An hour later, her male assistant drove the car and posted a message on his social media.
Seeing that I had given in, she pushed the door open and left without any hesitation.
On the contrary, Marco posted photos related to Louisa every day.
If you were president, how would you make America "great again?"
It was time to end this tangled triangle relationship.
Her eyes were a bit red and her gaze was full of charm.
I threw the document on the table, interrupting the two people who were staring at each other.
Not only did he dare to accept it, he also dared to post it openly on his X post and another social media to show off.
Her voice came from outside the door. “Oh, by the way, Rosie said that your underwear needs to be replaced, so she threw them all away. You can get new ones from the bottom.”
It was her handwriting.
A series of notifications popped up on my phone and it was an X post that Marco had just posted.
I spent the next whole week busy with the transfer.
She took out a bottle of perfume from her eight-digit Hermes bag and smiled dotingly.
Why do men cheat on their wives with someone extremely unattractive?
“I haven’t said anything yet, but you’re eager to put the blame on me.”
I had Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, so everything had to be neatly laid out.
I got it.
What is the most gay experience with your dad?
“But the fact is, the value of these orders is far less than that of a supercar.”
Until my assistant nervously handed me Marco’s X account and said, “Sir, I think I should let you know about this.”
With an annual revenue of nearly 10 billion, she said we were not a match.
Why can't hot girls date ugly guys? I am ugly but I want an attractive girlfriend
The girl’s cold face showed some dissatisfaction.
My assistant suddenly pushed the door and casually said, “Sir, I saw Ms. Louisa and her assistant went to eat seafood. What do you want to eat? I’ll order it for you.”
“On X, her assistant posted a message thanking Ms. Louisa for treating him to a delicious meal.”

Forget it, it was better for the person who did not belong to me to leave.
“It’s my fault, Mr. Gilmore. I shouldn’t have accepted Ms. Watson’s gift.”
After all, there was no evidence that they were having an affair.
I bent down and opened the bottom cabinet.
Faced with his provocation, my gaze turned a bit cold and I found it somewhat funny.
[Driving the car given by my boss to send her home and even the wind was sweet.]
Which is the worst Bollywood movie you have ever seen and why?
I took out my mobile phone and called my father who was far away in Brimstone.
“Well, my Baby, here … I bought you a new limited-edition perfume, so don’t be angry.”
And that’s where we’ll leave the story for now. The journey ahead is full of twists, turns, and unforgettable moments you won’t want to miss.
How did you react when your doctor ordered a colonoscopy?
In his post, there was a box of underwear of this brand.
“I would like to inform everyone that I will be stepping down as the general manager. The company will be fully handed over to Mr. Blunt and Mr. Vaughan beside me.”
A pair of gleaming silver stiletto heels stepped on the ground.
Which daily habits can help you keep a clear and positive mind?
Just as I was trying to calm my emotions and go downstairs, she pushed open the bathroom door with the flip-flop sound of her slippers.
I suddenly felt ridiculous.
“Notify everyone that there will be a staff meeting this afternoon.” I ordered.
“I can’t help it. This is the girls nowadays.”
I was sure now.
Shouldn’t we have anticipated such a result?
She did not let my hand go, instead she patiently said, “I know you’re angry, I apologize to you, okay? But Marco and I really have nothing, you’re sold your shares and broke up ….”
The next day, I came to the company with hungry stomach from the night.
And staying up the whole night working on a project together and drinking American coffee at 3 a.m.
She was standing in the crowd, looking at me from afar.
In what capacity was he asking me not to blame my girlfriend?
She also said that she liked my innate arrogance and rebelliousness the most.
I nodded and responded, “Next week, I’ll transfer the management rights of the company to you and leave.”
[Having a boss who cares for her subordinates is my happiness.]
I did not even glance at them, just brushed past them.
Her eyes were fixed on Marco, who opened the car door for her, with a hint of aggressiveness.
He joked that I should have changed a long time ago.
I frowned and responded calmly, “Let go, it’s so dirty.”
Louisa was stunned and frowned.
“Lionel, sorry, I didn’t get back from meeting with my business partners at noon. I just had a quick bite outside. Have you eaten yet?”
Louisa became anxious. She frowned and said in defense, “How can this be a small matter? You follow me on business trips every day and I don’t want others to criticize you everywhere.”
Until I saw a post on X.
“The blind date with the eldest daughter of the Scotts, I’ll go.”
No.
“She just feels too tired being with you. No matter how hard she tries, she can’t earn even one-tenth of your family’s money and she can’t spend your money with peace of mind.”
There was no point to keep a woman who had left my heart.
Only when we did not love could we make rational judgments.
Seeing I stopped talking, she sighed.
Whatever Louisa wanted to do, I accompanied her.
Marco was the partner who could stand shoulder to shoulder with her.
I saw them exchanging a few words with each other and Louisa smiled particularly happily.
I squinted as I walked into the villa in a cold voice.
Louisa then pulled me all the way into the bathroom.
I handed the breakfast to my assistant and asked him to go out and sell me another one.
I took a sip of my mojito without saying a word.
I stepped down from the stage and left the conference room.
“Mr. Gilmore, good evening. Ms. Watson and I just had dinner outside and came back a bit late. Please don’t blame her.”
She knew that I loved cars as much as my life, yet she dared to steal it and give it away to someone else.
I walked out and stood in front of the girl.
Louisa, took my underwear and gave it to his assistant?
She took a deep breath and said, her eyes filled with disapproval of me, “You took back the gift I gave him in public and now you’re letting him waste so much time at the dealer.”
It turned out that all this time she always felt that we were not a good match.
“Can’t you go tomorrow? Why do you have to go out so late?” asked me in annoyance.
Marco pursed his lips and said no words.
We had been in relationship for nine years and this was the first time I had gotten so angry over another man.
She raised her hand and slammed the table angrily, saying harshly, “We can handle it ourselves. We don’t need you.”
Let her pick and send it away.
As early as yesterday, I had entrusted someone to send her a breakup message.
Five years ago, after graduating from university, my father asked me to return to Brimstone to inherit the family business.
“With so many supercars you have, you don’t mind, do you?”
She reacted, quickly stopped me and angrily said to Marco behind her, “What the hell is going on! When did I lie down with you?!”
I lit a cigarette and blew a puff into the air.
At first, I suspected that Marco took the photos secretly behind Louisa out of vanity.
“Lionel, I don’t know how the news about the sports car spread in the company. The staffs are all talking about Marco behind his back. Can you come and help Marco explain it for the sake of signing big orders today?”
After five years of ups and downs, we opened the largest clothing company in Araya.
Wasn’t it normal for people to criticize a boss who gave his or her assistant a luxury car?
“Mr. Gilmore is already busy with work, so it’s better not to trouble him with these small matters.”
In the evening, I stood on the balcony of the villa and gazed the sunset.
[Congratulations for becoming a boyfriend and becoming a regular employee officially.]
“You can prepare dinner yourself.”
Marco’s eyes slightly lifted and his cold face turned slightly pale.
Louisa Watson, who was showing off her affection to me on X a second ago, quietly took away the limited-edition sports car that I had reserved for a long time in the automotive dealership.
“Lionel, Marco has returned the car to the dealer, but I need to go over to cancel the account.”
I got in the car and headed to the airport.
In the past five years, I had transformed from a rich second-generation who knew nothing to a first-generation entrepreneur.
“Do you want me to use my authority to force the people below to shut their mouths up?”
“Are you used to driving?”
Although I did not want to admit it, I was now so jealous that I was insane.
Nine years of giving everything for a girl, but in the end, she still did not appreciate it.
I leaned back in the recliner and sneered.
[Wow, after reading your secret stories on your crush for four years, you finally got her love!]
“I’ve been waiting for this car for almost half a year and no one can take it away, not even you, my girlfriend.”
“If I want to have a future with you, I have to get stronger. Of course, you can act childish and ask me not to go today, but I don’t want to disappoint my subordinates who fight side by side with me.”
I stared at the perfume in her hand and recalled every moment of us for the past nine years.
Louisa stepped on her high heels to protect the man behind her and hugged my waist.
Haha … I sounded like a stingy person from his words.
Since we wanted to sever ties, we naturally had to settle everything.
I pulled the corners of my mouth and smiled.
Louisa who was wearing a white suit and holding a white crocodile leather bag, stepped out of the car.
“I still have over a dozen supercars in my basement. Choose any one you want and consider it as a gift from me.”
Marco took two steps forward with his long legs and blocked me.
[Finally, from crush to girlfriend ….]
“This is your own problem. I shouldn’t have to put on a leadership role and help you solve it.”
Louisa, after nine years of our relationship, did you have any feelings for me?
She grabbed her assistant’s hand, pushed the office door and left without looking back.
I did not need to be too concerned.
This clothing company was co founded by me and Louisa. She and I both hold half of the equity.
However, I did not want to leave Louisa, so I stayed in Araya.
— —
She and Marco would go back to the company to work overtime tonight and would not go home.
In his latest X post, he posted a picture of Louisa lying in his arms and sleeping soundly.
The way he called her changed to be more intimate.
Marco took a step back, lost his composure and apologized several times.
“You dare to give a supercar worth two million seven hundred dollars to the man who adores you, Louisa ….”
I picked up the documents she brought back and gave a faint response. “Hmm.”
Rosie paid extra attention to this and checked it carefully every day.
I put my hands in my pockets, curled the corners of my mouth and a hint of coldness and anger flashed in my eyes.
Ms. Louisa?
Seeing her smile and express her emotions towards him.
The breakfast box she brought in the bag was my least favorite lamb sandwich.
“When is your blind date with the Scott Family arranged? Have you really decided to leave Araya?”
It was obvious that it was not what she was prepared for me.
I nodded and looked at her leaving back, then opened the cabinet where my underwear was stored.
I did not have any emotions more, I just smiled indifferently and returned the phone to my assistant.
Followed Marco behind her.
“You’re the boss, Lionel, this is a matter of words.”
He uttered a dull response. “Hmm”.
She frowned and pouted.
But she refused decisively and stayed by my side wholeheartedly.
I fixed my gaze full of pressure on him.
I frowned.
“Marco Tucker, right? It’s just a car. I can still afford it.”
“Am I strange?”
“I feel strange with you like this.”
I was stunned for a moment and frowned. “Where did you see them?”
A message from Louisa popped up on my mobile phone.
I was too lazy to argue with her, so I just opened X and showed her Marco’s X account.
A supercar worth nearly two million seven hundred dollars was not something that a marketing director with no background like Louisa could afford.
My raging anger suddenly died down and what followed was endless coldness and disappointment.
The next day, the real estate agent came to register the sales information of the villa.
“Louisa, do you want to hear what you’re saying right now?”
A majestic roar came from afar and a limited-edition supercar with black and gold paint appeared in front of the villa.
Just overnight, he changed the way he called his boss from “Ms. Louisa” being “Louisa”.
I, who felt heartbroken at first, became numb in the end.
He bowed to me, his voice pleading. “I’m sorry, Mr. Gilmore. I didn’t think carefully about this matter. I will solve it myself. Don’t blame Louisa.”
Having been in society for so many years, everyone had gained some insight.
I had money, good looks and a good figure, so why should I waste my time on someone who did not love me!
As a man, he should know why I was angry.
If he dared to accept it, he should be able to guess who the original owner of the car was.
A side photo taken from the perspective of the girlfriend sitting in the passenger seat.
When the salesperson sent me a message in the afternoon, I thought Louisa was trying to give me a surprise secretly, so I spent three hours happily in the dressing room choosing an outfit.
“Rosie is taking a day off today. You take a shower first and I’ll go fry you a steak,” she said.
“As the marketing director, you have a keen eye, so you shouldn’t miss it.”
Thank you for joining me, and I can’t wait to see you in the next chapter!
Even though the gift she gave was to serve herself.
“Louisa has been with me for nine years and has seen a lot of things. I don’t think a supercar is a big deal.”

Marco Tucker walked around the car to the passenger seat and opened the passenger door gently and considerately.
“You have a prominent family background, Lionel, unlike ordinary people like me.”
“It’s too late now. It’s not safe to go out. You can go tomorrow.”
At night, my best friend, Reymond Blunt called me to drink.
Since the argument that day, Louisa had blocked me on X and WhatsApp.
At three o’clock in the afternoon, I walked into the largest conference room of the company with Reymond on time.
Spending their time together watching the sunset on the beach after chatting with their bussiness partner.
I looked at her deeply and believed her pledge of allegiance for the time being.
She was stunned for a moment, her lips slightly parted, with an incredulous expression.
He looked up, a hint of surprise appearing in his eyes.
Now everything had changed.
Marco reacted earlier than Louisa.
But I did not expect, Louisa brought me breakfast on the table with the sticky note on the bag.
“You took the car without my consent. I just wanted to take back what belonged to me.”
My assistant shook the mobile phone in his hand with a look of surprise.
At one o’clock in the afternoon, I finished dealing with all the documents, but there was no sign of Louisa.
She defended him.
The atmosphere was silent.
“Also, today, I suddenly remembered that you had ordered a supercar, so I picked it up and gave it to him.”
I stared at it for a long time.
My face turned cold and so did my heart.
She said I was her life.
I dragged my suitcase towards the security checkpoint and ran into Louisa and Marco who were rushing back.
Now, he even called her “Louisa”.
No man could bear to see the girl he loved using his own money to buy gifts for other men.
Then, her tone was both coaxing and scolding, brought me back to my senses. “I know you are jealous because you love me, but the others who don’t know will think you’re targeting someone else’s staff.”
“Lionel, you can’t just think about yourself.”
But now everything had changed.
A relationship that had changed in quality was like an unappetizing breakfast. There was no need to force ourself to eat it.
I just wanted my favorite supercar back.
Jealousy over a slightly more good-looking male assistant was truly a fall from grace.
“This is an irrefutable evidence. Do you want me to expose all the dirty things you have done?”
Hearing those words, both of them were stunned.
“I’ll cancel and return it to the dealer as soon as possible.”
In the past, I admired her rational and clear nature the most.
I turned my gaze away from the door and let out a long sigh.
There were comments below.
It seemed like the superior-subordinate relationship between them was closer than I imagined.
She pulled out a chair in front of the table and sat down, sighing.
Marco behind her spoke up, “It’s okay, Mr. Gilmore, a few rumors can’t hurt me.”
I was already angry and hearing these words only added fuel to the fire.
I was furious instantly and lost my sanity.
A nice and friendly reminder to board the plane sounded at the airport.
Louisa stepped in front of him and pulled my sleeve.
She had some impatience on her face, but she still held back her patience to explain to me.
“Don’t you like this car? It’s also for your sake that I canceled it early.”
I wanted to rush downstairs and question that girl right away.
But in the cabinet, a box of men’s underwear was missing.
The guilt I felt for impulsively agreeing to the blind date last night completely disappeared.
“Am I thinking of myself?”
As soon as I arrived, the airport lobby was crowded with people.
I felt a chill in my heart and blurted out. “Go ahead.”
As a cold and aloof beauty, men pursue her and compete to get her.
Before getting off work, I received two business trip applications for two people and clicked “agree”.
I saw admiration and heartache for another man in her eyes.
Did she know what it meant to give a man underwear as a gift?
At three o’clock in the afternoon, Louisa pushed the door to my office and stepped in with her high heels.
Everyone was in an uproar, expressing shock hearing this news.
“Speak! Marco!”
I waited for her for so long that I was starving. I then opened my mobile phone and saw Marco’s social media.
His slender fingers gripped the steering wheel and the corners of his mouth curved in just the right angle.
“My words were harsh, but you should know that Marco is the man in the company who can help me share the workload the most. You made him lose face in public today and I can’t just abandon him now.”
She said the sports car had been cancelled and sent back to the automotive dealership.
I laid in my bed and stayed up the whole night.
“I don’t care if you misjudged his contribution to the company or you feel sorry for him for accompanying you on business trips and driving every day. The company has given him enough salary and if it’s not enough, he can ask for more, instead of you secretly using my supercar to compensate him.”
Louisa held my hand and said in a deep voice, “Lionel, why are you so angry?”
“Got it! Marco and I have nothing, not now and not in the future.”
My head exploded with a loud bang.
Targeting? He was not worthy.
The perfume in her hand was more of a brand I had long since disliked.
“First of all, a person of integrity has nothing to fear. If you, Louisa, are doing your job impartially, rewarding him for bringing huge profits to the company and giving him a supercar is understandable.”
Louisa did not expect me to speak so bluntly and her face suddenly turned ugly.
In a flash, I remembered the X post Marco posted two days ago.
“The way he looks at you is not the way an ordinary subordinate looks at his superior.”
My hand, which was about to sign, paused and I raised my eyes.
I had loved her for so many years, what storms had I not seen.
[Marco and I go to meet some clients and have lunch together.]
My father even agreed to a blind date with the Scott Family on my behalf overnight.
She really took the car that I had been longing for half a year away from the automotive dealership secretly and gave it to someone else.
Getting up early and having breakfast together in the hotel.
At that moment, all my expectations were dashed.
When we were in love, she once whispered in my ear that she would only love me and only me in her life.
She also wanted me to defend him with her despite feeling disgusted.
“It’s my fault, Mr. Gilmore. Please don’t blame Ms. Louisa.”
“Alright, Lionel, doesn’t he have to pick me up and drop me off every day for work?”
Louisa and I had been dating since we were in college until now.
Leaving me only the refreshing fragrance of gardenia that dissipated into the air.
“Didn’t you give him the car and he accepted it? What’s the point of having me, an outsider, wipe his ass?”
That night, I brought all the top-of-the-line sports cars that I had collected in my garage to her.
I was really reluctant to leave everything behind and return to Brimstone now.
“But you have to know, as an assistant, what you should and shouldn’t accept.”
“No, I do.”
Love did not become a burden when two people’s hearts were truly together.
I ignored her shock, put away my mobile phone and walked past her.
