Chapter 2

The next afternoon, I came to the company.

I had planned to pack up my things and leave quietly.

But as soon as I walked into the makeup room, I noticed people pointing at me, whispering to each other.

While gathering my belongings, I overheard the two girls talking near my workstation.

"Hey, are you the new makeup artist? Let me tell you. It's him, the one who spread rumors about Ms. Collier's improper behavior."

"Really? Wow, his jealousy must be off the charts. Does he even know his worth? Spreading rumors is illegal, you know. Isn't he even afraid of going broke from a lawsuit?"

"Exactly! Ms. Collier is still single. She has never had any scandals. How could it be possible?"

So, yesterday's incident had spread.

I just found it amusing.

Luna knew better than anyone whether she had slept with someone.

She could have had a dignified death, but instead, her reputation was ruined even after she passed.

Once I finished packing, I was ready to leave.

That was when I saw my girlfriend Caitlyn Bauer, who had not come home the night before, stepping out of the bathroom.

She seemed to be saying something to me.

But when I saw her, I froze in place.

I saw faint corpse resentment on her, the same aura that was on Luna!

I snapped back to reality and finally heard her words.

"Samson, you are driving me crazy! Hurry up and apologize to Ms. Collier! Beg for her forgiveness so she will not fire you! Come on, why are you still standing there…"

As she spoke, Caitlyn reached out to grab me.

I slapped her across the face.

Others might hesitate to do it, but I wouldn't.

Caitlyn was stunned, her right hand covering her face as she stared at me in disbelief.

"Are you out of your mind, Samson? I am telling you to apologize to Ms. Collier for your own good! After we get married, we will need money for the house and our kids in the future. Don't be stupid!"

She tried to grab me again.

I slapped her once more.

"Married? Forget it! Get your filthy hands off me. You disgust me!"

I pulled out a tissue and disdainfully wiped my left hand.

"What do you mean by that, Samson?"

I pulled out a chair and sat down.

"What do I mean? You said you needed to save money before you could marry me. I supported your daily expenses, and you're even living in my house. I feel it's okay to cover all the living expenses." I shot a cold glance at Luna, who was watching the scene unfold. "But what is the deal with you sleeping with someone else?"

As soon as I said that, Caitlyn's body flinched.

I looked at her uneasy expression, feeling both amused and heartbroken.

We had known each other for three years and had been in a relationship for two.

I pursued her. She was beautiful, not the type with a generic face. Her figure in a white dress had captivated me.

In the scorching summer, she had worn a mascot costume and handed out flyers, claiming she was only doing it so she could marry me sooner.

So, I pulled some strings and secretly got her a job as a celebrity assistant, with a monthly salary of at least fifty thousand dollars.

I even became a makeup artist just to stay close to her.

And now, I could see the same corpse resentment on her that I had seen on Luna.

The resentment was faint, It was not from direct contact with a corpse. That could only mean she and Luna had slept with the same man.

Last night… they had sex!

"Last night, right?" I stared at her.

Caitlyn began to panic, her words coming out jumbled.

"No, no… That's not true. Samson, listen to me. I would never..."

"Samson, I showed you mercy after yesterday's incident, but now you are slandering my assistant? What are you trying to do, invite a lawsuit?" Luna chimed in, sounding far calmer than Caitlyn.

I did not want to argue; I just wanted to leave.

At that moment, a voice rang out.

"You received 100 thousand dollars."

Everyone in the makeup room heard it and exchanged glances.

It came from Caitlyn's phone.

I could not help but laugh.

"Caitlyn, just 100 thousand dollars? You slept with another man for one night and got only 100 thousand dollars? Then again, I guess that's all you are worth!"

I walked toward the door, and as I passed her, I whispered so only the two of us could hear, smirking.

"By the way, I forgot to mention. I was the one who got you that job. I have a fortune in the hundreds of millions."

As I was about to step out of the makeup room, Luna shouted after me.

"Samson! Just you wait! I will have Ms. Osborne sue you! I will charge you with slander and defamation!"

I glanced at her indifferently.

"No problem. Sue me all you want, but…"

I looked at her, noticing the black aura of corpse resentment engulfing her, and smiled slightly.

"But you do not have much time left."
