Chapter 5

After I washed up, the two of them had already finished breakfast, leaving a table of mess.

Julia wiped her mouth and smiled at me, with a hint of pride in her eyes, saying, "Diana, Daniel told me that you are considering divorce because of what happened on my birthday."

"I really didn't expect that a birthday would cause so many misunderstandings."

"Diana, I apologize. Don't blame Daniel. It was me who insisted on him celebrating my birthday."

"Don't divorce Daniel either. I heard that it hasn't been easy for you two to come this far, so don't separate because of this small matter."

Julia said sincerely and also apologized to me. Daniel couldn't help but feel sorry for her when he heard it.

I didn't want to watch Julia's drama, so I picked up my bag and went to work.

I heard Daniel comfort her when I closed the door.

"Forget it. She will figure it out in a few days."

But Daniel didn't know that I would never be able to figure it out this time.

After that day, whenever I mentioned divorce, Daniel either pretended not to hear or ignored me with a cold face.

I met Daniel again at the annual party of the company.

At that time, I was being harassed by the supervisor because I had pushed back the project due to rushing back home to see Grandma.

The supervisor was a man, and it was well-known that he secretly loved Julia.

I didn't know where he heard that I had a conflict with Julia, so he took the opportunity of this project to scold me.

"Diana, do you think you are the boss of the company?"

"Do you know how much money the company lost because of this project? How could you push it back so easily?"

"You can't even repay the debt after selling yourself! How can you get into the Barber Group? Do you think you are somebody?"

I tried to explain to the supervisor, "I'm sorry, supervisor. Something happened to my grandma at home, so I had no choice but to postpone the project."

"Don't worry, I will follow up on this project later."

The supervisor wouldn't listen to my explanation and kept scolding me based on the pretext of losses.

"It's not that easy. Do you think you can definitely get it back if you say so?"

"Who do you think the client is? Will he listen to you? Or did you sleep with the client and get the project back?"

The supervisor intentionally raised the volume of the second half of the sentence, so that the attention of colleagues in the room was all focused on me.

There were more and more discussions around.

"Diana looks quite righteous. I didn't expect her private life to be a mess."

"I heard the company lost millions. Without losing something, how could she possibly compensate?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, I didn't expect Diana to be such a person."

Upon hearing this, I couldn't bear it anymore.

I stood up and glanced coldly at the supervisor, saying, "I thought that those who could enter Barber's Group would at least have some basic qualities as a person."

"Now it seems that some things are not human beings at all."

The supervisor who was scolded by me instantly blushed. He pointed at my face and raised his voice, saying, "Diana! Who are you cursing?!"

"Insulting superiors will result in a deduction of salary! Your won’t get your year-end bonus, and I will inform the host to cancel the process of you receiving the year-end bonus."

I sneered and left with my bag.

"Is that all you can do? You'd better have the HR fire me."

The supervisor caught up angrily and said, "Good, you are bold. Do you think I wouldn't dare?"

I ignored the people behind me and turned to leave the venue of the annual party.

The supervisor's follower, however, pulled me back, causing my abdomen to hit the dining table hard.

A huge sense of pain swept through my whole body, and I felt like I could hardly catch my breath for a moment.

Just then, Daniel walked out of the private room with Julia and coldly glanced at me.

"What are you doing? This is the annual party. Can you not do anything to embarrass me?"
