Violet was too afraid to face Luclus head–on. She gave up and endured the tense situation.
They didn’t say anything to each other the entire way back.
When George asked where the plane should land, Lucius replied, “Balaka City.”
Violet’s eyes lit up with joy as she gazed at him.
Lucius issued a warning when Violet disembarked, “Remember, you only have one week.
Either come back on your own, or I’ll make you!”
Violet moaned as she watched the plane take off, feeling helpless.
She wouldn’t even consider the possibility that Lucius had affection for her. She had an instinct that his
haste for her return was simply because he enjoyed her cooking, and wanted her to be his
personal chef.
Moreover, she was afraid of becoming too involved and becoming trapped in a situation she

She turned her attention to getting a job.
At Wickham’s residence, Emily was filled with frustration.
She hurried to her room and started tossing her things onto the bed. She then lost control of her
emotions, and collapsed.
Belle entered the room, concern etched on her face. “What’s the matter?
Sitting up abruptly, Emily’s eyes were ablaze with fury.
“Mom, Oliver repaired that cup and keeps it in a prominent place, admiring it daily. He’s event planning
to showcase it at our engagement party. It’s driving me nuts!” she exclaimed.
Belle offered a straightforward solution. “If It bothers you that much, just break it again. If your can’t, I’ll
do it. What can Oliver do if I break it? Do you think he’ll stay mad with me?”
Despite this, Emily remained anxious about the circumstances.
“Mom, I’m afraid. Oliver’s attachment to that cup signifies his deep affection for those times. If he learns

Belle’s face hardened, and she advised firmly. “Remember, it was you who did it! From this
moment on, believe that it was you!”
Emily continued, “I can try to believe that, but what about Violet? She’s in love with Oliver. Won’t
she reveal the truth? If she does, there’s no way Oliver and I can stay together.”
Belle’s face e grew darker. “You have a point. Violet is a problem.”
“What should we do?” Emily looked at her mother, hope shining in her eyes.
“Don’t worry, I’ll make sure she’s too ashamed to mention it.” Belle promised, scheming to silence
Violet.

She dismissed Lucius’s threats as mere jokes, and focused on her goal.
With her experience, Violet received an interview call the next day.
The interview went smoothly, and the HR manager informed her she could start the following day.
However, her excitement was cut short when she was halted at the company’s reception.
“Regrettably, your name isn’t on our list of new employees.” the receptionist said.
“There must be a mistake. I was called by the HR manager just yesterday.”
She even showed the receptionist the HR manager’s contact details.
Violet was then guided to the HR manager’s office.
“I’m sorry, Ms. Violet. While we had plans to employ you, a more suitable candidate appeared at
the last moment. Thankfully, no contract was signed, so you’re free to pursue other opportunities.”
the HR manager explained.
Leaving the company. Violet felt a deep sense of disappointment. She knew it wasn’t just a
courteous refusal, but a clear statement that they no longer wanted her.
She soon noticed a troubling trend. Each time she was offered a job, they changed their minds
the next day. This wasn’t a one–time occurrence, but happened repeatedly.
Violet sensed something was amiss.
Confronting another HR manager about to reject her, she demanded, “Can you explain who’s
behind this?”

The HR manager replied. “I apologize, but this is an internal decision of our company, unrelated to
external influences.”
“How is this possible?” Violet didn’t believe it, and threatened, “This has happened multiple times. I
need the truth, or I’ll cause a scene and damage your company’s image.”
The HR manager’s expression changed, and he ultimately said, “The situation is out of our hands, Ms.
Violet. We’re not in a position to challenge certain influences. Please try to
understand our predicament. The individual manipulating these events is no ordinary person.”
Violet left the HR manager’s office, engulfed in a mix of fury and helplessness.
Outside, she sat on the stairs, deep in thought about who could be orchestrating these to make her life
difficult.
Oliver immediately sprung to her mind. She had mistakenly broken a cup he valued, believing it
belonged to Emily. Considering his affection for Emily, it seemed possible for
him to react strongly.
Determined, Violet resolved to clarify the situation with Oliver. At least, she needed to make him
understand that she was the one who purchased that broken cup, not Emily’s.
