She walked toward me with such poise, every step drawing attention to her presence.
The moment I saw her face, my pupils dilated, and I could barely breathe.
It was her… the one who had haunted my nightmares throughout my school years.
After all this time, disaster was about to strike once again.
“Dubel, come over here. Take a seat,” Alpha Dulcea said, waving a hand as he patted the chair next to him.
“Oh, by the way, let me introduce you. This is Beth, a new employee who just passed

her probation and is now working as my assistant,” he casually announced.
That was how Alpha Dulcea introduced me.
Throughout the meal, I struggled to swallow, my back drenched in cold sweat.
I couldn’t tell if it was just my imagination, but it felt like someone’s gaze was fixed on me–a sharp, unblinking stare that hadn’t left me since I sat down.
Eventually, I made an excuse, telling Alpha Dulcea that I wasn’t feeling well and needed to leave.
That night, I received a message from Alpha Dulcea: “I know what you’ve done to Dubel. Come to my office tomorrow and submit your resignation…”

It was just a single line, but the words. burned into my eyes, stinging with a painful clarity.
The next morning, I went to the company to hand in my resignation.
As I was about to leave, the HR assistant stopped me. “This resignation needs Alpha Dulcea’s signature. He’s waiting for you in his office.”
“Isn’t that the standard procedure for everyone?” I muttered, then thought for a moment before deciding it was better to go.
In the office, Alpha Dulcea sat quietly at his desk, unchanged from before, though his eyes now held a trace of disdain.
I placed my resignation letter in front of him.

“Anything else you want to say?” Alpha Dulcea asked, his tone tinged with
annoyance.
I froze. “No…”
⚫ I had never expected him to believe me in the
first place. What was there left to say?
I was just waiting for him to say goodbye. Maybe that was the only way I could finally escape Dubel’s grasp for good.
Through the glass window, Dubel smiled as she walked toward me, her grin unsettling.
She mocked my plain appearance, ridiculing my lack of a “sexy” figure. Each jibe was like a punchline in a comedy act, drawing laughter from those around us.
As she passed by, she deliberately spilled

her freshly brewed coffee on me, then widened her eyes and exaggerated her expression, saying, “Oh, I’m so sorry, Beth! I didn’t mean to! Please don’t be mad!”
With that, she smugly took a seat across ⚫ from me, crossing her legs and humming a
cheerful tune.
My shirt was soaked, brown liquid dripping from the hem.
My shoulders trembled, and my teeth clenched in fury.
I couldn’t take it anymore. Enough was enough.
I raised my hand high and aimed a slap at Dubel’s face.
Reality hit faster than I expected.

Alpha Dulcea grabbed my wrist, forcefully pulling me away.
He stood in front of Dubel, like some kind of protector, his posture commanding.
“Now you know what it feels like to be bullied, huh? Isn’t spilling coffee on you just like being drenched in chili oil? What’s the matter? Can’t handle it?” he spat.
The people outside couldn’t see what was happening, but they had gathered around the door, whispering, straining to catch every word.
Everyone could tell something was going down, but no one dared intervene.
“Dulcea, I don’t want to see her. I’m so scared. Can you make her leave?” Dubel

whined, tugging at Alpha Dulcea’s arm.
“Don’t be afraid. I’m here. She won’t be able to bully you again” Alpha Dulcea cooed, gently patting her head.
My eyelids fluttered. This side of Alpha Dulcea… it was nothing like I remembered.
Alpha Dulcea turned to me, his face cold and handsome, his gaze indifferent as he said, “You can go now.”
“I..”
