I put on my clothes with a blank expression, walked out of the CEO's office, and returned to my own office.

Colleagues outside glanced at me, and then the clattering sound of typing resumed.

I knew that the whole company was spreading the news that I, the personal secretary, was about to be fired by the future boss lady.

After all, I'm Ling Han's half-sister, and now I'm entangled with the same man.

It's just that my mom is Ling Gaoyang's lawfully wedded wife, while she's the illegitimate daughter of a mistress.

It's Ling Han's mom who turned my family upside down.

After my mom left the Ling Family, Ling Gaoyang couldn't wait to bring their mother and daughter back to the Ling Family.

My mom hates her mom, so I hate her too.

Back when the Ling Family went bankrupt, Ling Gaoyang decisively sold me to Gu Jingxing.

Ridiculously, I wasn't even sad at that time; I even felt relieved.

Because this way, I could avoid Ling Han and stay by Gu Jingxing's side.

After graduation, Gu Jingxing let me join the company as his secretary, saying it was convenient for him to keep an eye on me.

When you're young, you always like to fantasize.

I once thought this was his love for me, but later realized it was merely convenient for him to solve physiological needs and satisfy his desire for control.

Once, I hoped that one day he'd openly hold my hand and announce that I was his girlfriend, or fiancée.

I helped him handle one young and beautiful girl after another, then repeatedly told myself in the deep of night that these were just his momentary amusements, and I was the one who could stay by his side forever.

He always told me, "Ling Shuang, you're so boring, can't you learn from others?"

Later, his new girlfriend became Ling Han.

Gu Jingxing knew very well that I hated her, yet he insisted on flaunting her in front of me.

He was forever testing my limits.

In the past, no matter how excessive he played, he would always be with me for my birthday.

This time, I also bought a cake and prepared dinner.

As soon as Gu Jingxing entered the house, the phone rang.

Caller ID: Han.

"Ling Han fainted on set. I have to go. You eat by yourself."

With those words, Gu Jingxing rushed out.

I looked at the cake on the table, already starting to melt, and suddenly felt it was all meaningless. I didn't want to play house with him anymore, so I just threw the cake into the trash can.
