Looks like he already came back…Â
Jovana felt a little nervous and strode into the building.Â
The assistant spotted her from far away, like seeing a savior, and jogged over. “Ms. Atherton, you’re finally here. I just went to the president’s office to deliver some documents. Mr. Dunbar was so scary today. I even heard him losing his temper upstairs justÂ
now…”Â
ovana pressed her lips together. Looked like things were worse than she thought.Â
She patted the assistant on the shoulder, “It’s okay, I’ll go up and take a look.”Â
President’s Office.Â
When Jovana pushed the door open and went in, Armando was sitting in the boss chair looking at a stack of documents, his face alm as usual, always cool and collected.Â
t wasn’t as aggressive as the assistant said.Â
but the more it was like this, the more nervous Jovana got…Â
he gently closed the door.Â
The man finished reading the file in his hand, then finally glanced at her and said in a flat voice, “Weren’t you supposed to go to the nall? How come I heard you went to Glory Fencing Club?”Â
ovana froze for a second, her face a bit pale. She pressed her lips together and said gently, “Do you want some coffee?”Â
lack when they gave each other the cold shoulder, no matter if it was his fault or not, he would force himself to calm down, pull er to a quiet place where no one was around, and they would just sit there. After they both calmed down, they would talk.Â
This time, Jovana was the one who calmed down first.Â
She just went straight to the coffee machine…Â
I asked you, what did you go to Glory Fencing Club for! Why did you lie to me?”Â
Armando’s eyes turned red. He pointed at her and gave a cold laugh, then slapped the stack of files in his hand right onto her. With a clatter, the files scattered to the ground, all covered with stuff from the internet about her and Harland-comments andÂ
acturesÂ
lovana’s face, which was already pretty pale, just got even whiter…Â
A few thin sheets of paper hitting her didn’t hurt at all, but her heart was left torn to pieces by death by a thousand cutsÂ
She vaguely remembered back then, when they graduated from high school and went on a trip together. She got separated from him, and her phone just happened to be dead and turned off. When he found her, he was so mad his eyes turned rest, really wanted to give her a hard time, inut in the end he just felt so sorry for her. He hugged her tight, his voice choking, “It’s my fault, I didn’t take good care of you!Â
The man who never said a harsh word to her before hit her for the second time today.Â
She couldn’t help tearing up, held back the strong bitterness, and when she looked up at him, her eyes were full of disappointmentÂ
and hurt.Â
Armando froze for a secondÂ
He didn’t know if it was just his imagination, but he actually saw a hint of determination in Jovana’s eyes… kind of like the tragic feeling of a hero making a tough choice.Â
This made Armando especially nervous.Â

Actually, after he threw the file, he regretted it.Â
But whenever he thought about how she lied to him and secretly went to see Harland, he just got angrier and angrier.Â
Armando slapped the table and kicked over a stool. “Why aren’t you saying anything? If you hadn’t been exposed, how long were you planning to keep sneaking around with someone else behind my back?”Â
“Jovana! You took me for a fool?”Â
The corners of the man’s eyes were red, and you could faintly see a bit of moisture, like he’d been really wronged.Â
Jovana was totally thrown off by that sentence, staring blankly at the chair that had been kicked sideways-Â
What did she do wrong?Â
Wasn’t she the one who got wronged and ignored from the very beginning?Â
Wasn’t she the one who got fooled like an idiot?Â
Wasn’t he the one who promised to only love her back then, and then was also the first to fall out of love?Â
She forced down the pain rising in her chest and bent over to pick up the papers scattered on the floor, “Armando, we…”Â
Suddenly, the man stepped on the paper, and his foot landed on her fingers too.Â
‘Ah…” Jovana gasped in pain.Â
The man was angry and didn’t notice at all.Â
He pulled her up, his big hand gripping her thin shoulders hard, his eyes bloodshot as he stared at her, every word like a sharpÂ
