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.

"Everyone look, Mr. Hart's family has arrived," someone said.

Everyone's eyes were darting between Mr. Hart's family and me, as if an exciting show was about to begin.

Mrs. Hart's eyes turned towards me, filled with anger.

The gossip souls of my colleagues burned even brighter:

"Is Mrs. Hart looking at Amara? Her eyes look like she wants to swallow Amara alive."

"Oh my, Amara's in trouble now. That's what she gets for seducing Mr. Hart. caught red-handed by the original wife."

"The good show is up."
