Chapter 2 Blood Roses
As I walked out of Mr. Galer’s office, I heard people talking about me under their breath as I tried to fix my dress.
I hurried back to my desk, not saying a word. A middle-aged man’s voice came from behind me.
“Don’t pack up your things just yet. There’s a meeting at 5:30.”
A chorus of complaints buzzed.
Three hours later, in the restroom near the company, I vomited.
Brushing aside the disheveled hair, the mirror reflected a shattered and cold face.
It’s just this beautiful face that earned me the opportunity to be promoted after just a week of internship.
At the meeting, my colleagues chimed in with Mr. Galer’s praise of me. After Mr. Galer left, everyone started chanting, “Let’s go out for a treat!”
They chose the most expensive restaurant. Women sat to the side, mocking and ridiculing, while men crowded around, pouring drinks for me.
It was all routine for me.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
When I left the restroom, the people in the private room had already left, leaving behind a mess.
I summoned the waiter and paid a large sum in cash from my pocket.
I am not short of money, because there are always men around me who force money on me just to get a taste of my beauty.
Exiting the restaurant, a car stopped as I raised my hand. I got in and opened the food delivery app.
A table full of delicacies, yet I didn’t take a single bite. My hunger grew.
After ordering, I closed my eyes and leaned back on the rear seat, my head spinning.
Alertness made me forcefully open my eyes, finding a pair of unfriendly eyes in the rearview mirror.
“Stop the car.” I saw the driver turning off the road to my house.
Silence reigned ahead; the car sped through the night.
Suddenly, the phone rang. I reflexively answered.
“Hello, your delivery has arrived. The security won’t open the door; please come down to pick it up.”
“Hey, Bro, I’m in the taxi now, you come to the intersection to pick me up.” I shouted into the phone, sitting up straight.
Ten minutes later, I stumbled down from the car, still shaken.
