After the Eight Years of Love I Gave Up
Chapter 25

Book 3- Chapter 4

I looked up, and Knox Hawthorne's face suddenly fell into my sight.

I grabbed his shirt collar and finally cried out uncontrollably.

I never thought I would bump into Knox at such a vulnerable moment.

Knox is Ryker's senior from school, and he helped Ryker a lot when he was starting from scratch.

But he has another identity, which is my boss.

My first encounter with Knox was at my wedding with Ryker. He stared at me for a long time and only said one sentence.

"Ryker, you lucky bastard, marrying such a beautiful wife."

That one sentence made me blush.

Later, when I was looking for a job locally, the HR from The Hawthorne Group actively reached out to me, saying I would be a good fit for their company and invited me for an interview. The Hawthorne Group, being a local business leader, was a dream employer for many. I just went to take a look, but unexpectedly got hired.

So from the moment I came to this city, I joined The Hawthorne Group and have been there for five years.

Knox is a good boss, not only taking care of me in many ways but also helping Ryker a lot.

I'm not a blockhead, I could feel a burning pursuit in Knox's gaze.

So I once openly discussed it with Ryker and even proposed to resign, but Ryker immediately rejected the idea.

"What are you talking about? Resign? Do you know how much help Senior has given our company? He hasn't really done anything to you, why make a big deal out of nothing?" With him putting it that way, I naturally couldn't say anything more.

Moreover, although Knox took good care of me, he always maintained proper boundaries and never did anything inappropriate.

And I never expected that I would be seen by him at a time like this.

Knox helped me to the car, took out a bottle of mineral water from the car for me to rinse my mouth, and his large hand patted my back repeatedly to help me calm down. "That's right, breathe."

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

"Have another sip of water."

After comforting me like this for nearly half an hour, my emotions finally calmed down.

The phone placed aside rang, it was Ryker.

My tears flowed out again, Knox looked down at me, his voice slightly hoarse.

"Had a fight with Ryker? Did he bully you?"

I nodded while crying, all the grievances at this moment suddenly couldn't be held back anymore.

I originally thought I had someone to confide in, but that person turned out to be the traitor who betrayed me. I have no relatives or friends here, who else can I confide in? "Ryker... he and Sage, they..."

I was crying so hard that I couldn't speak a complete sentence, but Knox still understood.

He sighed and reached out to wipe my tears.

"They've already done it, what's the use of you crying now? What are your plans for the future?"

"If you want a divorce, I can help you find a lawyer to make him leave with nothing. If you don't want a divorce... I can help you break his legs."

His words made me look up at him involuntarily.

Knox looked down at me, his eyes filled with the same persistence and focus as always.

A strange sense of resentment and impulse suddenly surged in my heart. I took a deep breath, grabbed the collar of his black shirt, and suddenly kissed him!
