Chapter 12
“Be mature. Don’t stick to trivial things.”
I looked away. “Kingsley, let’s talk.”
I wanted to tell Kingsley that I was resigning. But Mira called.
“Kingsley, I accidentally lost the ring you bought. I’m so sorry. I’m so stupid. Kingsley, can you come and help me look for it?”
Kingsley coaxed Mira and left without looking back.
When Kingsley turned around, the bottom of his shirt swept the wedding ring I put on the table.
The wedding ring fell to the floor and rolled to the corner. But Kingsley didn’t notice it.
Five years ago, Kingsley and I picked the wedding ring together. It was simple and small, not delicate at all.
At that time, Kingsley was still at the initial stage of his career. He smiled. and promised me, “When I’m rich, I will buy you a bigger and better one. I’ll love you forever!”
I believed him.
But when Kingsley met Mira, he forgot about his promises.
I withdrew my gaze. I bent down, picked up the wedding ring, and threw it into the garbage bin.
Chapter 12
I went to the company to go through my resignation process.
My inferior was shocked. “Emelia, the company’s listing is all your credits. You tackled the challenge and developed the medicine for senile dementia. Are you sure to leave at this time?”
They all knew my contributions and wanted to stop me from resigning.
“Does Mr. Larsen know that you are leaving?”
“I will tell him. But I don’t think he cares.”
With that, I took off my lab uniform and went back to the office to write my resignation letter.
A pretentious blame sounded. “Kingsley! You didn’t wake me up! That’s why I’m late!”
Mira was later. She entered the office with a thermal bottle in her hand.
Mira handed the thermal bottle to me, but I guessed she was just trying to show off the ring on her finger.
Mira complained to me, “Emelia, please tell Kingsley to behave! He forced me to drink hot ginger tea. I’m about to puke!”
Obviously, Mira was provoking me.
I didn’t say anything.
Kingsley followed Mira with a new luxurious bag in his hand. He didn’t
even look at me.
Kingsley grabbed Mira and blamed her gently, “I told you to rest at home. Don’t work too hard. Otherwise, you will feel pain again.

“Good girl, drink it.”
Kingsley fed Mira the ginger tea. Then, he wiped the water at the corner of her mouth.
Other colleagues looked at me with pity in their eyes. But Kingsley didn’t
Care.
My period always made me super painful.
At first, Kingsley remembered the date of my period and took care of me.
But starting from one day, when my period tortured me and I wanted to ask for sick leave, Kingsley would be impatient. “It’s the critical moment. of our development. It’s not a big deal. Just bear with it.”
At this time. Kingsley suddenly walked behind me and looked at my laptop screen. feeling shocked. “What are you writing…..”
On the screen, I was about to send out my resignation letter.
“Oops!”
I was about to say something. Mira suddenly stumbled. The ginger tea in her bottle was poured onto my laptop.
My laptop made a few crackling sounds. Then, it completely blacked out and emitted black smoke.
This laptop recorded the core data of the medicine for senile dementia. Now, we lost the data.
The whole team had worked hard for a whole year. Now, all the effort was ruined in an instant. Everyone darkened their face.
Mira looked sorry and pounced into Kingsley’s arms, looking at me with
fear
“I don’t know why Emelia pushed me.
“Kingsley, is she still mad at me?
“Do I have to pay for ruining this laptop?”
Kingsley saw Mira’s scalded hand and became angry.
“Emelia, why did you start to be so evil?
“Mira went to the same university with us! I’m so disappointed in you. Apologize to Mira now!”
I looked at Kingsley and said. “I didn’t push her.
“And the most important thing now is to find back the data. Otherwise…”
“Otherwise, do the whole thing again!” Kingsley’s face was cold. Without hesitation, he grabbed the laptop and smashed it on the ground.
The laptop was destroyed. The sharp pieces bounced up and cut the skin on my leg. My wounds oozed blood right away.
Kingsley didn’t notice it and kept blaming me, “You tried to frame Mira. You deserve to lose all your data! I give you three days to retrieve the data!
“If what you have done affects the company negatively, I will never get the marriage certificate with you!”
In these five years, whenever I wanted to get the marriage certificate, Kingsley would have additional conditions.
He wanted to get his career steady first. He wanted me to take care of his
mother first. He wanted to develop the new medicine first. He wanted to list his company first.
I had waited for five years. But this time, I didn’t want to get the marriage. certificate with him anymore.
