Love Slave to My Devil CEO Boss 18+

Chapter 35

My head felt light, and it felt like I was ready to faint right there at that moment. I told myself over and

over again that Kyle broke up with me for his own personal reason. That was the lie that I had been

telling myself so that I could get through the pain of our breakup. My heart was still far from healed and

I couldn’t say for certain that I was completely over him. Afterall, it had only been a few days since we

broke up, how was I supposed to erase all memories of the two years that we shared together?

Even thought, Kyle never got around to telling me the real reason why he decided to end our

relationship, I never expected that it would be because he was going to get married to someone else. I

mean, people don’t break up with their girlfriend to get another girlfriend and then marry her within a

week’s time, right?

That only left one possibility and it was the one that I dreaded the most: All this time that we were

together, Kyle had been cheating on me with another woman. Judging from the situation, I wasn’t sure

if he was cheating on me with her or cheating on her with me. Does it even matter?

Both alternatives were just as bad as the other. If the rumors that these wonderful counter-productive

ladies were discussing were true, then he had decided to choose her over me. Hence, he dumped me

so that he could marry her with a peace of mind. Who cares what Karina would think and feel anyways,

right?

Thankfully, the elevator arrived so that I could snap out of my ominous thoughts. After I quickly stepped

in, the elevator door slid closed. I closed my eyes and let out a huge sigh. I was shocked beyond words

and my chest still felt tight. Without knowing the exact reason why, I started praying for the rumors to

be false.

Deep down, I probably still wanted to believe that Kyle truly loved me and that our relationship was

real. I wanted to believe that what we had was real even if it didn’t last. Since the CEO’s office was

located at the top floor of the building, the elevator made many stops on my way up. Once again, the

elevator’s door opened at a floor. And someone needed to step out so I took a step away from the door

and then I stepped deeper into the elevator so that other people could come in.

I wasn’t paying attention and didn’t realize that this floor was the planning department floor. It was

already too late by the time that I realized it. The person standing in front of the elevator, along with his

colleagues was none other than Kyle. If he was shocked to see me, he didn’t show it at all. He acted so

natural that it made me feel like I didn’t exist.

Of course, we were not supposed to know each other at work or be close enough to exchange words of

greeting. Although, I knew that I couldn’t stop the piercing pain that shot through my chest. Without a

word of greeting to me, he stepped inside the elevator with his colleagues.

“Thanks for inviting us to your wedding this weekend,” one of his colleagues spoke up in a cheerful

voice.

“You’re like one of my best friends, so of course you’re invited,” Kyle replied casually as his friend

patted his shoulder in congratulation.

“I’m so glad that you and Emily are finally getting hitched. You’ve been dating for many years now since

university, right?” His other colleague asked.

“That’s right. I think it’s finally time that we make things formal,” Kyle replied with a bright smile.

Since university?!

But I met and started dating Kyle when we started working. This is the worst; he was already with her

when he started hitting on me. An unbearable pain shot through my chest, and it started to feel harder

to breathe as I realized that I was never his only one right from the start. He always had someone else

that he cared about more than me, and in the end, he had chosen that person over me. He was two-

timing me right from the start and I was completely fooled by his perfect-guy act.

Their conversation went on as if I didn’t exist in that small elevator. Each of their passing word made

me feel small and insignificant as I tried to hide in the corner of that elevator. I wondered when they

would just get out.

“Let us treat you to dinner to celebrate your upcoming wedding,” his friends suggested.

“Yeah, man, we’re so happy for you,” his other friend chimed in.

Finally, the elevator came to a stop at their designated floor and the three men got out. It was as if

everything moved in slow motion as I watched Kyle and his friends exit the elevator. Through the entire

elevator ride, not once did Kyle glance my way. Then the elevator door slowly closed and I was the only

one left in the elevator.

I was too shocked that I didn’t know how to feel anymore at that point. The elevator arrived at the

topmost floor of the building, where the CEO’s office was located, and I stepped out. The sound of the

elevator door closing behind me filled my ears but my legs refused to move. I don’t know how long I

stood there with that random box of my random stuff in my arms right in front of the elevator.

In that moment, I just felt so empty inside like I didn’t know why I existed. I just felt so lost. I didn’t know

why I came here in the first place, and I had no idea what I'd wanted to do next. At that moment, the

man that I least wanted to see appeared right in front of me.

“How long you planning to stand there?” he asked coldly. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
