Chapter 3
Darren lowered his voice and coaxed her, “There really is work that needs to be done, can’t delay the secretary, why would I lie to you?”
Elaine just wouldn’t give up, right?!
otherwise, I could just hire another
“Since we can’t fire her, how about making her loneel at the company entrance for a day as punishment? That should work,
This time, Darren agreed, loolding at Isabela,
raday”
“These contracts are crucial for our cooperation. If you didn’t keep them safe, you either pay so million or kneel at the door for a
Isabela knew he was just trying to get back at Elaine, that’s why he forced her to make a choice.
But she couldn’t come up with the fifty million no matter what, so she struggled to get up, endured the humiliation, and knelt down at the door.
She lowered her head, covering the bitter emotions in her eyes, and heard the gossip of her colleagues coming and going
“Wasn’t she Mr. Cressey’s most trusted secretary? How come she’s loseeling here, with so many people watching, it’s so embarrassing!”
“I just saw it, she didn’t do anything wrong, she just offended Ms. Reilly and got punished.”
“Ms. Reilly was Mr. Cressey’s crash for so many years. Even after all this time, he still can’t forget her. She dared to offend Ms. Reilly, so she deserves to be punished!”
Word by word, like noodles stabbing into Isabela’s heart, making it hard for her to breathe.
She suddenly remembered back in school, on Elaine’s birthday, she was teased by a few boys, saying she was “the pile of cow dung that contrasts with
the school flower.”
The room was filled with laughter, she hurriedly escaped to the stairwell.
Darren found her and handed her a pack of tissues.
“Don’t worry about others, focus on yoursell, that’s good enough!”
To this day, Isabela still remembers this sentence.
She always thought, “Darren stayed by her side because he saw the shining points in her, so she worked hard and diligently for him.”
When Elaine came back, be just denied all her efforts and sacrifices over the years for Elaine
Yeah, she was just a secretary who could be fired at any time.

Isabela knelt for a whole day, her lees were scraped bloody, she couldn’t even walk because of the pain.
When she limped back to the office to get her bag after work, she ran into Darren
He looked at the wounds of her body, and furrowed his brows slightly.
“I’m giving you a few days off to rest and recover. Come back to the company when you’re feeling better.”
Isabela whispered, “It’s nothing,” without looking at him, then quietly turned and left.
Alter she got home, she cleaned up the wound and then started parking lier bags.
The day news came back that Elaine was going home, Darren immediately told her to move out of the villa
She left in a hurry, stuffing everything into the box, all jumbled up.
Now it’s time to go back to my hometown and tidy up a bit.
She threw away the necklace jewelry Barren gave her over the past few years, secretly took a photo of him while he was sleeping, the secret crush diary she wrote in school, and other miscellaneous items.
During that time, she would occasionally see gossip shared by colleagues in the company’s small group chat,
Haine came back from shopping with sore logs, Darren was hall kuweeling on the ground massaging them for her; she complained about the bright lights in the office, he immediately had the lights in the entire building replaced overnight; when she was in a bad mood, he canceled all his work and meetings

After recovering from the injury, it was time for the company’s a
Darren took Elaine to the event, and there was a loud applause. Everyone was saying they were a perfect match, a match made in heaven.
He helped Elaine off the stage, fixed her dress, took off his coat and put it on her, and shielded her from the drinks offered by others….
Isabela sat in the corner, watching the smile that played on Darren’s lips and in his eyes, she quietly lowered her gaze.
Soon, the annual meeting moved on to the award presentation.
Isabela still got the “Best Employee Award” as usual.
She stepped onto the stage in front of everyone, and slides showing her work achievements of the year were also displayed on the screen.
Isabela adjusted the microphone, about to make a speech, when suddenly there was a commotion in the audience.
Everyone was whispering and looking at her with strange eyes.
