His Forbidden Desire: From Secretary to Lover novel Chapter 5

On a late summer to early autumn night, the chill made Reinette shiver both physically and mentally.

She walked back home with blisters all over her feet.

Opening the door, she found her own space. She silently undressed and took a shower. The scalding water hit her body until it almost peeled off a layer of skin. She turned off the shower and vigorously scrubbed her skin with a bath ball until all the disgusting marks disappeared.

She did all of this expressionlessly, without crying from start to finish. When she looked at the bruise on her neck in the mirror and stared at the bloodshot-eyed person in the reflection for a long time, tears suddenly couldn't be controlled anymore.

How did she end up living such a miserable life?

"Loser."

The person in the mirror suddenly raised her hand and slapped herself hard. One slap wasn't enough, so she hit herself again. Her face hurt, but her mind became clear. She wiped away her tears, left the bathroom, and blow-dried her hair. Then she calm down.

Louis was like a bomb. She absolutely couldn't collide with him again, otherwise, she wouldn't be as lucky as she was today. She wasn't stupid enough to really plot against Amelia. Even if the other party was annoying, she would not ruin her reputation.

Resigning was the best way for her, leaving B City and taking her mother to a small town.

Jadeon was a generous sugar daddy. Over the years, she had managed to buy two houses and had tens of thousands of dollars in savings in her bank account.

Thinking about this, her pressure was reduced a lot. She didn't hesitate anymore, threw down her towel, and sent a resignation application to the personnel department overnight. When the email was sent, the huge stone in her heart seemed to move away instantly. However, it was only a moment of relaxation. The overwhelming sensation of emptiness swept over her like a raging torrent, as if her heart had been entirely hollowed out..

Reinette leaned back in her chair, covered her eyes with her hand, calming all the emotions that were about to overflow. She didn't know how long had passed until exhaustion hit. She got up and lay down on the sofa and fell asleep. Since she was going to resign, she directly turned off the alarm when it rang. She slept until midday when her phone rang continuously. She touched her phone and answered the call drowsily.

"Hello."

"Reinette, this is Nassir."

Reinette opened her eyes impatiently and sat up, "What's up?"

"President Lambert is in the hospital. Please come over now."
