Chapter 81: Strike Two
Johnny didn’t move.He simply stood there beneath her, Emily Blake perched above him, her heel still hovering where his obedience was supposed to be.He looked at her the way one looks at a stranger wearing a familiar face—detached, dissecting, unreadable.As if his eyes were stripping her down past the makeup, past the posture, past the performance… and finding nothing worth respecting.Her legs—crossed, elevated, pointed at his face—became the trigger.The past slammed into him like a wave he’d thought couldn’t reach him anymore.Internship days.Her voice. Her heels. Her cruelty.He remembered everything.He remembered how she entered the company after him — clueless, unskilled, lazy — and within three weeks was somehow supervising him. Not because of effort. Not because of talent. Because the higher-ups liked how she looked in a pencil skirt.He remembered doing her tasks every night.He remembered her forwarding her entire workload to him with a casual, “Babe, be a dear and fini

Chapter 79: Kiss It
"What the hell do you mean by you are in charge?!" A ripple went through Emily.She covered it with a smirk.“You think you can talk back to me?” she scoffed. “Do you know who I am?”Johnny didn’t answer.But Emily did—she answered herself, loudly, proudly, for the whole office to hear.“I am now the assistant head of the real estate department,” she announced, tapping her badge. “Seven departments in the entire company, and I’m second-in-command of one. And you—” she jabbed a finger into his chest, “are nothing. A fired intern who couldn’t even bring coffee correctly.”Her voice sharpened, turning venomous.“You know how I got here? I earned it.”Johnny raised a brow.Lie.Everyone knew.Even Emily knew everyone knew.She slept her way up the hierarchy like it was a ladder made of bedsheets.And she flaunted it with zero shame.“And now,” she continued, leaning in so close he could feel her breath, “you’re standing here like you belong. You’re not even supposed to be in the building
Chapter 78: Emily Blake
Emily Blake didn’t just appear.She arrived—like a scent, like a temperature shift, like trouble walking on expensive heels.Perfect hair.Perfect posture.Perfect poison in human form.Johnny had barely taken ten steps into the real-estate department floor when her voice sliced through the air, sharp and smug and dripping with that familiar, poisonous sweetness.“Well, well… look who crawled back in.”He stopped.Around him, heads turned. Phones lowered. Chairs creaked. The whole department swelled with a hungry kind of silence—half curiosity, half anticipation. Office drama was oxygen in this place, and Emily Blake was their favorite wildfire.Johnny turned slowly.And there she was.Emily leaned against one of the glass desks, one hip cocked out in a pose that was half model, half predator. Her blouse was tight, deliberately unbuttoned one button too far. Her pencil skirt hugged her hips like it was stitched directly to her skin. Her lipstick was a glossy, sinful red. Her perfum
CHAPTER 77: Paying Dues
The moment Johnny stepped through the glass doors of Silver Crest Holdings, a quiet wave of déjà vu washed over him. Nothing had changed. Nothing. The lobby still had that cold, expensive smell—like polished marble and paper fresh from the printer. The same muted silver lamps. The same reception desk where interns hovered like anxious ghosts. Phones ringing. Heels clicking. People rushing past each other with the sharp urgency of those who believed their entire future depended on a signature. Everyone was busy. Everyone looked important. Everyone acted like they mattered more than whoever stood next to them. Johnny stood still in the middle of it all, watching. And for a split second, he saw a younger version of himself—same building, same walls, except his clothes were cheaper, his shoulders lower, and his eyes… tired. Always tired. Back then, when he was an intern, he didn’t really see the world around him clearly. He didn’t know the game he had walked into. He thought it wa
CHAPTER 76: Gerald
“So… what does it say?” Johnny asked.Gerald didn’t answer immediately.His eyes were locked on the card, his pupils trembling as though the words on the psychic paper were rearranging themselves right in front of him. His throat tightened. He blinked once. Twice. But the letters refused to change. Every time his eyes refocused, they spelled the same horrifying truth.“It says…” Gerald’s voice cracked. “It says… owner of Silver Crest Holdings.”He didn’t sound convinced of the words, almost as if he expected the sentence to dissolve the moment he spoke it aloud. His lips parted once more, and he read it again silently, as if daring reality to correct him. But it didn’t.The card didn’t lie.Or rather—Johnny didn’t let it.Johnny lifted one corner of his mouth. The smirk wasn’t loud or arrogant; it was quiet, calculated, confirming what he already suspected. The psychic paper didn’t just reflect what a person wanted to see—it could also reflect his intentions. His projection. His wi
