“Look at how pathetic you are. You’d be better off begging on the streets.” Erika crossed her arms, her eyes fired on the trembling Daisy he a venomous
snake as the cowered in the corner,
Daisy clenched her jawc head bowed in stubborn silence. She clutched the hem of her clothes so tightly that her fingertips turned pale.
“Stop playing the victim,” Erika sneered. She suddenly lunged forward, snatched a cup from the counter, and smashed it violently onto the floor.
The sharp crack of shattering glass echoed through the room. Daisy flinched slightly but kept silent, refusing to let a single word slip out.
“Say something. damn it, I Erika shrieked. Her voice rose sharply as she suddenly lashed out, brutally kicking Daisy in the shirt.
Daisy winced in pain, nearly buckling to her knees, but she clenched her teeth and endured it.
Clutching the wall for support, she slowly rose to her feat, her eyes rimmed with red, yet she stubbornly refused to let a single tear fail “Enka. Ihaven’t done anything wrong
Erikasnapped, “Did nothing wrong? Your mere presence is the ultimate chanse.”
Daisy remained silent, gripping her own arms tightly.
Seeing Daisy’s meek submission only fueled Erika’s rage. “Get out. Don’t let me see you again. If you do, trust me. I’ll make your life a whole lot worse.”
Without sparing Enka another glance, Daisy silently turned and walked out the door.
Head still lowered, she hurried back to her workstation. As the passed Serena’s desk, she caught a glimpse of a vibrant bouquet of red roses placed prominently on the desk
By now, Serena’s workstation had become the center of attention in the office.
“Wow, who sent these? Rosan? How romantic”
“Wow, that’s quite the showy display. Those flowers must have cost a fortune”
“Serena is to damn lucky. I’m so jealous“:
“You should’ve seen Enka’s face when she walked by just now. She looked absolutely livid
Serena could already hear them from outside the office door, but the moment she pushed once bustling office instantly fell silent
The whispering colleagues immediately fell silent, all eyes unconsciously drawn to her.
She reached for the bouquet, noticing a small card tucked among the blooms. Pulling it out, she flipped it open to read
At the sight of Jacob’s name on the card, Serena immediately shoved it back into the bouquet, her eyes brimming with nothing but disgust
Serena strode over to the office trash bin and, without a second thought, tossed the bouquet in
…..
The afternoon clock chime shattered the brief calm
Serena squirmed under the weight of furtive glances, feeling as if someone was always secretly watching her
Apparently, those roses tossed in the trash were still the talk of the office.
Standing at the pantry doorway, Erika’s eyes stantly locked onto Jacob as he walked into the office, arms full of vibrant red roses.
