As the guards approached, I stood up. “I can walk on my own.”
At the door, I turned to look at Jeremy. “How the company grew, how we secured one order after another, it seems you’ve truly forgotten.”
He glanced at the guards, who closed in on me. I saw the hint of guilt in Jeremy’s eyes earlier. He hadn’t forgotten, but was just denying everything I’d done because of Irene.
I stared at him coldly. “I hear the company is hosting a banquet for major partners tomorrow. Is this to promote Irene?”
Jeremy’s face turned colder. “You’d better not cause trouble. You’ll only make yourself look bad.”
I replied coldly, “I’ll see who ends up looking bad.”
Irene said provocatively, “Lily Marvelli, Mr. Chastan tolerated you, but I won’t. If you dare show up tomorrow, I’ll definitely deal with you. I doubt you have the nerve.”
Do you doubt I will? I didn’t say anything. Yesterday, when I called Jeremy and asked him to make the choice, I became a fool. Today, when I came to the company for the board meeting, I became a fool again.
Once, twice, but not a third time. Both times, I became the fool because Jeremy held all the cards. Tomorrow won’t be the same.
