company.
It was bustling.
Alex invited business partners and reporters
to announce several large orders.
In my last life, after securing these orders, he
pocketed the deposits, blaming me for

I threw the shredded papers at him. “Alex, did
you forget who owns this company?”
The onlookers stared, while the reporters
were ecstatic, their cameras focused on us.
