For a long time, the office was quiet.
Only then did I hear Seth say, "If you do think so, I will respect your decision. But..." He paused and continued, "If you can't pretend anymore one day and you believe that I can survive from Patrick and protect you, remember to come back to my side."
His words made me extremely guilty.
I didn't remember how I had left his office that day.
But as soon as I returned to the villa, I took off all my clothes and got changed with my cheap dress.
This was who I was.
In the next month, I didn't know how I had made it.
I couldn't even find a reason to live on.
Seth would occasionally call me. If I didn't answer his call, he would text me.
I didn't get back to him either.
One day, I received a call from Angie.
As soon as I answered her phone, she scolded me.
Only then did I know that something had happened to Glorious Seth Design.
I had done as Patrick said. And I had resigned from Glorious Seth Design. I just stayed at home and wasted the time of my life away.
Even so, he was not satisfied. And he still made his move on Glorious Seth Design.
Someone maliciously publicized a scandal of Glorious Seth Design on the Internet, making Glorious Seth Design lose a lot of customers.
And now Glorious Seth Design was on the verge of collapsing.
I wasn't convinced by Angie's words.
But she asked me to take a look at Glorious Seth Design in person!
I went there to have a check. When I saw all the designers sitting in the office, I knew what Angie had said was true.
Everyone looked at me with hostility in their eyes.
Someone passed by and splashed a cup of coffee on me, who then apologized in a strange tone, "Oh, it's you, Mrs. Cowell. I didn't see you."
I didn't blame them.
