Love from My Dominant Boss

Chapter 8

“Say, what should I do now, Natalie?” This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

I stared out the window blankly with a lost look in my eyes.

For all these years, Justin had been my everything, and my life revolved around him. But now, I’m left with nothing. I felt as though I had lost all motivation, without the slightest inkling what I could do that would still be of significance.

“He was just a scumbag, Anna. It’s actually a good thing that you discovered his true colors now. It’d be far too late if you only found out after marrying him.”

Sitting down beside me, Natalie gave me a comforting hug. All the while, I could see the anguish in her eyes.

“But it hurts so badly…”

Having said that, I hugged Natalie tightly. My tears had long since dried up in the past few days, but the pain within me simply wouldn’t go away.

“Anna, you’ll definitely forget that scumbag one day. On top of that, you’ll absolutely find someone a thousand times better than him! At that time, he’ll regret losing you,” Natalie asserted as she stared right into my eyes.

At least I still have a good friend keeping me company right now. If it weren’t for her comforting and encouraging me, I really don’t know whether I would’ve made it this far.

“Get dressed and apply some makeup. We’ll go shopping today and have some retail therapy. I want you to forget that scumbag, Justin Xenakis, from tomorrow onward!”

Natalie dragged me out of bed, forcing me to get dressed and doll myself up.

Then, we went to a nearby mall and shopped at the women’s section.

Having previously heard that Justin’s company owned the particular mall, I instinctively wanted to back out. Alas, Natalie had a death grip on me.

Knowing that she wanted to help me get over him, I didn’t leave despite the aversion within me.

We proceeded to explore the women’s section. In no time, Natalie’s hands were laden with her spoils of the day. On the other hand, I didn’t buy anything since I truly wasn’t in the mood to shop.

All of a sudden, I caught sight of a couple nearby—it was Justin and Mabel. A stab of pain assailed me, and I hurriedly whirled around, tugging Natalie in a bid to leave.

“Why are you pulling at me, Anna? I’m not done here.”

Natalie didn’t see the two people nearby, so she was a tad disgruntled at my odd behavior.

“Let’s go someplace else, Natalie. I don’t want to stay here anymore.”

I turned my back to the two people heading my way, not wanting them to notice me.

Frowning, Natalie regarded me in puzzlement, perhaps confounded by my sudden change in attitude.

Just when she was about to say something, the two people spotted me.

“Anna, what a coincidence to bump into you here! I never expected you to recover from your breakup so quickly. It’s just been a few days, but you’re already in the mood to shop.”

Mabel’s mocking voice pierced the air.

Having been struck where it hurt most, I was undeniably disheartened. Nonetheless, I would never show it before them because they weren’t worth it!

Upon seeing Justin and Mabel, Natalie finally understood why I was trying to drag her away.

Immediately, she stepped before me and shielded me behind her.

“Oh, I was just wondering who it was, but it turned out to be a homewrecker who had been ruining someone’s relationship for a few years. So, how does it feel to be a homewrecker?”
