Chapter 9 — He Never Looked Back

"The result of your 'avoiding jealousy' is that I haven't been promoted for 3 years, all my achievements have been stolen by others, and the whole company sees you as a crazy person with delusions about you." "If it's public, it will make people doubt my ability, so if you treat me harsher than other employees, can you prove my innocence?" "You're not protecting me, you're just protecting your own reputation." Sac Ly Tu's face became increasingly pale. Perhaps he has never put himself in my position to think these things. He just felt like he didn't have an affair, didn't really betray me, and every choice had a dignified reason. So I should have understood. "I'll fix it later." "But I don't need it anymore." I pushed past him and pulled open the conference room door. There are a few employees outside waiting to report to work. For the first time, Ly Tu didn't care about other people's eyes and reached out to hold me. "Hua Dong, the person I love is always you." The hallway immediately fell silent. If I had heard this sentence a month earlier, I probably would have burst into tears. But now, I just looked down at his hand. "Let go." He didn't move. Chu Minh walked out of the office, his eyes fell on Ly Tu's hand. "Director Ly, this is Phuong Chu." "Please respect my staff." Ly Tu finally let go, but looked coldly at Chu Minh. "This is between me and her." "Not anymore." I walked to stand next to Chu Minh. "Director Ly, if it has nothing to do with work, please leave here." Ly Tu stared at me for a long time. Finally, he clasped the ring in his palm and walked alone into the elevator. That night, I received a friend request from To Yen. The confirmation message is only one sentence. 【Dong Dong, I want to explain to you.】 I pressed the decline button. Less than 10 minutes later, she appeared downstairs in my house. 7 To Yen waited in the rain for a long time. I didn't intend to go downstairs, but she kept calling the receptionist, affecting other residents. When I walked out into the lobby, her whole body was soaked, as damaged as I was that night at the party. "Dong Dong." She walked towards me with red eyes. "I've been fired from the company." I wasn't surprised. Her data errors caused actual losses, and she also shifted responsibility during the investigation process, so the company could not keep her. To Yen bit her lip. "Those colleagues are now cursing me, saying I deliberately led them by the nose, making them think that I and Ly Tu were a couple." "But I never admitted it with my own mouth." "So what?" "What they think is not something I can control." I looked at her, feeling that this sentence was extremely familiar. In the past, every time the company spread rumors between her and Ly Tu, she explained the same. She didn't admit it, just put on Ly Tu's clothes; not admitting it, just moving into our house; I don't admit it, I just shyly bow my head when others tease me. She enjoys all the privileges that misunderstanding brings, but puts all the responsibility on someone else's imagination. "You came to find me, just to say these things?" To Yen shook her head, her voice trembling. "I came to apologize to you." "About the document file, I really didn't mean to harm you. I was just afraid of losing my job, seeing that the login account was yours, so... that's why I didn't tell the truth." "You knew full well that Ly Tu would make me take the blame for you." Her face looked on. I stiffened. "I don't know." "You know." I calmly exposed her.
