Love Addiction: Doting On My Love

Chapter 128

“Those weren’t my words, and I’m not sure how they got out. Perhaps Sydney pitled me for only

working here and said too much. I’ll make sure she stops,” Emily claimed.

Violet felt as if she had slipped into another universe, as Emily maintained her portrayal as a wronged

and submissive girl.

“You don’t need to act that way with me. I actually find your bolder side more genuine.”

Violet responded with a dismissive smirk, eager to move past the conversation.

Turning away. Violet encountered Oliver, the very person she least wished to see, who always seemed

to appear at the most inopportune times.

Now that she was no longer nervous, she could become more of her true self in his presence. Violet

simply nodded, and walked over to her desk.

Behind her, Emily’s whining voice echoed, “Oliver.”

Her tone was filled with a nauseating tone of self–pity, as if the office were her personal domain. Violet

then approached her immediate superior, Estelle Ruiz, a forthright woman.

“Take these and look them over,” Estella said. “You must come up with an idea. I’ll come over

later to get it.”

“Understood,” Violet replied, appreciating Estelle’s candor.

When she returned to her desk, she saw Oliver standing next to it and assumed he was about to

reprimand her.

Violet approached him. She realized it was easier to cope with him after she let go of her affection.

for Oliver.

“If you’re here to criticize me about Emily, I need proof, or I’ll claim defamation. If it’s about work,

please reach out to the appropriate personnel.”

Oliver was taken aback. Violet, he remembered, was humble and non–confrontational. He was

unfamiliar with her strong personality.

He was unaware that Violet’s previous meek and obedient demeanor was due to her love for him.

Now that her love had gone, so had her patience for him.

“I didn’t mean anything,” Oliver explained. “I just want you to support Emily. Her life has changed. and

I’m worried she won’t be able to cope.”

“In that case, why don’t you take her under your wing? No one could hurt her,” Violet retorted

sharply.

“Do we have to talk like this?” Oliver, now upset, questioned.

Violet found the situation ironic and countered. “You can be harsh to me, but I can’t be cold with

you. It’s my fault for giving you these ideas. It won’t happen again.”

“Vivi…

Violet’s detachment upset him, leaving a hole in his heart.

Yet the possibility for them to be together was a lost cause. Emily had been by his side while he

was in a coma, but Violet was nowhere to be seen.

Eventually, Oliver gathered himself and declared. “Fine, from now on, I’m only Emily’s fiancé.

Nothing more.” Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Nothing more, that’s what he reduced their relationship to. With those words, he disregarded all her

efforts and dedication. Violet felt a strong impulse to confront him and question the value of

her tireless efforts and care for him, both day and night.

However, she refrained because it was pointless to ask him these questions.

While Violet was distracted, Oliver quietly departed. It took her a moment to gather her thoughts.

She then unexpectedly noticed Estelle, who had apparently been there for a while. It was likely that her

manager had overheard their entire conversation.

This thought made Violet uneasy.

The possibility of her manager hearing such a personal exchange, combined with the ongoing

workplace rumors, raised concerns about the security of her position.

Finally, Estelle broke the silence and instructed, “Come with me.”

Violet followed Estelle without a word, feeling the weight of strange and gloating gazes

along the way.

“Are you and Emily sisters?” Estelle asked, getting straight to the point.

Violet confirmed with a nod, “Yes, we are. But I want to clarity, I didn’t destroy her voice. What you see

in our relationship is simply the tip of the iceberg, the real depth can only be understood over time.”

Estelle regarded her silently for a long moment, causing Violet’s heart to sink. People usually side

Then, Estelle clarified. “I wasn’t asking about her voice. I just wanted to get a clearer picture of the

situation, that’s all.”

Her smile was genuine, without any undertone of sarcasm.

“I trust my team members to be honest and not harm others for their own benefit. I believe in the

saying, time reveals a person’s true character. Don’t let me down.”

Estelle expressed her faith in Violet, extending her hand in support.

Her words moved Violet to tears. “You’re the first person who’s chosen to believe me.”

Violet’s voice was laden with emotion and newfound hope. She felt immensely thankful for Estelle’s

trust. With Estelle’s backing. Violet found that Emily’s presence didn’t cause more harm.

Her design work began to gain appreciation and favor from the company’s leadership, and she was

flourishing in her role. Finally, happiness started to display itself on her face again.
