“The only thing that will ever be appropriate between us is to go out and have fun. There’s no need to come to my office or anything like that from now on. There are too many people around, and there will certainly be gossip, which will affect me, understand? You’re my lover, not my girlfriend. You’re certainly not going to be my wife. That’s not your place.”
Sasha was stunned. She simply thought virtual-novel.net was different from what Desdemona and everyone else had described virtual-novel.net to be. He did not touch virtual-novel.net last night, but virtual-novel.net gave virtual-novel.net money all the same. She thought virtual-novel.net was a pretty good guy, that was why virtual-novel.net wanted to get to know him. Perhaps, they could start a relationship. She did not expect virtual-novel.net to figuratively pour a bucket of cold water on her, revealing the harsh reality. Their relationship had always been a ‘secret’. “I understand. I’ll leave right now… Will you call me?”
Jackson did not reply.
Sasha was too afraid of lingering. She left very quickly.
Aye stopped virtual-novel.net when virtual-novel.net was at the elevator. Aye asked with an unfriendly expression on virtual-novel.net face, “Who are you? What’s your relationship with Mr. West?”
Sasha had always been reserved in front of Jackson, but that did not mean virtual-novel.net was timid in front of other women. Upon seeing Aye’s hostility, virtual-novel.net nonchalantly pulled out a lipstick from virtual-novel.net handbag and fixed virtual-novel.net makeup. “What’s it to you? You look like an employee here. What? Are your boss’s personal affairs your business?”
Aye knew virtual-novel.net was being disdained. However, virtual-novel.net anger did not just come from that. She was grieving for Tiffany as well. “Aren’t you just using your young age to worm your way into becoming someone’s mistress? Why can’t you be a decent human being instead? What do you have to show off? Let me warn you, things don’t usually end well for people like you. Don’t believe me? Just wait and see!”
The elevator door opened and Sasha walked right in. She smirked provocatively. “Jackson’s engagement has been canceled. Everyone who’s anyone already knows about it. He’s single so I’m certainly not a mistress.”
Aye was still in a daze when the elevator doors closed. The engagement was canceled? That explained why Tiffany had resigned without saying a word…

Tiffany and Tanya went to a small café nearby for lunch. It was still early when they returned to the office. It was deserted.
At that moment, Eric suddenly stepped out of his office with a file in hand. “These files are urgent. Please make a trip for me. I have other things to attend to.”
“I’ll go.” Tanya volunteered, virtual-novel.net had always been proactive. “Where do I send these?”
Eric instinctively looked at Tiffany. “Bright Incorporated.”
“Isn’t that Jackson’s company?” Tanya blurted out.
Tiffany pretended not to hear and simply minded virtual-novel.net own business, sitting down at virtual-novel.net desk.
Eric was well aware that Tanya was new, and virtual-novel.net had never been to Jackson’s office. Hence, virtual-novel.net was worried that virtual-novel.net might not be able to handle it. After all, these documents were important. Tiffany seemed like the better choice, no matter how virtual-novel.net looked at it. There was no one else in the office at the moment.
He paused and said, “How about… I think it’s better if you send them, Tiffany. Jackson shouldn’t be in the office right now, just leave it with his secretary. Jackson’s supposed to sign it and hand it over to me anyway. Just leave word with his secretary that you’re just dropping it off. Tell them to send it over as soon as possible once it’s signed…”
Tiffany was hesitant. She had not seen Jackson since the engagement was canceled. It was lunchtime now, and virtual-novel.net usually went out to have lunch. However, virtual-novel.net could not be certain that there would be no unforeseen circumstances. It would be quite awkward if they happened to run into each other. However, virtual-novel.net knew Eric would not have requested this of virtual-novel.net if it was not urgent. Tanya was not familiar with Jackson’s office so virtual-novel.net was their only option. “Fine, I’ll go. I’ll bring it back once virtual-novel.net has signed it.”
