Law Firm Love Triangle: I'm the Fool Chapter 9
Chelsea stood beneath the streetlamp, arms slacks at her sides, her shoulders drawn tighter than they normally were. Behind her stretched the street lit up by bursts of fireworks.I closed up the bakery and stood in front of her, a polite smile still lingering on my face.She lowered her head, her frozen face struggling to force out a smile."Ramon, I messed up. I had the best of you, and I lost it. I know you won't ever forgive me, and I'll never forgive myself either. But I just wanted to see you again."The wind swept up from the alley, sending the snowflakes tumbling and swirling.I glanced at the snow that had gathered on her shoulders, then turned away and rubbed my eyes."You've seen me, and you've said what you came to say. Chelsea, it's time for you to go. My mom set me up with someone. She's a college professor, and she's genuinely kind. She never makes me feel dumb."She doesn't switch up our plans at the last minute, and she sure as hell doesn't call me stupid. Most

Chelsea lifted her head and looked at me. "I saw the bathrobe photo Owen posted. And I also found the records of the documents he used to frame you in the past."I nodded. "Then go, and don't come back."The wind chime at the door gave a soft tinkle.The wind gusted through the doorway, lifting wisps of her hair. But she paid it no mind and simply stood outside, watching me.But I never once looked up.By the time winter set in, I had truly made a name for my bakery. Every batch of bread I baked each day was gone in no time.I had never imagined that the food I loved to eat could one day support me. But at last, I realized that doing what I loved brought me far more joy and fulfillment than devoting myself to what someone else was passionate about.When the first snow fell, Chelsea came again. Wrapped around her neck was the red scarf I had given her the year before.She walked over from across the street in a white coat, stopping about two yards in front of me. Thick snowflake
Law Firm Love Triangle: I'm the Fool Chapter 7
I was crouching under the locust tree, eating a bagel, when I saw Chelsea.I was in my pajamas and flip-flops. She was in a tailored dress, looking utterly travel-worn.Chelsea stood there, lips pressed into a thin line. Head lowered, she stared at me with a wounded, aggrieved look."Aren't you going to buy me breakfast?" she asked."Let me make myself a little clearer. Chelsea, we broke up. You shouldn't be showing up in front of me anymore," I said.Her mouth twitched. "You're right. But I didn't agree to it, nor am I willing to break up."I didn't respond."It's only now that I've realized I can't live without you. I've grown used to your smell, to seeing the round top of your head bobbing around the firm, and to the coffee you make for me. When other people make it, it's either too bitter or too sweet. I could never get used to theirs."She stared at me intently, as if trying to confirm something."It was always you I loved. Not Owen, and it never would've been him."I gl
Law Firm Love Triangle: I'm the Fool Chapter 6
The day after I left, everyone noticed the change in Chelsea. Her smile had lost its warmth, and she even stopped talking shop with Owen, cutting him off cold.Aside from the necessary court appearances and client meetings, Chelsea had practically locked herself away in her office. No one knew what she was doing in there.Not even Owen, and that gnawed at him unbearably. He had thought that after all the effort he'd put into driving me out of the firm and out of Richton, Chelsea would be his for the taking.There was no way he would allow things to go wrong at the very last moment. Thus, he knocked on the door to Chelsea's office."Come in."After that curt, clipped response, Owen decided to get straight to the point. "Chelsea, what's going on with you?"When she saw it was him, Chelsea furrowed her brows."I'm fine. If you have something to say, just come out with it."Owen's face went pale, and his eyes reddened in an instant. "Are you still blaming me for what happened?"Ch
Law Firm Love Triangle: I'm the Fool Chapter 5
That afternoon after I left, Chelsea was sitting in her office when a sudden wave of panic rose up inside her chest.She kept telling herself that she had done nothing wrong. After all, Owen was a rising star in the legal world, while I was just an assistant who handled basic paperwork. She should know which one carried more weight.She told herself this over and over again. But no matter what she said or how she tried to convince herself, that suffocating sense of unease simply wouldn't go away.For the first time ever, Chelsea left work early. On her way out of the firm, she even politely declined Owen's invitation to go over a case together.She made her way down to the underground parking garage and slipped into her car. As she started the engine, an inadvertent glance made her freeze in place.The passenger seat was covered in traces of Owen—a blue cushion, gray slippers, and his mouth spray tucked into the side compartment. Even hanging from the rearview mirror was Owen's zo

As soon as I walked in, a pale-faced Kimberly immediately pulled me into a corner."Something has gone terribly wrong! The case files for Electro Group were somehow leaked. They are one of our firm's key major clients, and the big boss was so furious he nearly smashed up his own office. "Be careful. Neil might be looking for you precisely because of this."I nodded and headed straight to the HR department.When Neil saw me, he shook his head with a troubled expression. "Ramon, the company's senior management suspects that you were the one who leaked Electro Group's case files, because the people who received them that day were Chelsea, Owen, and you."I felt as if my heart had been struck by a hammer."It wasn't me. If you don't believe me, you can pull up the surveillance footage from the conference room. I was only responsible for handing out the basic documents that day."I was sitting at the very corner of the conference table—I couldn't even hear what they were talking abo
