I Married a Beautiful Boss After the Breakup

“David, I-I want to talk to you about raising my salary." Eric Johnson said this when he stood nervously in the general manager's office.David Westman, playing games on his computer, looked up.He leaned back into his big chair, looking at Eric with a smirk. "Oh, Eric, why did you suddenly bring this up?"Eric bit his lips and clenched his fists. "David, I've been with the company for almost eight years, starting as an intern right after I graduated. My peers have become part of the management team while I'm still stuck in a technical position. You know how it's like for my family, right? My mother just had surgery and requires chemotherapy. Every week—"David interjected, "Eric, let's not bring in personal issues when discussing work here."Eric lowered his head upon hearing David's words. His cheeks turned red.He had been working diligently in this tech company for eight years. Within the industry, he was known for his excellent technical skills and knowledge.However, with

Eric had dreamed of buying a house in the Rosewood Estate after graduating. However, it would be impossible for him to buy a house in his lifetime while working for David. Needless to say, he did not expect his initial dream to be realized in such a way.Before leaving, Sylvia had informed Eric that he must spend the night at the Rosewood Estate unless he had something urgent to attend to.Eric felt hopeless but quickly came to terms upon thinking about the large sum of money he would receive as a divorce settlement three years later.After recollecting his thoughts, Eric hailed a taxi and returned to the hospital. He let out a huge sigh of relief after depositing the remaining $13,500 into the hospital account. The heavy burden in his heart was finally lifted.Mrs. Johnson and Elly were still waiting anxiously outside the operating theater. The two of them approached Eric instantly as he came through the doors. Before they could exchange words, Eric's phone rang.Looking at the i

Eric was stunned. He did not expect Sylvia to show up, let alone give Jasmine a slap across the cheek, which was utterly gratifying.Jasmine was dumbfounded.Her head buzzed, and her cheek burned intensely from the blow. Sylvia might appear delicate, but she was surprisingly strong."H-How dare you hit me!?" Jasmine trembled uncontrollably after regaining her senses.She raised her hand to return the favor, but Eric blocked her.Jasmine nearly lost her footing as Eric gently pushed her away.Sylvia remained silent as she glanced at Eric's back."Eric Johnson!" Jasmine burst into rage. "How dare you lay your hands on me!?"She never expected Eric to make a move against her for another woman."Why not?" Eric stared indifferently at Jasmine. "Enough with your shenanigans. Get lost, or I'll expose your dirty secret to the public. I believe they'd be thrilled to hear such an exciting story."Sylvia's sudden appearance gave Eric time to recollect himself. He could still turn the ta

Brook was caught up in his thoughts when the wolf head avatar responded.Sylvester: [What did you see, Brook? Stop keeping us hanging! Everyone is concerned about Sylvia's marriage so spill the beans!]Brook: [You're absolutely not going to believe this!]Brook laughed upon hearing Sylvester's anxious voice and recounted what he had witnessed earlier.Connor sent a Shocked emoticon.A moment later, the wolf head avatar responded.Sylvester: [Brook, continue observing them. Why didn't Sylvia introduce her husband to the family if they have come this far?]Meanwhile, Eric had laid Sylvia on the bed under her guidance.She quickly covered herself with a blanket and said, "If I remember it correctly, there is a black night gown in the wardrobe further to the left in the dressing room. Do not open the rest of the wardrobes. Also, bring me the makeup bag and the book on the sofa.""Can I open my eyes now?" asked Eric.Sylvia rolled her eyes and replied, "Are you capable of looking

"His wife?" Eric looked puzzled."Yes." Brook said. "David's wife henpecks him because she owns half of the company. His wife will be livid if she finds out David is messing around with his employee's girlfriend. All you need is evidence of his debauchery.""Thanks for the tip-off," said Eric. "Why are you helping me, though?" he asked.Brook smiled and said, "Why? I'm just simply a kind-hearted person.""Thank you! I need to attend to an urgent matter now. I owe you a meal."Eric hailed a taxi and left.Brook slapped his forehead as he said inwardly, 'Why am I helping him if he's cheating on Sylvia? But Sylvia is very protective of her people. If she finds out her husband is in trouble and I didn't help him out, she will turn on me as well! Sigh.'Brook was in a dilemma. He was thinking if he should inform Sylvester that Eric had cheated on Sylvia. He quickly dismissed the thought after realizing the dreaded aftermath it would ensue. The situation would not be in favor of him i
