Q.3
I ran into Karen Lynn when I went to the company to find my agent.
She frowned, rubbing her shoulder, and looked up to scold me, but stopped herself when she
saw it was me.
“What a coincidence!”
Charlie Lewis probably had to come back to take care of some business and brought her along because he didn’t want her to be alone.
She quickly snatched up my resignation letter that had fallen to the floor and exclaimed. “Charlie just took some time off to hang out with me. Why are you throwing a fit and
resigning?”
She grabbed my hand and apologized.
“I’m so sorry, Shirley. We were just tired from staying out so late, and I begged him to take the day off to be with me. It completely slipped my mind to tell you.”
“Don’t worry, we won’t do it again. We’ll definitely let you know well in advance next time, so you won’t be put in an awkward position.”
“That WeChat post I made last night was too harsh. Please don’t take it to heart.”
“Actually, I’m still very grateful to you for being with Charlie all these years and taking such good care of him.”
She smiled, gentle and magnanimous.
I smiled back and tried to pull my hand away.
“There’s no need to say any of this. I really am…”
Karen Lynn’s smile didn’t falter, but she held my hand tightly.
I didn’t think much of it; I just didn’t want to have anything to do with her anymore.
With a sudden, forceful movement, I slapped her across the face.
A clear, red palm print instantly appeared on Karen Lynn’s pale face.
She covered her face, looking incredulous, and then tried to retaliate.
Charlie Lewis rushed over and grabbed her hand.
“Karen, what are you doing?”
Watching Charlie Lewis stand in front of me, a wave of resentment washed over me, and I
couldn’t help but cry.
Karen Lynn pointed at her own face, her eyes also brimming with tears.
“Charlie, she hit me first! She said I was shameless for stealing someone else’s boyfriend and
slapped me. I was so angry I wanted to hit her back, but you just happened to see it. She must have deliberately provoked me!”
Charlie Lewis slowly released her hand.
He believed Karen Lynn and gently stroked her face.
“It was my mistake. Does it hurt?”
He wiped away Karen Lynn’s tears, shielded her behind him, and glared at me coldly.

“Apologize.”
Before my tears could even fall, he clicked his tongue in annoyance.
“You’re the one with no morals. How dare you cry?”
The System, unable to watch any longer, shouted at Charlie Lewis.
“Get your eyes checked! Why do you believe her and not your own girlfriend?”
“Have you forgotten that Karen Lynn abandoned you to marry Zack Reaves and go abroad?
Shirley saved your life when you tried to kill yourself!”
“You said she was your only salvation in this world. Have you forgotten everything?”
“Just wait. When she really leaves, you’ll regret it.”
Charlie Lewis chuckled softly, then said calmly,
“Karen is the only one in my heart. I don’t care about anyone else.”
As soon as he said that, not only was I stunned, but the System was too.
“How does it seem like he can hear what I’m saying?”
I didn’t say a word, just gently wiped away my tears before speaking softly.
“I’m sorry.”
Charlie Lewis looked surprised.
“You’re right. I’m morally bankrupt and unworthy to be your assistant.”
I took my resignation letter back and signed it.
“So, I’m resigning.”
His expression froze for a moment, and his smile slowly faded.
“Are you serious about this?”
I ignored him and walked past.
He started to follow me, but Karen Lynn grabbed his arm.
“Charlie, she’s just putting on an act. She’d never actually leave.”
Sure enough, he stopped.
I sneered, ignoring him.
Time will tell.
