On the day of the company’s celebration party, our president’s first love came back. The man who was still affectionate with me the night before rushed down the podium and hugged her tightly in front of the whole company. During the banquet, I wanted to help him drink, but he scolded me in public, “You don’t have to come today. Go back and reflect on yourself!” Looking at his ruthless and cold face, I felt bitter. I loved him for seven years, but it ended up like this. The strong liquor burned my throat. Seeing Spencer Scott’s look of being so happy about Taylor Xavier’s return that he lost his composure, I knew I had lost. Over the years, I had been with Spencer from the start of the company to its rise to the top in the industry. On countless late nights, I stayed up late until I suffered from insomnia and hair loss just to help him get a difficult order. He said that I was the most important person in his life. He also said that he would talk to me about marriage after the celebration party. Before the banquet started, I was really looking forward to it. I thought that the relationship I insisted on unilaterally would finally have a good result. But I was really wrong, so wrong. I called a number I hadn’t called in a long time. “Dad…” I choked up and couldn’t speak. My dad sighed, “You miss home, right?” I wiped my tears and tried to smile and said, “Dad, I miss you. I want to go home.” Of course, my dad could tell that I was in a bad mood. So, he comforted me. “You can come home anytime! My daughter shouldn’t be aggrieved.” I stabilized my emotions and said with a smile, “It’s okay, Dad. I’ll go home after I deal with some things.” I hadn’t seen my dad for a long time. He tried his best to stop me from helping Spencer at all costs. He said that he knew the minds of men. What you can’t get is the best. He said that people like me who gave everything would get nothing in the end. But my mom also pursued him for ten years before they got married. My dad didn’t explain in detail but only said that my mom suffered a lot. I didn’t understand it at that time. Now I finally understood how bitter it was to love but not get it. After talking to my dad on the phone, I returned to the celebration party. When I was about to leave, I was forced to witness Spencer’s affectionate confession. Spencer held Taylor’s face. They looked at each other lovingly. Taylor stood in the spotlight like a princess. She said coquettishly, “Spencer, I will never leave again. We will be together forever.” Spencer’s nod was like a knife stabbing my heart again. “Taylor, I’ve been waiting for you to come back. I miss you so much.” “I miss you too!” If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed that the cold president of the Scott Group, Spencer, could say such cheesy and sweet words. He always looked serious when facing me. I thought it was his nature. It turned out that he was not incapable of saying sweet words but just didn’t want to say them to me. At the end of the party, Spencer got drunk. Everyone subconsciously looked at me and waited for me to clean up the mess. I sighed, resignedly carried Spencer on my shoulders, and prepared to take a taxi to take him home. Taylor looked me up and down carefully and sneered, “Are you the legendary hardworking secretary Quiana Yost? How can you be worthy of the Scott Group with your shabby appearance?” I sneered, “You don’t need to worry about work.” Taylor lowered her eyes. “Do you think I don’t know that you are Spencer’s secretary on the surface but actually his lover? Who are you showing off this noble attitude to? Shame on you.” She looked down at me with her usual attitude. “You must be jealous that Spencer treats me so well.” Then she showed the shining diamond ring on her ring finger, which showed her status and the love she had. My eyes were slightly sour, but I just smiled. “How could it be? You and Mr. Scott are a perfect match, and you will be happy forever.” I took Spencer back to the home where we had lived for three years. I turned around and left after I put him down. Spencer held my wrist and wouldn’t let me go. He pulled the tie on his chest nervously, muttering, “Quiana… Quiana…” My breath stagnated, and I leaned close to his lips.
His hands brushed my cheeks, and our hair tangled together. He kissed me softly on my lips. My waist softened, and I subconsciously put my hands on the side of his neck. He pressed me down. As our ears rubbed against each other, the smell of cedar and green-orange intertwined. But the next second, I heard clearly the words he said, “Dear Taylor.” I felt like I was falling into an ice cave. I pushed him away and rushed to the bathroom. The cold water washed over my head and face, and I was shivering with cold. But only in this way could my brain be clearer. I thought to myself, “Don’t be stupid again, Quiana. If you want to let go, don’t think about looking back.” I packed my luggage until dawn. I carried my bag and prepared to go to the company. Spencer came out of the bathroom and stood in front of me with one hand wiping his wet hair. His tone was still as cold as before, but the content was surprisingly gentle. “It happened suddenly yesterday. I shouldn’t have been so harsh to you.” I restrained my expression. “I understand. It’s normal to be emotional when you meet your first love again.” He frowned slightly. “Are you mocking me?” I didn’t want to talk to him anymore and reached out to push him away. “You’re overthinking it. I’m going to work.” But he kept getting closer to me. He was 6.1 feet tall and sturdy. He held me in front of him. “You don’t need to go to work. Resign. You don’t have to take care of the company’s affairs again.” I was stunned. I asked in disbelief, “Who will take over?” Spencer hesitated for a second, then said, “Taylor. She studied MBA abroad and has rich experience.” How ridiculous! I tried to train new people to take over my position as assistant to the president before. But Spencer had a cold personality, and he knew it himself. He wanted others to know from his expression whether he wanted coffee, cut down the project, or add investment. Who could stand it? A newbie like Taylor who had never worked before? I suppressed my anger and said indifferently, “It’s hard to judge. I wish her success.” Spencer came closer but didn’t see the reaction he wanted from my face. After a long pause, he added another condition. “You must teach Taylor all relevant professional skills before you leave.” I pursed my lips. “No.” “I’ll give you one million dollars.” I laughed in anger. “Mr. Scott, do you think I need the one million dollars?” He snorted coldly, “Then what have you been doing with me for so many years? Isn’t it just for these benefits from me?” Benefits? I stared at his eyes, trying to find a hint of a joke in them. But no. He was serious. I followed him for seven years. Four years on campus and three years of entrepreneurship. I was like a lackey, full of him in my heart. People who knew me knew that I really liked him. But Spencer thought I was being with him just for benefits. What were these seven years for me then? Unlucky for me. I laughed so hard that tears came out. “One million dollars is too little. I want five million dollars.” “Okay.” When I signed the resignation letter, I was relieved. I waited in the office for more than an hour before Taylor came in with a nonchalant look on her face. I got straight to the point. “Here are the documents you need to be familiar with. Read them today.” But she didn’t even look at them. She pouted and said, “Why do I need to do these jobs? I’m the boss’ wife. Let the employees do these things.” The veins on my forehead popped out. “I don’t care if you will be the boss’ wife in the future, but you are the president’s assistant now. You should do what you should do in this position.” But she just thought I was deliberately making things difficult for her. She went to Spencer’s office. It was during working hours, but she still got into his arms and acted like a spoiled child. “Spencer, Quiana is making things difficult for me. She wants to assign me a lot of work. I can’t do it.” I stood in front of Spencer with the documents in my hand. “This is my teaching style. If you don’t like it, you can ask someone else.” Spencer never looked at me, just consoling Taylor in his arms. “If you are tired, take a rest. There is no rush.” I clenched the documents in my hand and turned to leave. But the thing I least wanted to see still happened. Even though I helped Taylor with the aftermath, she still got into big trouble.
I warned her many times, but she still published the company secrets that must not be leaked on the company’s official website. I took the most urgent measures, but I still couldn’t avoid being held accountable. She cried and put all the blame on me. “Quiana didn’t tell me. I didn’t know. Spencer, blame me if you want to.” He looked up at me with his cold eyes. I had been with him for so many years. How could I not see the doubt in his eyes? I stepped forward to confront him in disbelief. “Spencer, when have I ever made such a low-level mistake in all the years that I have worked with you?” His index finger tapped the table. It was his habitual action when thinking. But I still thought it was ridiculous. He not only doubted my feelings for him but even doubted my most basic professional ethics! I looked into his eyes and said, “Have you lost your sense of right and wrong for her?” Spencer’s face clearly flashed a trace of hesitation, but it disappeared in an instant. “No matter what, you are the one who taught Taylor. If she makes a mistake, you will definitely be the first to be held accountable. Just apologize on the official website. No one will say anything.” He knew very well whose fault it was, but he still chose me as a scapegoat without hesitation. Was the difference between love and not love? It was so big. I was shaking with anger. “I have told her this ten times. Even an idiot should have learned it. Why do you ask me to apologize?” Taylor picked up the ink bottle on the table and smashed it on me. She cursed sharply, “You bitch. You can’t teach well yourself, but you blame me.” Her words were dirty and unpleasant, but I ignored them. I just stared at Spencer’s face. But he only cared about the ink stains on Taylor’s hands, carefully wiping her fingers one by one. “Spencer!” “Just do it.” The string in my heart broke. The back of my head felt like it had been hit hard, and it hurt so much. I held back my tears and went forward, smashing the bank card with five million dollars in it in his face. “I won’t apologize. I can’t teach her. Mr. Scott, please ask someone else.” He was obviously a little guilty, looking at me as if he was enduring something. But in the end, he still didn’t say anything. I didn’t want to look back, so I didn’t see the reluctance in his eyes. After leaving the company, I leaned against the big tree at the door for a long time, still felt nauseous, and couldn’t stop wanting to retch. Suddenly, I covered my abdomen, and a sense of uneasiness surged in my heart. I was actually two months pregnant. We took protective measures every time, but no contraceptive method was absolute after all. If it was before, maybe I would have given birth to the child without even thinking about it. But now, I didn’t want to. A week after I made an appointment for an abortion, I was notified to come for surgery. When I entered the hospital with the pregnancy test report, I ran into Taylor. I turned around and left, but she still saw me. She rushed in front of me and said in a stern tone, “Today is Spencer’s regular stomach check-up time. What are you doing here? You’ve been fired. Did you follow him to the hospital? Are you still thinking about seducing Spencer?” I didn’t want to talk to her. She took the pregnancy test report from my hand. “You are pregnant!” Taylor shouted in surprise, “Go to get an abortion! I won’t allow my future husband to have a child outside.” “A child outside?” Spencer heard the argument and came over. I quickly snatched the pregnancy test report and stuffed it into my bag. Spencer’s eyes lingered on my abdomen for a long time. I gritted my teeth secretly and turned my face away from him. I didn’t want him to know of the existence of this child. Taylor folded his hands and said sarcastically, “Quiana said she wanted to give birth to a child for a married man in the future. I said that this is not good.” Spencer was suddenly shocked, and he said in a heavier tone, “Children should not be a means for gold diggers to get married. Even if they are born, they will not be recognized.” My abdomen suddenly felt a sharp pain. “You are so nosy. Even if I choose an old and ugly rich man now, you can’t control it.” Spencer’s breathing stagnated, and he stepped forward to pull hold wrists. “You can’t give up on yourself like this.” I pried his fingers apart one by one, and a smile appeared on my pale face. “It’s none of your business.” His eyes were deep, and he seemed to have a lot to say. “Quiana…” I didn’t want to listen, so I turned around and left. But Taylor actually pushed me from behind while I was going down the stairs. The sound in my ears was buzzing, and I couldn’t hear it clearly. “Ah! It wasn’t me. I didn’t touch Quiana!” “If anything happens to Quiana, I’ll kill you!” I fell down the stairs and lay in a pool of blood. Then, my vision became blurred. In a trance, I seemed to see Spencer losing his composure and rushing towards me in a hurry, without his usual rationality and elegance. When I opened my eyes again, I found myself lying on a white hospital bed. I touched my stomach. I could feel that the child had left me. Fine. There was one less thing to worry about between him and me. Spencer sat beside me. Seeing that I woke up, he blew on the soup and raised his hand to feed me. I raised my hand in resistance and overturned the soup cup. The chicken soup he had carefully cooked was spilled all over the floor. He didn’t even frown. He just asked me if I was hungry. I said defensively, “You don’t have to be so hypocritical.” A trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, and just as he was about to explain, his phone suddenly rang. “Take some rest. I’ll be back.” I looked around, and it was full of snacks that I loved to eat. If it weren’t for the people who had lived with me before, they would never know my preferences. The tenderness that I had always dreamed of was now in front of me. But I just felt that he had other intentions. My colleague sent a message on my phone: [Quiana, the video of you and Mr. Scott has gone viral in the company!] My heart tightened. It turned out to be a video of Spencer and me being intimate in the company a month ago. It was spread by someone and labeled as indecent. It had caused a great impact, and even the investors of the Scott Group knew about it. I seemed to know why Spencer suddenly changed and became so gentle to me. He was in the golden period of his career development. If there was a scandal, he could only be temporarily hidden. Otherwise, it was easy to piss everyone off. It was impossible to suppress it, so he could only come out to clarify. But what could he clarify? Our relationship was not pure to begin with. I smiled bitterly when I remembered that when Taylor made a mistake, he decisively pushed me out to take the blame. Maybe he was using the same old trick again. I was discharged from the hospital before Spencer came back after answering the phone. I sent the packed luggage back to my home. Before boarding the plane, I asked my colleague to post a statement in the company chat group: [For three years, I deliberately approached Spencer. The video that was circulated recently was also me seducing him. Now, I have resigned. I have cut off all ties with the Scott Group and have nothing to do with it. Please don’t spread the relevant information.] My dad picked me up in person and took me back to our old house. The next morning, I received a call from Spencer. His tone was more flustered than I had ever heard. “Quiana, where have you been? Who allowed you to do this?”
