Louisa Watson, who was showing off her affection to me on X a second ago, quietly took away the limited-edition sports car that I had reserved for a long time in the automotive dealership.

An hour later, her male assistant drove the car and posted a message on his social media.

[Having a boss who cares for her subordinates is my happiness.]

She knew that I loved cars as much as my life, yet she dared to steal it and give it away to someone else.

That night, I brought all the top-of-the-line sports cars that I had collected in my garage to her.

Let her pick and send it away.

My father even agreed to a blind date with the Scott Family on my behalf overnight.

I had money, good looks and a good figure, so why should I waste my time on someone who did not love me!

——

In the evening, I stood on the balcony of the villa and gazed the sunset.

A majestic roar came from afar and a limited-edition supercar with black and gold paint appeared in front of the villa.

Marco Tucker walked around the car to the passenger seat and opened the passenger door gently and considerately.

A pair of gleaming silver stiletto heels stepped on the ground.

Louisa who was wearing a white suit and holding a white crocodile leather bag, stepped out of the car.

Her eyes were fixed on Marco, who opened the car door for her, with a hint of aggressiveness.

I saw them exchanging a few words with each other and Louisa smiled particularly happily.

A series of notifications popped up on my phone and it was an X post that Marco had just posted.

A side photo taken from the perspective of the girlfriend sitting in the passenger seat.

His slender fingers gripped the steering wheel and the corners of his mouth curved in just the right angle.

[Driving the car given by my boss to send her home and even the wind was sweet.]

At that moment, all my expectations were dashed.

When the salesperson sent me a message in the afternoon, I thought Louisa was trying to give me a surprise secretly, so I spent three hours happily in the dressing room choosing an outfit.

I waited for her for so long that I was starving. I then opened my mobile phone and saw Marco's social media.

At first, I suspected that Marco took the photos secretly behind Louisa out of vanity.

Until I saw a post on X.

I was sure now.

She really took the car that I had been longing for half a year away from the automotive dealership secretly and gave it to someone else.

I walked out and stood in front of the girl.

Marco took two steps forward with his long legs and blocked me.

"Mr. Gilmore, good evening. Ms. Watson and I just had dinner outside and came back a bit late. Please don't blame her."

Faced with his provocation, my gaze turned a bit cold and I found it somewhat funny.

In what capacity was he asking me not to blame my girlfriend?

"I haven't said anything yet, but you're eager to put the blame on me."

Marco's eyes slightly lifted and his cold face turned slightly pale.

I pulled the corners of my mouth and smiled.

"Are you used to driving?"

Having been in society for so many years, everyone had gained some insight.

A supercar worth nearly two million seven hundred dollars was not something that a marketing director with no background like Louisa could afford.

If he dared to accept it, he should be able to guess who the original owner of the car was.

He uttered a dull response. "Hmm".

Louisa stepped in front of him and pulled my sleeve.

"Alright, Lionel, doesn't he have to pick me up and drop me off every day for work?"

"Also, today, I suddenly remembered that you had ordered a supercar, so I picked it up and gave it to him."

"With so many supercars you have, you don't mind, do you?"

I put my hands in my pockets, curled the corners of my mouth and a hint of coldness and anger flashed in my eyes.

"No, I do."

"I've been waiting for this car for almost half a year and no one can take it away, not even you, my girlfriend."

Louisa did not expect me to speak so bluntly and her face suddenly turned ugly.

The atmosphere was silent.

Marco pursed his lips and said no words.

As a man, he should know why I was angry.

No man could bear to see the girl he loved using his own money to buy gifts for other men.

Even though the gift she gave was to serve herself.

"It's my fault, Mr. Gilmore. I shouldn't have accepted Ms. Watson's gift."

"I'll cancel and return it to the dealer as soon as possible."

Haha ... I sounded like a stingy person from his words.

"Marco Tucker, right? It's just a car. I can still afford it."

"I still have over a dozen supercars in my basement. Choose any one you want and consider it as a gift from me."

He looked up, a hint of surprise appearing in his eyes.

I fixed my gaze full of pressure on him.

"Louisa has been with me for nine years and has seen a lot of things. I don't think a supercar is a big deal."

"But you have to know, as an assistant, what you should and shouldn't accept."

Marco took a step back, lost his composure and apologized several times.

"It's my fault, Mr. Gilmore. Please don't blame Ms. Louisa."

Ms. Louisa?

The way he called her changed to be more intimate.

Louisa stepped on her high heels to protect the man behind her and hugged my waist.

She took out a bottle of perfume from her eight-digit Hermes bag and smiled dotingly.

"Well, my Baby, here ... I bought you a new limited-edition perfume, so don't be angry."

I stared at the perfume in her hand and recalled every moment of us for the past nine years.

Louisa and I had been dating since we were in college until now.

As a cold and aloof beauty, men pursue her and compete to get her.

But she refused decisively and stayed by my side wholeheartedly.

When we were in love, she once whispered in my ear that she would only love me and only me in her life.

She said I was her life.

But now everything had changed.

I saw admiration and heartache for another man in her eyes.

Seeing her smile and express her emotions towards him.

The perfume in her hand was more of a brand I had long since disliked.

Then, her tone was both coaxing and scolding, brought me back to my senses. "I know you are jealous because you love me, but the others who don't know will think you're targeting someone else's staff."

Targeting? He was not worthy.

I squinted as I walked into the villa in a cold voice.

"The way he looks at you is not the way an ordinary subordinate looks at his superior."

"As the marketing director, you have a keen eye, so you shouldn't miss it."

"You dare to give a supercar worth two million seven hundred dollars to the man who adores you, Louisa ...."

She frowned and pouted.

"Got it! Marco and I have nothing, not now and not in the future."

I looked at her deeply and believed her pledge of allegiance for the time being.

I had loved her for so many years, what storms had I not seen.

Jealousy over a slightly more good-looking male assistant was truly a fall from grace.

I just wanted my favorite supercar back.

I did not need to be too concerned.

After all, there was no evidence that they were having an affair.

Louisa then pulled me all the way into the bathroom.

Her eyes were a bit red and her gaze was full of charm.

"Rosie is taking a day off today. You take a shower first and I'll go fry you a steak," she said.

I nodded and looked at her leaving back, then opened the cabinet where my underwear was stored.

I frowned.

Her voice came from outside the door. "Oh, by the way, Rosie said that your underwear needs to be replaced, so she threw them all away. You can get new ones from the bottom."

I bent down and opened the bottom cabinet.

I had Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, so everything had to be neatly laid out.

Rosie paid extra attention to this and checked it carefully every day.

But in the cabinet, a box of men's underwear was missing.

In a flash, I remembered the X post Marco posted two days ago.

In his post, there was a box of underwear of this brand.

I was furious instantly and lost my sanity.

Louisa, took my underwear and gave it to his assistant?

Although I did not want to admit it, I was now so jealous that I was insane.

We had been in relationship for nine years and this was the first time I had gotten so angry over another man.

I wanted to rush downstairs and question that girl right away.

Did she know what it meant to give a man underwear as a gift?

Just as I was trying to calm my emotions and go downstairs, she pushed open the bathroom door with the flip-flop sound of her slippers.

"Lionel, Marco has returned the car to the dealer, but I need to go over to cancel the account."

"You can prepare dinner yourself."

I was already angry and hearing these words only added fuel to the fire.

"Can't you go tomorrow? Why do you have to go out so late?" asked me in annoyance.

Louisa was stunned and frowned.

"Don't you like this car? It's also for your sake that I canceled it early."

My face turned cold and so did my heart.

"You took the car without my consent. I just wanted to take back what belonged to me."

"It's too late now. It's not safe to go out. You can go tomorrow."

She took a deep breath and said, her eyes filled with disapproval of me, "You took back the gift I gave him in public and now you're letting him waste so much time at the dealer."

"Lionel, you can't just think about yourself."

"I feel strange with you like this."

My raging anger suddenly died down and what followed was endless coldness and disappointment.

I suddenly felt ridiculous.

"Am I thinking of myself?"

"Am I strange?"

"Louisa, do you want to hear what you're saying right now?"

She had some impatience on her face, but she still held back her patience to explain to me.

"My words were harsh, but you should know that Marco is the man in the company who can help me share the workload the most. You made him lose face in public today and I can't just abandon him now."

Seeing I stopped talking, she sighed.

"You have a prominent family background, Lionel, unlike ordinary people like me."

"If I want to have a future with you, I have to get stronger. Of course, you can act childish and ask me not to go today, but I don't want to disappoint my subordinates who fight side by side with me."

My head exploded with a loud bang.

It turned out that all this time she always felt that we were not a good match.

Marco was the partner who could stand shoulder to shoulder with her.

I got it.

I felt a chill in my heart and blurted out. "Go ahead."

Seeing that I had given in, she pushed the door open and left without any hesitation.

Leaving me only the refreshing fragrance of gardenia that dissipated into the air.

In the past, I admired her rational and clear nature the most.

She also said that she liked my innate arrogance and rebelliousness the most.

Now everything had changed.

I turned my gaze away from the door and let out a long sigh.

There was no point to keep a woman who had left my heart.

I took out my mobile phone and called my father who was far away in Brimstone.

"The blind date with the eldest daughter of the Scotts, I'll go."

Five years ago, after graduating from university, my father asked me to return to Brimstone to inherit the family business.

However, I did not want to leave Louisa, so I stayed in Araya.

In the past five years, I had transformed from a rich second-generation who knew nothing to a first-generation entrepreneur.

Whatever Louisa wanted to do, I accompanied her.
