Before he could finish, another slap landed hard across Derek’s face.
Selena clenched her teeth and snapped, “Get lost, Derek! You think everyone’s as shameless as you?
“There’s nothing between me and Mr. Sharp-we’re business partners, got it? I’m a shareholder at Vanguard now.
“Why would I go back to being some low-level employee with you p>
Thinking about everything she’d done for him, only to be met with suspicion, made her feel completely numb.
Right after explaining, she already regretted wasting her breath. Why was she even bothering with this scumbag?
What a waste of time.
He actually thought she’d use her body to please another man? If her brother heard that, he’d probably break her legs.
Hearing her explanation, Derek suddenly had a thought and quickly changed his tune, putting on a friendly, apologetic face.
He held onto Selena and spoke gently, “Selena, I shouldn’t have doubted you. I’m sorry, okay? But it’s only because I love you so
much!
“Come back with me, please? You want shares, right? I’ll give them to you. As many as you want p>
He was certain that if Selena returned to the company, the Long family would support them, and the crisis that had been. hounding him for days would be solved instantly.
And given how much she used to love him, he was confident she’d say yes.
After all, every time he humbled himself, Selena always fell for it-it had never failed.
To his surprise, Selena yanked her arm away and smirked coldly.
“Now you’re offering me benefits? Your company must be on the brink of collapse.
“Didn’t you say I was useless, that all the credit belonged to you? Then go back and run your pathetic company yourself p>
Maybe in the past, she would’ve believed him.
No matter what his friends said about her, she used to turn a blind eye.
But when he cheated with his so-called dream girl, she couldn’t take it anymore.
Looking back now at those years…
The first two years weren’t so bad. He still sweet-talked her and let her work hard for him.
But once the business took off, he started resenting her.
A man’s love could change in an instant. She’d never believe in that bullshit again.
Derek tried to speak again, but his phone rang in his pocket.
The screen lit up with “Sophie p>
He glanced at Selena, then turned away to answer the call.
On the other end, Sophie’s tearful voice came through. “Derek, I was in a car accident. I’m in so much pain… please come help
me p>
1/2
Derek’s expression darkened, but he replied gently, “Alright, just stay put and don’t move. I’m coming right now p>
Before he could say anything else, Selena’s fingertips turned pale as she sneered, “Go on, get lost. Your dream girl clearly needs you more, so stop coming to me. Next time, I’ll call security p>
Typical.
A man’s promises were worth nothing.
One moment he was bending over backward to win her back, the next he was running off the second his precious Sophie called.
Absolutely pathetic.
The same man who clung to her now couldn’t even let go of his so-called dream girl.
What a joke.
She didn’t need a man like that in her life.
Derek was fuming, but thinking about Sophie’s accident, he couldn’t hold back. “Can you be reasonable for once? Sophie’s been in a car crash-I have to go check on her.
“If you had any sense, you wouldn’t be making a scene right now. Think about what you’ve done wrong these past few days, Selena p>
With that, he turned and stormed off without hesitation.
Selena could only laugh.
What exactly had she done wrong?
