Chapter 6

• One day, she promised herself that she would repay the humiliation she had received that day. As Cindy thought about this, her desire grew stronger, and her ambitions expanded. When she looked up, she noticed that Luke Huxley had not followed Dexie to the Office of Civil Matters to complete the divorce. Instead, he returned with a gloomy expression.
• Cindy's beautiful eyes darkened imperceptibly. As Luke Huxley
• As he approached her, she put on a hurt expression, hoping to elicit sympathy from him.
• "Mr. Dawson..."
• Luke Huxley looked at her without saying a word. Cindy interpreted this as a positive sign, and her heart raced. Blushing, Cindy gave Luke Huxley a sheepish look, feeling so excited that she clenched her fists tightly.
• She believed that Mr. Dawson liked her. Otherwise, why hadn't he explained anything to Dexie when she misunderstood their relationship?
• Did it mean he had acknowledged it? Cindy could almost envision her future as Mrs. Dawson. In the next moment, she spoke with determination, "What did you say to Dexie when she came here?"
• Cindy suddenly felt nervous and panicked inside.
• "I said nothing. When Mrs. Dawson arrived, she called me a slut and accused me of keeping you away from home all day because of me." Luke Huxley stuttered with fear, but a hint of self-satisfaction crept into his voice.
• Luke Huxley remained silent as he walked past her. Cindy thought he believed the story until she heard him say, "Send her to the Finance Department to collect her outstanding salary. Then ensure she leaves Dawson Corporation immediately."
• Cindy blanched at his words. She turned to look at Luke Huxley, but he walked away from her.
• "Mr. Dawson..."
• Cindy tried to reach out to him, but Warry, who was behind Luke Huxley, stopped her.
• "Mr. Warry..."
• "Mr. Dawson detests troublemakers. There are plenty of secretaries who can accompany him to dinner. If I can arrange it for you, I can also do it for others. You're not special to him," Warry remarked.
• His words shattered Cindy's ambitions.
• She now understood that Warry was the reason Mr. Dawson had selected her for their dinner date. It had nothing to do with Mr. Dawson's appreciation for her. Mrs. Dawson was right. She was as foolish as a pig. The most foolish thing was to think she could deceive Mr. Dawson. She had lost the opportunity to confess.
• This time, Cindy was in complete panic. Her arrogance gave way to fear. Leaving Dawson Corporation wasn't frightening. Mr. Dawson dismissed the issue. After this, what reputable company would hire her? She struggled to accept or understand the situation. Mr. Dawson despised his wife so much, yet he believed she had offended Dexie. Because of a woman's accusations, he had bid her farewell.
• Hadn't Mr. Dawson heard the degrading comments Dexie had made? Before?
• "Mr. Warry, I... know I was wrong. Please help me. I won't do it again," Cindy pleaded.
• Warry refused to upset his despondent boss for being such a fool. His assumption that a certain level of intelligence was required for the clerk's office proved to be incorrect.
• These women were overly ambitious and had voracious appetites.
• Warry looked at Cindy mercilessly and advised her, "You better leave voluntarily. If you stay, security will escort you out, which is shameful."
• "Mr. Warry! Mr. Warry!"
• Cindy no longer cared about her image and shouted in public.
• Shaw's hall. The employees enjoyed the spectacle, but no one intervened to help her. She held her head high, having accompanied the president twice, only to face his scorn. Who would dare get involved in her issues?
• After dealing with Cindy, Warry hurriedly entered the elevator. The memory of his boss's somber face haunted him as he ascended the stairs. He also pondered why Mrs. Dawson was so eager for a sudden divorce. Little did she know that the divorce initiator was dissatisfied with the concept.
• As Warry reached the top, his phone rang. It was Dexie's call. Previously, Dexie only called when they couldn't locate Luke Huxley. Today, her call seemed more serious. He hesitated whether to answer. A secretary approached him, informing him, "Mr. Warry, the president is looking for you."
• Warry decided not to answer Dexie's call. When he entered the office, his phone continued to ring.
• Luke Huxley's icy gaze fell on his phone, freezing anyone in its path.
• Warry noticed his boss's expression and quickly handed him the phone, whispering, "It's... It's Mrs. Dawson's."
• Luke Huxley's face darkened, and he remained silent. Warry, who thought he understood "the emperor's heart," found himself in a dilemma.
• "Mr. Dawson, it's Mrs. Dawson's call. Should I respond?"
• By now, Warry realized how challenging it was to please his boss. Luke Huxley's eyes turned stormy at the incessant ringing of the phone.
• "Answer it!"
• "Yeah." Warry picked up the phone and put it on speaker.
• Dexie's impatient voice came through the phone, demanding, "
• Mr. Warry, tell Luke Huxley that my time is not his to waste. If he doesn't have time to complete the divorce today, he must provide a clear timeline."
• "Uh, Mrs. Dawson..."
• Warry looked at Luke Huxley, who remained silent. Taking a deep breath, Warry carefully replied, "Mrs. Dawson, Mr. Dawson has important matters to discuss today. Please wait a little longer. When he's less busy, I'll ask him again. Is that alright?"
• "Okay. Tell him to hurry. Stop wasting time on something as simple as a divorce!" Dexie's voice was commanding.
• Warry was at a loss for words. He looked up to see Luke Huxley's darkening expression. Luke Huxley snatched the phone from him and called out, "Dexie..."
• But all he heard was the dial tone. Dexie had hung up before he could speak. Seeing Luke Huxley's darkening expression, Warry felt extremely uncomfortable and trembled slightly.
• His pent-up anger increased because Dexie had never hung up on him.
• The damn woman had indeed turned against him.
