Silas then walked off after saying that, leaving Lucy rooted to the spot as she processed what he had just told her.
So... I'm the one who screwed myself over and got kicked out as a result...
The hatred in her was so intense that Lucy found it a little hard to breathe.
With a confused look in her eyes, she stared at her suitcase and the middle-aged woman locking the door.
I now have no job, no place to stay, and not much money on me... What am I going to do? Where will I stay? I
thought losing my job wasn't a big problem as I could just find another job somewhere near Thompson Group and
still get to see Shane often, but... My plans are all ruined now that I've lost my apartment unit! What am I going to
do now? Return to my old house in the village? No, I don't want to go back to that run-down piece of crap! Not after
I've experienced the luxury and comfort of this apartment unit! Besides, I'll never get the chance to see Shane
again if I return to the village! What do I do?!
With that in mind, Lucy held her hands over her face and wept silently.

earlier.
Shane was going through some documents at the time and only gave Silas an uninterested nod in response.
“Have two men monitor her at all times. Try to force her back to the village as soon as possible. It annoys me
knowing that she's still in J City!” he said while closing the folder in his hand.
Silas nodded. “Understood!”
“By the way, Natalie and I have decided on the date of our honeymoon, and we'll be departing in three days. I've
sent you an email with a list of the countries and cities that we'll be visiting. Highlight the places of interest and
provide me with the details when you've made the hotel reservations accordingly.”
The corners of Silas' lips twitched slightly upon hearing that. “Yes, sir!”
Hmph! Just wait till Sal and I get married! We'll be going on a honeymoon too!
“That'll be it for now. You can train someone new and have him take your place when we come back from our
honeymoon next month,” Shane added.
Silas got really excited when he heard that. “Thank you, Mr. Thompson!”
Once the new personal assistant takes my place, I'll be able to become a CEO in one of the branch offices! That
means I'll finally have a proper work-life balance! No more staying up late, waking up early, and rushing over Mr.
Thompson's aid in the middle of the night whenever something happens! On top of that, I can also put my own
personal assistant through that hell I went through! Most importantly, I'll be able to spend more time with Sal and
bring forward our wedding! It won't be long before we go on our honeymoon and start having kids! This is a definite
win for me, no matter how you look at it!
Silas was so happy that he could barely hide the smile on his face. Shane simply rolled his eyes in response and
motioned for him to leave.
Silas then let out an awkward chuckle and quickly stepped out of Shane's office.
Three days went by rather quickly, and Shane went on his honeymoon with Natalie.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmInstead of going with a public airline, they went with his private jet for increased comfort and privacy.
Shane changed into a casual set of clothes that Natalie had designed for him.
As he never really had the chance to wear them due to being too busy with work, this honeymoon gave him the
perfect opportunity to put them on.
Natalie had always wanted to see him wearing those clothes, so that was one item checked off her bucket list right
there.
She narrowed her eyes slightly and sipped on some red wine while staring at Shane as he read through Silas' travel
guide.
Noticing her gaze, Shane looked up at her and asked, “What is it?”
Natalie propped her chin up with one hand as she said, “Nothing. I was only admiring how handsome you look,
that's all!”
These casual clothes give him a gentle look as opposed to his usual cold and unapproachable appearance. In other
words, he looks handsome in a different way!
Shane smirked in response to her compliment and placed his wine glass down before pulling her into his arms.
“Here, take a good, long look at me.”
