Before he could finish speaking, the office door was pushed open.
Paulina walked in with a dark face, glaring at him through gritted teeth!
Alan waited for a moment. Seeing that Frank still hadnât spoken, he said, âFrank, Iâll hang up now. If you need anything, call me anytime. Iâll send the relevant documents to your email right away.â
Smack-
As soon as Alan hung up the phone, a powerful slap landed on his face!
Alan gasped, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth with his thumb, and forced a smile. âAs expected of a black belt. Even slaps are so forceful.â
âAlan, youâre so shameless!â
Paulinaâs eyes, hidden behind blackârimmed glasses, burned with anger as she glared at him. âHow dare you tell Frank?â
âBecause it was my people who found out,â said Alan. Because Frank gave me the life I have now. Paulina, whether itâs you, me, or anyone else, none of us has the right to betray Frank.â
Alan had never had any principles in his work. Over the years, he had committed many sins, but the one thing he always upheld was loyalty. No matter how he felt, if loyalty came at the cost of betrayal, then he was no better than a beast.
Paulina stared at him. âSo, you never thought about hiding it for me?â
âNo,â replied Alan.
Paulina, trembling with rage, gritted her teeth. âBut you still slept with me yesterday.â
Yesterday, in the office, he had demanded her several times! Paulina felt Alan was a dog without a leash.
She thought that agreeing to her would mean he would help her keep it a secret. But as soon as she entered Alanâs office, she sensed something was wrong!
He just walked away after getting what he wanted!
More importantly, how could she face SZ Technology in the future?
Those who betrayed Frank never had a good ending.
Alan grabbed her hand, which was about to strike him again, and held it in his hand, playing with it. Paulina, I didnât tell Frank you deliberately withheld the information. But this is the only time. If you try to get yourself killed again, no one will be able to save you!â
sat on the toilet, facing the unexpected arrival of my period, feeling overwhelmed.
After a moment of hesitation, I called out, âFrank, Frank?â
âWhatâs wrong?â
Outside the door, the man seemed to snap out of his daze and quickly walked to the bathroom door,

knocking on it. Iâm here. Whatâs wrong?â
âCould you⦠could you go upstairs and get meâ¦â
Even though I had been married once, it was still a personal matter, and it was hard to say âSanitary padsâ.
âI have some at home.â
âHuh?â I was taken aback.
There was no response from outside the door. After a while, there was another knock. âOpen the door.â
âOkay.â
I carefully stood by the door and opened a crack. His distinctly bony hand reached in, holding a large bag of sanitary pads.
Night pads, overnight pads, daytime pads, tamponsâ¦
Everything was there.
I changed into a pad and went out to see him lost in thought. I couldnât help but ask, âDid something happen?
âNo.â He shook his head slightly, with a hint of redness at the corners of his eyes. He pulled me into his arms. âI was just thinking if you had a hard time those two years.â
âIt was okay.â I tried to sound casual. âDave and the others were very good to me. Jane often flew over to see me, and Dilan was with me every day. Even the elderly lady from the neighborâs house took great care
of me.
He forced a faint smile. âReally?â
âOf course.â After answering, I glared at him. âHow come you have so many sanitary pads at home?â
