I really wish time could turn back.
If time could go back three years ago, I swear I wouldn’t go to that class reunion. I wouldn’t have any relationship with him.
My heart seemed to be bleeding, and the pain made it difficult for me to breathe.
Worried about affecting the baby, I made a great effort to adjust my emotions and then got up to go to the bathroom to freshen up.
I took a contraceptive pill and was sitting on the sofa daydreaming when suddenly my phone rang.
I instinctively lowered my gaze and saw a transfer message.
Reynaldo transferred one hundred thousand to me.
He said last night that if I behaved well and obediently with him, he would give me additional rewards.
This one hundred thousand, was his payment for me accompanying him to sleep.
I self–mockingly tugged at my lips.
The man transferred the money at this time, just to humiliate me.
Because I had just said that I was disgusted by his touch, he deliberately transferred money to me to make me understand that I was just a prostitute who sold her body for money.
I leaned against the back of the sofa and laughed at myself mockingly, but tears uncontrollably streamed down.
Oh, Reynaldo.
You wait, wait until I save enough money and come up with a way to escape.
I would definitely escape far away and never let myself be humiliated by you again.
The next day, I got up early and went to work.
The weather really cooled down.
When I went out, I put on a thin coat.
During this period, I really lost weight. My old clothes became a size too big.
I deliberately found a small cushion and stuffed it into my clothes. It was great, and you couldn’t tell at all.
In this case, even if the belly really grew bigger later, it wouldn’t be very noticeable.
However, if I had to get along with Reynaldo, he would still be able to tell, even without the cover of clothes.
My good mood disappeared in an instant. I irritably threw the cushion onto the sofa and then left the house.
Gossip is popular everywhere, as expected.
I had just arrived at the secretary’s office when I heard them gossiping
about me.
Someone said that I didn’t come to work yesterday because I was kicked out by Reynaldo.
I looked at his cold back and felt a pain in my heart again.
I don’t know how long it would take for this kind of pain to completely dissipate.
“Hey, hey, what happened to Mr. Humphrey? His face looks so scary.
“Yeah. I wonder who got on Mr. Humphrey’s bad side. I’ve never seen him with such a terrifying expression before.”
“I don’t know. Anyway, Mr. Humphrey’s mood was definitely bad today. What should I do? I still have to deliver the documents later.”
“Oh, then you must be very careful, in case Mr. Humphrey makes you pack up and leave.”
***
I sat down at my own desk and glanced towards the direction of the president’s office.
He should still be angry because of what happened yesterday.
I tightly clenched my hands, warning myself silently that I must not provoke that lunatic again today.
Yes, you madman!
He was a lunatic, that Reynaldo.
At that moment, someone threw a stack of documents at me and said, “Make a table according to the requirements on it and send it to me!”
