The company parachuted in a new audit executive, and it turned out to be Karen, my boyfriend Chad's little childhood sweetheart.
She berated me in the morning meeting, saying I wasn't living up to my title and was just a placeholder. She even implied that I was deliberately making things difficult for my coworkers and acting disgracefully.
Turning around, she then tugged on my boyfriend's sleeve and whimpered:
"Is it because I'm too close to you that Sarah misunderstood me?"
Later, she took advantage of her connections to have the company lay me off.
With me out of the way as a stumbling block, Karen not only won in love but also went full steam ahead in the company.
Until the company laid off a large number of key personnel under her leadership, projects started failing one after another, and the company's stock price plummeted. Karen finally panicked. She urged her ex-boyfriend to contact me, asking me to come back and continue working, to be their scapegoat.
Meanwhile, I was sunbathing on the beach.
"I'm sorry, the sun is too strong in this resort area. I can barely hear what you're saying. I'll hang up now."

My Boyfriend's Little Childhood Sweetheart Became My Boss

Claire put down her phone, feeling dazed.


Back when she graduated middle school, her uneducated parents in that remote mountain village were about to sell her off to pay for her brother's bride price.


If it hadn't been for someone willing to sponsor her education, she probably would have lived out her days in those mountains.


As she walked out of the bathroom, she saw Dashiell who had just finished showering.


Water droplets trickled down his neck, disappearing into his open bathrobe.


He was sitting awkwardly on the couch with his legs crossed. Seeing her enter, he made a show of adjusting his robe and running a hand over his chest.


Now Claire understood why he kept "accidentally" bumping into her lately, spilling coffee on himself, and asking for her help when he got drunk - it was all to seduce her!


It seemed he was running out of patience.


"Do you dislike me?"He pinned me against the wall, his warm breath tickling my ear.
