My Bossy CEO Husband

Chapter 243: Kicked Out 

Eris tightly gripped the steering wheel with both her hands as she drove recklessly back to her apartment.She looked straight ahead with eyes burning with rage.She reached the underground garage and entered the elevator.

A silent hum came to life behind the two metal doors.

The elevator doors parted open.

Eris took a peek along the corridor and a huge weight came off her shoulders when she saw that there was no one there.

Finally, she could breath and relax since there were no paparazzi waiting for her there.

However, the relief on her face quickly dissipated and turned to disappointment.

The implication of what had just happened began to dawn on her.

She was no longer as popular as she was before.

For a celebrity like her, this was a devastating blow.

Eris typed the password on her door, kicked her high heels halfway across the room, walked barefoot towards the sofa, and threw herself on it.

Her eyes were vacant for a second.

It didn’t take long for those same eyes to burst into tears.

At first, her cries were mostly silent, broken by an occasional sniffle or two.

Then, they started to get louder and louder until they transformed into anguished wails that echoed across the room.

In a span of one moming, she felt both the highest and lowest point of her life.

Alone in the living room, there was nothing to distract her from her thoughts.

The memory of her parents being taken away by the police flashed in her head, and she couldn't help but think of what future she might have left.

The bleakness of it all made her cry even harder.

Suddenly, Eris turned towards the door, the sound of the doorbell interrupting her crying spells.She was in no condition to receive any guests.

Her hair looked disheveled and her swollen eyes made it painfully obvious that she was undergoing some sort of breakdown.

It didn't help that her white dress looked wrinkled and dirty and her headache made her movements look very lethargic.

If she were being cast to be a female ghost, she would've been perfect for the part.She feebly pushed herself up from the sofa with the help of the armrest.She dragged her feet across the floor and staggered towards the porch where a tablet was located.

This tablet was connected to the surveillance camera outside the door, allowing her to see any incoming visitor.

Upon looking at the screen, a puzzled expression crept up her face.

‘Kate? Why is she here? Does the company decide not to banish me from the showbiz industry?’ Eris ran to the door as fast as her weak legs would allow her and opened it in one swing.

"Kate"

"Eris, pack up your things," Kate interrupted.

There was a coldness in her voice.

"What?"

The sliver of hope in Eris’ eyes was quickly extinguished. Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

"Your belongings.Pack up everything you need.The company needs to take this apartment back." Eris stiffened.

Only then did she see the men in uniform standing behind Kate.

Upon closer look at their uniforms, she realized that they were from the moving company.

They seemed to be waiting for Kate's instructions.Eris’ insides started to knot as a phantom claw began to take hold of her heart.

"Kate, aren't you being too ruthless with me?"

"I'm just following orders," Kate said matter-of-factly, devoid of any empathy.

"Eris, this apartment belongs to the company, and you're only living here because they let you.As you know, this is the most expensive apartment building in the city.And since you've already been blacklisted from the industry, you're no longer authorized to stay here." Eris' hands started to tremble.

"Hurry up.We still have to clean here so that the company can use this to accommodate another star," Kate urged her.

A burning intensity raged in Eris’ eyes that would've incinerated Kate ten times over if actual flames came out of her eyes.She clenched her fists and steeled her face, refusing Kate the satisfaction of seeing her cry.She slowly turned around and headed to her room.

Once she was a few paces away, Kate followed her cautiously.She stood by the threshold and watched as Eris angrily stuffed her suitcase with all her designer clothes and bags.

"Be gentle with that,"

Kate reminded her as she leaned against the door frame.

"Since you're no longer eligible to work in showbiz, your income will definitely see a sharp drop.Whatever career you latch onto next, it's uncertain whether you'll be able to afford any of the designer brands in the future.So if I were you, I'd cherish what I have now."

Eris crumpled the hem of the coat she was holding and threw it into the suitcase.

"Shut up!" she screamed at Kate, seething with anger.

Kate shrugged.She was just telling the truth.

Eris lived in this three-bedroom apartment for two years and owned a lot of things.She had transformed the other two bedrooms into a dressing room.She had left a small study so that Ana could live there.

Her dressing room was filled to the brim with designer clothes, bags, and shoes.

She even had a small safe where she kept her jewelry collection, some of which were given to her by Brian.She had lots of stuff to pack.

It took the entire afternoon for her to finish.

Eris wouldn't let this injustice that had befallen her go without any form of retribution.She took everything that belonged to her, and smashed those she couldn't bring as a display of her anger.

Kate's jaw dropped as she watched this petty demonstration.

Even the moving men couldn't believe what they just witnessed.

The details of one's behavior were a reflection of one's character.

It was in this moment that Eris' narrow-minded side was completely exposed.

Nevertheless, Kate didn't stop her.

Once Eris was finished smashing all the furniture, she asked the workers behind her to move all the items downstairs.

As she watched the workers carry the cartons downstairs, Kate smiled and said, "I was worried about you and your future.But now, it seems that I may have been worried for nothing.You could sell all your luxury items and, as long as you are frugal, it should be enough to support you for the rest of your life."

She flashed an obviously fake smile that was produced to humiliate rather than assure.

Eris snorted and rolled her eyes.She threw the key to Kate, pulled her suitcase, and strode away.

Kate surveyed the aftermath of Eris’ tantrum in this apartment and shook her head.She locked the door and left.

Downstairs, the workers were busy moving the cartons into the truck and left once they were done.

Kate was nowhere to be found.

When Eris went downstairs, it was already dark.

Only the light from the street lamps greeted her.

She held her arms tightly as a cold autumn wind blew by.

"Where are we going?" the driver asked.

Eris didn't know what to say.

‘Where can I go indeed?’ Although she had made a lot of money in the past few years, she had also spent a lot and thus, had almost no savings.

Thus, she couldn't afford to buy any house in Ywood by herself.

Apart from the apartment arranged by her company, she had nowhere else to live.

"Miss..."

"Shut up!"

Eris shouted at the driver in anger.

The driver was taken aback by her outburst.

‘Oh my God! I heard that she was a star! How come she has such poor manners?’

After a long day of misfortune where she was forced to watch her entire life crumble before her, Eris had to vent all the anger that had accumulated.

Unfortunately, it was the driver who happened to bear the brunt of her rage.She kept quiet for a long time.

The driver looked at the time and grew uneasy.

Finally, the driver rolled the window down and urged her impatiently, "Miss, please give me an address to go to.It's already time for me to go home! I want to spend time with my wife and children after work."

Eris turned around and glared at him.

"Stop pestering me! I need to think about it!"

The driver could no longer take this unwarranted verbal abuse from her.

"Hey! Stop being a bitch, okay? If you keep shouting like that, I'll throw all your belongings out.I'll even cancel your order!"

‘He dares to shout at me like that?” Eris clutched her thighs in anger.

But she was afraid that the driver would do as he said.So she gritted her teeth and kept her anger under control.She took a deep breath to calm her mind and thought for a while.

Her parents had a house there, but it was in an old neighborhood with a poor security system.She couldn't move there because of all her scandals.Her only other option was to go to Brian's.

Eris opened the door of the truck and got in the passenger seat.

"Let's go!"

"Where?"

"Violet Community!"
