Chapter 13 (2)
Uncle Benny invited me to walk around, reducing me to the bigwigs from other companies. Meanwhile, Albert never strayed far from me. He seemed well known among the business leaders always friendly and sociable.
I felt someone’s eyes on me from the coher of the room. I jolted when I saw her. Lorraine quickly looked away when our eyes met.
I smiled. Finally, Lorraine, you’re in my demain. You won’t be able to push me around anymore. You need this job, don’t you? Get ready to face the truth.”
As the night went on quests from other gompanies started to leave, but our employees were still enjoying the live music. I was ready to head home.
I scanned the ballroom for Albert, but he was nowhere in sight. Meanwhile, Bradley was still busy overseeing the event staff.
I tried calling Albert, but he didn’t pick up. After waiting a while, I decided to head to the lobby to find Joshua. I had asked him to help with the event operations earlier that day.
“Hey, let me give you a ride home.” I jumped when Derrick suddenly appeared in front of me.
“Who do you think you are?!” I snapped, not looking at him and continuing to the lobby.
Derrick’s face went pale. He must not have expected me to react like that.
“Hey, I’m sorry. I was wrong. We can reconcile, right? For Gillian’s sake.” He followed me, pleading..
“What? Now he remembers he has a child?”
I exhaled sharply, trying to control my rising anger.
“Please, just wait. I need to talk to you,” Derrick grabbed my hand, trying to stop
- me.
“Let gol Let go of me!” I struggled to pull my hand from his grip.
“Just a minute, I need to talk,” Derrick kept insisting

I sighed heavily, reluctant to share my personal problems. But I needed
someone to talk to.
“Even though we were married for eight years, Derrick and his family always treated me poorly. They constantly belittled me. Then Derrick had an affair with a coworker. I couldn’t take it anymore and asked for a divorce.”
Tears streamed down my face.
No one would be happy about a divorce, especially when there was a child involyed.
“Derrick’s an idiot. I’m sure he’s regretting it now,” Albert said angrily.
We arrived at my apartment. I declined when Albert offered to walk me to my unit. After I got out at the lobby, Albert drove off. I headed to my unit, exhausted by the day’s events.
