Chapter 7
A strange sense of sham e flowed through me, after spending so many years as this woman’s
“substitute”.
Tara walked up and smiled gently. “You’re an assistant in the CEO’s office, right? Was it Taya?”
I tried to calm my pounding heart, lowered my head, and nodded. “Yes, that’s right, Ms. Thorin.”
“Nice to meet you, Taya.” Tara looked at the time on her watch. “I’m going to hold a board meeting in
half an hour. Can you make me a coffee and bring it to my office? I need a little pick-me-up.”
I was a little hesitant. Griffon was still there, after all. But I hadn’t resigned yet, so I had to do whatever
Tara asked.
I had no choice but to nod, thinking I would ask Brielle to bring the coffee in my place.

wolf.
Her self-assurance and brilliance were a stark contrast to me.
I was a counterfeit Tara.
Useless, something to be discarded once the real thing was

However, they had already been called upon to perform other tasks, so I had to deliver it myself.
Timidly, I knocked on the office door.
“Come in, please.” Tara’s gentle voice came from inside.
After taking a deep breath, I summoned the courage to enter.
When I opened the door, I saw Tara sitting on Griffon’s lap.
Although I was me ntally prepared to see Griffon, I hadn’t expected this sight. My hands trembled, and I
struggled not to spill the coffee all over the floor.
Afraid that the two of them would notice my discomfort, I quickly lowered my eyes and pretended
nothing was wrong.
“Ms. Thorin, here is your coffee.”
“Just leave it here, thank you.”

The way Tara sat so comfortably in his lap… It reminded me of how Griffon would pull me into his lap
the same way, how he would position me like that when we would have se x.
Although Griffon and Tara weren’t d oing anything explicit, my mind was flooded with images of them
together before, moaning and grinding and making love to each other. I imagined Griffon’s hands
touching Tara’s body while she sat in his lap, the same way Griffon had touched me first.
No… that wasn’t correct. It wasn’t me that Griffon touched first. He had definitely made love to Tara in
that position, and so many more, long before I ever came along.
Because I was just his replacement lover.
