The next day, when I arrived at the company, a man had already moved into my private office.

In the corner of the company were several boxes containing my notebooks and personal belongings.

I pushed open the office door expressionlessly. Peter Smith, my cousin, looked at me with a smile and said:

"Brother, it must be hard to have everything taken away from you."

I didn't want to pay attention to him, but he was playing with a photo frame in his hand, which contained a photo of Sophia and me.

He leaned back in his chair lazily, rubbing the photo absentmindedly.

"What should I say? Congratulations on finally getting kicked out? Or should I congratulate your girlfriend for finding another boyfriend?"

I couldn't stand it any longer and punched him in the face. He screamed, and his face instantly became red and swollen. He was covering his face and looked very painful.

But this still did not diminish his arrogance. On the contrary, he thought that I was so angry that I could only vent my anger in this way.

"Ethan Smith! Just wait. You have nothing now. I wonder what else you can use to fight me! We'll see."

"Haven't you ever heard that those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes?"

I sneered and left the office. I could hear some employees whispering outside the door.

They should have all been fired for being so gossipy.

Thinking this, I strode towards Sophia's office.

Then he kicked the door open.

Sophia was startled by the loud noise, and stood up angrily and looked at me, " What do you want? Making such a fuss, do you think you are still the same Ethan Smith ?"

I hesitated before speaking.

"Why did you fire me? Give me a reason?"

"We have broken up. Do you understand? After the breakup, there is no place for you in this company."

A hint of resentment flashed across her pretty face.

"I have done nothing wrong. Why are you firing me?"

"Of course it's to make room for my new boyfriend. You know, I'm with Peter Smith now, right?

"Who is he?"

The anger in my eyes was almost tangible.

Peter Smith has been uneducated since he was a child, and he only relied on his mouth to coax the whole family to love him. I am about the same age as him, and I have always been the object of comparison among the elders.

Although I have excellent grades, Peter Smith is sweet and can coax people.

Although I never make people worry, Peter Smith is sweet and can coax people.

Although I started my own business right after graduation and have already achieved financial freedom, Peter Smith is sweet-talking and can coax people.

No matter what I did, he could easily get everyone's love, including my biological parents, just by relying on his eloquence.

"Peter Smith is younger than you and more considerate than you! He never asks me to talk about work late at night, and he is not as unromantic as you. He will care about me in every possible way! Will you?"

My girlfriend's series of questions made me freeze in my tracks, just like when I was a kid and my parents frowned and scolded me for not being half as good as Peter Smith . I admit that I was very busy when I started my business, always talking about work, and I treated Sophia a little coldly , but I never forgot any of our anniversaries, and I spent almost all of my time with her.

But in her eyes, I was just a workaholic who didn't care about her at all, not even as good as a finger of Peter Smith.

"The gift he gave you came from my work; the time he spent with you was earned by my crazy work."

Sophia frowned at me, "So what? What else do you want to say? I won't change my mind."

"Peter Smith is a thousand times and ten thousand times better than you!"

I sneered in my heart. I want to see how your Peter Smith can help you with this core project without me. I signed the resignation contract and walked away in Peter Smith's proud eyes.

Before leaving, I could still hear what Peter Smith and Sophia were saying.

"Baby, why did you make him angry and leave? I can't tell my family about this."

"It's okay, just tell me the truth, and I'll see who dares to make things difficult for you."

You bastards, damn it!
