Ex Cried as I Wed a Tycoon

Chapter 392

The next morning at work, Effie was startled when Shirley hurried over to her-her left cheek was swollen and red.

Effie rushed to her, alarmed. "What happened? Are you okay?"

The others in the office watched, clearly expecting a scene. Everyone knew things had soured between Shirley and Effie, so seeing Effie so concerned looked a lot like she was throwing herself at someone who wanted nothing to do with her.

Effie wrapped her arms around Shirley, speaking gently. "You did great. But who hit you? Was it Peter? Or Irving Butler?"

Shirley sniffled. "It was Peter. He said if I'd agree to be with him, I could climb the ranks in no time. I turned him down, and he slapped me."

Effie's eyes widened with concern. "Are you alright? Did he hurt you anywhere else?"
