Chapter 66 Take The me


    When I got back to thepany, I reluctantly headed to the meeting room.


    I said, "Mr. Dunce, today Mr. Carson, he..."


    He interrupted. "Isn''t here again, right? Ada, is Jude ying games with me? What does he take this coboration between the twopanies for?"


    Raymond was furious after learning Jude wasn''t there again. Having made two fruntess visits, he was done. No matter how I tried to persuade him, he refused to continue the partnership.


    I messaged Jude and posted the whole situation in the work group chat.


    Though I was the project lead, the ultimate responsibility didn''t lie with me. I wasn''t about to take the fall.


    Jude never contacted me and didn''t show up at the office all day.


    Colleagues from the design department kept asking what to do, but honestly, I had no solution.


    If the boss didn''t show up, no matter how anxious the subordinates were, it was pointless.


    Just when I thought he didn''t care about a deal worth hundreds of thousands of dors, the next morning, he called me


    into his office.


    Jude scolded, "Ada, look what you''ve done! You lost such a big project, and you''re going to take full responsibility for it!" I looked at the document he threw at me in confusion. It turned out it be the termination letter from Bright Group. The document clearly stated that the partnership was terminated due to ourpany''s fault, and we were liable forpensation.


    "Ada, you know how important this project was. Why did you screw it up?" Vivian was there too, bristling with indignation. She continued, "Ada, no matter what, you''re part of the Carson Group. How could you help Dorian instead? Even if you two have some sort of rtionship, you can''t just hand over the project to him!"


    Izily lifted my eyes to look at the two of them, their expressions almost identical in anger. And suddenly, Iughed. So that was it. Yesterday, Raymond had gone directly to Dorian, and they struck a deal.


    Now, Carson Group didn''t just lose the coboration. They had to paypensation. No wonder they were pissed. But none of this had to do with me.


    "Jude, are you out of your mind?" I threw the document back at him. "You didn''te back to sign the papers, and now you''re ming me?"


    I added, "Since when were you this irresponsible? When did you be so shameless?" I pulled out my phone and opened WhatsApp.


    I continued, "I messaged you. I tagged you in the group. What more do you want? Should I have dragged you out of the hospital myself? No one''s going to clean up your mess. If you don''t even care about your ownpany, who else will?" Jude frowned, staring at his phone, clearly confused.


    I caught a glimpse of Vivian looking guilty at the side, and I got it.


    If she had ess to Jude''s phone, she could''ve easily deleted my messages.


    But she wasn''t smart enough to think of everything. Just deleting from his phone wasn''t enough. Others still saw it.


    "Why didn''t you call? I didn''t see your messages. This is on you!" Jude started arguing irrationally. I realized he had became utterly shameless.


    I stared at him, amused. Vivian snapped first, "Ada, you did this on purpose for your lover, to screw over Jude! Thepany shouldn''t be the one paying for this!" She added, "You love money so much. Did Dorian offer you something?"


    Vivian looked at me with hatred in her eyes. I looked her over from head to toe. She was dressed in luxury bra worth over tens of thousands of dors. easily


    Being stared at made her ufortable, and she took a few steps back. I finally spoke. "Unlike some people, I don''t be someone''s mistress just for money."


    I turned to Jude. "Jude, I did call. I don''t know what Vivian told you, but you can check with the phonepany yourself."


    I picked up my phone and walked out of his office.


    If he had even a shred of brain left, he''d know who was messing with him and who he should be ming.


    But if he insisted on dumping the me on me just to protect Vivian, I wouldn''t mind dragging us both down in mes. The more I thought about it, the more frustrated I became.


    Chapter 66 Take The me


    It hit me. After loving this man for so many years, he turned out to be brainless. That about summed up how I felt


    Back when he cheated on me, I could chalk it up to revenge. After all, our breakup had been messy


    But now, he didn''t even care about hispany. All he did was try to pin everything on someone else to protect his mistress. I honestly couldn''t respect him anymore. I hadn''t even made it to the elevator before he caught up with me. Jude shouted, "Ada, wait!"


    I didn''t want to hear another word from him and quickly stepped into the elevator He reached out and grabbed my cor. My footing slipped, and I fell backward. Jude moved fast and caught me, but his right hand slid right through my hair. "I''m sorry, Ada. I didn''t mean to grab so hard. Are you okay?" His panicked voice echoed in the elevator


    I quickly stood up and looked down. He was holding a clump of my hair. It was a


    lot.


    I closed my eyes briefly. After several rounds of chemo, hair loss was inevitable.


    I said, "If only you worked as hard at your job as you do at causing me trouble."


    I rubbed the top of my head as if it hurt from his grip.


    Jude looked like he wanted to say more, but I was already in the elevator.


    The side effects of chemo were bing more obvious. Staring at my pale face


    and thinning hair in the elevator mirror! felt a wave of sadness.


    I really needed to go buy a pretty wig soon.
