However, I had never expected to be stopped by the receptionist as soon as I arrived at the entrance.

I clenched my fists and seriously said, "I'm Olive. Please tell Aaron I want to meet him."

The receptionist maintained a professional smile on her face but looked at me with contempt in her eyes. I guessed she knew who I was.

"Sorry, he is dating someone else now, so he won't fire anyone for you anymore. Please be sensible and leave. If you stay here, his new girlfriend may get angry."

She was speaking in an arrogant tone and looked at me with a mocking face, so I suddenly felt uncomfortable as if there were ten thousand needles in my clothes.

I dully stood still, and my mind was a mess. Did he really have a new girlfriend? Wasn't he trying to anger me after knowing I had married Vincent without telling him?

The receptionist raised her chin, folded her arms over her chest, and sarcastically said. "Why don't you leave? Do you think he will see you if you stand here?"

I licked my lips and asked in embarrassment, "Did he bring that woman to the company today?"

"Yes!" The receptionist rolled her eyes and said, "If you don't leave, I'll call security"

I ignored her taunt, stood at the door in a daze, and looked at the two uniformed security guards, thinking about whether I could break in. Well, the mission success rate was zero.

Today, I had mustered up all my courage to come to his company to meet him. If I failed to see him, I was afraid I would not have the courage to come again. So, I decided to go outside and wait for him until he got off work. I must meet him today no matter what!

When I turned around to leave, the elevator suddenly dinged. So, I paused and subconsciously raised my head to look over.

Then, I saw Daisy hurrying out of the elevator with her head down, holding a document in her hand. But she quickly walked past me with her long legs as if not seeing me. I froze for a second and then rushed forward to block her way. I didn't want to guess whether she was pretending not to see me. And I did not care about how embarrassing the situation was. I just quickly said, "Daisy, I want to meet Aaron. Please take me upstairs." Looking at me, she slightly frowned and helplessly said, "Olive, he's not here."

I knew she was lying because I had seen his car in the parking lot just now. So, I put my palms together and begged, "Please! I know he's upstairs."

Daisy hesitantly opened her lips and sighed, "Go back. I don't think he wants to see you now.

I felt numb to hear he did not want to see me again, so I cheekily continued to beg, "I do need to see him. Please! Please take me up!"

Daisy grimaced in embarrassment and said, "Olive, I think you will regret it if you go up to meet him now. As your friend. I think..."

"I must meet him! Can you please do me a favor? I won't bother you anymore..."

I had made up my mind to meet Aaron today. I knew he might be making out with his so-called "fiancée" now. But I would not give up until I saw it with my own eyes.

Seeing me so insistent, Daisy could only say in a faint voice, "He is with

his fiancée now. Are you sure you want to see him?"

Hearing that he was with that woman, I felt heartbroken. But I slowly clenched my fists and swallowed hard. After making up my mind, I nodded, "Yes, I want to see him."

"Fine." Daisy shrugged, thoughtfully handed me a handkerchief, and said, "I'll take you upstairs. But I hope you won't be too sad later."

Why was she so sure that I would cry when seeing Aaron? What on earth were he and that woman doing? I stared at the handkerchief in a daze and then shook my head. "Thank you, but I don't think I will need it." I fell asleep crying every night, so I almost ran out of my tears now.

Daisy nodded and put the handkerchief back into her pocket.

When the elevator slowly moved up, the quietness made me feel cramped. Standing in a corner, I was a little lack of oxygen for no reason.

I hadn't seen Aaron for a long time. Since starting dating him, I had never parted with him for more than two days.

I leaned against the elevator wall and watched the number on the display constantly change, feeling depressed. I had cheered myself up before coming here. But now, I felt discouraged and suddenly didn't know what to say when seeing him. I felt as if a long time had passed, but it was only less than two minutes.

As the elevator doors opened, Daisy nodded at me and said, "Go in by yourself. I still need to work. I wish you good luck."

While speaking, she shook the document in her hand.

I forced a smile and said, "Thank you."

She smiled at me and pressed the down button of the elevator. Soon, the elevator went down.

The corridor was quiet And I could hear a man and a woman flirting in the office because the door was partially open

The man's voice was deep and magnetic, which I had always liked to hear.

I knew it was Aaron's voice. But the woman's sweet voice sounded

unfamiliar I guessed she was his fiancée.
