Chapter 23 The Enemies Reappear I

• Yvaine
• “I will never allow this wretched woman to lead my project, Mr. Brandon. I believe it’s a lack of seriousness to assign a manager who will oversee all three companies at this stage of the project. Furthermore, this woman is not even qualified to lead us. She was fired from my fiancee’s company for lack of decorum; she slept with another man while she was with Harry, right, darling?” As my cousin continued to make false accusations that had been thrown around a year ago, I remained silent, watching her from my chair. Meanwhile, Brandon, my boss, looked at my cousin without saying a word.
• Harry, on the other hand, couldn’t take his eyes off me. I could feel his gaze shamelessly roaming over every part of my body. It disgusted me, especially because, if what Maryori had said a moment ago was true, he and my cousin were engaged. And yet, in front of my cousin, he couldn’t stop undressing me with his eyes. How blind I had been to date that man; seeing him now only made me feel disgusted.
