Billionaire Ex-wife: I Can't Live Without You

It must have been her doing.

Audrey had been quiet lately, probably biding her time until this perfect moment to see Dulcie stumble.

This setback threatened not just her internship but could potentially lead to her dismissal.

Although Dulcie suspected Audrey, she lacked proof.

She met Audreys gaze in silence.

Audrey smiled wryly and feigned innocence.noveldrama

Good luck, Dulcie.

Im sure you wont disappoint me. Audrey strutted away, her high heels clicking rhythmically.

Gradually, Dulcie unclenched her fists.

She glanced at the clock and it was 8 a.m.

The company meeting was scheduled for 10 a.m, Redoing the entire proposal by then was impossible.

What could she do now? Kourtney had given her such a critical assignment, and she had let it slip through her fingers.

How could Kourtney ever trust her again? No! She couldnt give up just yet! Dulcie took a deep breath and tried to piece together as much of her final proposal from memory as she could.

By 9:30, while her colleagues in logistics were gearing up for the meeting, Dulcie was still typing away desperately.

Perspiration dotted her forehead, yet there was no time to wipe it off.

Where is your proposal? Why havent you sent it to me yet? Kourtneys inquiry made Dulcies hands tremble.

She stood and felt like she was caught guilty.

Im sorry, Ms.

Gibson.

I made a mistake.

Someone tampered with my computer last night, and all my files disappeared.

Ive tried every way to retrieve them, but its all gone. At that moment, Dulcie knew her only option was to own up to her predicament.

Pointing fingers at others would do no good.

Kourtney paused for a brief moment, and then placed a reassuring hand on Dulcies shoulder.

Go to the meeting.

Her calm instruction caught Dulcie off guard.

She had prepared herself for a reprimand, but not for such a composed reaction.

As Dulcie hesitated, Kourtney looked back and said, Are you coming, or do you want to be late and face further trouble? Prompted by Kourtneys words, Dulcie hurried after her.

The Shaw Group organized a company-wide meeting in the last month.
