They are way out of line!
Lucy was infuriated, and her eyes widened in anger.
However, she dared not retaliate against them alone. Clearly out of option, she could only take a death breath and
suppress her boiling rage. Feigning her confusion, she pursed her lips and smiled. “The wedding favors? I thought
Mr. Thompson is already married?”
“While it is true that Mr. Thompson is already married, no ceremony was held previously due to time constraints.
They only received their wedding certificate. Hence, it is apt that we continue what was left unfinished,” the middle-
aged woman answered scornfully while enjoying the expensive wedding favors.
Lucy, who did not have any self-awareness, was the type of person she hated the most.
She can only dream of marrying Mr. Thompson. She's not worthy of being with him! Of course, it's not illegal to be
fond of Mr. Thompson. There's a long line of women with similar feelings. However, none of them acted like her,
who publicly announced her affection. Those who felt the same generally kept it to themselves. This woman, on the
other hand...
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe middle-aged woman rolled her eyes. When Lucy first joined, she had taken great care of her. But now, she was
disgruntled by Lucy's behavior.
I must have been blind to take such great care of her!
Lucy noticed her revulsion, but she brushed it off.
She had found out that everyone in the group disliked her not long ago. She no longer had a place there.
At first, she could not bring herself to accept reality. However, as time passed, she gradually grew accustomed to it.
Instead of feeling troubled and affected by what others thought of her, she channeled her focus onto Shane's
wedding.
She refused to believe that Shane did not have the time to plan his wedding with Natalie. It was impossible that he
could not spare one or two days to do it.
If you love someone, organizing a wedding is essential. So that just means that Shane doesn't love Natalie that
much after all. Right, that must be the case!
Lucy gripped the box in her hands, her heart throbbing rapidly.
If he doesn't love her, then a divorce should be the best choice.
Lucy took a deep breath.
She decided to talk to Shane and get the matter sorted out. If he didn't love Natalie, then there was no point
proceeding with the wedding. They should get a divorce instead.
Lucy put down the box and left the main office of the janitorial department immediately.
Everyone in the office was stupefied.
“Where is she heading to?”
“Who knows? Perhaps she can't accept it and she's breaking down.”
“Or maybe she finally mustered the courage to confess to Mr. Thompson.”
“How is that possible?” Some were perplexed.
The moment she left, Lucy knew that the others would start talking about her behind her back. But she couldn't
care less. Swiftly, she sprinted toward the elevator.
The two bodyguards in front of the elevator noticed her and held out their hands. “What are you doing?”
It was only then that Lucy realized the elevator was guarded!
And the bodyguards were tall and buff.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe was baffled by the domineering presence of the bodyguards.
She clenched her fists tightly and took a deep breath. “I... I want to head upstairs.”
The bodyguard frowned. “You should use the common elevator. This elevator is reserved especially for Mr.
Thompson, and normal employees are prohibited from using it.”
Lucy knew very well that she did not have clearance to use the elevator.
However, this was the only elevator that could reach the highest floor of the building!
Nonetheless, she could not tell the truth to the bodyguards. If she were to do so, she would be chased away
immediately.
What should I do?
She wanted to head upstairs and tell Shane to pursue his happiness. He must not marry someone that he didn't
love!
But she couldn't do so!
Just as Lucy was panicking, she heard the clattering sound of high heels echoing through the hall.
Isabelle approached the three of them and took off her sunglasses. “I want to head up!” Almost immediately, the
two bodyguards withdrew their hands and allowed Isabelle to enter the elevator.
Isabelle was about to press the button on the elevator when Lucy clutched her hand. “Hold on, why is she allowed
to go upstairs?”
