Chapter 183

If Jonathan had stayed any longer, I couldn’t be sure that he wouldn’t strangle me.

I shook my head and tried to push him out of my mind. Yet, I couldn’t help but think about the lonely curve of his back as he left.

Was I mistaken?

Could a man like Jonathan express such emotions?

I let out a self-deprecating chuckle. What was I thinking? I shouldn’t be making things up!

He was just upset because I was close to Frederick.

If I kept thinking this way, I would only end up hurt again.

After Jonathan’s departure, he didn’t come looking for me for a long while.

He never approached me directly before, but he’d at least watch me from afar. I would often spot him lingering outside my office.

I’d sometimes also learn about how he was doing through Alicia, who constantly showed up to pick a fight.

But this time, it was as if he had completely vanished from my life.

He hadn’t brought up whether he wanted a divorce or not. It felt like we were caught in a silent standoff.

I knew he was mad that I said Frederick was special to me. But, so what?

What made me special to Jonathan was gone the moment Alicia stepped into the picture.

All I did was give him a taste of what I had gone through.

But I doubted Jonathan would feel anything. I was, at most, turning him away a few times. Based on my feelings for him before I lost my memory and his indifference toward me, he was simply not used to my aversion toward him. This was far from enough to hurt him.

I thought that would be the end of it. Even though Jonathan didn’t want me to quit, I had already started my business. As far as I was concerned, our professional ties should’ve ended.

But less than a month later, I arrived at the company to see the New Voyage signage at the door being shoved aside.

A huge signboard had gone up next to our office with the words “Millenia Corporation” plastered onto it.

I was taken aback for a moment. I hurried over only to discover that our office had been moved to the other side.

Yvonne approached, her expression grave. “What should we do, Ms. Sawyer?”

“What’s going on?” I asked, frowning.

Chapter 183

“A group of people came here this morning and said that Millenia Corporation would be operating here. They rented out the space next to ours and claimed that this area was a shared zone. But, it seems their boss bought out the entire section. So, it’s now technically their workspace. They moved all their workstations here…”

My fists clenched as my eyes blazed with anger.

This sounded like Jonathan’s handiwork!

What was he trying to do? Was he trying to force me to go home? Did he want to run my company into the ground?

That was not happening!

I took a deep breath and headed back.

Millenia Corporation was also located in the city center. It wasn’t far from my office, but the buildings were worlds apart.

It was the tallest skyscraper in Harthville, stretching hundreds of floors. Jonathan had two offices there. One was on a mid-level floor used for entertaining guests, and the other was located on the top floor, which served as his lounge. He often spent the night there.

According to Gabrielle, I used to come here often to spend time with Jonathan. But I was always met with his scorn.

He had always drawn a firm line between business and personal matters and hated mixing the two. I became his secretary to be near him and to keep an eye on the women around him. It was no wonder he had no patience for me.

But what I couldn’t understand was why he married me if he hated me following him around.

Why did he make me his secretary?

I had scrawny limbs. What kind of threat could I possibly be to him?
