Chapter 4 — Because of White Moon Light, He Abandoned Me During the Engagement Ceremony
"Hua Duong."
"It's a bit harsh to say this."
"You have suffered with him for so many years."
"It's really hard."
"But in his heart..."
"You and I have always been different."
"You are his habit."
"And I..."
"It's the biggest regret."
"Men will rely on habit."
"But I will go crazy with regret."
I quietly listened to her everything. Suddenly I saw how pitiful she was. Even though he's grown this much... But he still sees himself as a statue for others to worship. I looked at her and asked:
"Are you done talking yet?"
She raised her eyebrows.
"Aren't you angry?"
"Why should I be angry?" I curled my lips slightly. "Is a person who only relies on getting back together with an ex to find a sense of existence worthy of making me angry?"
The smile on her face immediately stiffened. I keep saying:
"Tham Le, if you really have the ability, just take Luc Tram away, don't let him come back and make me feel disgusted. But today you took the initiative to come to me, isn't it because you are not sure in your heart?"
"You're afraid that I won't let go, afraid that I'll still hold on to things that belong to the company, afraid that in the end, Luc Tram still won't be able to leave the person who can always shoulder everything with him like me."
"That's why you ran to show off your power and wanted to force me to proactively retreat."
Tham Le's hand holding the steering wheel suddenly tightened. I looked at her and slowly said each word:
"Don't worry."
"I will withdraw."
"But not to make room for you, but to remove the door, to see if you two are brave enough to clean up this mess."
Her expression finally darkened.
"What do you mean?"
"Literally."
I pushed the car door open and got out. Before leaving, I turned around and smiled at her.
"Oh right, let me remind you. Today you can make a man turn his head at the airport, tomorrow someone else will turn his head somewhere else. Watching a man change his mind as a trophy is not classy, it's just stupid."
I closed the car door. Never looked back. The next day, the Finance Director knocked on my office door, his face somewhat unusual.
"General Manager Hua, there are a few expenses I want to confirm with you."
I received the voucher, and with just one glance, my heart was half cold. A week ago, in the company's marketing expenses, an amount of 680,000 yuan was transferred in the name of "brand consulting fee". The recipient of the money is a newly established studio that has not been established for long. The legal representative... is Tham Le. I raised my head to look at the Finance Director.
"Who approved this money?"
"General Manager Luc."
"Where's the contract?"
"There is only a letter of intent to cooperate, the official contract has not yet been signed."
I put down the documents, my temples twitching. The kiss hasn't been canceled yet. Cooperation has not yet been finalized. Money has been transferred in advance. No wonder Tham Le is so confident. Luc Tram had already made a calculation. I asked coldly:
"Is there anything else?"
The Finance Director hesitated a bit then gave me another document.
"There is also an amount of 300,000 yuan, taken from the separate budget for the couple's wedding, recorded as a temporary supplement for the project to upgrade the brand image."
I looked at the hotel bill and the final payment for the designer bag I ordered On that alone, I was so angry that I almost burst out laughing. The car Tham Le sat in yesterday. The hotel she stayed at. The bag she carried. It was all spent with money to prepare for Luc Tram and I's engagement ceremony. I closed my eyes and spoke a long time later:
"Back up all relevant documents for me."
"From today, without the simultaneous signature of me and the legal department, all external payments will be temporarily suspended."
After everyone left, I pushed my chair back and sat quietly in the office for a long time without moving. For the first time... I realized it so clearly. Luc Tram is not impulsive at all. He's had this idea for a long time. On the one hand, prepare for the engagement ceremony with me. On the one hand, he secretly transferred money, paving the way for Tham Le. He's not hesitating. Looking at me as the last retreat. The phone on the table vibrated slightly. Luc Tram sent me a message.
"Let's have lunch together this afternoon, let's talk about the company."
I only answer in two words.
"Don't go."
Very quickly after that, he sent another message:
"Tham Le will sign a contract to be a brand consultant. Don't let your personal feelings affect this matter, the company needs her charisma."
I stared at that line and suddenly burst out laughing out of anger. He really intended to take the right path and bring her into the company. Half an hour later, I went straight to his office. As soon as she pushed the door in, Tham Le sat on the sofa to receive guests, wearing a white dress, holding a cup of coffee in her hand, looking like an innocent girl coming for an interview. Luc Tram stood in front of the ground-level window. Seeing me enter, his eyes slightly paused. I threw the documents on the coffee table with a "bang".
"Who allowed you to transfer that 680,000 yuan consulting fee?"
