I Walked Into Her Wedding With a USB Drive: The Smeared CEO's Comeback Novel

Chapter 4 " She is not , " I said , looking at Lauren , " a full - time employee yet . " " Let me clarify one thing . " The company is not rejecting a reasonable wedding leave request . " " What I rejected was an unreasonable demand from someone who had been employed for only two days , was still in her probationary period , to receive full - time employee benefits , while attempting to apply pressure through public opinion . " My words were clear , each one hitting like a hammer . The venue was quiet for a few more seconds .

The screen behind me switched to a live feed of the stream's comment section . Messages were flying too fast to read , a frantic blur of disbelief . " Wait ... TWO DAYS ?? " " She worked TWO DAYS and demanded wedding leave ?? " " Since when do temps get full benefits ? Is she for real ? " " So the boss wasn't the villain , she's just an entitled brat ? " " This isn't a labor issue ... it's a temper tantrum . Total plot twist ! ' Public opinion shifted instantly . Lauren's face visibly paled . She clutched her wedding dress , her body beginning to tremble . " I didn't know !

I didn't see that ! I just started , I didn't know anything ! " She stumbled over her words in panic . " Jessica Shaw ! Why didn't you tell me earlier ? You did this on purpose ! You wanted to ruin me ! " She started wailing again , trying to turn it into a moral accusation . " Are you sure you didn't know ? " I asked calmly . I reached for a third document , a standard A4 sheet , this one a printed form . " This is the Chapter 4 44.44 % orientation training sign - in sheet from October 18th . In the bottom right corner , is Ms. Lauren Mitchell's own signature .

" Then I held up another stack of printed materials . " These are the training materials from that day . I bookmarked one page . " I turned it towards the cameras . A section on leave policies was highlighted in fluorescent marker . " The rules on leave , in black and white . " " She not only received the materials , she signed , confirming she had read and understood all the terms . " " And now you're telling me you didn't know ? " Lauren was completely speechless . Her mouth hung open , no sound coming out , tears still streaking her face , looking both pathetic and ridiculous . " You ...

" she stammered . " Enough ! " A roar cut through the air . Not from me . From the groom standing next to Lauren . His face was ashen , his chest heaving . He whirled to face Lauren , his eyes bloodshot . His gaze was filled with shock , humiliation , and a trace of confused betrayal . "You've only worked there two days ? " He growled through gritted teeth , the words barely audible . " You told me you were already a manager ! " " How much else have you been hiding from me ? " . Lauren flinched at his roar . " Andy , please , let me explain . It was her ... " " Was what ?

" he snapped , cutting her off sharply . Below them , the crowd erupted . Whispers exploded into open , shocked discussion . 44.44 % " What is this ? She was trying to scam wedding leave , and she lied to her fiancé too ? " " How embarrassing , causing a scene at her own wedding . " " Two days on the job and she dares pull this ? Unbelievable . " " That poor guy , stuck with someone like that . " The atmosphere was painfully awkward . The looks everyone gave Lauren shifted from sympathy to scorn and disgust . Her sobs caught in her throat , reduced to shaky breaths .

I stood there holding the documents , waiting for her next move . The wedding background music had stopped at some point , leaving only the suffocating quiet and the murmur of the crowd .
