Goodbye, Saintess. Novel

Chapter 486 The hotel manager wiped the sweat from his forehead , bewildered . ' What kind of mess is this ? That man who just left ... He's her husband ? Who hires a male model for his own wife , then walks out with another woman ? He had worked in hospitality for years but had never seen anything so absurd . " I understand . You may leave , " Hera said coldly . Her expression was tense , and the last trace of hope in her eyes flickered out . " Yes , madam . If you need anything , please call me . " The manager bowed repeatedly and started to back away . " Get out !

" she snapped , catching the implication in his tone . " Sorry ! I misspoke . " He retreated quickly . The moment he left , Hera's face darkened further . She clenched her teeth until her jaw ached . " Sebastian , you'd rather hire a male model for me than touch me yourself ? Am I really that disgusting to you ? " Her voice trembled as tears streamed down her cheeks . " Back then , even once a month wasn't enough for you ... " Her words turned sharp , bitter . " Is it that woman beside you ? Is she the reason ?

" She couldn't bring herself to face the simplest truth - that Sebastian no longer loved her . Blaming another woman was easier than admitting that . " I tried to help you , and you refused . I threw myself at you , and you still turned me away . I want to see what kind of witch she is , to make you treat me like this ! " A cold gleam flickered in her eyes . " Sebastian , if I make sure no other woman can have you , will you finally come back to me ? " she whispered , her resentment swallowing what little shame she had left .

The hotel room fell silent as she collapsed alone - broken , furious , spiraling . Astrid dropped me off at a cosmetics factory on the edge of the city before heading back . " The scale looks decent . Hope everything goes smoothly . " I stood before the sprawling facility , feeling a wave of relief . From what I could tell , the factory wasn't much smaller than the two pharmaceutical plants in Beaushire . If a partnership worked out , it would easily meet Sleeping Giant Inc.'s production needs .

I walked toward the entrance , ready to ask for the factory manager , but a security guard stopped me before I could get far . " Hey , hey ! Stop right there ! Who are you ? What are you doing walking in like that ? " The guard looked to be in his early 40s , overweight , stuffed into a uniform that strained at the buttons . His face was dark , his tone darker . " Sir , I'm the CEO of Sleeping Giant Inc. I came to discuss a potential partnership with your director , " I said , keeping my tone polite . +25 Bonus " Partnership ? With you ?

" The guard gave me a lazy , mocking look and curled his lip . " You're too young for that story to fly . CEO of a company , huh ? Your bragging doesn't even have a draft . I'd sooner believe pigs can fly . For all I know , you're some random guy sneaking in to stir up trouble . " He waved a hand dismissively . " Get lost . Don't block the way . " I frowned , my patience thinning . " You should still call your manager . If this deal goes through , it could bring your factory millions in profit . " " Millions ? Ha ! " His expression hardened . " You done talking nonsense ?

You're so young - have you even seen a million dollars ? " He snorted . " I don't care who you say you are . If you want to meet the factory manager , you need an appointment . Otherwise , you're not getting in . " admin Olivia Harris is an emerging author celebrated for her captivating romantic and steamy novels.
