If I had known I would run into Sailub at the banquet, I would have refused my boss's invitation half an hour ago.
But now, with Sailub already standing in front of me, leaving would be impolite.
Besides, my boss was introducing me with a smile.
Even though I kept my head down, I could still feel Sailub's intense gaze, like a starving wolf, mercilessly tearing apart my clothes, ready to devour me whole.
After all, no man can tolerate being abandoned by their partner.
And moreover, I had disappeared for three whole years.
"This is the young and accomplished editor, Thanapon Aiemkumchai, right?"
Sailub's smile didn't reach his eyes: "Editor Thanapon looks a lot like someone I used to know."
Cold sweat immediately ran down my back. I hadn't expected Sailub to confront me so directly.
Unaware of the tension, my boss cheerfully responded, "Who might this person-be, Mr. Sailub? Perhaps Lil Pon has met them before?"
My heart raced like crazy. I wished I could stretch out two hands, one to cover Sailub's mouth, the other to cover my boss's.
But I couldn't do that.
When I raised my head, sure enough, I met Sailub's half-smiling gaze.
His lips curved slightly, showing an expression I knew all too well.
I knew he was waiting for me to plead, to look at him pitifully and beg him not to speak.
After all, during the two years we were together, Sailub always enjoyed looking at me like this in bed.
His occasional madness had terrified me.
At the time, as a beta, I was forced to behave like an omega.
All I could do was cry and beg.
Remembering this, my face flushed slightly.
Pushing those thoughts aside, I bit my lip and looked at Sailub with damp eyes, "Mr. Sailub, you must be joking. How could someone like me have crossed paths. with a person of your status?"
Sailub's smile faded, his handsome mouth tightening, and his whole demeanor changed.
It was as if, in the next moment, he might throw a punch at me.
I hurriedly shut my mouth.
All I heard was a cold laugh from Sailub. The pain I expected didn't come.
When I opened my eyes again, I saw my boss looking at me with a complicated expression.
His wrinkled face showed a worried look, "Lil Pon, did you and Mr. Sailub have some bad experience?"
"The way he looked at you, it was like a man who had been abandoned by his wife."
Patting me on the shoulder, my boss spoke earnestly,
"If you really did steal Mr. Sailub's wife, you better run quickly.""Everyone in the business world knows that Mr. Sailub has been turning the whole city upside down looking for his wife."
My mouth twitched slightly.
I didn't know how to explain the truth to my boss.
After all, I didn't steal Sailub's partner, because/was Sailub's partner.
But saying that out loud, no one would believe it.
Who would have thought that someone as top-tier as Sailub would have a beta as his partner?
After my boss finished speaking, he sighed and walked away, still seemingly suspicious that I had stolen Sailub's wife.
Calming my breath, I realized my back was slightly damp.
I started walking toward the restroom.
But before I could reach the deor, a hand grabbed me and pulled me into a nearby small cubicle.
Sailub's face was dark, but his arms gently encircled my waist.
He held me close, whispering: "Are you planning to abandon me again this time?"
His voice was filled with an inexplicable sense of hurt.
