The sharp pang in her chest radiated to her Limbs, compelling her to clutch at her chest.
She tried to rise, but her strength failed her.
Glancing up at Kyson, she found him unchangingly aloof.
This was the man she had devoted five years of love and pursuit to.
Suddenly, Dulcie felt the absurdity of her affection.
Gathering her waning strength, she propped herself up with the support of the desk and declared coldly, Kyson, youve done it.
Youve pushed me to start hating you.
Tears streaking her cheeks, she swung the door open with force and exited the oppressive office, the door banging shut with a resounding echo. Every head on the floor turned her way as the doors noise reverberated.
Masking her face with her hands, Dulcie hurried back to her desk.
Her light green cardigan slipped from her shoulders and dropped to the floor, unnoticed in her distressed escape.
Exhaustion had seeped into her bones, her emotions frayed from constantly concealing her turmoil.
But it was Kyson who became the final breaking point.
It was simply too much to bear.
Dulcie was seething with anger, so much that it caused her stomach to ache.
She clutched at her abdomen, wracked with pain.
Overwhelmed, she dropped her head onto the desk, burying her face in her arms to seek some respite, her eyes hidden as tears streamed down.
He wanted to offer some comfort, but the concern for more office gossip made him hesitate.
It was employees like him who bore the brunt of the ongoing conflict between the CEO and his wife.
It looked like they were in for a few days of even harder work.
The days ahead were bound to be challenging.
Kurt shook his head in resignation, turned, and walked away.
The pain in her stomach was so severe that Dulcie eventually fell asleep right there at the desk.
She didnt wake up until the clock struck eleven. Though the pain had subsided somewhat, it was replaced by a gnawing hunger.
She stood up, intent on heading to the cafeteria for something to eat.
Once there, she opted for some light fare and took a seat in a quiet corner.
Still, as employees walked by, they continued to whisper and point in her direction.
See? This is what happens when you try to seduce others.
She deserves it.
It looks like shes been thrown out.
People should really know their place.
