Goodbye, My Love

Nevertheless, it was a challenge that Loraine wanted to take up.

For the next two weeks, she worked hard day and night. She was finally able to complete the preliminary design plan.

She was confident in her work. But after she tendered it to Barry during a meeting, he flipped through it casually and threw it on the table without taking a close look at it.

“Absolute rubbish! Is that the best you can do, Loraine? It seems you are empty-headed. The idea you used during the interview was only a flash in the pan. This plan of yours isn’t even better than that of a high school student. I’m highly disappointed in youl”

Everyone at the meeting turned to look at Loraine while she was being scolded.

Loraine frowned deeply.

Her eyes narrowed to slits. Something told her that Barry was ridiculing her work because of what happened at the bar two weeks ago.

She wasn’t going to let him trample on her.

“Mr. Gray, you barely took a look at the plan. How about you Let our client be the judge? Send it to them first.”

Barry slapped the table angrily.

“What nonsense! I can never approve of such a bad plan. It’s my duty to do what’s good for the company. I’ve already decided to send Eliza’s plan to them instead. And what do you mean by that? Are you doubting my evaluation?”

Loraine nodded without hesitation. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Barry rose to his feet immediately. He pointed at her and roared,

“Loraine, don’t be complacent just because you were recruited by Mr.

Benton. Have you forgotten that I’m your superior? You have one strike.

I’LL make sure to state this in your performance report!”

“I’m being complacent?” Loraine sneered. “Oh, please! Is this because I turned down your advances that night? You are having your revenge under the guise of doing what’s good for the company. How could…”

Barry cut her off immediately.

“Shut up! What the hell are you talking about? You are a liar!”

However, it was too late. ALL the workers at the meeting stared at him in surprise.

Loraine wouldn’t Let him go easily. She took out her phone and played a recording.

It was a recording of her encounter with Barry at the bar.

Judging by the way he approached her that night, Loraine had suspected that he was up to something, so she recorded their conversation secretly.
