"This is your own problem. I shouldn't have to put on a leadership role and help you solve it."
Hearing those words, both of them were stunned.
Marco reacted earlier than Louisa.
He bowed to me, his voice pleading. "I'm sorry, Mr. Gilmore. I didn't think carefully about this matter. I will solve it myself. Don't blame Louisa."
Now, he even called her "Louisa".
Just overnight, he changed the way he called his boss from "Ms. Louisa" being "Louisa".
It seemed like the superior-subordinate relationship between them was closer than I imagined.
She raised her hand and slammed the table angrily, saying harshly, "We can handle it ourselves. We don't need you."
She grabbed her assistant's hand, pushed the office door and left without looking back.
Before getting off work, I received two business trip applications for two people and clicked "agree".
At night, my best friend, Reymond Blunt called me to drink.
He joked that I should have changed a long time ago.
Nine years of giving everything for a girl, but in the end, she still did not appreciate it.
"She just feels too tired being with you. No matter how hard she tries, she can't earn even one-tenth of your family's money and she can't spend your money with peace of mind."
"I can't help it. This is the girls nowadays."
I took a sip of my mojito without saying a word.
No.
Love did not become a burden when two people's hearts were truly together.
Only when we did not love could we make rational judgments.
Forget it, it was better for the person who did not belong to me to leave.
"When is your blind date with the Scott Family arranged? Have you really decided to leave Araya?"
I nodded and responded, "Next week, I'll transfer the management rights of the company to you and leave."
This clothing company was co founded by me and Louisa. She and I both hold half of the equity.
Since we wanted to sever ties, we naturally had to settle everything.
I spent the next whole week busy with the transfer.
Since the argument that day, Louisa had blocked me on X and WhatsApp.
On the contrary, Marco posted photos related to Louisa every day.
Spending their time together watching the sunset on the beach after chatting with their bussiness partner.
Getting up early and having breakfast together in the hotel.
And staying up the whole night working on a project together and drinking American coffee at 3 a.m.
I, who felt heartbroken at first, became numb in the end.
Until my assistant nervously handed me Marco's X account and said, "Sir, I think I should let you know about this."
I stared at it for a long time.
In his latest X post, he posted a picture of Louisa lying in his arms and sleeping soundly.
There were comments below.
[Congratulations for becoming a boyfriend and becoming a regular employee officially.]
[Wow, after reading your secret stories on your crush for four years, you finally got her love!]
[Finally, from crush to girlfriend ....]
I did not have any emotions more, I just smiled indifferently and returned the phone to my assistant.
"Notify everyone that there will be a staff meeting this afternoon." I ordered.
It was time to end this tangled triangle relationship.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, I walked into the largest conference room of the company with Reymond on time.
"I would like to inform everyone that I will be stepping down as the general manager. The company will be fully handed over to Mr. Blunt and Mr. Vaughan beside me."
Everyone was in an uproar, expressing shock hearing this news.
I stepped down from the stage and left the conference room.
The next day, the real estate agent came to register the sales information of the villa.
I got in the car and headed to the airport.
As soon as I arrived, the airport lobby was crowded with people.
I dragged my suitcase towards the security checkpoint and ran into Louisa and Marco who were rushing back.
She was standing in the crowd, looking at me from afar.
As early as yesterday, I had entrusted someone to send her a breakup message.
I did not even glance at them, just brushed past them.
Louisa held my hand and said in a deep voice, "Lionel, why are you so angry?"
I frowned and responded calmly, "Let go, it's so dirty."
She did not let my hand go, instead she patiently said, "I know you're angry, I apologize to you, okay? But Marco and I really have nothing, you're sold your shares and broke up ...."
A nice and friendly reminder to board the plane sounded at the airport.
I was too lazy to argue with her, so I just opened X and showed her Marco's X account.
"This is an irrefutable evidence. Do you want me to expose all the dirty things you have done?"
She was stunned for a moment, her lips slightly parted, with an incredulous expression.
I ignored her shock, put away my mobile phone and walked past her.
She reacted, quickly stopped me and angrily said to Marco behind her, "What the hell is going on! When did I lie down with you?!"
"Speak! Marco!"
