No More Trust, No More Deception

In her eyes, I might truly be less important than a goldfish.

At that moment, it felt like there was a final invisible door in my heart, tightly closed and sealed!

Since my promotion to vice president, things had become busier.

I was often invited to events even after work hours, and the boss would occasionally take me to meet clients, keeping me out late.

In the past, I would have resisted, but now, I found joy in it.

For almost half a month, I was coming home late almost every day.

On this particular day, there were no social engagements.

I could finally head home early.

As I arrived at the company building, I noticed Angelina's car parked on the side of the road, with Troy in the passenger seat.

Troy waved at me, saying, "Hey, Logan, long time no see."

Ignoring him, I planned to leave directly.

Just then, Angelina got out of the driver's seat and called out to me, "Logan, today is our annual class reunion day. You haven't forgotten, have you?"

She glanced back at Troy and added, "He's coming with us in my car."

I got into the car and sat in the back seat.

Troy's gaze from the front seat was peculiar, but I said nothing.

He didn't continue the conversation with me, engaging in lively chatter with Angelina instead.

When we arrived at the venue for the reunion, the first person I saw was Julia.

Troy approached her, but she deliberately avoided him and sat on my right side, leaving Troy visibly displeased.

After the initial round of catching up, the food was served, and everyone shared recent happenings.

Troy was drinking alone, consuming a lot.

His ex-wife seemed unfazed by it all while, Angelina repeatedly urged Troy to stop.

Seizing the moment, Troy suddenly grabbed Angelina's hand and asked, "If you weren't married, would you choose to marry me or him?"

His actions and question were too sudden.

The room fell silent in an instant, everyone's gaze filled with shock.

"You've had too much to drink."

Angelina pushed away Troy's hand.

"I haven't!"

Troy stood up, looking at me with a drunken gaze. "Logan, do you think I've had too much?"

Facing his somewhat meaningful yet provocative look and question, I remained unfazed.

"How about this, I divorce Angelina right now, give you a chance?"

My words left everyone stunned, each person looking at me with utter amazement.
