While saying, her eyes reddened and she was not a person who shed tears easily. But she felt sorrowful at the moment.
At this moment, her tears flowed fiercely in the morning sunshine. She bit her lips not letting the tears drop. Unfortunately, her tears still fell when she saw his indifferent eyes. “Marley, you can’t bully me like this!”
Marley took a deep breath and his tone became even stronger. “I just want to bully you!”
He then took off his bathrobe, tucked up her clothes, and vented his desire freely leaning on her.
She closed her eyes, didn’t make a sound, and just bore his violence without giving any reaction.
Seeing her not moving at all and her tears flow fiercely from her eyes but she didn’t cry out, he stopped his action. Sylvie who was under his body made him feel even more irritated and frustrated. He frowned in annoyance, pulled his dick out instantly, and left.
Then, she heard his low voice at the door, “You can only have me as your man. If you mess around with other men, I will kill them!”
The door was slammed shut.
The villa fell into silence.
She didn’t know how long it had been, but she seemed to hear the sound of the car starting the engine.
Sylvie got up then. Her heart was sorrowful. The clothes were torn by him and they were on the carpet in the bedroom. She got up and took a shower. In the mirror, she realized there were some bruises on her fair skin. After making love, some bruises lasted for few days. These bruises were not easy to cover during summer. He did it harshly last night and this morning too. Sylvie touched the bruises and was startled a bit. Finally, she walked out of the bathroom. After drying her hair, she was very hungry.
She felt strange. She still had the appetite to eat and felt hungry even in such a situation. Sylvie laughed at herself that she was hopeless and didn’t even feel ashamed.
She changed her clothes and kept the card given by Ryan. Then, she went downstairs to the kitchen and cooked a bowl of noodles. She sat down quietly and ate the noodles. After eating, she picked up her bag and went to work.
She wouldn’t bring her emotions to work because she wanted to keep business and personal matters separated. Thinking of this, she straightened her back even more as she thought she was righteous. Then, she locked the door when she left the villa and walked to the bus stop.
When she got off the bus, she bought a set of breakfast from the supermarket which was opposite the office. This set of breakfast was for Marley.
Reception desk on the first floor of Hughes Building.
“Do you know that Mr. Ernie picked up the president’s wife yesterday?”
“The president entered the office with an angry face early in the morning. I came so early but he was earlier than me!”
“Oh my God! Mr. Ernie is a famous playboy. He has relationships with so many women! Will his Sylvie be one of them?”
“Oh my God! Is she cheating on the president?”
“Oh my God! It’s so pitiful that the president married such a woman for Hughes Group. The woman even cheated on him, he is so pitiful!”
“Shh! Sylvie is here!” …
When Sylvie entered the building, she saw two receptionists and two staff members whispering at the reception desk. She didn’t know what they were talking about. They went silent immediately when they saw her. She instantly knew that they were talking about her without any guess.
Sylvie entered the elevator quietly and ignored the strange gaze. It was the same situation in the elevator. Everyone fix their gazes on her and she took the staff elevator today too. Once the door was closed, the atmosphere of the surroundings became weird.
Almost everyone was silent. When someone looked at her, she raised her head and looked at them. But then they looked away quickly. Sylvie pursed her lips quietly and remained silent.
She went upstairs in this kind of weird atmosphere all the way.
She came to the office quite early, so the others had not come yet.
The lights were switched on in the president’s room and she knew that Marley was inside.
Sylvie stood at the door, took a deep breath, and knocked on the door. A low male voice came from the room, “Come in!”
When she opened the door, she saw him sitting on the sofa and putting his long legs on the coffee table. The room was full of smoke and there was a pile of cigarette butts in the ashtray on the coffee table.
Sylvie stood at the door. She felt a little awkward and restless, but still straightened her back, and looked at him determinedly.
Marley wore a black casual suit with three buttons of the shirt off. That should be the most attractive way to wear a shirt nowadays. His hair was black and his eyes were dark. He seemed to know that it was her and he was not surprised.
Sylvie walked over and put the breakfast on the tea table.
The pile of cigarette butts in the ashtray was very eye-catching and there were a lot. It seemed like he had been smoking since this morning.
“Have some breakfast!” She looked at him and said calmly.
Marley raised his head and looked at her. Sylvie’s eyes looked clear and she faced his eyes calmly.
However, Marley only said two words in a deep voice, “Get out!”
Sylvie didn’t move. She looked at him, bit her lips, and took a deep breath.
“Get out!” He said the two words again.
Sylvie said calmly, “The relationship between Ryan and me was clear. I never treated you as a gigolo, so you don’t have to think of yourself so lowly and looked down on yourself. You know it very well. If we can’t get along with each other, then we just don’t live together. We are tired, aren’t we?
Marley was very angry. Did she want to leave him? Couldn’t she see that he was very angry? Ignoring his anger and holding another man’s card, what was he to her!
“I say one more time, get out!” His voice already sounded extremely cold.
He didn’t want to talk to her. He was afraid that he could not hold back his anger.
Sylvie finally looked confusedly at Marley who had been angry all the time. How could there be such a weird man? It was better to say what he was not happy with but he always showed a stern face and it was scary. She was tossed all night and very tired already. He just found a card but he acted like he caught red-handed an adultery incident and now it was like that he was going to kill someone. Was he still a man?
She looked at him, and he looked back at her coldly. She pursed her lips, turned around, and walked out.
When he saw her really go out, he became more irritable. He had some unexplainable feelings in his heart.
“Return his card to him!” he asked her when she turned around to close the door.
She was stunned.
“Sylvie, I don’t allow you to hold others’ stuff, especially other men’s.
Sylvie didn’t say anything. She groaned a little and smiled softly. “Mr. Hughes, that’s my business. No matter how domineering you are, you can’t control me or bother with my daily lives! Sorry, I am going back to my own home tonight. Let’s not live together!”
She closed the door after she finished speaking.
There was a muffled sound from the room.
Sylvie didn’t know what he smashed.
When she went back to her seat, she checked the progress of her work.
Everything was fine and she made a cup of tea. At this moment, Tyler and several secretaries reached. Tyler greeted Sylvie meaningfully when he saw her, “Good morning, Sylvie!”
“Morning, Mr. Cooper!” Sylvie greeted back to him and saw him walk straight to the president’s office.
Suddenly, Sylvie heard Tyler exclaim after the door of the president’s room opened. “Oh my God!! What’s wrong? Have you been robbed?”
Then everyone looked in the direction of the president’s room. Tyler suddenly realized something was wrong, then he closed the door to hide everything inside the room.
In the president’s room.
Marley sat on the sofa. The glass ashtray fell on the ground, broke into several pieces, and the cigarette butts were scattered all over the place. It was apparently not some accident. It was Marley who had smashed the ashtray!
Tyler was stunned when he saw this scene, “Marley, what’s wrong? Are you angry?”
Marley said nothing and his face looked scarily gloomy. His eyes fixed on the box on the table that Sylvie brought to him as breakfast. He looked at the box and stood up suddenly. “Go to the construction site! You and me!”
Tyler’s jaw dropped instantly. “What do you want actually? Didn’t you say tomorrow, why do you want to change the plan and make it earlier?”
“Spot checks!” Marley said coldly.
“Ok! I ‘ll let Sylvie come and clean it up!” Tyler looked at the things on the floor, and he knew that this might be something related to Sylvie. If he let other people clean up, he was not sure what kind of rumors would be spread out.
Then Marley’s image would be getting worse than ever. Usually, he didn’t show emotion on his face. However, he had been easily irritable lately and kept losing his temper. It seemed to be getting serious every time. Now he even smashed things. This was terrible.
Marley said nothing and walked out first.
Tyler followed behind him. After he walked out, he looked at Sylvie and said, “Sylvie, please clean up the president’s office! There are some important documents inside the office and other people are not allowed to go in the president’s office today. Sylvie, you are fully in charge in this matter.”
“Uh! Ok!” Sylvie stood up immediately.
At this moment, Marley didn’t say anything and walked towards the elevator. Everyone seemed to feel there was a strange and unspeakable weird atmosphere.
Tyler’s face always had a gentle smile. It seemed that he had a gentle and elegant attitude all the time. That was why people couldn’t see his emotions.
However, Marley’s emotion was getting more and more unstable.
Alia, Maisy, and Daria looked at Sylvie. She didn’t say anything. She stopped whatever she was doing and went to the president’s office.
***
When she entered the president’s room, she saw the breakfast on the tea table still there untouched. He didn’t eat anything yet.
She was stunned. She turned around and walked a few steps, but she tripped on something and fell. Suddenly she felt a sharp tingling pain on one side of her instep. It was so painful that she almost cried.
She lowered her head. Then only she saw the ashtray on the floor. It had broken into three pieces. She sprained her ankle and one broken piece of the ashtray pierced into her instep. The broken glass tucked into the instep through her pantyhose and blood was oozing out.
She was stunned when she saw this scene.
Sylvie gritted her teeth and stepped back slowly. She walked to the sofa and took off her shoes. Then, she removed the broken glass out of the flesh carefully.
It wasn’t painful! It wasn’t painful at all!
‘Sylvie, how could you be so useless? Wasn’t it just a small wound and bled a little?’
She checked carefully once and took out the tissue from her pocket. She wiped off the blood, but there was still a lot of blood. She kept wiping the blood until a piece of tissue was completely stained with blood, only by that time, her instep stopped bleeding.
