It’s as if the person just disappeared out of thin air.
Even the house she lived in was empty.
Adela no longer had any support. She was penniless, living in a park. ,
After another night in the park, Adela decided that she needed to end this and walked to lissa’s company. She needed the contract between she and lissa to be terminated. Perhaps that way she could making a living sohow instead of being an outcast.
The security guard at the entrance of the building stopped her and said, "If you want food, go to the side. Charity donations start at 5pm."
"I want to see lissa. Do you not know who I am?" Adela demanded as she took off the mask and looked at the security guard coldly.
"You will wait until I get confirmation on if she will see you," the security guard responded, unmoved by her outburst.
Everyone in the company knew now that Hayley was really Adela. His impression of her was the sa as everyone else: a shaless, disgusting woman.

lissa and Jill were chatting casually in lissa’s office. lissa decided that she was going to make clothes for her baby instead of buying. It was a tradition her mother started that she wanted to continue.
"Look. You know Murray will be worried that you will be stressed if you do that. He’ll be all over you to make sure you stay calm and relaxed. It is kind of gross how you two fawn over each other," Jill said. She disliked public displays of affection. It didn’t matter if they were married or not. She just didn’t want to see it.
"When you find a man that you love, you won’t be saying that," lissa responded.
"I think not. n only think with their little heads. I don’t have ti to deal with that," Jill countered.
There was a knock on the door and lissa’s assistant entered the room. She whispered in her ear and lissa’s cheerfully expression faltered slightly.
"Bring her in," lissa said. The assistant nodded and left.
"Who is coming? Are you going to seriously do work right now? I haven’t had any ti to catch up with you," Jill pouted as she had managed to find ti to spend with lissa.
"Don’t worry, no."
lissa sat on the sofa with a blanket over her stomach.
After a while, Adela was brought in.
When Jill saw her, her brows furrowed and asked, "Wha the hell happened to you? You look holess."
lissa was also a little surprised by Adela’s appearance. Within half a month, she looked nothing like she did before.
"Long ti no see, Adela," lissa said. "How can I help you?" lissa pointed casually to a chair in a corner and asked her to sit down.
Adela knelt directly on the ground and apologized, "I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have done what I did. Please forgive ."
lissa wasn’t moved by her apology. She knew that if Adela still had money, she would not be here begging for forgiveness. More like, Adela would be plotting her revenge.
"You ca here today to say this?"
"I beg you forgive . Please call the people off. I can’t go anywhere without people harassing or taunting ," Adela continued.
Hearing this, lissa burst into laughter.
"You think too much of yourself. I’ve never asked anyone to follow you. You’re being harassed based on your actions not mine!"
"I apologize to you for what happened before, " Adela said again.
"What are you doing apologizing to ? The situation is over and done with. If that is all you wanted, you can see yourself out." lissa said dismissively. Shedidn’t care about her existence at all.
If Adela had been smart, she would have secured her future instead of trying to be petty. Again, she did this to herself. It was no one else’s fault but her own that she was holess now. Adela would not have been forgiving if the shoe was on the other foot.
"Don’t we still have a contract? The contract has not expired. You are still my manager." Adela blurted out as shesuddenly rembered the contract they signed.
lissa stood up slowly. She went to her file cabinet. After flicking through so folders, she pulled out Adela’s.
"I rember that the contract with you was for a three-month period, including your training!" lissa casually flipped to the last page and found that it just ended today.
The contract would not be valid after today. Even if there was a month left, lissa wouldn’t honor this contract since Adela signed it with a fake na with malicious intent.
"See for yourself," lissa said as she handed the contract to Adela, "The contract ends today."
Adela couldn’t believe her eyes. She didn’t pay attention to the ti period when she first signed. Adela signed it without hesitation. At that ti, she just thought as long as she had a relationship with lissa that she didn’t have to worry about the rest. That was the irony of the situation. Adela didn’t even consider things devolving to this point.
"Are you trying to trick ? Is our relationship over?" Adela questioned suspiciously.
"Have you not seen yourself?" Jill responded. "Look in the mirror sweetie. Do you really think we would go through great lengths to fra soone like you? You think too highly of yourself."
"Have you not done enough? Now you’re going to kick when I’m at my lowest?!" Adela snapped at Jill, who shrugged at her.
"Now, please leave the premises. There are many people here that who don’t want to see you ever again," lissa stated as she stood up. She opened the door and motioned for Adela to leave. If the public relations departnt knew Adela was here, they probably would go into a frenzy due to how much stress Adela caused.
lissa stood by the window watching Adela go.
"Do you think I’m cruel?" lissa asked.
"No. You gave Adela many opportunities to stop what she was doing and she refused to do so," Jill answered. She knew how much lissa endured throughtout her life and knew that lissa tried to do the right thing even to her enemies.

Adela walked out of the building and really wanted to dive straight into the river.
When she began to consider it more, an unfamiliar number called her cell phone.
Adela didn’t know the number, so she ended the call. She was trying to preserve as much battery as she could. Who knew when she would be able to charge it again? She had to find wifi to even make calls.
The number continued to call her and Adela finally answered.
"Hello, I’m Huyu Live. We would like to invite you to be our strear."
The voice on the other end of the phone was like a life-saver, pulling Adela Yale out of the vortex of darkness.
She agreed without thinking.
Adela went to a park bathroom and cleaned herself up as much as she could. She put on one of her cleaner outfits and went to the company building.
It was just a simple two-story, building, but there were no less than ten luxury cars parked at the door, all of which were more than one million.
This made Adela hopeful that she could recover from this low point in her life.
She entered the building and spoke to the receptionist, who had been waiting for her. The president contacted the person in charge, who ca downstairs to speak with Adela.
"We saw your situation in the news. We believe that you didn’t deserve to be harassed in that way. We believe in offering second chances. We wanted to invite you to be our strear. You have potential and think you’ll do well here.What do you think?"
