I followed his gaze.
There were approximately half a wall’s height of abandoned bricks on the empty construction site.
Reynaldo suddenly walked up behind me, and a mischievous laughter fell from above my head: “You drag all those bricks to the designated location with a wheelbarrow, without leaving a single one. This is the punishment I’m giving you.”
He said, leaning closer to my ear, speaking in a voice that only the two of us could hear, “I want to see if Ms. Duffy, who used to be so arrogant, can handle this hardship.”
I turned my gaze to meet his eyes, which were filled with mockery and hatred.
“Scammer!”
He gritted his teeth and said these two words to me, then turned around and walked towards the cafeteria, his back exuding an indescribable chill.
After he left, I finally let go of the hand beside me.
The pure white palms were covered in nail prints.
As soon as Reynaldo left, the atmosphere in the cafeteria came alive again.
Manager Zhou yelled at me, “Esmeralda, what is wrong with you?“.

I always thought you were a woman who knew the general knowledge, but I never expected you to be so confused and shameless.
You failed to seduce him once, and yet you went on to seduce the boss multiple times, even skipping work!

Yeah, I’ve seen women who think they’re as high as the sky and want to become phoenixes perched on tree branches, but I’ve never seen a shameless woman like you. You’re absolutely disgusting.
Oh my God, how could our department have such a scum like you, it’s simply polluting our air.
Bennett looked up to the sky and let out a long cry, with an expression of endless sorrow.
I glanced at him indifferently and said, “Then you just don’t breathe.”
Bennett got angry and shouted at me, “What’s your attitude? Let me tell you, you made the big boss angry again today. If our salaries get deducted this month, I will make sure you pay for it!”
I ignored him and turned around to walk outside.

The laughter of those few colleagues towards Trevin came from behind.
“So, your girlfriend is the one they were talking about a few days ago.”
“Tsk tsk tsk, we dare not accept women who shamelessly seduce wealthy men everywhere.”
“Yeah, Trevin, just a moment ago we were envious of you, but now, we feel sorry for you. Who knows how many times you have been cuckolded.”
“Go away… Stop talking nonsense here. When did I ever say she was my

girlfriend?”

I sarcastically tugged at my lips and quickly walked out of the cafeteria.
The abandoned bricks were transported to the designated location by a special vehicle, which was one kilometer away on the west side.
If we use a car for transportation, it would take only two trips to finish the delivery.
But let me use that small cart to transport, I don’t know how many trips I will have to make.
I looked up at the pile of discarded bricks that was taller than me, and I felt a bit discouraged.
But as soon as I thought of Reynaldo’s mocking expression, I quickly shook my head.
No, I absolutely cannot back down.
The man always thought that I couldn’t endure hardships, this time, I must make him see it for himself.
Mr. Zhou, afraid that I might run away, quickly had someone bring the forklift over and specifically asked Bennett to supervise me on site.
Bennett crossed his arms and snorted at me, “The boss said not a single brick should be left, so hurry up and don’t embarrass our department again!”
I ignored him and just took the wheelbarrow and pushed it towards the pile of bricks.
Bennett got angry and came up to me, shouting, “I’m talking to you, look at your attitude now!”

I frowned at him and said, “So what attitude do you think I should have? You insulted me nonstop, and yet I’m supposed to greet you with a smile?”
Bennett was taken aback by me.
After a while, he sneered mockingly, “Shameless people still have the audacity, huh.”
I went on to do my own work, not wanting to say a word to these people.
I had to throw those waste bricks one by one into the cart, and then push the cart with the bricks for over a kilometer. After reaching the
destination, I had to exert force to overturn the cart and pour out those bricks.
When I was running in the beginning, it didn’t feel so difficult or tiring.
By the time I was on my eighth run, I started to feel a bit overwhelmed.
And when picking up bricks, the fingertips of ten fingers were also scraped by the sharp edges of the discarded bricks, which was very painful.
