….”

As soon as I arrived, the airport lobby was crowded with people.
I was stunned for a moment and frowned. “Where did you see them?”
Louisa did not expect me to speak so bluntly and her face suddenly turned ugly.
I had money, good looks and a good figure, so why should I waste my time on someone who did not love me!
She had some impatience on her face, but she still held back her patience to explain to me.
“I can’t help it. This is the girls nowadays.”
“If I want to have a future with you, I have to get stronger. Of course, you can act childish and ask me not to go today, but I don’t want to disappoint my subordinates who fight side by side with me.”
The girl’s cold face showed some dissatisfaction.
I walked out and stood in front of the girl.
A majestic roar came from afar and a limited-edition supercar with black and gold paint appeared in front of the villa.
A supercar worth nearly two million seven hundred dollars was not something that a marketing director with no background like Louisa could afford.
Seeing that I had given in, she pushed the door open and left without any hesitation.
She did not let my hand go, instead she patiently said, “I know you’re angry, I apologize to you, okay? But Marco and I really have nothing, you’re sold your shares and broke up ….”
“First of all, a person of integrity has nothing to fear. If you, Louisa, are doing your job impartially, rewarding him for bringing huge profits to the company and giving him a supercar is understandable.”
[Finally, from crush to girlfriend ….]
It turned out that all this time she always felt that we were not a good match.
This clothing company was co founded by me and Louisa. She and I both hold half of the equity.
The atmosphere was silent.
My face turned cold and so did my heart.
“Lionel, I don’t know how the news about the sports car spread in the company. The staffs are all talking about Marco behind his back. Can you come and help Marco explain it for the sake of signing big orders today?”
I leaned back in the recliner and sneered.
Her voice came from outside the door. “Oh, by the way, Rosie said that your underwear needs to be replaced, so she threw them all away. You can get new ones from the bottom.”
I took out my mobile phone and called my father who was far away in Brimstone.
Wasn’t it normal for people to criticize a boss who gave his or her assistant a luxury car?
Rosie paid extra attention to this and checked it carefully every day.
She pulled out a chair in front of the table and sat down, sighing.
I ignored her shock, put away my mobile phone and walked past her.
Now, he even called her “Louisa”.
I was already angry and hearing these words only added fuel to the fire.
On the contrary, Marco posted photos related to Louisa every day.
“Speak! Marco!”
No.
I saw admiration and heartache for another man in her eyes.
The way he called her changed to be more intimate.
Shouldn’t we have anticipated such a result?
Marco reacted earlier than Louisa.
“I’ll cancel and return it to the dealer as soon as possible.”
“I feel strange with you like this.”
“You have a prominent family background, Lionel, unlike ordinary people like me.”
With an annual revenue of nearly 10 billion, she said we were not a match.
Before getting off work, I received two business trip applications for two people and clicked “agree”.
If he dared to accept it, he should be able to guess who the original owner of the car was.
As early as yesterday, I had entrusted someone to send her a breakup message.
And that’s where we’ll leave the story for now. The journey ahead is full of twists, turns, and unforgettable moments you won’t want to miss.
At night, my best friend, Reymond Blunt called me to drink.
I took a sip of my mojito without saying a word.
“It’s too late now. It’s not safe to go out. You can go tomorrow.”
[Wow, after reading your secret stories on your crush for four years, you finally got her love!]
However, I did not want to leave Louisa, so I stayed in Araya.
At three o’clock in the afternoon, I walked into the largest conference room of the company with Reymond on time.
I handed the breakfast to my assistant and asked him to go out and sell me another one.
A side photo taken from the perspective of the girlfriend sitting in the passenger seat.
As a cold and aloof beauty, men pursue her and compete to get her.
Until I saw a post on X.
Marco was the partner who could stand shoulder to shoulder with her.
[Driving the car given by my boss to send her home and even the wind was sweet.]
But I did not expect, Louisa brought me breakfast on the table with the sticky note on the bag.
“Rosie is taking a day off today. You take a shower first and I’ll go fry you a steak,” she said.
She knew that I loved cars as much as my life, yet she dared to steal it and give it away to someone else.
The next day, I came to the company with hungry stomach from the night.
She grabbed her assistant’s hand, pushed the office door and left without looking back.
She and Marco would go back to the company to work overtime tonight and would not go home.
She was standing in the crowd, looking at me from afar.
But now everything had changed.
He bowed to me, his voice pleading. “I’m sorry, Mr. Gilmore. I didn’t think carefully about this matter. I will solve it myself. Don’t blame Louisa.”
My hand, which was about to sign, paused and I raised my eyes.
“Notify everyone that there will be a staff meeting this afternoon.” I ordered.
Even though the gift she gave was to serve herself.
I spent the next whole week busy with the transfer.
Getting up early and having breakfast together in the hotel.
She said the sports car had been cancelled and sent back to the automotive dealership.
Targeting? He was not worthy.
“Well, my Baby, here … I bought you a new limited-edition perfume, so don’t be angry.”
Forget it, it was better for the person who did not belong to me to leave.
“As the marketing director, you have a keen eye, so you shouldn’t miss it.”
Seeing I stopped talking, she sighed.
She took out a bottle of perfume from her eight-digit Hermes bag and smiled dotingly.
My assistant shook the mobile phone in his hand with a look of surprise.
“You took the car without my consent. I just wanted to take back what belonged to me.”
“The way he looks at you is not the way an ordinary subordinate looks at his superior.”
“Lionel, you can’t just think about yourself.”
A series of notifications popped up on my phone and it was an X post that Marco had just posted.
His slender fingers gripped the steering wheel and the corners of his mouth curved in just the right angle.
I nodded and looked at her leaving back, then opened the cabinet where my underwear was stored.
“Didn’t you give him the car and he accepted it? What’s the point of having me, an outsider, wipe his ass?”
“Do you want me to use my authority to force the people below to shut their mouths up?”
“I would like to inform everyone that I will be stepping down as the general manager. The company will be fully handed over to Mr. Blunt and Mr. Vaughan beside me.”
“Louisa has been with me for nine years and has seen a lot of things. I don’t think a supercar is a big deal.”
Marco took two steps forward with his long legs and blocked me.
She also said that she liked my innate arrogance and rebelliousness the most.
“Don’t you like this car? It’s also for your sake that I canceled it early.”
I threw the document on the table, interrupting the two people who were staring at each other.
Only when we did not love could we make rational judgments.
I wanted to rush downstairs and question that girl right away.
No man could bear to see the girl he loved using his own money to buy gifts for other men.
After five years of ups and downs, we opened the largest clothing company in Araya.
I dragged my suitcase towards the security checkpoint and ran into Louisa and Marco who were rushing back.
Louisa and I had been dating since we were in college until now.
I stepped down from the stage and left the conference room.
It was her handwriting.
Five years ago, after graduating from university, my father asked me to return to Brimstone to inherit the family business.
“On X, her assistant posted a message thanking Ms. Louisa for treating him to a delicious meal.”
I was sure now.
Followed Marco behind her.
Since the argument that day, Louisa had blocked me on X and WhatsApp.
“But the fact is, the value of these orders is far less than that of a supercar.”
Ms. Louisa?
Marco took a step back, lost his composure and apologized several times.
“Can’t you go tomorrow? Why do you have to go out so late?” asked me in annoyance.
Although I did not want to admit it, I was now so jealous that I was insane.
“I still have over a dozen supercars in my basement. Choose any one you want and consider it as a gift from me.”
I looked at her deeply and believed her pledge of allegiance for the time being.
In his post, there was a box of underwear of this brand.
She said I was her life.
Marco behind her spoke up, “It’s okay, Mr. Gilmore, a few rumors can’t hurt me.”
Louisa stepped on her high heels to protect the man behind her and hugged my waist.
“She just feels too tired being with you. No matter how hard she tries, she can’t earn even one-tenth of your family’s money and she can’t spend your money with peace of mind.”
“When is your blind date with the Scott Family arranged? Have you really decided to leave Araya?”
I got it.
I frowned.
Louisa Watson, who was showing off her affection to me on X a second ago, quietly took away the limited-edition sports car that I had reserved for a long time in the automotive dealership.
I was really reluctant to leave everything behind and return to Brimstone now.
“I haven’t said anything yet, but you’re eager to put the blame on me.”
But she refused decisively and stayed by my side wholeheartedly.
And staying up the whole night working on a project together and drinking American coffee at 3 a.m.
The next day, the real estate agent came to register the sales information of the villa.
“This is your own problem. I shouldn’t have to put on a leadership role and help you solve it.”
“I don’t care if you misjudged his contribution to the company or you feel sorry for him for accompanying you on business trips and driving every day. The company has given him enough salary and if it’s not enough, he can ask for more, instead of you secretly using my supercar to compensate him.”
Her eyes were fixed on Marco, who opened the car door for her, with a hint of aggressiveness.
I stared at the perfume in her hand and recalled every moment of us for the past nine years.
[Marco and I go to meet some clients and have lunch together.]
It was obvious that it was not what she was prepared for me.
