The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning

Chapter 1055

Confused, Blake opened her work email. A notification about permanent positions caught her attention. Only three staff members were mentioned, one each from the Creative Design and Marketing Departments and Blake.

Blake blinked in disbelief. She thought, ‘My name is on the list!’

In the background, the secretary’s office buzzed with chatter.

“It’s okay, Susan. There’s always next month,” one voice soothed.

“Exactly! It’s those with connections who get ahead. Us regular folks just can’t compete,” another added

bitterly.

“I can’t believe how shameless some people can be.”

Blake tried to ignore them, but their words were too loud, too pointed.

The group was consoling Susan, painting.her as a victim.

Frustrated, Blake slammed her desk and stood, “Enough! If you have something to say about me, say it to

my face. I’m not putting up with this!”

Tears streaked Susan’s face as she turned to Blake, slapping her across the face.

Susan said angrily, “You don’t deserve this, Blake. You’re not even in my league, professionally or educationally. You’re just cozying up to Mrs. Jardin. What else did you do? Climbing into bed with Mr. Harrison for a promotion? How desperate can you get?”

Blake’s cheek stung from Susan’s slap, but she did not hesitate to slap back. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

Blake retorted, “I don’t need this job. If it means so much to you, go talk to Mr. Harrison. Stop acting like a

child.”

“Y-you hit me! How dare you! Even my mom never hits me! I’ll kill you, Blake!” Susan yelled. Her face was red from the slap. She lunged at Blake, her nails leaving red marks on Blake’s neck.

Blake, who had training in Taekwondo, did not hold back. She landed a punch that sent Susan reeling,”

You asked for it!”

Blake removed her work badge, not wanting to be held responsible for any damage.

Despite Susan’s relentless attacks, Blake stood her ground, matching each blow with her own.

Someone rushed out to seek help upstairs as the commotion grew..

Having just finished a meeting with Zach, Kevin was leaving the conference room.

Zach said, “Don’t be late again like today.”

Kevin nodded, “Yes, sir.”

Then, a secretary came running, panicking. Upon seeing Zach, she froze, “M-Mr. Jardin.”

Zach’s expression was cold. He demanded sternly, “What happened? Speak!”

Breathless and panicked, the secretary stammered, “It’s Blake and Susan, sir. They’re… they’re fighting.”

Rubbing his temples, Kevin excused himself, “Mr. Jardin, I’ll handle this.”

“Go,” Zach replied, pocketing his hands and returning to his office. He encountered Madelyn emerging from the lounge. He asked, “Did the noise wake you?”

Madelyn answered, “I just heard about Blake fighting. Is she always like this at the office?”
