Chapter 3

After venting my anger, I felt refreshed. I even slept more comfortably that night.

In the morning, I was in such a good mood that I put on makeup before going to work.

I had barely sat down at my desk when Leslie called me to his office.

"Why didn't you answer your phone last night?"

I lazily sat on the sofa. "I don't like listening to dogs bark."

"Flora, do you have to make things so tense over such a small matter?"

Such a small matter?!

This man is actually still my boyfriend.

My mistake.

I slapped Leslie across the face, then grabbed his hair with both hands. Leslie bent over in pain, and I took the opportunity to kick him twice.

"A small matter? I work my ass off every day not for money, am I here to pray? You give my bonus to another woman, and you have the nerve to tell me it's a small matter."

"Leslie, you seem to have forgotten one thing: there are no small matters when it comes to your girlfriend."

With that, I let go of Leslie and gave him one last kick in the stomach.

Leslie roared in pain. "Flora, we're done."

"If we're done, I'm the one dumping you. You and Erin have been hooking up for a while, haven't you? You two do look more compatible than us. Cupid's trash sorting seems quite on point."

Leslie dusted off his shirt. "I've had enough of you for a long time. You have no femininity, all you know is work all day."

"You're not qualified to criticize me."

I rolled up my sleeves. Today, if I don't beat Leslie into submission, my name isn't Flora!

"Leslie, I think you need a beating!"

We started fighting in the office. Although as a woman I'm naturally at a disadvantage in terms of strength, I have long nails, I can scratch and pull hair, and I'm not afraid to bite. I'm quite fierce.

Due to the commotion, colleagues came to check on us.

Erin was the first to rush in. Seeing the nail marks and blood on Leslie's face and neck.

She spread her arms like an eagle protecting its chicks, standing in front of Leslie. "Flora, if you're angry, take it out on me. Don't hurt the innocent. Leslie is just following the rules."

You asked for it. Come at you it is.

Just as I was about to act again, a female colleague I'm close with pulled me away.

"Flora, you've beaten him and cursed him out. If you keep going, you'll be the one who suffers. The manager is clearly paving the way for his girlfriend."

I looked at her in confusion. Has my secret relationship with Leslie been exposed?

But is this how you pave the way for your girlfriend?

"Erin doesn't know how to do anything. If she hadn't latched onto Leslie, she would have been fired long ago."

"When did you find out they were together?"

Seeing my confusion, the female colleague looked shocked. "They've been subtly flaunting their relationship on social media for almost a month. Don't tell me you didn't know?"

Very good.

I, the official girlfriend, only found out yesterday.

Now I just want to transform into a monkey in the park and slap both of them.
