Scars Of A Broken Bond

Shirley was in a dilemma. While it was true that she had become pregnant that night, she was unable to reveal the truth and expose Tyrone, as doing so would lead to trouble for her.

Since Shirley couldn’t confide in Trevor with the real story, she remained entangled with Trevor. That was why the situation was Like this.

With a sigh, Shirley powered up her computer and spent a few minutes at her desk. Glancing at the breakfast that Trevor had brought her, she picked it up and went to the tea room.

As she was about to leave after placing the food on the table, Trevor entered.

Shirley glanced at him and said, “You’re just in time. Take the breakfast back. I’ve already eaten. Don’t bring food for me anymore!”

“Shirley, how about we get married?” Trevor blurted out.

Shirley’s eyes widened in shock as she asked, “What are you talking about?”

“It makes sense. We should get married so the child has both a father and a mother.”

Meanwhile, Sergio stood in the corridor a short distance away, observing the two in the tea room. He overheard fragments of their conversation, causing him to frown, and his expression turned slightly cold.

It wasn’t the first time he had witnessed them talking together in the tea room. He had believed that they were still involved in an intimate relationship and had chosen not to expose them. However, he hadn’t anticipated that they would be getting married.

Recalling Shirley’s statements during the interview, Sergio departed with a sneer in his eyes. He decided that it was time to address the situation.

Exasperated, Shirley said, “I’ve already told you the child isn’t yours. Can you please stop bothering me?”

Without waiting for a reply, Shirley strode out of the tea room and added, “It’s time to get back to work. I’m leaving now.”

Watching her departing figure, Trevor let out a helpless sigh.

The company held a mandatory departmental meeting every Friday, and all staff members from the department were to attend.

The three group leaders each presented a summary report, followed by a speech from Sergio.

After providing feedback on the work, Sergio emphasized the importance of adhering to the company’s rules and regulations.

Sergio said meaningfully, “I understand you are young and passionate, and developing feelings for someone is natural. I’ve observed a couple in an intimate relationship in the tea room on multiple occasions. I need to stress again that office relationships are not allowed. I hope those involved can address this issue promptly.

Otherwise, don’t hold me responsible for any consequences.”

As he spoke, Sergio shot a meaningful glance in Shirley’s direction.

Caught in a gossip session, Shirley suddenly locked eyes with Sergio and felt a wave of nervousness. Damn it! Was Sergio referring to her and Trevor? When did they show intimacy with each other at the company?

The intern sitting next to Shirley was curious. After the meeting, she leaned in and whispered to Shirley, “I wonder who the people are dating in our department. Have you heard who they might be?”

“I don’t know,” Shirley replied, shaking her head.

A light snort interrupted their conversation.

As their eyes met, Shirley smiled awkwardly and greeted him, “Hello, Mr. Blakely.”
