Catherine's POV

Soon, I returned to work.

But I could sense a shift in the attitude of my colleagues towards me.

In the morning meeting, Mark, the deputy director, had a big fight with Melinda over a contract.

Melinda said angrily, "He did it on purpose because everyone in the company is gossiping about you and King Blake's breakup."

"I'm sorry, Melinda. I got you into this mess. If it weren't for me, they wouldn't have made it difficult for you." I felt guilty.

"Catherine, don't say that. Mark has a beef with me anyway," Melinda comforted me.

The incident with Melinda occurred only a few days before the project in my hands was snatched away.

I won the project from Leo's company. I asked Lucy to take care of the project while I was on leave. When I came back to work, she said that she wanted to sort out some files before giving the project back to me. I agreed. However, she kept stalling every time I asked her. She was unwilling to hand over the project back to me, and she even quarreled with me.

"Catherine, you are going to leave the company, right? Will you take away all your clients as well? Stop messing around. This project belongs to the company. You can't take it with you!" Lucy said sarcastically.

I retorted, "Who told you that I'm leaving?"

"It goes without saying, OK? You know better than anyone else. You and King Blake have broken up. As his ex, how do you have the nerve to stay here? You'd better leave before King Blake kicks you out. You don't want to embarrass yourself in front of everyone," Lucy mocked.

I was so pissed off, but I had to keep my head.

"Our breakup won't affect my work. If you don't give my project back today, you'll see the consequences." I didn't want to quarrel. I just wanted to do my job.

"Well, well. Do you still think you are the Lycan Luna? How dare you talk to me like this? I am not afraid of you, and it's my project now. There's no way I'll give it back to you," Lucy said.

The workplace was such a cruel place. Though I had heard Melinda talk about how brutal the workplace was before I joined the company, I had never encountered anything like this before.
