My sister–in–law called softly from outside the door for me to come eat.
I quickly composed myself, put my phone in my pocket, and opened the door with a bright and relaxed smile.
Outside, my brother and sister–in–law were looking at me with concern.
My sister–in–law pulled me to the dining table, her face smiling with a hint of caution: “Little sister, try these dishes. I heard about them from your brother, I’m not sure if they suit your taste.”
I looked at the table, it was full of my favorite dishes.
Suddenly my eyes felt hot.

Suddenly, my eyes felt hot.
My sister–in–law served me food, and it tasted delicious. I sincerely gave her a thumbs up, not sparing my praise.
“Sister–in–law, you’ve done an amazing job! It tastes exactly like the hometown food I remember, I love it!”
After a string of compliments, my sister–in–law rubbed her hands shyly:
“I’m glad you like it, I’m glad…”
This meal was very warm and cozy. My gentle sister–in–law, my steady brother, my lively nephew, made me truly feel at home.
The care of my family filled the emptiness in my heart, and I felt warm all over.
I wished these days could last a little longer, just a little longer.
But I’m not one to stay idle, and after a few days, I went out to work.
This time I found a more relaxed job as an assistant in a pet store.
Every day, I was just responsible for buying and selling pet food and toys, and handling some online sales. It was extremely leisurely.
With more free time, I also had more time to chat.
Not everyone in the company shipped Mark and Olivia as a couple. Privately, many people actually looked down on Olivia’s behavior.
So unconsciously, I had many former colleagues voluntarily reporting to me about the subsequent situation.
For example, Mark really went to check the surveillance footage, and then saw Olivia sending anonymous software herself.
“I’ve never seen such a stupid person. She wanted to frame you, but ended up exposing herself!”
“Mr. Mark’s face turned blue at that time, and he fired her on the spot.”
I looked at the messages sent by my colleagues, feeling no ripples in my heart.
Actually, anyone with eyes could see that Olivia had indeed set her sights on Mark. Many of the things she did were to sow discord between
Mark and me.
As for this incident of blackening herself, it was nothing more than wanting to completely destroy my image in Mark’s heart and smoothly get divorced.
She was never innocent, only Mark was willing to believe so.
After some casual chat, my colleague continued to gossip: “By the way, the project that Mr. Mark forcibly transferred from you to Olivia went wrong. Originally, you had followed it to the end, only needing confirmation to sign the contract. Unexpectedly, she took it upon herself to change one word.”
“As a result, the data didn’t match up, and it almost caused a big problem. The client was so angry that they directly canceled this cooperation, and stated that they would never cooperate with Mr. Mark again.”
I listened quietly, unable to help the smile tugging at my lips.
That company was a client I had worked hard to secure. They were willing to sign a contract with Mark because of my face.
Now that I’m gone, no one can handle them. Canceling the cooperation was just a matter of time.
But what does that have to do with me?
I wore my earphones, replying to orders on the platform while listening to my colleagues chattering about gossip.
I handled these things quickly and well, and the pet store’s business improved even more. Now the boss has almost let me take full charge.

I suddenly became busy again.
