Chapter 10 Chapter 10 Just disappear

Between the lines, the meaning is profound.

After sensing the underlying message that Kimberly couldn't reject, she reluctantly smiled and said, "I'll try my best."

"I'll send you the address; come over early."

The call was hung up right after he finished, and very quickly, Jane sent the location.

Kimberly fixated her gaze on the message, her knuckles unconsciously tightened around her phone, turning somewhat pale.

Suddenly, someone patted her back. Nelson came close and said, "Looking so pale, is it that time of the month?"

Kimberly glanced at him displeasedly, not wanting to talk. She was just about to pick up her cup and leave when Nelson stretched a leg and blocked her way.

Frustrated, Kimberly asked, "Are you done?"

Nelson chuckled harmlessly, "Little friend, come. Let's have a meal together."

"I won't! I'm on a diet!"

Kimberly returned a big eye roll, stepped harshly onto his foot without any mercy, and passed by him.

Nelson instinctively retracted his foot, clenching his teeth in pain but not getting angry.

"Wow, didn't expect this little girl to be so wild."

Ambitious from such a young age and even wants to be his boss?

Watching Kimberly's retreating figure, he silently chuckled.

By the time it's off-duty, half of the colleagues haven't moved, overtime is the norm for programmers.

Kimberly sat at her seat, absent-mindedly looking at the keyboard, not wanting to get off work.

She had dinner scheduled for eight o'clock, but she continued to dawdle until past seven ten before going downstairs.

Just as she reached the parking lot, a black Porsche stopped at the elevator entrance as if it was waiting specifically for her.

Looking at the familiar license plate number, Kimberly was instantly frozen in place with shock in her eyes.

The man standing by the car, striding a few steps towards her with long legs, "Kimberly."

His voice was low and complex, and his pitch-black eyes were full of longing and desire for her.

They haven't met for nearly a week. She didn't answer calls or text messages.

Scott knew she was deliberately avoiding him!

Kimberly deliberately composed herself and looked up, "There's only half an hour before the dinner starts, Scott, instead of having a meal with your future in-laws, what's the deal with you bothering your ex-girlfriend?"

"Kimberly, why did you block me?"

His tone was as gentle as ever, just like he was coaxing a deliberately temperamental girlfriend.

The more he was like this, the more Kimberly felt the irony.

"We've broken up, why keep the number of an ex-boyfriend who's about to get married? Waiting for the day he gets upset by his wife and comes to me for comfort?"

She reached out and grabbed his tie in front, her smile exceptionally cynical.

"'Is it the one Hazel bought for you?' I bought you patterned ties like this before, but you said you didn't like them and never wore them. Yet now you are wearing the one bought by Hazel."

Upon hearing these words, Scott's expression stiffened, just as he wanted to speak, she interrupted him.

"I always thought I knew you very well, apparently not."

"I can't believe that my boyfriend, who always claims to love me, has been indulging in an international romance behind my back, and even has a girlfriend who he's planning to marry.

Everyone knows, except me, it sounds like a joke!"

"I've been with you for seven years, and now you're getting married. The bride is not me, which is fine, but it turns out to be my friend!"

"Scott, do you think I'm a fool?"

"Kim, I don't love her at all."

Scott inhales heavily, quickly grabs her hand, and looks at Kimberly with extremely fervent eyes.

"I'm wrong for making you suffer. You can be angry with me, hate me, I will accept it all, but you shouldn't hurt yourself this way."

"Kim, I only love you, can you believe me?"

It is indeed quite laughable that she is so heartbroken over a cheating jerk.

Most importantly, he doesn't seem to care about her at all.

If he really did care, it wouldn't have come to this.

It's all just the lies of a man!

Kimberly firmly broke free from his grasp, looking at the man she had deeply loved for over a decade, her eyes filled with sarcasm.

"No, what you love is inheriting the power of the Robinson family, not me. In your eyes, compared to power, I am insignificant, worth discarding at will. So, don't spew such words about loving me anymore, it makes me sick!"

She decisively turned and left, viciously wiping the tears from her face as she ran to her car. Quickly, she opened the door, ignited the engine, and sped off.

Driving fast all the way to the intersection, she stopped underneath the traffic lights; tears uncontrollably began to fall again.

Three days ago, Hazel confessed everything to her. Hazel and Scott had been dating overseas for two whole years, and she had been fooled for two years!

Thinking back, she was quite busy with her internship at that time, dizzy from the workload. Going to bed as soon as she got off work, barely had time to accompany Scott.

And even when her internship ended, she thought she had neglected him during that period. She made time to cook for him, accompanied him on business trips, and tried everything she could to compensate him.

Thinking about it now, it seemed laughable.

With a new lover by his side, would he still need her appeasement?

No wonder Hazel seldom contacted her during that time, even if she didn't initiate, Scott would not make any moves.

Only she, like a fool, stupidly believed him, thinking that he didn't disturb her because he was mindful of her troubles.

And he had always been reluctant to make their relationship public! Let's see who laughs last.
