Chapter 272 Strength in Detachment

After Victoria left, Sadie washed her face at the sink and reminded herself to keep it together and not make another faux pas.

Every time she thought of Micah, her heart filled with indignation.

It was Micah who was two-timing, openly flirting with others right in front of her. He was always so composed, so why should she be the one flustered as if she had done something wrong? Their relationship had never been normal. It had started as a secret, something to be hidden away.

Could she really expect him to be as loyal as a partner in a regular relationship?

Looking back, she had never intended to seriously be with him. She was coerced and powerless and just went along with his demands.

Hadn't she been hoping that one day he would tire of her and set her free? Why was she now falling apart at the sight of him being slightly affectionate with another woman? This wasn't right! It couldn't go on like this!

Taking a deep breath, Sadie forced a smile and whispered to herself, 'Stay calm, composed, and detached...'

If she didn't care, she wouldn't be affected.

Silently repeating these words to herself, Sadie left the restroom and began her work with renewed focus.

After tidying up the break room, it was just about 11:00 a.m., and the meeting was over.
