She Got A Better Man

"Almost," Elvira slurred. Her mind went fuzzy as she felt a tingling sensation through her body. "Elvira, you're so beautiful," Zach praised as he bit her on the lips, unable to resist her beauty.

As the temperature between them soared, a series of knocks echoed through the room, abruptly disrupting and pulling them from their shared moment of intimacy.

Elvira startled, swiftly pulling away from Zach. Her gaze nervously met his, catching a glimpse of displeasure flickered in his eyes. The voice from outside announced, "Mr. Gilbert, an important client has arrived, and we need your presence."

Alright, I'll be there soon," Zach responded. His tender gaze met Elvira's, offering comfort as he carefully adjusted her messy clothes.

"Don't worry about me. Put on your shirt properly first," Elvira insisted, her hands deftly helping Zach to button up. Swiftly, she grabbed some tissues, delicately wiping away the lipstick marks she noticed on his neck.

Zach tucked his shirt back into his trousers, fastening his belt with precision. With a gentle sweep of his fingers, he tidied Elvira's hair, planting a tender kiss on her forehead. "Wait for me here," he whispered. "Alright. Now, get to work," Elvira said.

Zach's gaze lingered on Elvira, his touch tracing a final caress across her face before reluctantly stepping away.

Sherry stood by the door, greeting Zach as he emerged from the office. Catching sight of Elvira's flushed cheeks, Sherry's intuition pieced together what had just happened inside. A heavy weight settled in her chest as if a massive rock had landed there, burdening her with the weight of unspoken emotions.

Zach shot a cold glance at Sherry before striding away. The intensity of his gaze made Sherry feel as though a knife was being held to her throat. Frozen in place, her legs weakened, and it took her a moment to snap out of it.

Sherry regretted losing her cool, revealing the true intentions she had kept hidden all these years. She knew Zach's temperament well and knew she wouldn't be able to stay by his side any longer.Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

After Zach left, Elvira rose from her seat and began to explore his office. The space was modestly sized, adorned with only the essentials, like a desk, two cabinets, a sofa, and a coffee table, presenting a simple and unadorned aesthetic.

Elvira made her way to Zach's desk and settled into the chair, her gaze wandering over the items scattered across the table with mild curiosity. However, everything she saw was just the usual office supplies.

Elvira decided to sit back at the sofa area. When she stood up from the chair, she noticed a drawer that wasn't fully closed. In the drawer, she saw a photo frame that held a photo of a girl.

Stunned, she thought, 'Why is there a photo of a girl in his drawer? Did he just put it away in a hurry because I cameto look for him suddenly?'

With her eyebrows furrowed, Elvira opened the drawer fully, revealing two photo frames with photos of the same girl.

The girl was beautiful and looked like a college student with an innocent and pleasant appearance. Elvira's heartsank as she

kas looked at the photos. 'For Zach to have her photo on his desk, she must be someone important,' she thought.

Elvira knew Zach had a sister because Tracy had shown her a photo once, but this wasn't her.

Based on her understanding of Zach's character, he doesn't look like someone who would have pictures of his cousins on his desk, either. 'Who the hell is this girl?' Elvira couldn't stop wondering. Sat, 23

When Zach returned to look for Elvira, the office was empty. 'I thought she promised to wait for me here. Why did she leave?' he thought, frowning.

Zach tried calling Elvira on her mobile phone, but she only answered on his second try.

"Yes?" Elvira said curtly, with a hint of anger in her tone. She had initially considered ignoring him and only asking him about the photo when they were home at night.

"What's wrong?" Though Zach was usually relatively slow to sense the mood of people around him, he could immediately tell that Elvira was angry.

"You have the nerve to ask me what's wrong? Tell me now! Whose photo did you hide in your drawer?" Elvira questioned. "Did you put it away because I was going to your office? Because you didn't want me to see it?" Elvira needed to know the answer as she refused to be tormented over such matters.

Zach was confused about what Elvira was talking about. While on the phone, he had already left the office but immediately returned after hearing what Elvira said. When he entered the office, two photo frames, each with a photo of a girl in them, were on the desk. Upon seeing the photos, his face turned grim, and he understood why Elvira was mad at him.

'Why are you not answering my question? If you don't know how to, then..." Elvira boomed.

"Elvira, I don't know the girl in the photo," Zach said truthfully. This office was a temporary space that he had asked Sherry to arrange for him. It was his first time coming in, so he had no idea what decorations or things were there.

"You have photos of girls you don't know on your desk? Do you hear what you are saying?" Elvira exploded after hearing his reply and hung up right away.

Elvira hated unfaithful men. In her opinion, it would still be despicable of him, even if the photos were of an ex-girlfriend.

Zach exuded a horrifying aura around him when Elvira hung up on him. Standing in Elvira's shoes, he knew how ridiculous he sounded. Because to her, that was his office. So that girl in those photos on the desk would definitely be related to him no matter what. In the magnificent CEO's office, Zach sat in his chair and stared coldly at Sherry as if surveying her. Sherry was soterrified that she could feel her legs shaking under her.

"Mr. Gilbert. Do you need anything?" Sherry said, breaking out in a cold sweat.

"Ms. Johnson, you've always been meticulous. How did you manage to make such a big mistake today?" Zach queried, his gaze piercingly cold. Though his tone remained casual, it carried an unmistakable frostiness.

"Mr. Gilbert, what... what did I do wrong? I did everything you told me to do." Sherry got a little defensive.

"You deliberately left the photo out for my wife to stumble upon, didn't you?" Zach leaned back in his armchair, tapping his finger on the table, which was an unconscious gesture when angry.

"Mr. Gilbert, it's not what you think," Sherry argued. "You asked me to look for a regular office to prepare for your wife's arrival, and I did as you requested."

"That girl in the photo is Mr. Derrick Lewis's daughter. I had already put the photo frames in the drawer, so I don't know how your wife still saw it." Sherry continued arguing. She decided to take a risk in trying to insinuate that Elvira was up to no good when she was alone in the office.

"How dare you try to slander my wife!" Zach's voice thundered through the room, his words crackling with fury. "Sherry

Johnson, you're done here! Pack your things and vanish from my sight! And mark my words, your reputation in this industry will be nothing but ashes after today!" Zach's temper was a rarity in the office, but Sherry had crossed the line. Not content with scheming to cause strife between him and Elvira, she had dared to cast doubt on Elvira's character, attempting to sow discord between them.

Upon hearing she was fired, Sherry felt like she'd been doused in ice water. She went limp, collapsing to the ground as her mind spun with thoughts. 'No! I'm a graduate of a prestigious university. I'm meant to have a bright future ahead of me! If I can't secure another job, I'm doomed!" she panicked.

"Mr. Gilbert, you can't do this to me!" Sherry cried out, her voice breaking. "I swear, I didn't do anything wrong! Please, you have to believe me!" Tears streamed down her cheeks as she crawled towards Zach, desperately trying to defend herself.
