Chapter 258
I didn't want to say it, but her arrogance really pissed me off.
She was so full of herself.
"What did you say?" She suddenly stood up.
Lily slapped me, and my left cheek stung.
But my heart hurt more.
"John, you've gone too far. Apologize to Eloise!"
I felt ridiculous.
I looked at Lily, who avoided my gaze.
Lily said coldly, "Eloise is my best friend. She wouldn't harm me, and she's not like you described."
I laughed, "If she won't harm you, neither will I."
Eloise looked satisfied. "I don't want his apology!"
I stood up. "Good, I wasn't planning to apologize anyway!"
"Lily, you should leave a guy like him!" Eloise said.
"John, why are you making this hard for me?" Lily asked.
I shook my head with a smile. "Soon, you won't be in a tough spot anymore."
"What do you mean?" She seemed to guess, looking anxious.
I grabbed my suit. "I'm from a humble background, not worthy of you. Let's end this. I won't stop you from finding someone else."
With that, I left.
"John, stop right there!" Lily's voice called from behind.
I was resolute. Lily and I always argued and couldn't get along.
Eloise was just a catalyst. When Lily hit me, I realized our differences.
I wasn't angry. That slap woke me up.
In the elevator, Lily sent me many messages.
Lily: [John, where are you going?]
Lily: [John, I was wrong. Please listen to my explanation!]
Lily: [John, can you wait for me by my car?]
Lily: [John...]
I felt humiliated. I wanted to break up.
I replied, [No need, let's break up. I wish you a happy life!]
Then, I took a taxi back to my place.
After a shower, I went to bed.
The next day, I woke up to many messages.
Lily had sent the most, all apologies and promises to explain in person.
I didn't read them carefully and just closed the app.
On my other account, she also sent many messages.
[Mighty Tiger, calling Mighty Tiger.]
[Mighty Tiger, I messed up yesterday, and he broke up with me. Now he's ignoring me.]
She summarized what happened, saying, [Even though Eloise is my best friend and her words were harsh, he should be more understanding.]
[I hit John yesterday because he didn't cooperate with me.]
These messages disappointed me. Why should I obey her in everything?
[Can you help me teach John a lesson?]
After some thought, I replied: [I messaged him last night, but he didn't reply. You should cherish him.]
I closed the conversation. Surprisingly, Eloise also messaged me: [Mighty Tiger, are you there? I have a question for you.]
I glanced at the message, sent late last night.
I replied: [If I don't reply later, just send the question directly, and I'll respond when I see it.]
Suddenly, I felt a desire for revenge.
I had been bullied for a year, and now I finally had my chance. It was all because of Eloise that I was so upset.
'It's all your fault for looking down on me. I'm done pretending,' I thought.
I checked the time and drove out in a luxury car.
Around eight, I pulled into the underground parking lot. Coincidentally, many colleagues from the company were there, including Lily!
I parked next to Lily's car. When she got out, I did too.
She glanced my way, surprised to see me. She hurried over. "John!"
I ignored her and walked over to Paul. He noticed me. "Wow, is this Ms. Bailey's new car?"
I smiled without explaining. He said, "How does it feel to drive a luxury car? It must be amazing. I'd be thrilled to drive one."
I said, "It's simple, be a driver or a parking attendant, and you can fulfill your wish immediately."
A few colleagues nearby laughed, envy in their eyes.
With many people around, Lily didn't approach me.
In the elevator, I went to the corner. She squeezed in and stood in front of me, looking tired, her makeup unable to hide the dark circles under her eyes.
While I chatted with Paul, she quietly tugged at my clothes, her eyes full of grievance and pleading.
I calmly moved her hand away and switched places with Paul.
Paul chuckled awkwardly, not sensing the tension between us, thinking I just didn't want to face Lily.
In the marketing department, Mia's desk was already cleared. Paul sighed, "Mia actually resigned. It's sad."
Paul asked, "Did she have any issues, leaving so suddenly?"
I said, "I don't know, maybe she found another job."
With Mia gone, Lily was panicking. A capable employee on her team resigned right after she returned from a business trip.
She went into Jenny's office and came out looking dejected.
On Fridays, we usually had a weekly summary, still hosted by Jenny.
Nicole, standing beside her, looked very worried.
She had thought about it all night but didn't send me a photo.
After some thought, I sent her an email.
She discreetly checked her phone, looking flustered, then scanned the crowd.
She went to Jenny and whispered something, then left in her high heels.
I messaged again: [Why did you leave?]
Nicole: [Who are you exactly? I know you're in the marketing department!]
Me: [How did your day of consideration go?]
Nicole: [I haven't decided yet!]
Me: [Really? Well, sorry, I've run out of patience.]
Nicole: [Wait, I've made up my mind, please don't share the video with anyone!]
She replied: [I'll send it to you now.]
Shortly after, I received the photo she sent. It was sexy, but just her in a bikini on the beach.
I snorted. [Are you kidding me? I don't need these photos, I have plenty.]
Nicole: [What kind of photo do you want then?]
Me: [I want explicit, provocative photos.]
Nicole: [But I don't have any!]
Me: [I don't care. If you don't have any, take them now!]
Nicole: [No, I can't take them now, I'll be caught!]
Me: [Then I don't care. If you don't take them within five minutes, our alliance is over for good.]
