"If I hadn't seen you guys together, would you have planned to hide it from me forever? Did you two plan on cheating behind my back?! Every time you said that you were on a business trip, you came to see her, didn't you? Every time you worked overtime, you went to keep her company, right?"
Lumi finally voiced out all the suspicions in her heart.
She did not need to hold back any longer.
Perhaps she used to believe every word Samuel said.
But now, if Samuel's mind wandered off when he was with her, Lumi would doubt if he was regretting that she was not Kirsi.
Samuel's face stiffened and turned slightly pale.
He was also anxious. "No, never! I’m not that nasty!"
Samuel gritted his teeth, frowned at her, and took a step forward, wanting to touch her shoulder to soothe her.
However, Lumi took a step back and avoided his touch.
His eyes were sore. He clenched his fists and spoke patiently.
"I only went to pester her shortly after our wedding, but later on, I made it clear to her. We never crossed paths again since then. Running into her this time was just a coincidence. She had offended someone, so they wanted to blacklist her. That's why I took her to a social engagement to back her up. We haven't even met at the hotel these days. I came here because of a last-minute arrangement with clients. I didn’t tell you that I was back from my business trip because I was afraid that you'd misunderstand...”
By the end of the sentence, Samuel's voice was hoarse.
"I came here today to discuss something with the director. It’s not what you think..."
He looked at Lumi and felt complicated and torn.
At first, Samuel thought that it was easy to get Lumi's unconditional trust.
However, after he broke up with Kirsi and put more effort into his marriage, he finally realized how despicable he was.
Kirsi had been in the entertainment industry for a while, so she had a lot of stories. At first, Samuel found that kind of complexity really attractive.
However, Lumi was very different from Kirsi. She was naive, kind, ?g'?TLR< thought the best about everyone. Her world was spotless.
