F1 Champion's Perfect Crash: When Love Takes The Final Turn novel Chapter 61

Olivia's cutting words immediately silenced the room.

My face devoid of any emotion, returned to my seat, clutching my phone tightly.

A cold sneer danced across Olivia's features as she glanced at me before exiting the room.

Once she was gone, the hushed whispers resumed amongst the others.

"She really knows how to bluff!"

"Indeed, ever since Emily left, some people seem to have developed an inflated sense of their own importance in the department!"

"I wonder when Director Hopkins will be back. We better watch our words until he returns. You never know who might be listening!"

I remained stoic, mindlessly doodled on the design draft with my pen.

I was well aware that no matter who you were, someone somewhere would talk behind your back.

However, they spoke of Director Hopkins, whom I was curious to meet. It was said that he was the Head of Design and a highly capable individual. Alas, he had gone on a business trip these past few days!

Third POV

On the top floor, in Mr Strakovski's office, Lukas' phone buzzed, displaying the name "Emily Scholl" on the screen. He hesitated momentarily before answering the call.

"What do you mean by all this, Lukas?" Emily began to reprimand as soon as she spoke.

Lukas' impatience flicked in his eyes. "What’s the matter?"

"You've never defended me like this before." Emily's tone grew teary as she replied. “Are you really interested in her?”

Learning about the situation in the United States from Olivia's call had sent her into a whirlwind of emotions. She hadn't anticipated such drastic changes in just a few days since she left.

"The internet media wasn't as advanced back then,” frowning, Lukas responded.

"But can she even compare to me? I was your girlfriend for six years, while she's just a woman with a marriage certificate!" Defiantly, Emily raised her voice.

Lukas' expression turned cold. "At least she has that marriage certificate. Unlike you!"

Emily's eyes filled with tears as she cried out to Lukas, "I loved you so much. How could you treat me like this?"

"You were the one who wanted us to get married, but you were also the one who stood me up and the one who wanted to leave. Nobody forced you to do that, Emily." Lukas maintained a severe expression.

"I did it because I felt like you didn't love me! I wanted to show you that you cared, but it seemed like you didn't! Don’t you feel it?" Emily was crying.

Lukas’s voice was cold,“So, you think by standing me up time after time, you can prove whether I love you or not? Your behavior is quite childish."
