Cheating Love, Endless Price
Chapter 7
The company didn't allow office romances. Anyone who broke this rule would be fired.
Jasper and I had always been in a secret relationship. We would avoid each other in the company. No one knew about our relationship.
As soon as Jasper saw me, he grabbed my sleeve and walked out without saying a word.
"Why are you here? Didn't we agree to break up?" He asked.
I wanted to speak. But I couldn't say anything for a moment. Jasper had never been so mean to me before.
"I don't want to break up. This is a gift for you." I said.
Jasper’s birthday was in a few days. I customized the watch half a year in advance. I just received it yesterday. The price of this watch was one million dollars.
One of Jasper's colleagues happened to come up from downstairs. He ran into us.
"Jasper, hurry up. We have a meeting soon."
Jasper spoke in a gentle tone,
"Okay, Zoe. I'll accept the gift. You can go back now! I still have things to do."
I made a reservation at a nice restaurant. I said, "After your election next week, I will take you to dinner."
Jasper interrupted me. When talking about the election, his eyes lit up. He said, "I will definitely win the position."
Seeing him like this, I should have been relieved.
But for some reason, I felt uneasy inside.
However, I remembered one more thing.
My cousin, Kathy Edward, also worked in this department. She asked me out last week, but I was too busy to go. We then made another appointment to meet this weekend.
