Chapter 1111

[ 677 words ]

Miriam desperately wanted to fly back to Portis City, but her flight status remained indefinitely delayed. The crushing anxiety of being stuck, combined with the freezing temperatures, finally took its toll. She collapsed and had to be rushed to the hospital in an ambulance.

Once admitted, she was hooked up to an IV and given a heavy dose of medication. Her mind spun wildly from the high fever.

Around noon, Tegan James finished her shift and was heading to the cafeteria when she spotted Miriam in the hallway.

“Miriam?”

Hearing her name, Miriam looked up. Her eyes instantly welled with tears.

“What are you doing here?” Tegan asked in surprise. “When I left Portis City, I heard you were getting married today.”

Even though Miriam worked for Uriah, Tegan had always liked her. Whenever there was a conflict between Tegan and Leslie Horner, Miriam always subtly sided with Tegan. Every time Uriah dragged his sister away, leaving Tegan behind, it was Miriam who stayed by her side. Through all the crushing loneliness Uriah had caused her, Miriam had been a quiet source of support.

Miriam sniffled loudly. “My wedding is ruined.”

Tegan stared at her in shock. “What?”

“I want to murder Uriah Horner, that absolute bastard!” Miriam cried, tears freely tracking down her flushed cheeks.

Even though Gideon was the one who cheated, the whole situation was a disaster. Just as Harper had pointed out, it was the most absurd wedding in history. The bride was stranded in a foreign country chasing after her boss’s girlfriend, while the groom was busy in bed with another woman. Miriam was probably the only person in the world who was this dedicated to her job.

Hearing Miriam call Uriah a bastard rendered Tegan speechless. She entirely agreed with the sentiment, but still…

“He is your boss,” Tegan pointed out gently. Was it really a good idea to scream that in public? Tegan had never seen such a rebellious assistant before.

Miriam sniffled again, looking utterly pathetic. “It doesn’t matter. I know you won’t tell him.”

Her eyes were puffy and her face was flushed from the cold and the constant stream of tears. Seeing her look so heartbroken made Tegan’s chest tighten with sympathy. Miriam had always been such a sharp, capable, and fierce woman while working for Uriah. Seeing her like a wounded bird was completely jarring. Tegan sat down next to her on the bench and stayed quiet, letting her vent.

Miriam desperately needed to get it all out. “My fiancé cheated on me last night!”

“I…” Tegan didn’t know what to say. That was absolutely devastating. She suddenly felt a deep sense of camaraderie with Miriam.

“It’s all that bastard Uriah’s fault!” Miriam sobbed.

“His fault?”

“He couldn’t win you back on his own, so he dragged me out here to help him I had to ditch Gideon right before the wedding, and Gideon obviously got mad.” fo FindNovel.net

Miriam cried harder as she spoke.

“But getting mad isn’t an excuse to cheat,” Tegan reasoned.

“I know! But if I hadn’t come to Yoreland, I could be ripping his face off right now! Instead, tm stuck here with all this rage and nowhere to put it!”

Tegan blinked. Ah. So that was the real issue.

“I am so incredibly angry,” Miriam cried. She was the kind of person who cried when

she was furious, and the madder she got, the harder she sobbed.

Tegan sighed softly and handed her a pack of tissues.

“And this stupid country,” Miriam cursed, wiping her eyes. “The blizzard won’t stop, and I literally slipped and fell in the snow this morning!”

Thinking about it only made her

alone! He actually ordered me to help him win you back!”

Miriam glared at the wall. The phone call she received at the airport had clearly been about Tegan and Leslie.

Tegan watched as Miriam tearfully dragged Uriah’s name through the mud.

“You can’t forgive him,” Miriam warned her firmly. “He’s abandoned you for Leslie so many times, and he never, ever trusts you.”

Even though Miriam’s situation was tragic, hearing her relentlessly badmouth Uriah brought a strange, undeniable sense of satisfaction to Tegan’s heart.
