He was late for work and didn't have time to clock in.
But he, who had stayed up all night to entertain clients the night before, gave me a heads-up in advance in the morning.
Gavin was slapping him in the face.
It was also a slap in my face.
When this matter was revealed on Eileen's account, she changed the whole storyline.
She became a poor female employee who had almost been sexually harassed, and a bossy president rescued her.
Gavin had become a hero.
However, the veteran was overwhelmed by public opinion and thus lived in shame.
He couldn't survive in this industry, so he could only change his track and made a living with difficulty.
At this moment, abuse was all over the internet.
It was more and more rampant amid Gavin's silence.
I rubbed my swollen temples.
I felt a little regretful.
I shouldn't have deleted his phone number that early.
I could only send a message to Eileen.
"Tell Gavin that I want a divorce."
While pressing the send button, I was surprisingly calm.
I had once thought that I would never say anything like that.
When he came back, I was asleep on the lounge chair.
I was woken up by his kiss.
He reeked of alcohol.
"Honey, are you really angry? Don't be angry. Come and kiss me..."
As he spoke, he slowly approached me.
I frowned and held back my discomfort.
"Get lost!" I pushed him away.
In the next second, Gavin frowned with dissatisfaction and looked impatient.
"Don't push your luck."
"You agreed to let us advertise the company in this way before."
"You've gone too far today. I've apologized. What else do you want?"
I stared at him indifferently.
"Apologize?"
What a joke.
His apology didn't worth a penny.
The trending topics of scolding me were going viral.
No one dealt with it.
Seeing that I was really angry, he moved closer and wanted to kiss me.
Since the college days, every time we quarreled, he would kiss me no matter what, calming me down.
But now I didn't need it anymore.
His mouth reeking of alcohol was disgusting!
"You want me to make a scene, don't you?"
"It can also help you and Eileen become more popular."
"I'll say it again. Get out of here and let's get a divorce."
This was the house I bought myself.
Anger burned in his eyes.
"Scarlett Reid, don't be ungrateful!"
"If I step out of this house today, I won't come back even if you beg me!"
I had been staying at Jenica's place for the next few days.
The public opinion online had reached its peak.
