Chapter207
Kimberly crossed her arms and smiled at me.
The face remained innocent and harmless, just the way it used to be, but the look in their eyes was completely different from when they were in front of Reynaldo.
Her compassionate gaze glanced at the suitcase beside me, and she sighed pretentiously, “Oh, you are indeed pitiful, to the extent of not even having a place to stay.”
Fortunately. Reynaldo was generous enough to give you a job as a handyman.
Well, after all, you were his ex–wife, so he still had to lend a helping hand to avoid gossip.”
I lightly pursed my lips and smiled at her, saying, “Actually, Ms. Palmer, you are quite generous. Just now, when you saw me being intimate with him, you didn’t get angry at all. You are much more generous than him.”
The last sentence, I said with a mocking tone.
Sure enough, a trace of cruelty flashed across Kimberly’s face in an instant.
The next second, she chuckled and said, “What’s the big deal? Reynaldo was just humiliating you.”
Actually, he had told me before that he wanted you to come here to work.
“What do you think he said when I told him I would arrange a position for you?”
oood
I smiled faintly and said. “What he said has nothing to do with me.”
“He said, ‘You are good for nothing. Giving you a job as a general helper is already overestimating you.“”
“Oh…” I asked expressionlessly. “Are you done talking? Because after you’re done. I still need to familiarize myself with the surroundings.”
What a joke. Reynaldo has belittled me like this in front of me before.
I heard Reynaldo’s derogatory remarks with my own ears, and I didn’t react much. And she still wants to use this trick to provoke me?
Kimberly was taken aback, as if she hadn’t expected my reaction to be so calm.
After a while, she sneered and said, “Ms. Duffy, stop pretending. If you’re sad, just show it. Your pretending not to care actually seems a bit suspicious.”
I flashed her a bright smile and said, “Ms. Palmer, you’re thinking too much. Three years ago, I didn’t like him, and three years later, I still didn’t care about him.”
Not everyone is like you, cherishing him as a treasure…
Boom!
Before my words had completely fallen, the door to the CEO’s office suddenly opened.
Reynaldo, exuding a gloomy aura, stood at the doorway.
He stared at me coldly, his gaze colder than the ice and snow in winter.
My heart tightened.
BP
Oh no, this man is going crazy again.
Reynaldo smiled and approached me, his gaze piercing like knives.
“Three years ago, you didn’t like me. Three years later, you don’t care about me. So, do you know what I think of you now?”
I took two steps back and shook my head.
He leaned in close to my car, filled with hatred, gritted his teeth and said, “Just a plaything for warming the bed.”
My heart suddenly skipped a beat, accompanied by an undeniable pang of pain.
I smiled stiffly at him and said, “Yes, is it?”
Reynaldo’s dark, intense eyes were fixed firmly on my face.
After a while, he sneered and stepped back, then turned around and walked outside.
That tall figure, carrying an aura of hostility that kept strangers at bay.
When Reynaldo was present, the spacious office fell silent, and everyone held their breath.
As soon as Reynaldo left, the scene instantly erupted.
“What happened? Mr. Humphrey seemed very angry just now.”
“Didn’t you see? It was that woman who angered Mr. Humphrey, really, she used to look down on people with contempt, but now that her own family has gone bankrupt, she shamelessly comes to pester our Mr. Humphrey like this.”
“Yeah, how did she have the audacity.”

“You don’t know yet, but she is the most shameless one. She came once before, dressed very provocatively, probably to seduce Mr. Humphrey. However, she was quickly kicked out by Mr. Humphrey.”
“Ah. there’s also this matter, tsk tsk, I didn’t expect it, she was actually so shameless.”
Mockery and insults filled the air.
I listened without expression, with no fluctuations in my heart.
But one heart still ached with unbearable bitterness because of Reynaldo’s words just now.
A toy that warmed the bed…
Indeed, these few simple words, spoken from his mouth, formed a sharp arrow that pierced through the heart.
Killing someone torments the conscience, but that’s all there is to it.
Kimberly smirked at me and said, “See, you were just a warm bed, so I don’t need to compete with you, nor do I need to get angry because of you and him.”
After all, that would lower my status.
