Chapter: 44

"Aimee, I'm pretty busy at the moment. I'll talk to you later, okay?"

After hanging up, Bethany plopped down on the sofa and opened the employee group chat for the first time since Aimee added her.

It didn't take long before she stumbled upon a picture of Jonathan and Maddie arriving at work together.

Jonathan looked as cold and serious as ever, while Maddie smiled brightly, her eyes filled with undisguised admiration.

The chat was abuzz with discussions about how perfect the two looked together.

A sense of sadness welled up in Bethany's heart. Feeling upset, she deleted the chat record.

But before she could put down her phone, a notification popped up on her screen.

The text read, "Add me to your friends list." It was from Jonathan.

She paused. After mulling it over for a bit, she tapped on his profile to add him as a friend, only to find that he had already sent a friend request.

Just then, another notification popped up-someone had messaged the employee group chat.

“Who's the administrator of this chat group? Dissolve it right now."

The sender? Jonathan himself.

It turned out that Jonathan had caught wind that he was the talk of the company.

Now that Bethany had accepted Jonathan's friend request, she could see the animation of a speech bubble in their dialogue box, indicating he was typing something.

It seemed he wanted to say something to her.

But after a while, the speech bubble disappeared, and no message was sent. Soon, she saw that he was typing again.

Bethany tilted her head to the side, tempted to ask him why he was so hesitant, but in the end, she pretended not to notice and continued packing her things.

She didn't have much, just some clothes and books on finances. After packing everything, she called the landlord to negotiate getting her deposit back, but the stubborn landlord refused to give her the whole amount.

Finally, they settled on a reimbursement of a thousand dollars, on the condition that she moved out by that day.

She sighed resignedly. After all, she was the one who broke the rental contract.

After settling things with the Landlord, Bethany loaded two suitcases into the taxi and then checked her phone.

"I'll be home at six," Jonathan had texted.

He was coming back today?

Bethany pursed her lips. She was a little worried he would try to have sex with her again.
