Shattered Vows Shining Comeback

Chapter 8 Her ID

Gwen was reluctant to carry out the task. She had already resigned from Hall Group, so she wasn’t obligated to do such.

a task.

Besides, Sienna might sound like she was asking Gwen to do something for her, but in reality, she had phrased it like an order. Gwen didn’t like it at all

But Gwen soon remembered that her ID was still with Jake. This would be her last time carrying out such a minuscule task. She could use the opportunity to ask him for her ID after bringing him the coffee. So, Gwen took a deep breath and decided to accept the task.

“Alright. Got it.”

“Thanks.” After that, Sienna left the washroom.

Now that she was pregnant, she was starting to resemble a loving mother, but her confident and radiant persona as a rich heiress formed a huge contrast with Gwen.

The truth was that Gwen’s elite background gave her a superior edge over sienna, who was already wealthy in her own right. To think that three years later, Gwen would turn out to become a loser in life.

The huge contrast left her rooted to the spot. She was stuck in her trance for quite some time before she managed to suppress her emotions. After exiting the washroom, she made a beeline to the pantry to brew Jake’s coffee.

Once Gwen was done, she brought the coffee to the CEO’s office and locked on the door.

“Come in.” Sienna’s soft voice rang out instead of Jake’s cold tone.

The hot coffee almost splashed out of the cup, courtesy of Gwen’s trembling hand. She hesitated for a while before mustering enough courage to open the door.

As soon as the door was opened, Gwen saw Sienna sitting on Jake’s lap with her arms wrapped around his neck.

Although Gwen was already mentally prepared for what was about to come, she still found it difficult to calm down when she witnessed the couple’s intimate behavior. Her heart was in so much pain that it almost gave out on the spot.

Sienna seemed rather embarrassed to see someone else walking in on her and Jake’s intimate moment.

“Just leave the coffee here. You can leave now.”

Sienna’s voice snapped Gwen out of her trance. She slowly raised her head and made eye contact with Jake’s unblinking gaze from across the distance. His gaze was so dark and cold that she had a feeling it could swallow her senses up.

At that moment, Gwen’s sixth sense told her that Jake must have done this on purpose. It wasn’t as if he didn’t know the reason why she was here. Yet, he still chose to let her witness this particular scene just to humiliate her.

“Ms. Lawson?” Sienna looked at Gwen when she noticed that the latter wasn’t moving at all.

Gwen just hummed in response and nodded. Then, she placed the coffee cup on the table before turning around, albeit wretchedly, just to leave. However, she stopped in her tracks after taking two steps.

As she listened to the suggestive sounds coming from behind her, all she could imagine were images of Jake and Sienna kissing passionately.

Gwen’s knees almost buckled under her weight, but she forced herself to be strong and stand tall.

Obviously, her prolonged presence was starting to grind on Sienna’s gears. Sienna thought Gwen was interfering with her private moment with Jake.

“Is there anything else, Ms. Lawson?

“1…” Gwen finally mustered enough courage to face Jake and Sienna once again. “I left an extremely important item with Mr. Hall I hope he can return that item to me.”

The 2,000–square–foot office fell silent instantly

The pile of documents on Jake’s desk was tall, but it wasn’t enough to block out the sight in front of Gwen.

Jake, who was wearing a white buttoned shirt, had his collar wide open. A red hickey could be seen dotting his neck. It brought out the flushed redness in his eyes, most likely triggered by lust.

“Oh? What is it?”

Now that Gwen had said her piece, Sienna’s curiosity was instantly piqued. She tightened her grip on Jake’s arm in

return.

“Jake, why did you detain your secretary’s belongings?”

“It’s nothing important.” Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

Jake grabbed Sienna by the arm before pulling her into a hug. From Gwen’s point of view, she could see them hugging each other tightly.

She pressed her lips into a fine line quietly, feeling her heart break at the sight. It lasted until Jake turned to look at her coldly, as though she was just a stranger to him.

“You may leave now.”

That sentence was sharp and intimidating. It seemed that he didn’t plan on returning her ID to her so easily.

“It’s my ID.” Gwen spoke up straightforwardly, seeing as Sienna was present.

She hoped that she could leave Bellmont immediately after dealing with this incident. She no longer wanted to spend a minute longer in this accursed city.

“Truth be told, I’ve already resigned from Hall Group, but Mr. Hall detained my ID instead. His actions make me think that he has ulterior motives in mind.

“Mr. Hall, there are a lot of talented and capable employees working for you. You don’t have to use such underhanded methods just to deal with a mere secretary like me.”
