Love from My Dominant Boss

Chapter 8

  • “Say, what should I do now, Natalie?”
  • I stared out the window blankly with a lost look in my eyes.
  • For all these years, Justin had been my everything, and my life revolved around him. But now, I’m left with nothing. I felt as though I had lost all motivation, without the slightest inkling what I could do that would still be of significance.
  • “He was just a scumbag, Anna. It’s actually a good thing that you discovered his true colors now. It’d be far too late if you only found out after marrying him.”
  • Sitting down beside me, Natalie gave me a comforting hug. All the while, I could see the anguish in her eyes.
  • “But it hurts so badly…”
  • Having said that, I hugged Natalie tightly. My tears had long since dried up in the past few days, but the pain within me simply wouldn’t go away.
  • “Anna, you’ll definitely forget that scumbag one day. On top of that, you’ll absolutely find someone a thousand times better than him! At that time, he’ll regret losing you,” Natalie asserted as she stared right into my eyes.
  • At least I still have a good friend keeping me company right now. If it weren’t for her comforting and encouraging me, I really don’t know whether I would’ve made it this far.
  • “Get dressed and apply some makeup. We’ll go shopping today and have some retail therapy. I want you to forget that scumbag, Justin Xenakis, from tomorrow onward!”
  • Natalie dragged me out of bed, forcing me to get dressed and doll myself up.
  • Then, we went to a nearby mall and shopped at the women’s section.
  • Having previously heard that Justin’s company owned the particular mall, I instinctively wanted to back out. Alas, Natalie had a death grip on me.
  • Knowing that she wanted to help me get over him, I didn’t leave despite the aversion within me.
  • We proceeded to explore the women’s section. In no time, Natalie’s hands were laden with her spoils of the day. On the other hand, I didn’t buy anything since I truly wasn’t in the mood to shop.
  • All of a sudden, I caught sight of a couple nearby—it was Justin and Mabel. A stab of pain assailed me, and I hurriedly whirled around, tugging Natalie in a bid to leave.
  • “Why are you pulling at me, Anna? I’m not done here.”
  • Natalie didn’t see the two people nearby, so she was a tad disgruntled at my odd behavior.
  • “Let’s go someplace else, Natalie. I don’t want to stay here anymore.”
  • I turned my back to the two people heading my way, not wanting them to notice me.
  • Frowning, Natalie regarded me in puzzlement, perhaps confounded by my sudden change in attitude.
  • Just when she was about to say something, the two people spotted me.
  • “Anna, what a coincidence to bump into you here! I never expected you to recover from your breakup so quickly. It’s just been a few days, but you’re already in the mood to shop.”
  • Mabel’s mocking voice pierced the air.
  • Having been struck where it hurt most, I was undeniably disheartened. Nonetheless, I would never show it before them because they weren’t worth it!
  • Upon seeing Justin and Mabel, Natalie finally understood why I was trying to drag her away.
  • Immediately, she stepped before me and shielded me behind her.
  • “Oh, I was just wondering who it was, but it turned out to be a homewrecker who had been ruining someone’s relationship for a few years. So, how does it feel to be a homewrecker?”
