Chapter 26: Being Regarded as a Mistress (1)
marriage at all costs.
After hanging up, I directly dropped Geoffrey's phone number into the blacklist.
...
enough, I planned to ask Merlin to go to the mall and buy a suit of professional
dress.
For me, joining in the secretarial department of the Wayne Group had already
broken the rule. And it was the boss himself who broke the rule for me. As a
student enrollment, I was airborne to the secretarial department without an
examination or an interview. It could be estimated that there was a lot of gossip
as soon as I took office. I understood the truth that people preferred to repeat
word for word what others say.
Indeed, it was true for me to get this job because of sleeping with the boss. If I
didn't sleep with Wayne Gilbert, I wouldn't get this position even though I worked
hard for ten years.
Merlin had a good eye for beauty. She chose several suits which matched my
skin very much. But the price exceeded my budget. Although I really wanted to
buy them, I still controlled myself and put them back.
"Lydia, how did you get into Katherine's uncle's company? Wasn't it because of
the unwritten rule?" Merlin picked up a light grey skirt and compared whether it
fitted me, then she suddenly asked.
"I really have something to do with Wayne Gilbert, but it's not as dirty as you
think." We are just the casually sexual friends...
Merlin didn't think much about it. After all, It was not realistic that I had an affair
with Wayne Gilbert. If I myself didn't get involved in it, I would not believe that the
relationship between Wayne Gilbert and I had been like this, from one-night
stand to all-night stand!
"Merlin, the other days I saw you wrote in the circle of friends that you entered
the theatrical group?"
Merlin had been acting for five or six years, but she even didn't ranked in the
second and third level. She played some insignificant roles who would die in a
very short time in the studio city every day.
"Yeah, I have undergone a screen test for a character the other days. Although
there are not many episodes, I can be photographed, and there are several
"Congratulations, Merlin!"
Then, we went to several brand discount stores and bought two discounted black
professional suits. We didn't go out of the shopping mall tirelessly and reluctantly
until it was 4 p.m.
With shopping bags in both hands, I was going to say goodbye to Merlin. A
woman with heavy makeup came out of the entrance of the elevator in the
shopping mall and headed straight for our direction.
"Little bitch, I finally find you today. You are Merlin Felton, right? You, a
shameless woman, dare to seduce my husband. You want to sleep with my
husband and to be famous, right? I think you have been crazy in order to be
famous. Please look at yourself, a bitch."
The woman went straight to Merlin and slapped her in her face without saying
one word. I was stunned. Merlin was beaten in a daze and stared at the woman
who was carrying the LV bag and dressing up in fashion.
"You're insane. My friend doesn't have boyfriend. You, a crazy woman, why are
you unreasonable and making a mess here?" I pushed the woman aside and
protected Merlin.
"Well, you ask her if she knows Richard Hunter? I'm Richard Hunter's wife. She's
Richard Hunter's mistress outside."
Looking at that the woman was serious as she said and Merlin's face was pale, I
felt terrible and I thought that what the woman said might be true.
"You are Nelly Smith. It is impossible. Richard told me that you have divorced. He
won't lie to me. He has been together with me for half a year. He won't cheat me
for half a year." Merlin looked doubtful.
Nelly Smith sneered and said, "Little bitch, don't you know whether we have
divorced or not? I think that in order to get rich, you even can be shameless. You
slept with a man who is more than ten years older than you and you broke up
others' family. I ask you, did Richard give you money? I advise that you'd better
return the money he gave you..."
"Hey, you old woman, don't speak so rudely. And since my friend has said she
didn't know, it must be true." When I saw Nelly Smith was unwilling to stop
humiliate Merlin, I immediately stepped forward bravely and protected her.
Once the woman named Nelly Smith heard my irony, she turned around like a
mad woman, rushed over and slapped me on my right face!
