Chapter 21 Mutual Enemy
Lance’s face turned really ugly, he must have not expected me to be that harsh.
I stared at me hard and left me alone in the office. I sighed in relief.
My stomach was growling in hunger. I didn’t have mood to work anymore and went to the KFC store
opposite of the office. I bought a burger and sat there eating alone.
I swiped my Instagram while eating, I don’t really use Facebook much. I use it to contact my friends
only. As for work, I use WhatsApp to contact my clients. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
Facebook sent me a notification telling me that it was my birthday. Oh right, my birthday, the 17th.
Leo used to wish me birthday or even fly back in secret and celebrate it with me. Now he’s already
someone else’s husband. Nobody would call me and say: “Happy Birthday, Jennie Gomez.” Anymore.
There’s no point celebrating birthday alone, plus I was never an extrovert so I didn’t have many friends.
The naïve little me used to think that having Leo was enough.
Now Leo didn’t want me anymore. I realized how lonely it was.
Finishing the burger off, I went back to office. After the incident in the office just now, I didn’t have the
mood to continue working anymore. I cleaned my desk and informed Wendy that I was feeling sick so I
needed to go home.
Wendy looked at me with sorry eyes and said: “Jennie, I can’t decide for you, you need to talk to boss.”
It was actually only 30 minutes to the end of office hours, but perhaps I just remembered that it was my
birthday and decided to go home earlier. I planned to buy a small cake by the road side and celebrate it
myself. Since no one love me, I should love myself right?
I knocked on Lance’s office door. “Come in.”
I pushed the door open and he looked at me from his desk. “Yes?”
“Boss, I’m not feeling well, can I leave early?”
He didn’t answer me immediately, he looked at his watch and said: “Only 30 minutes left, what’s the
rush?”
“Boss, I’m not feeling well.” I said once again.
Lance stood up and wore his coat. “Follow me.”

“I really am sick.” I said, again.
Perhaps I repeated twice, he seemed annoyed. “I’m not deaf you know. Who’s the boss now?”
He walked to me and said: “Let’s go!”
We left the office and I entered his car.
“This is the route to the cite.” I said.
“Did I say we are going there?” he asked back.
“Then where are you bringing me?” I asked.
“You’ll see.” Lance answered.
Since he didn’t want to tell me, then I stopped asking. He asked me in the afternoon, what he is most
afraid of. Of course I know. People like him are most afraid of getting bored and have nothing to do. He
said I was his most interesting toy.
He treated me like his personal toy. “You’re calm, are you not afraid that I’m going to sell you?” he took
a glance at me.
I smiled. “Impossible. I’m not worth a lot.”
“Well, you seem to know yourself a lot.” He smirked.
I sighed and said: “Yea, I know my status and my place.” I sounded sad.
Lance didn’t say anything after that.
He stopped his car at a luxurious clothing store. “What?” I asked in confusion.
