"Son, I gave your wife a card earlier as a meeting gift, but she took it, said a lot of strange things, and ran off. I couldn't catch up with her."
As soon as the voice message on his phone ended, an awkward silence filled the air.
Richard calmly pocketed his phone and pinched my cheek. "Miss Nina, you shouldn't take money without doing your part, you know that, right?"
I was dumbfounded! How did things turn out like this?
"Um..." I tried to speak, my voice weak. "Here's the card back. Can we still break up?"
But before he could answer, Richard's stomach growled.
I had witnessed the most embarrassing moment in a CEO's life. No more questions needed, I ran upstairs immediately!
"I'm going to take a shower. I'll make something for you to eat later!" I shouted as I dashed away, trying to save his dignity.
I leaned against the door, gasping for air. I'd done too much to protect the CEO's perfect image.
I wiped the sweat from my forehead and went to the closet for clothes.
As soon as I opened it, I was shocked—it was completely empty!
Seriously? All I did was throw a dress in a fit of passion yesterday.
Why was everything gone?
