After the Eight Years of Love I Gave Up novel Chapter 40

Love Story4 - Chapter 9

Time flew by, and soon it was the company's 30th anniversary celebration.

My dad took this event very seriously, so it was held at our family's five-star hotel. Employees could bring family members, there were lucky draws with generous prizes, and employees were even given three days of paid leave.

I didn't want to see my parents showing affection, so I arrived early by myself.

I had only been with the group for a month and was still considered a newcomer. With the previous online rumors, colleagues who didn't know my true identity avoided me.

So I stood alone in a corner of the banquet hall, quietly sipping champagne. In their eyes, I must have looked pitiful, since no one came to greet me, but I was actually observing everyone.

"Amara, does it feel bad to be ostracized and isolated?" Cara's mocking voice came from behind.

Turning around, I saw Cara wearing a bright red strapless mini dress, with exquisite makeup. It was clear she had put a lot of effort into her appearance.

She was on the arm of Daniel, who was wearing a gray suit.

Daniel had styled his hair meticulously. I had to admit, clothes do make the man. Daniel's looks were above average, and in a suit, he did have s o m e charm.

"Daniel, I have to say, you've dressed up quite nicely today. You look quite handsome," I said leisurely.

Daniel's smile immediately stiffened.

I raised my glass and put on a smile: "Who says only a talented man and a beautiful woman make a perfect match? A scumbag and a shrew deserve blessings too. Don't you two agree? Here's to you."

Cara couldn't smile anymore either.

"You man-stealing bitch, I'll beat you to death today." Cara raised her hand and was about to come at me when a "Cara" stopped her.

It was Olivia.
