Unveiled: The Survivor's Triumph

Chapter 78 You're Jealous

I withdrew my hand that was about to knock on the door and walked over to the window, peeking through the blinds. What I saw made my heart race.

Inside the office, Ethan was sitting at his desk, and a woman had her arms around his neck.

Even though I could only see the back of the woman, I recognized her immediately. It was Lacey.

Ethan's face was obscured by Lacey's head, and from my angle, it looked like they were kissing intimately.

My heart sank. I walked to the door and turned the handle to open it. I knew Ethan didn't have the habit of locking his door.

They both looked at me simultaneously. Ethan seemed surprised to see me, momentarily stunned. Lacey only paused for a moment, her hands still on his shirt, tying his tie.

I realized and walked in slowly, trying to appear calm. In this scenario, staying calm was key; losing my cool meant losing my edge. But at this moment, I couldn't even muster a fake smile.

Ethan cleared his throat and stood up from the desk. "Lacey is now the Marketing Director at Skyline International Corporation."

Lacey stepped back a few paces, elegantly admiring the tie on Ethan, then looked at me and added, "I got the job through a rigorous selection process."

She was dressed in a neat business suit, her hair in a high ponytail, exuding a sense of competence and confidence. It was said confident women were the most beautiful, and Lacey exemplified this perfectly. "Does the tie look good?" she asked, as if completely unaware of my displeasure.

I stared at her and said flatly, "Ms. Thomas, it's not appropriate to bribe Ethan as soon as you arrive. Don't corrupt the culture at Skyline International Corporation." "Bribe?" Lacey seemed to find the word amusing.

She glanced at Ethan, then back at me, and said bluntly, "No, it's not a bribe. It's admiration, it's pursuit. A man as outstanding as Ethan is irresistible, isn't he?"

I was completely taken aback by her audacity. "He's married," I said.

Lacey intertwined her fingers naturally, shrugged, and smiled faintly. "That's no secret."

She knew and still pursued Ethan. It meant she didn't see me as a worthy opponent at all.

"Lacey, you can go now," Ethan's voice broke in.

Lacey's expression softened noticeably when she looked at Ethan, but she didn't lose her pride. "Alright."

She walked out with her head held high, not sparing me another glance. But I kept my eyes on her back.
