Billionaire Ex-wife: I Can't Live Without You

Thats true.

They havent been seen together in a while.

She must have really pissed off the boss.

Such a tramp should have been shown the door long ago.

Its time she got a taste of her own medicine.

The chat group administrators turned a blind eye to the comments, considering the matter too trivial for them to intervene.

After all, everywhere around the world, people loved to gossip.

Who didnt enjoy a bit of schadenfreude? While the rumors spread like wildfire within the company, Dulcie and Kysons standoff continued.

Each word and action from the two was scrutinized by their nosy and judgmental colleagues. Of course, the office gossip was all about Dulcie.

No one in their right mind would dare to criticize Kyson unless they were actively seeking an early retirement.

The fact that Kyson hadnt said a word about the rumors swirling around Dulcie only added fuel to the fire.

That noon, the office restroom became the unofficial gossip HQ, with a few employees gathered around, washing their hands while sharpening their tongues.

Can you believe Dulcie still has the nerve to hang around Mr.

Shaw? If I were her, Id have handed in my resignation ages ago, one woman scoffed, rolling her eyes dramatically.

Do you think shes that dumb? Shes aiming to become Mrs.

Shaw, no doubt, another replied, smirking as she touched up her lipstick in the mirror.

Being his assistant is just step one in her master plan.

The third woman chuckled, shaking her head.

She pranced around like a queen when shes totally clueless with who shes messing with.

And now that Mr.

Shaws finally kicked her to the curb, its only a matter of time before she gets the message.

I saw this coming, added another, laughing as if it was all just a great joke.

If I were her, Id focus on my job, find a decent guy, and settle down.

Knowing your place is key, someone chipped in wisely as if they were dishing out life advice instead of cruel gossip.

Too busy with their chat, none noticed one of the stall doors was closed behind them, hiding Dulcie inside.

Shed been listening to every word with fists clenched so tight her knuckles turned white. Every fiber of her being screamed to march out there and confront them, but she knew better.

Kyson was practically untouchable in the company, and causing a scene could easily blow up in her face.

Once the chatter died down and the restroom finally emptied, Dulcie took a deep breath, steeling herself before stepping out of the stall.

But as she reached for the restroom door, her heart sank.

It wouldnt budge.

No matter how much she twisted the handle, it was locked from the outside.noveldrama

A million thoughts raced through her mind.

Had those women locked her in? Pressing her face against the doorframe, she called, Is anyone out there? Ive been locked in! Can someone help me open the door? But the silence outside was deafening.

Once the door was locked from the outside, it was impossible to open from the inside.
