Joshua blew smoke rings in my face, and I was suddenly pulled back into my thoughts.

My hands trembled as I untied the straps of my dress and underwear from my shoulders one by one.

"Whatever you like, I'll do it..."

Joshua's office walls were made of glass.

There were some stripes blocking visibility, but if you looked closely, you could see everything clearly.

He was the president, and ordinary employees dared not loiter near his door. But there was always someone passing by.

Joshua was trying to intimidate me with this.

However, I didn't mind. Because in this circle, I no longer had any reputation or dignity left, and I wasn't afraid of adding another joke.

"Josh, Beckie is ready..."

I uttered a low moan in the voice he loved to hear. One hand pressed against the belt at his waist, and the other grabbed the hem of my dress and pulled it down abruptly.

"You're crazy!"

Joshua quickly turned over and pinned me down on the sofa, his broad shoulders covering me tightly.

His face was livid, his eyes sharp as knives, looking as if he wanted to stab me to death.

"Is that man so important to you? Worth sacrificing yourself for him?!"

Of course, Benjamin was the most important person in my life.

We grew up together since childhood. We were truly childhood sweethearts.

When I was young, I was bullied by the older kids at the orphanage, and every time, it was Benjamin who stood in front of me to protect me.

Whenever there was extra food, Benjamin would pretend he didn't like it and give his share to me.

When I was studying without focus, he would shake his head in helplessness while helping me review.

In the winter of my fourteenth year, I mischievously went ice-skating on the river but accidentally fell into the water. Without hesitation, he grabbed my hand and struggled to pull me out.

Without him, perhaps I wouldn't be in this world today.

Ben gave me peace and happiness throughout my childhood.

He was such a good man, but fate did not treat him kindly by giving him a healthy body.

He was born with congenital heart disease and was abandoned.

If there were any hope to save him, I would do anything, even sacrifice my dignity, to make it happen.

Seeing that I didn't respond, Joshua scolded angrily, "Shameless!"

I was somewhat confused. "Do you know me yesterday?"

People thought that Joshua fell for me and let me keep him company for half a year, which was longer than any of his previous girlfriends.

In fact, Joshua never truly fell for me. I found that out when the first time I tried to seduce him.

That day, when I came to his bedroom to confess my love to him late at night in thin clothes, Joshua's eyes showed no desire but only something like knowing mockery.

For a moment, I felt so ashamed that I could hardly lift my head.

I forgot although he was fickle, the women he usually kept company with were extraordinary beauties. How could he possibly have any interest in me, such an ordinary and uninteresting person?

Just when I could no longer bear his gaze and was about to turn and flee, Joshua grabbed my hand.

"Alright, since you say you like me, then stay by my side. Come on, let me see what skills you have."

At that time, I was really confused. He knew that I had my purpose and that I was mediocre, yet he agreed to it.

Later, I realized that for Joshua, there were too many women who were deliberately trying to get close to him.

Each of them was exceptional in appearance, skilled, and well-controlled. Although they were also there for his money, they were tactful and precise in their words, making him willingly spend the money.

I was the exception. I didn't know any skills, I wasn't outstanding in appearance, and my acting was poor, yet I still dared to imitate those women boldly.

This amused him greatly.

He enjoyed occasionally tearing apart my lies during our interactions and verbally humiliating me, then watching me clumsily cover up my true self, trying desperately to act more genuinely about loving him.

These seemed to be an extremely special pastime in his lavish and boring life.

So I precisely found my role: a 'foolish gold digger who thinks she can succeed even though she has been seen through'. I would play this role for his amusement and entertainment.

Therefore, he knew from the beginning that I was insincere and only after his money. So I couldn't understand why he was behaving as if I had deceived his feelings now.

After much thought, there could only be one reason.
