Chapter 3

Lucas hates me so much, I thought yesterday would be our last interaction.

The next day, as soon as the mall's closing time arrived, I quickly changed clothes, put on lipstick, and prepared to go to the KTV for my night shift.

Suddenly my phone rang, a message came in:

"7 PM, parking lot, space F0888."

I vaguely felt it was Lucas, and went to the parking lot with a nervous heart.

Unexpectedly, a pair of silver high heels walked out from around the corner, the tone unfriendly: "So it's you. Are you still pining for my fiancé?"

"Miss White, you misunderstand."

Olivia snorted, "Misunderstand? He told me, you were his first love. Now you're short on money, and he's rich. It's hard for me not to suspect you have ulterior motives appearing around him."

"But let me tell you, you can't squeeze in. He bought an island named after me, his first words after ringing the bell at the NYSE were about marrying me. He eats the food I like, wears the clothes I like."

"Do you know how long he comforted me the night you appeared?"

Just then, a Rolls-Royce drove up, the window lowered, and a deep male voice came: "Olivia, who are you talking to?"

Olivia put away her scornful expression and switched to a gentle face: "Miss Shaw somehow knows your parking spot. Is she looking for you?"

Lucas got out of the car, his gaze falling on me, "How did you know about this place?"

I was about to say: You sent a message telling me to come.

But seeing Olivia looking at us, I ultimately didn't say it out loud, only saying, "I was passing by."

"You can come up with such a low-level excuse?" Lucas frowned, he's tall, looking down at me with lowered eyelids, "In the future, appear less in front of Olivia, she'll overthink things."

Olivia leaned against the car door, arms folded, casually saying, "Who knows if she's doing it on purpose, deliberately flaunting in front of me. She was just telling me about your past."

"I didn't!"

Suddenly a large hand tightened around my neck.

"Evelyn, how dare you, aren't you ashamed."

The next second, Lucas released me, throwing me to the side.

I gasped for air, the corners of my eyes tinged with blood red, the pain in my chest coming in waves.

"You've changed a lot over the years, deaf and blind."

My words struck Lucas to the core, his face stiffening.

Olivia spoke up: "Lucas, fire her."

I dug my fingertips into my palm.

Lucas was silent for a moment before answering: "Alright."

I pulled a self-mocking smile at the corners of my mouth: "You clearly know I need this job."

He replied coldly: "What does that have to do with me?"

He and Olivia got in the car, not even glancing at me, throwing down a sentence: "Evelyn, this is your retribution."

Those two intimate silhouettes were a perfect couple that no one could come between.

Heh, I let out a light sneer.

I suddenly realized that in Lucas's eyes, my dignity didn't matter. I was just a little toy for him to use to please his sweetheart.

The car lights came on, and as it started, I also turned away.

I took out my phone and swiftly blocked the number that had sent the message.
