Stephanie had been busy updating her Instagrams several times a day.
From the photo with the domineering boss, work overtime with him until late at night and stand together on the most magnificent building in the city and overlook the earth.
She also wrote that it was her first time to experience skydiving, her first time to feel the real underwater world and her first time to see the beauty of the aurora.
The experiences and surprises from the business trip brought her were things she would never be able to achieve in her entire life.
But in the past, I was the only one who accompanied Harvey to do those things.
So, the way my colleagues looked at me was cautious but sympathetic at that moment.
Harvey conceded that Stephanie was using that method to disgust me.
However, if it was really true, it was really murderous and heartbreaking.
For several days, it was only Claire who lived and ate with me, assisting with the legal affairs department in handling the financial division issues with Harvey.
One day, she stormed into the office holding a file bag and grumbled, “Claudine, Harvey is really too much.”
I was in the middle of signing a business document when I heard that. So, I simply looked up, only to find Claudine on the verge of exploding with anger.
“What's wrong? Is he back?”
Claudine slapped the file bag on the desk. There was a USB and several photos of Harvey and Stephanie lying in the hotel's couple suite slid out.
Harvey was shirtless, with an ambiguous red mark on his chest that was particularly eye-catching.
Finally, she answered my question, “The person hasn't come back yet, but the nude photos have.”
My straight shoulders slowly drooped and my heart felt like it was being held captive by something, causing waves of pain.
With slightly trembling fingers, I picked up the USB and inserted it into the laptop in front of me.
At dusk, on the open-air balcony on the top floor of the hotel, Harvey held Stephanie's face and looked at her almost obsessively.
Behind them was the sky dyed orange by the setting sun.
The sunset glows like a weave and the lovers embrace each other, just like a moving picture spread across the sky.
When the two were about to kiss, I raised my hand and closed the laptop.
I trembled uncontrollably when I asked, “Who sent it?”
“It was sent by courier and received by the front desk,” Claire directly answered with anger in her face.
I took a deep breath and let it out slowly.
Only after I meticulously put the photos back into the file bag and put them in the drawer did I regain my composure.
“Don't make this public. Find out who sent the package.”
But Claire directly gave me a clue, “Who else could it be? It must be that shameless Stephanie, who is crazy about getting promoted.”
I also thought about it at first, since the angle of the video looked like a candid shot rather than a staged one.
But whoever the person was, I had one conclusion. It was not a business trip, but their honeymoon.
Fortunately, tomorrow was the middle of the month. It was the perfect time to put an end to all these bad people and bad things.
The next day, Harvey returned to the company and had an important morning meeting.
It turned out, he promptly fired the three employees who had previously ridiculed Stephanie the most. Two of them are my people.
I was not surprised that Harvey defended Stephanie so blatantly. After all, they were already sleeping in the same bed.
What surprised me was that he actually brought Stephanie to attend the family dinner in the evening.
Stephanie even took advantage of the business trip to bring a lot of gifts for my mother-in-law, all of which were good things for health.
She really catered to her preferences and made my mother-in-law very happy.
After seeing me arrive, my mother-in-law asked someone to invite my father-in-law and Harvey who were talking in the study and prepare for the banquet.
Then, she took my hand and started chattering about some trivial things.
However, as Harvey came to the restaurant, he glanced at me slightly and then looked away.
Stephanie followed him and sat next to him, the seat I usually sat in.
Actually, Harvey was stunned for a moment, but he did not object.
So, it angered me so much. After all, we had not divorced yet and were still a legal couple.
His behavior, constantly keeping a female secretary by his side and even daring to bring her into our home, taking the position that rightfully belonged to me, was utterly unacceptable.
