“I had a friend specially make this. It'll protect you forever and keep us happy for life!”
That red string looked all too familiar.
Only then did Wanda let out a breath of relief. Then she said, “Quick, come to the office with me. You should hand over your work to Julian."
"Take some time to rest. Once he gets familiar with the business and things have calmed down, you can go back to the company. You're my fiancé. I won't let you suffer any losses.”
Hearing her, I almost laughed out loud. I had already suffered, so what kind of guarantee was that?
When we arrived at the company, I walked into my office and saw Julian sitting in my chair as if he were the big boss. His feet propped up on my desk.
“Are you angry right now? Are you furious? Someone as incompetent as you should have been fired long ago.”
"Your position is already mine and soon …. so is your fiancée."
A taunting smile lifted at the corner of his mouth. It seemed he was waiting for me to lose my temper.
“Have you finished?” I asked calmly. "Then we can proceed to the handover."
Julian looked displeased.
“Hmph! What is the use of handing over simple work like yours? Give me a break!”
His face filled with disdain.
Hearing this, I just turned around to leave.
"Hold it!"
Julian became even more irritated. He lunged forward to grab my shoulder. But he lost his footing, sent him tumbling out of the office and landed flat on his face.
He grimaced in pain.
"Julian!"
Right then, Wanda came. She shoved me aside abruptly.
"Tristan!"
“You've gone too far! I asked you to hand over work to him, not to bully him!”
"Clearly, you're in the wrong first. How dare you pick on him?”
“If you have a problem, take it out on me!”
As she said that, with an anxious expression on her face, she helped Julian up.
Since she said this loudly, the commotion attracted the attention of the senior executives in the surrounding offices. And they all stuck their head out from their offices.
“You don't even ask what happened first before accusing me?” I couldn't help but retort.
Wanda froze. She finally turned to look at Julian with an inquiring gaze.
"Wanda, I'm sorry, I caused you trouble again.”
Julian apologized first, then, taking advantage of the situation, he shifted the blame and slandered me. "Tristan was angry and didn't want to hand over the work to me properly, so we had a conflict."
“He didn't push me—I tripped during the argument.”
