She Gave Away My Watch, Engagement OverChapter 1
The wedding date was approaching, and a notice was posted in the company group. All employees would receive a half-year bonus of 14 thousand dollars and a seven-day trip to Bali.
[Thank you, Miss Wallace, you’re so generous!]
[Miss Wallace chose Bali—does that mean he’s going to hold the wedding there with Mr. Benneth?]
[Definitely, I heard they were childhood sweethearts and already engaged.]
[Blue seas, blue skies, and sandy beaches—it’ll definitely be romantic!]
Just as everyone was cheering with excitement, Megan’s assistant, Brian Carter, sent a message.
[Miss Wallace, I’ve only been working here for less than three months, so I guess the half-year bonus doesn’t apply to me, right?]
Megan, who almost never spoke in the group, replied for once.
[As long as you’ve done work, there will be a reward.]
At the time, I was just surprised and didn’t think much of it.
The next day, the HR manager secretly told me that Mrs. Wallace had someone else in mind for the director position.
I was really upset. Clearly, that position had been reserved for me, so why did she change her choice?
I went to ask the reason, but unexpectedly overheard her talking with her best friend.
"Megan, you’re really generous. You knew Brian’s mother urgently needed 14 thousand dollars for surgery and you were afraid he’d be too embarrassed to accept it, so you came up with this way to help him and on the fifteenth of last month, when he broke his leg, you stayed in the hospital with him for half a month. At the time, Raymond still thinks you were abroad."
It felt like I had fallen into an ice hole, my whole body turning cold.
So last month, when she claimed to be abroad on business and missed my mother’s funeral, it was only to take care of her male assistant.
Megan gave a careless smile. "Enough, Raymond loves to get jealous the most. If he hears this, he’ll start sulking with me again."
I pressed my lips together and took out my phone to make a call. "Dad, I’ve decided. Cancel the engagement with the Wallace Family."
Since Megan liked helping others, then I would just let her have her way.
