Love Together, Be With You Never

A series of loud bangs came.

I got hit again and again. Then there was an acute pain. It turned out a thermos was smashed onto my head. After it fell to the ground with a thud, the lid was knocked off, and the water splashed all over me. Eaten up with anger, I looked up coldly at the bullies who were throwing things at me with coldness in their eyes. Bracing the ongoing attack, I walked towards them and said word by word, "Who threw that thermos at me?"

My head was killing me, but my gaze was firm and unforgiving as I scanned them one by one. The turmoil melted away, and no one dared to throw anything at me. They were all looking down awkwardly in fear.

It dawned on me I had to push back when being bullied.

Everly took a step forward and sneered, "I believe we are kind of obligated to loathe you for the diabolical things you have done!"

I slapped her.

Before she could finish speaking, I smacked her cheek. Then I said with a chilly stare, "Ms. Everly, mark you, you have no right to hit me no matter how degenerate I get. Furthermore, I seriously suspect you slapped me for your own gain. It's about Kieran after all. Am I right?" My eyes were on her the whole time, and they were as icy as icy could be.

It wasn't my intention to fall out hard with Everly. But the project and the slap were too much for me. Besides, she got the crowd on her side, so if I didn't fight back, I would never find my place here. "You dared to hit me!" Everly covered her face in disbelief.

Everyone in the office was dumbfounded. Apparently, no one had assumed I had the nerve to do that.

I sneered, "An eye for an eye. Also, please get out of my way when I look for the person who just threw a thermos at me, unless you want me to call the police!"

With that, I looked away from her and swept the room. They were all struck dumb, and I threatened them with a frightening cold look, "Who hit me with a thermos? Show yourself, or I will inform the authorities right now. I firmly believe Kieran and Universal Group wouldn't accommodate a lawless thug!"

"It was me!" A guilty low voice sounded. I recognized her as Everly's assistant, Yana.

Yana was around 30 and had been married for quite some time. She had a daughter, and her husband was a civil servant. She was not rich but loved to show off. She hated to be embarrassed in public and was eager to get promoted. Therefore, she tried her best to please Everly!

Step by step, I walked to Yana and slowly smiled, my eyes showing no emotion, "Why did you hit me with that?"

She snorted coldly and turned the screen of her computer to me. I took a look at it and was petrified. My nude photos were all over it.

In them, I was hugging strange men erotically, naked. Moreover, some of them were with Marlon and Kaleb.

"You slut! You have fooled around with so many men, including your sister's fiancé. Where are your shame and moral standards?" Yana righteously lashed out.

"Right, you even wouldn't let go of your sister's fiancé, who is going to be your family. You are utterly despicable!"

"That is not enough to describe her. She is simply a heartless snake!" Yana was echoed with indignation.

"You should consider it mercy we just hit you, you dirty bitch!" Yana said aggressively.

I squinted at the photos and figured they must be from Alicia. She must be pissed by what I had done in the morning and edited the photos to besmirch me. I sneered. Fine, Alicia, I would play the game with you. The longer it got, the more fun we would have.

"I feel sick just by looking at you. Scumbag, you are dirtying the air around you. You should get out immediately!"

I slapped Yana.

I didn't let her finish her words.

"You...." I slapped her again just as she opened her mouth. The crisp and loud sound echoed through the huge office.

I shook my hand that had landed on her face and looked up at her with a smile. "Yana, who gave you the right to hit me with a thermos and school me?"

She was intimidated by the coldness around me.

My smile grew more triumphant. I lifted her chin and spoke word by word, "Mind you, you're nothing!" I swept the stupefied crowd and slowly said, "Kieran has never said anything to upset me. You actually threw things at me. A thermos, even. Tell me what you think Kieran will do to you if I have a concussion."

Panic touched Yana's eyes, as if she had been looking at a demon.

I smiled brightly at her with a stare, "Yana, I think I am feeling dizzy. Have you really done some damage to my head? I'm so scared. I'd better call Kieran and let him take me to the hospital!"

I elegantly took out my phone from my pocket and dialed Kieran's number, turning on the speakerphone. The moment the call was connected, I cried out in a whining voice, "Kieran, I just got hit by a thermos and am feeling woozy. I think it is a concussion. Darling, can I fire the person who hit me?"

"You can do anything to make yourself happy!" Kieran's voice was charming and magnetic.

"Mr. Charles, I know I was wrong. Don't fire me, please!" Yana freaked out.

I hung up the phone and sat down gracefully. I gently rubbed the spot that had been hit and looked at her panicked face. "Save it. He can't hear you!"

"Ms. Cornell, I was wrong. I have made a terrible mistake. I beg you. Don't let Mr. Charles fire me, please!" She pleaded to me with tears streaming down her cheeks.

She didn't come from money. Universal Group offered salaries four times that of the average one. Everyone dreamed of working here. No wonder she didn't want to leave.

Everyone else was dumbfounded. They hadn't expected I would call Kieran or he doted on me so much.

Although I felt extremely guilty about losing control in front of him after I had gotten wasted last night, so much so that I didn't even dare to see him again, but I was sure he would play along when it came to the show we were putting on. Besides, I knew firing Yana was no big deal to him, because thousands of her like would follow. It wouldn't hurt his interests, so he would do me the favor.

I looked at Yana with a smile. "I, not Kieran, want to sack you!"
