《Don't Annoy My Boss Daddy》 Chapter 1 My Fiance and My Best Friend Chapter 1My Fiance and My Best Friend At Sapphire Way. At ten o''clock in the evening. I opened the door, went in, and switched on the light. The crystal chandelier in the living room casted my shadow on the French window. I would be moving into this house after getting married tomorrow. My fiance, Vaughn Jarvis, was a department manager of apany. Not only was he handsome, but he was also extremely attentive and caring. I was d to be with a man who loved me so much. ording to the rules, couples must not stay together the night before their wedding. Hence, Vaughn was staying in the new house while I would be spending the night in my best friend, Evie Stokes'' ce. Before going to bed, I looked through everything that I would need and realized that I forgot to bring my veil. Hence, I sneaked into the new house without calling Vaughn to tell him about it. I wanted to give him a surprise. The thought that from tomorrow onwards, Vaughn and I would be able to live happily ever after, I smiled blissfully. However, the moment I walked into the living room, I heard the sound of a woman moaninging out of the master bedroom. I was shocked. The door of the master bedroom was closed, and the moans were vague. Immediately, a raging fire burned in my heart. My legs felt heavy, but I couldn''t help walking over. I stood at the door. The seductive moans became clearer and clearer, and there was an acute sense of suffocation in my chest. The door was half-closed. I pushed it a little, and it opened. There were a pair of beige high heels on the floor. There were also many other items that obviously belonged to a woman in the room. I couldn''t help but imagine the worst case scenario. Holding back the anger and panic in my heart, I looked at the bed. That one nce made my heart bleed. I could barely breath. My best friend, who was also my roommate for four years in university, was in the bed with Vaughn. When Laney Kaufman saw me standing at the door, there was a hint of provocation in her eyes. Her moans became more and more sexy. Looking at everything that was happening in the room, I felt suffocated. My fiance was holding another woman in his arms and making love to her. Anger and humiliation filled my chest. I clenched my fists and held back the urge to rush forward and tear them to shreds. Laney''s gaze was mesmerizing, and she ran her fingers over Vaughn''s chest in a seductive manner. Her moans were bewitching. "Dear, you would be getting married to Hollie Hunter tomorrow. Don''t you feel guilty that you''re doing this with me now?" Content protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org. "Why would I be guilty? There''s no difference between doing this the night before my marriage and any other night. Anyway, she''ll never find out about us." Vaughn''s voice wasced with pleasure. "What if she suddenlyes over and see the two of us having sex? What do you reckon she''d do? Would she call off the marriage?" Laney looked at me provocatively with a smirk on her face. "She won''te. And so what if she finds out? At most, the marriage will be canceled. I never nned to get married so young, anyway." Vaughn smiled nonchntly and continued thrusting himself into Laney. "Since you didn''t n to, why did you decide to get married? You know that we won''t be able to meet often after you''re married, right?" Chapter 2 Argument Chapter 2 Argument "Since you didn''t n to, why did you decide to get married? You know that we won''t be able to meet often after you''re married, right?" "If she didn''t force me, I wouldn''t marry her." Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024. Vaughn blurted out these words without holding back. And then rolled over and pinned Laney down. "Dear, your fiancee is here." Laney ced her hands on Vaughn''s chest to stop him froming closer. She then pointed at the door. "That''s impossible. I''ve just sent her off. Why..." Even though Vaughn said so, he couldn''t help but look at the door. "Hollie, why are you here?" Vaughn froze immediately when he saw me, and his expression stiffened. Vaughn quickly got off Laney and looked at me with a hint of panic in his eyes. At this moment, he was no longer aroused. In a panic, he didn''t manage to cover his naked body. Laney wrapped herself in the nket and looked at me in a leisurely manner. There was a mocking smile on her face. Right now, my face was covered in tears. I was furious and spiteful. I wanted to let my emotions out. The truth was so cruel. I had no choice but to turn and leave. Vaughn quickly wrapped a towel around his waist and caught up with me. There was guilt in his eyes. "Hollie, let me exin..." "Is there anything else to exin? I saw everything clearly just now. How do you n to defend yourself?" My heart ached so much that I couldn''t breathe. In fact, Vaughn''s eagerness to exin himself gave me a glimmer of hope. Laney put on Vaughn''s shirt. Her wavy, long hair was messily spread on her shoulders, and this made her look even more seductive. She walked over to me with a hint of provocation in her eyes. "Harper is Vaughn''s child." Harper was Laney''s three-year-old child. It turned out that Vaughn was the father... The glimmer of hope in my heart disappeared when I heard what Laney said. I felt my brain exploding, and for a moment, it was as though my world was copsing. I looked nervously at Vaughn, hoping that he would deny what Laney said. But things didn''t go as I imagined. Vaughn lowered his head a little, and there was guilt in his eyes. Evie was basically implying that Harper was his child. My heart hurt tremendously, as if it was being cut by a knife. I wanted to beat them up and scold them, but right now, all the emotions were pent up in my heart, and I couldn''t utter a single word. I was furious and spiteful! This shameless couple actually did this behind my back! For the past seven years, I treated Vaughn as the man I loved the most and Laney as my best friend. But they actually got together without my knowledge and even had a child together! "Bitch!" Unable to suppress the anger and humiliation in my heart, I raised my hand and pped Laney hard in the face. I used so much strength that my hand went numb. "Laney!" Vaughn''s voice rang out. Vaughn sounded obviously concerned about Laney. Laney turned her head sideways from the impact of the p. She then immediately turned back towards me and red at me. "Laney, are you okay? Does it hurt?" Vaughn looked at Laney, worry apparent on his face. When I saw this, there was a pang in my heart. My fiance was concerned about the mistress who ruined our rtionship right in front of me. How could I not be upset? "Vaughn, she hit me. My face hurts." Laney pretentiously put on a piteous look and hugged Vaughn''s arm. Tears were dripping down her cheeks. Chapter 3 Drinking to Forget Chapter 3 Drinking to Forget "Hollie, you''ve gone too far. How could you hit her? Since when have you be so unreasonable?" Vaughn suddenly turned to look at me, and there was obviously fury and me in his eyes. My heart ached, as if it was being torn apart. My face was pale as I looked at Vaughn. It was obvious Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org. that I was nothing to himpared to Laney. I was his fiancee, and we were about to get married tomorrow. However, not only did he make love with another woman in our new house, but that woman was also my best friend since university. "Laney Kaufman, get out of here! This is my newlywed home. Get the f*ck out of here!" I rushed forward and grabbed Laney''s arm like a madwoman, trying to drag her out of the house. "That''s enough! Hollie, don''t go too far!" Vaughn rushed forward, pushed me to the floor, and held Laney tightly in his arms. The pain I felt when falling to the floor was nothingpared to the pain in my heart. I got up and looked at Vaughn with a bitter smile. At this moment, I had the thorough realization that in his heart, I was far beneath his mistress. "Vaughn Jarvis, I hate you!" I shouted hysterically at him with every ounce of strength in my body. I ran out of the housing area and didn''t stop after that. Only through vigorous exercise could I temporarily forget about what I have seen just now. The scene kept reying in my mind. The night before my wedding, my fiance made love to my best friend. My best friend''s child even belonged to my fiance. I thought that something so absurd only existed in movies. Never had I expect it to actually happen to me. We had been in love for seven years. I thought that we would live happily ever after and be together forever after tomorrow. But what I saw tonightpletely ruined my fantasies. Vaughn was no longer the man who always said that he loved me and promised me eternity. In the bar. The air was filled with the smell of cigarettes and alcohol, and the music was deafeningly loud. People were swaying wildly on the dance floor, but I sat alone in a corner, drinking shots after shots of strong alcohol. I was on the verge of losing control of my emotions. The night before my wedding, I witnessed my fiance making love to my best friend. This was so ridiculous yet sad at the same time. It had been seven years. I had never suspected that the two of them were having an affair because they were the people I trusted the most and was closest to. But now, the two people I believe to be the closest to me in life betrayed me at the same time. Was there anyone in the world who was more pathetic than me? My mind was filled with the image of Laney''s naked body. She was on top of Vaughn, thrusting in and out, and Vaughn was enjoying it so much. I found it so ridiculous and disgusting. And then Harper turned out to be Vaughn''s child. Not only were Laney and Vaughn having and affair, but they even had a child together. I had always thought that Laney refused to talk about Harper because she was hurt. I had always been careful to avoid the topic. Now I know how pathetic I was. Were they hiding it too well, or was I just extremely stupid? I didn''t notice anything even after so many years. My emotions were a mess, and I couldn''t help but raise my head and take a huge gulp of the strong liquor. The burning feeling in my throat made me tear up, but I still felt extremely upset. The alcohol couldn''t cheer me up at all. Chapter 4 I Hope You Won’t Regret It Chapter 4I Hope You Wont Regret It Suddenly, my gaze fell on a man not far away. The man was wearing a ck suit, and his expression was cold. He was sitting at the bar and drinking alone. I recognized him. He was Vaughn''s immediate superior, Brandon Sutton. Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org. Vaughn once took me to apany dinner. I remembered Brandon because he made a speech during the dinner. I wondered what brought him to the bar. Did sessful people in the upper ss society spend their time at bars too? A thought suddenly shed through my mind,"Vaughn, since you are so cruel to me, don''t me me for taking revenge!" Holding my liquor ss, I rose and staggered forward. When I was almost in front of Brandon, I suddenly stumbled and fell onto him. He was very young and looked to be in his thirties. The cor of his white shirt was slightly open, and the sleeves of his shirt were rolled to expose his tan forearms. His nose bridge were tall, he had sexy lips, and his eyes were profound and lively. However, he looked extremely cold. He was a handsome and cold man. Brandon looked at me coldly, his face full of disgust. He then immediately pushed me away. "Apany me for a night." I looked at Brandon''s handsome face drunkenly and said tly. "What?" Brandon''s eyes widened. He obviously didn''t expect me to be so direct. "I asked you to apany me for a night. Don''t you understand what I was saying?" I put my arm around Brandon''s neck and whispered to him. Drunkenness made me bold. Under ordinary circumstances, never would I have said something like this. But after all the pain I had endured today, nothing was too much. "Are all women this open-minded nowadays? Do you want to get f*cked that much?" Brandon stared at me coldly, his eyes full of disdain. Right now, he must be thinking about how I was the kind of woman who seduced men in bars all the time. "Why? Are you afraid, or are you incapable of pleasing me?" I chuckled nonchntly and nced at his crotch. There was a hint of mockery in my voice. In this world, no man could stand someone saying that they were sexually incapable, especially by a woman. I believed that Brandon was no exception. Sure enough, as soon as I said this, his expression changed. The look in his eyes became even colder. "I hope you won''t regret it!" The next moment, Brandon dragged me away from the bar and asked for a room in the five-star hotel opposite the bar. Because I drank too much, my footsteps were a little unsteady. I couldn''t help but lean against Brandon for support. As soon as he closed the door, Brandon lifted my chin and stared at me with a profound gaze. Then, he kissed me. The kiss was so domineering and powerful that I couldn''t help but fall. Chapter 5 Indulgence Chapter 5 Indulgence The night was chaotic and ambiguous. When I woke up in the morning, I felt sore all over and my bones felt like they were falling apart. I cursed Brandon in my heart. How crazy was hest night? He was a beast! I sat up and looked down at the dense hickeys on my chest and the marks on my arm. I was even more annoyed. It was one thing to have sex, but why did he have to go so far? "How do you feel about my skills? Are you satisfied?" Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024. A sexy man''s voice came from beside me. I turned around quickly and saw Brandon staring at me with a dark look on his face. Panicking, I quickly wrapped myself up with the quilt. I felt ufortable letting a strange man look at my body like this, even though I was the one who initiated sexst night. "Now you''re pretending to be innocent in front of me? You were quite racy with mest night." Brandon stood up and approached me. His tone was full of disdain and scorn. His arrogant look made me feel very ufortable, as if I were a shameless b*tch. I lifted the quilt, picked up the clothes on the floor, and put them on in front of him. "You''re pretty good, and big enough too. I''m satisfied." I took a look at the crotch of Brandon''s trousers with a frivolous look in my eyes. Brandon''s face darkened in an instant. He looked at me with obvious anger in his eyes. "Are all the women nowadays as shameless as you? You dare to say anything!" As soon as he finished speaking, his gaze fell on the bed, and his eyes held someplicated emotions. I followed his gaze and saw a touch of red, which made my heart ache. I had been dating Vaughn for seven years. I''d always thought that I would keep my virginity until marriage, but before we had a chance for that, I''d discovered what a sc*m he was. And I fell to the level of giving my first time to a random man. "Is this your first time?" Brandon once again shifted his gaze to my face. There was aplicated look in his eyes. "So what if I am? Don''t tell me you have a virginplex?" Looking away, I looked at Brandon''splicated eyes and said sarcastically. Brandon frowned and looked at me unhappily, probably offended by my attitude. "Tell me, what do you want? Money?" After a long moment, he spoke again, his tone as cold as before. "What, will all the women who have slept with you ask you for money?" I felt as if I had been insulted. I looked at Brandon with some anger. "I just wanted to take revenge on Vaughnst night. Do I look like I want money?" "We''re just using each other for what we need. I don''t need your money. From today onwards, we never knew each other." After saying this, I didn''t want to say another word to Brandon. I quickly left the hotel. When I returned to my friend Evie''s house, she pulled me into her room. "Hollie. You didn''te backst night. Do you know how worried I was? I couldn''t call you on your phone either. Did you and Vaughn..." Chapter 6 The Wedding is Cancelled Chapter 6 The Wedding is Cancelled Evie raised her eyebrows as she looked at me, her ten fingers tapping continuously. I naturally understood what she meant. "You''re right. I did have sex with a man, but that man is not Vaughn." When I mentioned Vaughn, I only felt sick. I was really blind to find such a disgusting man. "What? You had sex with another man... What the hell is going on?" Content protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org. Evie stared at me with wide eyes. Clearly, she was shocked by my words. Seeing her shocked expression, I told Evie about what happenedst night when I saw Vaughn sleeping with Laney. "What? Vaughn really did such a thing? What a scumbag!" Hearing my exnation, Evie was also full of anger and started to curse Vaughn. "By the way, what about the wedding? Today is your wedding day." As if she had thought of something, Evie looked at me with an anxious expression. "The wedding is cancelled." When I said these four words, I could still feel how painful my heart was. I''ve been looking forward to this wedding for many years. I''d arranged every detail of the wedding carefully and gave all of my attention to it, but now it''s all gone. "Evie, I''m tired. I want to rest." Although I felt sick at the thought of Vaughn, he was still a man whom I had been in love for seven years after all. It was a lie to say that I was not heartbroken. "Now I just want to have a good sleep and forget about him. When I wake up, I''ll pretend that I have never known him." Evie also knew that I was upset, so she didn''t say anything more and went out. I didn''t know how long I slept. When I woke up, I heard some noise in the living room. It sounded like Vaughn''s voice. I heard that Evie seemed to be arguing with Vaughn. I opened the bedroom door and saw Vaughn sitting on the sofa in the living room, while Evie''s face was full of anger. "Hollie." Seeing me, Vaughn opened his mouth in a hurry. "Mr Jarvis, what are you doing here? You are not wee here!" I suppressed my urge to ask him why he betrayed me and pretended to be cold. "Hollie, what happenedst night..." Vaughn stood up and walked over to me with guilt in his eyes. "What, are you going to describe how you had sex with my best friendst night in front of my friend?" There was sarcasm in my tone, and the anger in my heart had already surged up. After all, I had loved him deeply. Thinking of his deception and betrayal, my heart ached inexplicably. "Hollie. I know what happenedst night was my fault, but Laney and I really love each other. I..." Vaughn opened his mouth as if he wanted to continue, but I interrupted him, "Enough! Vaughn, we''re over. You don''t have to exin anything to me. Didn''t you say that I forced you to get married? I''ll tell you now, you''re free!" It was him who cheated on me and slept with my best friend. They even had a child together. Now he was telling me that they loved each other. What an irony! If the two of them truly loved each other, what did he take me for the past seven years? Chapter 7 The Pain of Break-Ups Chapter 7 The Pain of Break-Ups The problem was that I was his official girlfriend, and today, on the day of our wedding, he came and said such words to me. I didn''t know that the man I had loved for so many years could be so shameless. "Hollie, thank you..." Perhaps it was because of guilt, Vaughn said this quietly without any confidence. Thank me? Iughed in my heart. Looking at Vaughn''s rxed face, my heart ached. The man who once loved me and said that he would make me happy for the rest of his life thanked me because I cancelled the wedding with him. I''m such a pathetic joke... "Get lost! I don''t want to see you again!" I pointed in the direction of the door and screamed. I was afraid that I would lose control and ask him why he betrayed me! ... "Did you hear that? Get lost!" Feeling indignant, Evie hit Vaughn hard with the broom. After Vaughn left, all my strength seemed to have been drained, and I sat on the ground nkly. Although he was a scumbag, he was still a man with whom I had been in love for seven years. At this point, it would be a lie to say that I wasn''t heartbroken. "Hollie. If you want to cry, you can cry. You''ll feel better after crying." Evie walked to my side and hugged me tightly, her tone full of sympathy. "Why should I cry? I won''t cry for such a shameless jerk. Evie, don''t talk about this scumbag in front of me ever again." I raised my head slightly, but my tears kept flowing down. "Hollie, I know you''re in a lot of pain. Just cry for a while. When you''re done crying, forget that jerk. Let''s start a new life." Evie hugged me tightly. I could tell from her voice that she was also choking back sobs. She was my best friend, and she probably felt sorry for me when she saw my current state. I didn''t know how long I cried. My eyes were swollen and ufortable, and I felt dizzy as if I had used up all my energy crying. After crying for a while, I went back to my room and fell asleep again. I spent almost one day and one night in bed. Even in my dreams, I dreamed of Vaughn, the scumbag, having sex with Laney on the bed. Evie couldn''t bear to watch me torment myself like this anymore, so she came to my room and woke me up. This was the third day after my break-up. Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org. "Hollie, get up and eat something." I buried my head in the nkets and didn''t want to say a word. I was not in the mood to eat now. In the past two days, I was tormented to the point of madness. As soon as I closed my eyes, all I saw was Vaughn''s betrayal and deception. "I won''t eat!" I just want to lie dead in bed and don''t want to do anything. However, Evie couldn''t stand it any longer. She tore off my nket and red at me with some anger. "Hollie, when did you be so useless? Is it worth humiliating yourself like this for a jerk?" I didn''t say anything, but my heart was still in pain. Although he was a jerk, I had loved him for seven years. In these seven years, I gave him all my love, expecting to be with him for the rest of my life. I thought that I would be taking another step into happiness, but in the end, what greeted me was a bottomless abyss. I fell into it and couldn''t get out. Chapter 8 They Were Not Worthy Chapter 8 They Were Not Worthy "Evie, what do you think I should do now?" I looked out of the window nkly, and my eyes became confused. "Vaughn has been everything to me for so many years. Everything I have is around him, and now I don''t have him. I feel that I have lost all my motivation. I don''t know what I am living for now. "Hollie, he''s just a scumbag. It''s better that you found out now. It''ll be toote if you find out after you get married." Evie sat beside me and gave me aforting hug. I could see the heartache in her eyes. "But my heart still hurts..." I hugged Evie tightly. My tears had already dried up in the past few days, but the pain in my heart would not disappear no matter how hard I tried. "Hollie, you will definitely forget that jerk, and you will definitely find a man who is thousands of times better than that jerk. Then he will regret it!" Evie looked into my eyes and said firmly. I''m d that I still have a good friend by my side. If she hadn''tforted me and encouraged me, I really wouldn''t have survived until now. "Get up, change your clothes and put on some make-up. Let''s go shopping and vent our anger today. After today, let that scumbag named Vaughnpletely disappear from your life!" Evie dragged me out of bed and forced me to change my clothes and put on make-up. I followed Evie to a shopping mall nearby and strolled through the women''s clothing area. I heard that this building was under Vaughn''spany. When I thought that it had something to do with Vaughn, I instinctively wanted to resist, but I was held back by Evie. I knew that Evie wanted to help me get rid of the trauma, so although I really didn''t want to go, I relented and didn''t leave. I strolled aimlessly through the women''s clothing area. Soon, Evie''s arms were filled with things she bought. I did not buy anything because I was not in the mood for shopping right now. Suddenly, I saw a man and a woman not far away. It was Vaughn and Laney. My heart ached, and I turned around hastily and dragged Hollie away. "Hollie, where are you dragging me to? I haven''t finished shopping yet." Evie didn''t see the two people not far away. She was a little upset with my actions. "Evie, let''s go somewhere else. I don''t want to be here anymore." I turned my back to the two people who are walking towards me. I don''t want them to realize I was there. Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024. With her brows tightly knitted together, she looked at me in confusion. Perhaps she didn''t understand why I suddenly became so abnormal. Just as she was about to say something, the two people discovered me. "Hollie, it''s such a coincidence to run into you here. I didn''t expect you to get over the break-up so soon. It''s only been a few days and you''re already in the mood to go shopping." Laney''s triumphant and sarcastic voice came to myears. It would be a lie to say that I wasn''t upset by what she said, but I would never show my sadness in front of these b*tches. They were not worthy. Seeing Vaughn and Laney, Evie finally understood why I tried to drag her away. She walked in front of me and protected me behind her. "I wondered who you were, and then I realised you''re the homewrecker! How does it feel to destroy someone''s happiness?" Chapter 9 Apologize Chapter 9 Apologize Seeing the contempt on Evie''s face, Laney''s expression changed. She was obviously angry. "Evie, don''t be so mean. Vaughn and I really love each other. If it wasn''t for Hollie Hunter, we would have been together a long time ago!" Evie rolled her eyes and put on a disgusted expression. "Every homewrecking b*tch has had the same excuse since ancient times. True love is bullshit. You''re just a sl*t who seduced your best friend''s fiance!" Laney red at Evie angrily. "Who are you calling a b*tch? Evie, say that again to my face!" "You know very well who I''m calling a b*tch, right? Some b*tches like to act pure, how disgusting!" Unwilling to show weakness, Evie red back at Laney. Their quarrel attracted many people''s attention. I quickly pulled on Evie''s arm. "There''s no need to quarrel with someone like this. Let''s go." "Vaughn, they bullied me. Don''t tell me you don''t care?" Just as Evie and I were about to leave, Laney took Vaughn''s arm and looked aggrieved. "Hollie." Vaughn frowned, as if he couldn''t bear to see Laney suffer, so he stopped me. Hearing him call my name, my heart ached inexplicably. I resisted the urge to cry and turned around to Content protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org. look at him coldly. "Your friend, Evie, was really rude to Laney just now. Shouldn''t she apologize?" Vaughn looked at me from a distance, and there was no emotion in his tone. Looking at his indifferent look, I felt as if my heart was being torn apart. The man who once loved and protected me was now questioning me because of another woman. Our rtionship couldn''t stand up to another woman. "Evie didn''t say anything wrong. You betrayed me first, and you lied to me for seven years. Now you want my friend to apologize to your mistress. Why? Vaughn, what makes you think I should apologize?" At this moment, I ignored the stares of the people around me. Step by step, I approached Vaughn and retorted loudly. I had tolerated his cheating, but now he was going too far. I was not someone who could be bullied easily. Hearing my words, the people around began muttering amongst themselves. Almost all of them were ming Vaughn. I''ve always been soft-hearted, and I''ve never raised my voice at Vaughn, but I was very angry today. Obviously, Vaughn didn''t expect that I would talk so loudly about his affair. For a moment, he couldn''t control his expression, and his eyes betrayed his guilt. "Hollie, why are you so loud? Vaughn and I really love each other. If it weren''t for you, we would have gotten married long ago. Now you are still pretending to be the victim. You''re the one who trapped Vaughn!" Laney walked to Vaughn''s side, held his arm tightly, and looked at me angrily. "Love him? I trapped him?" I snorted derisively. "I don''t even want a cheating sc*mbag like him. Disgusting!" A mocking smile tugged at the corner of my lips as I stared coldly at the two of them snuggled up to each other. I cannot tolerate any cheating. No matter how much I loved Vaughn, from the moment I saw him having sex with my best friend, our rtionship was over. Chapter 10 Please Do Me A Favour Chapter 10 Please Do Me A Favour I would never forgive such a disgusting man! "You''re just jealous, Hollie Hunter. No man would like a woman like you!" Laney looked at me haughtily with disdain in her voice. "There are many men who like Hollie. Only a jerk like Vaughn will like a bitch like you!" Seeing how arrogant Laney was, Evie once again retaliated. "Really? Who likes her? Call him here! I want to see what kind of man would like Hollie." Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024. Laney also knew how much I loved Vaughn. When we were together, we talked about Vaughn all the time. At that time, I regarded her as my best friend. Every time she asked about Vaughn, I thought she was concerned about me. I thought that best friends should never keep secrets from each other, so I always told her everything she wanted to know. In hindsight, how stupid I was! She wasn''t asking about Vaughn because she was concerned about me, she was doing it for herself. She had been nning to seduce Vaughn. "What, you can''t call him? Like I said, nobody likes her!" Laney''s sarcastic words came again. She looked at me arrogantly with a proud face. Now that she had taken away my fiance, we hadpletely fallen out. She must be very proud now. My fiance had be her man. In the face of Laney''s aggressiveness, I didn''t want to pay attention to her. I just wanted to turn around and leave, but she held me back and refused to let me go. "Laney, don''t push your luck. You''ve already gotten what you want. What else do you need?" I turned around and red at Laney angrily. This woman was getting more and more excessive! Just as Laney was about to say something, I saw a man not far away. I sneered and said to Laney coldly, "Don''t you want to know who my man is? Well, I''ll show you now!" With that, I strode directly to Brandon, who was not far away. I didn''t know why he was here, and I wasn''t concerned about that either. Fuming, I walked up to Brandon, took his arm and looked at him with a smile. "Darling, why are you here? Are you looking for me?" My sudden appearance stunned Brandon. When he saw me clearly, his handsome face darkened as if he was angry. At this moment, he must have thought that I was pestering him. However, I didn''t have time to exin the situation to him because Vaughn and Laney were there. I had to use Brandon so that I wouldn''t be embarrassed too badly. "It''s you? Why are you here?" Brandon''s voice was very low, but I could clearly feel the anger in his tone. "Please do me a favour. For the sake of my virginity." I didn''t know what kind of person Brandon is, nor did I know if he will cooperate with me to put on an act. I wasn''t sure. Brandon looked at me unhappily. His unfathomable eyes made it hard for me to guess what he was thinking, but I instinctively felt that he was a very dangerous person. Chapter 11 There Will Be No Next Time Chapter 11 There Will Be No Next Time Just when I thought he wouldn''t help me, he suddenly put one hand around my waist and smiled at me. "I went a little overboard that night. Are you feeling better?" There was an ambiguous smile on his face, and his voice was very gentle. I have to admit that I was stunned for a moment when such a handsome man looked at me so tenderly. But when I realized what he was talking about, my face suddenly turned red. This man really could say such things so suddenly. He was very frank. "I... I''m fine." I smiled awkwardly. His eyes were so deep that I didn''t dare to meet his eyes. "I''ll be careful next time. I won''t hurt you anymore." He reached out and tucked my hair behind my ear while looking at me tenderly. Somehow, his touch made me flustered and my face couldn''t help but turn red. Did he say next time? There would not be a next time! I already gave you my virginity, and he still wanted the next time? I cursed Brandon in his heart, but I still pretended to be happy in front of Vaughn and Laney. Not far away, I could clearly see the change in Vaughn''s expression. There seemed to be anger in his eyes when he looked at me. Laney couldn''t believe her eyes when she saw me snuggled in Brandon''s arms. She looked at me suspiciously. "Hollie, he''s the man you were talking about?" Brandon had always been superior to Vaughn in terms of wealth and looks. Even though Laney did not know who Brandon was, just based on his temperament, she could tell that this man was better than Vaughn. "What''s wrong, do you regret seducing Vaughn now?"

He took two steps forward and greeted Brandon respectfully. "Mr. Jarvis, what''s going on here?" Brandon nced at Vaughn and asked indifferently. Vaughn nced at me. Hearing Brandon''s question, he looked a little embarrassed. I thought he didn''t know how to answer Brandon''s question. I was now held in Brandon''s arms. I didn''t know how Vaughn felt, but I felt very happy. "No... nothing. It''s just some private affairs. What brings you here today, Mr Sutton?" In front of Brandon, he seemed a little restrained, so Vaughn immediately changed the subject. "Vaughn, do you know this man? Is he really Hollie''s boyfriend?" Laney had always been a proud person. When she saw Vaughn being respectful in front of Brandon, she was probably very unhappy and immediately strode over. "Vaughn, what''s wrong with you? This man can''t be Hollie''s boyfriend. I have never heard her mention him before." Laney pointed at Brandon and then looked at me with jealousy. Brandon''s appearance was not only good, but his temperament was even better than Vaughn''s. Laney was naturally upset when she saw that I had gotten a much better man than Vaughn. "Laney, shut up!" Vaughn pulled Laney''s arm and frowned. Chapter 12 Your Taste In Women Needs Improvement Chapter 12 Your Taste In Women Needs Improvement "Why are you pulling me? I''m telling the truth. I can guarantee that Hollie still loves you. I think she''s just picking up random men because you dumped her!" "Laney! Stop it!" As soon as Laney finished speaking, Vaughn scolded her with anger in his tone. "Vaughn, why are you yelling at me? Do you still have like Hollie? Don''t you love me anymore?" Laney suddenly became aggrieved, and there were tears in her eyes, as if she had suffered a great grievance. Looking at Laney''s pitiful look, I sneered. She always liked to pretend to be pitiful. Maybe this was why Vaughn was fascinated by her. Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024. "After all, men like delicate and weak women, and I am not this kind of woman." I thought to myself. "Mr. Jarvis, I think your taste of choosing women needs to be improved!" Brandon let go of my waist, walked up to Vaughn, nced at Laney, and said sarcastically. I didn''t expect that Brandon would be so mean when he spoke. I could clearly see that Vaughn was a little embarrassed. Seeing that the jerk was speechless, I felt vindicated. "Mr. Sutton, I''m kind of busy, so I''ll leave first." Vaughn was a prideful person. Laney''s shrewish behaviour just now had embarrassed him. He said these words to Brandon and left with Laney immediately. "Do you see it now? Hollie can easily find a better man than a cheating jerk like you!" Before they left, Evie didn''t forget to add. When they disappeared, I couldn''t continue my facade anymore. I couldn''t keep the smile on my face. ncing at Brandon, I hesitated for a moment, then walked up to him and thanked him. "Thank you for what happened just now." "Let your friend go back first. We need to talk." Brandon nced at Evie, who was next to him, and then turned to me and said coldly. "I don''t think there''s anything to talk about between us. If there''s nothing else, I''ll leave." For some reason, every time I looked into Brandon''s bottomless eyes, I couldn''t help but panic. I always felt like I might be trapped in his eyes at any time. I took Evie''s hand and was about to leave. I was drunk that night and indulged like Brandon. But I wasn''t drunk now, so I didn''t have the courage nor the audacity to talk to him. "Um, you guys go ahead and talk, I just remembered that I have to do something. Bye, Hollie!" However, I didn''t know what Evie was thinking, but she let go of my hand and left after saying this, leaving me standing there alone. Just as I was about to flee, Brandon suddenly grabbed my wrist. Brandon dragged me to the corner of the stairs and pressed me against the wall. The two of us were so close to each other that I could almost feel the unique masculine aura emanating from him. That night, I was drunk. Other than knowing that it was Brandon, I didn''t notice anything else. Being so close to him right now made my heart beat uncontrobly. "Brandon... Brandon, what are you doing?" His eyes were staring straight at me, and I was inexplicably flustered. I wanted to run away, but my feet seemed stuck and I couldn''t move.

Finally, he opened his mouth and looked at me with a questioning look in his eyes. Hearing Vaughn''s name, I couldn''t help but feel a pain in my heart. However, I had already passed the most painful period in the breakup. Even if I was sad, I could cover it up well. "Nothing much. We''re strangers." In the past, Vaughn was the most important person in my life, the person I was about to entrust my whole life to, but now he and I could only be considered strangers at most. "Do you think I''ll believe you? Hollie Hunter!" He looked at me coldly, and his voice was filled with anger. I was shocked. How did he know my name? I didn''t think I had mentioned my name to him before. "How did you know my name? Did I tell you?" I looked up at his charming eyes and asked in a low voice. "Do you think it''s very difficult for me to investigate a person? And the woman beside Vaughn also called you by your name." He frowned and looked at me as if he was looking at an idiot. His voice was low and sexy. "I... I''m leaving. Meeting you again today was aplete ident. And thank you for what happened just now." With this, I turned around and was about to leave, but I was once again blocked by Brandon in the corner. He supported himself with his hands on the wall behind me, and his whole body drew closer to me. I was trapped between his arms. At this moment, I could clearly feel how fast my heart beat. His handsome face was so close to me. Facing such a handsome guy, it would be abnormal if I didn''t feel anything. I thought I was just not used to being close to the opposite sex apart from Vaughn. Because in the past seven years with Vaughn, I had always tried to keep a distance from the opposite sex. I was not used to dealing with the opposite sex now. "You want to leave just like that?" He slowly approached me. His voice was low and sexy. Every syble hit my heart, making my heart beat wildly. "What... what do you want?" As he approached, I didn''t even dare to make a sound. "Tell me, are you ying hard-to-get now?" Suddenly, his eyes became cold, and the tone of questioning became more and more obvious. I was still a little flustered, but when I heard his words, my heart was immediately filled with anger. What did he mean? What did he mean by ying hard-to-get? "I don''t know what you''re talking about. Sorry, I have something to do. I''m leaving." I pushed Brandon''s arm away and was about to leave. This man was really out of his mind. When was I ying hard-to-get with him? I really don''t know what he is talking about! I thought that Brandon wouldn''t let me leave so easily, but surprisingly, he did not stop me. Walking alone on the road, I felt more deste than ever. The scene that happened in the mall just now was still lingering in my mind. I didn''t know how I couldpletely forget Vaughn. How could I not feel heartache? I went back to Evie''s home. As soon as I entered, she kept asking me questions. All of them were about Brandon. "Tell me, what''s the rtionship between you and the man you met in the mall today? Is it the man you metst night?" Evie was a very smart person. In fact, even if I didn''t say anything, she would have almost guessed it. Chapter 14 Looking For A Job Chapter 14 Looking For A Job Under her repeated questioning, I could only admit that the man I indulged in that night was Brandon. "Hollie, I think that Brandon is pretty good. If you can be with him, it will definitely be much better than being with that scumbag Vaughn." She was probably trying to help me move on from the break up, so she began giving me bad ideas. I shook my head helplessly and sighed inwardly. Her imagination was too active. There was nothing between me and Brandon except for that one night stand. We were from twopletely different worlds. What kind of person was Brandon? He was someone who had immense influence in City A. His business was spread throughout the country. Although he was a low-key person, everyone knew that he was a rich man. "It''s impossible for me and Brandon to be together. You''d better note up with any bad ideas." I threw these words at her and went back to my room to rest. Content protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org. "He is Vaughn''s immediate superior. When you saw him today, he was so scared and respectful. If you could be his immediate superior''s boss, it would be great." Evie''s words made me stop. For a moment, I was really tempted. I admitted that I wanted to take revenge on Vaughn, and I also admit that I was angry and resentful when I saw him with Laney! But this idea only shed in my mind for a second. Brandon and I had no rtionship at all. As for why he appeared in the bar that day, I didn''t know. Maybe it was because rich people had their own troubles, but this was not what I need to worry about. The most important thing for me now was to adjust my mentality and find a job to feed myself. The ce where I worked before was too far away from Vaughn''spany, so I quit my job. I had nned to find another job closer to him after we got married. The problem was that we did not get married, and now I was unemployed. There was probably no woman in this world who was worse off than me. I gave up everything for a jerk... Two more days passed. After receiving Evie''s guidance every day, I gradually moved on from the break up. I thought it through. There was no need for me to feel sad for a scumbag who betrayed me. In the past few days, my life had returned to peace. I felt that my new life was about to begin. Early in the morning, I got up and cleaned myself up. I was going to an interview, so I changed into a professional suit and put on a simple light makeup, making myself look much more delicate and capable. I majored in graphic design, so I applied to advertisementpanies. I came to thergest advertisingpany in City A and looked at the towering building. I felt dizzy gazing upwards from the ground. My oldpany was a small advertisingpany. Even if I had an outstanding performance, I didn''t get much in bonuses. I knew that my abilities would only improve if I went to a biggerpany, which was why I chose thispany. The only bad thing was that Vaughn was also in thispany. Originally, I didn''t want to choose this
