Chapter 21
Chapter 21 Mutual Enemy
Lance’s face turned really ugly, he must have not expected me to be that harsh.
I stared at me hard and left me alone in the office. I sighed in relief.
My stomach was growling in hunger. I didn’t have mood to work anymore and went to the KFC store
opposite of the office. I bought a burger and sat there eating alone.
I swiped my Instagram while eating, I don’t really use Facebook much. I use it to contact my friends
only. As for work, I use WhatsApp to contact my clients.
Facebook sent me a notification telling me that it was my birthday. Oh right, my birthday, the 17th. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Leo used to wish me birthday or even fly back in secret and celebrate it with me. Now he’s already
someone else’s husband. Nobody would call me and say: “Happy Birthday, Jennie Gomez.” Anymore.
There’s no point celebrating birthday alone, plus I was never an extrovert so I didn’t have many friends.
The naïve little me used to think that having Leo was enough.
Now Leo didn’t want me anymore. I realized how lonely it was.
Finishing the burger off, I went back to office. After the incident in the office just now, I didn’t have the
mood to continue working anymore. I cleaned my desk and informed Wendy that I was feeling sick so I
needed to go home.
Wendy looked at me with sorry eyes and said: “Jennie, I can’t decide for you, you need to talk to boss.”
It was actually only 30 minutes to the end of office hours, but perhaps I just remembered that it was my
birthday and decided to go home earlier. I planned to buy a small cake by the road side and celebrate it
myself. Since no one love me, I should love myself right?
I knocked on Lance’s office door. “Come in.”
I pushed the door open and he looked at me from his desk. “Yes?”
“Boss, I’m not feeling well, can I leave early?”
He didn’t answer me immediately, he looked at his watch and said: “Only 30 minutes left, what’s the
rush?”
“Boss, I’m not feeling well.” I said once again.
Lance stood up and wore his coat. “Follow me.”

“I really am sick.” I said, again.
Perhaps I repeated twice, he seemed annoyed. “I’m not deaf you know. Who’s the boss now?”
He walked to me and said: “Let’s go!”
We left the office and I entered his car.
“This is the route to the cite.” I said.
“Did I say we are going there?” he asked back.
“Then where are you bringing me?” I asked.
“You’ll see.” Lance answered.
Since he didn’t want to tell me, then I stopped asking. He asked me in the afternoon, what he is most
afraid of. Of course I know. People like him are most afraid of getting bored and have nothing to do. He
said I was his most interesting toy.
He treated me like his personal toy. “You’re calm, are you not afraid that I’m going to sell you?” he took
a glance at me.
I smiled. “Impossible. I’m not worth a lot.”
“Well, you seem to know yourself a lot.” He smirked.
I sighed and said: “Yea, I know my status and my place.” I sounded sad.
Lance didn’t say anything after that.
He stopped his car at a luxurious clothing store. “What?” I asked in confusion.
