Chapter 2

I pulled some strings to get Chloe that HR assistant job at a private company, mainly because I wanted her to have an easy life.

But lately, she’d been working late constantly, not getting home until almost ten every night. I hadn’t thought much of it, assuming she was genuinely busy, but now…

Something was up.

Something was definitely effing up.

Suppressing my anger, I replied, “What time do you finish? I’ll come pick you up.”

“Oh, it’s fine, babe. You know, it’s year-end, we’re super busy. I have no idea when I’ll be done.”

I immediately changed, grabbed my keys, and drove straight to Chloe’s office.

The lights were still on. Standing at the entrance, I could faintly hear voices from inside.

Was she really working overtime?

I didn’t rush in. I pulled out my phone and called Chloe.

“I don’t like you coming home alone. I’ll just wait for you downstairs.”

“Didn’t I tell you not to bother?”

“It’s okay, baby, I’m already downstairs at your office building.”

Chloe’s voice on the other end of the line clearly changed, a hint of panic creeping in. “Huh? No, you actually came? What are you doing here?”

What am I doing here? I’m here to see what *you’re* doing.

I didn’t say anything more. After hanging up, I hid in the stairwell.

A few minutes later, Chloe emerged, a man in a sharp business suit trailing behind her.

They walked to the elevator and immediately embraced!

The two kissed goodbye, clinging to each other.

As he kissed her, his hands were all over Chloe, shamelessly exploring.

Guessing was one thing, but seeing it with my own eyes? That was another.

Rage consumed me, wiping out all reason. Blood rushed to my head, and I wanted nothing more than to storm out and strangle those two low-lives.

Then I heard the man laugh. “Your boyfriend really has it bad for you, doesn’t he?”

“Don’t even mention him! He’s such a persistent nuisance, always sticking to me like glue. Ugh, he’s such a buzzkill!”

Chloe’s words hit me like a bucket of ice water, momentarily cooling my impulse to burst out.

The man continued his lewd banter.

“How about you just let him wait downstairs while we keep going?”

“What are you thinking? He could come up any minute!”

“Last time he called you, didn’t we already give it a try? What’s there to be afraid of?”

“Ugh, you’re so bad, I hate you so much~”
