But I should’ve known that things rarely go according to plan.
I was planning to leave the nicely-packaged scarf on Sally’s desk to surprise her. But as soon as the elevator doors slid open, the scene that greeted me took me by surprise.
Sally and Adam were standing side by side in the elevator. At first, I was going to say hello, but then I saw that Adam’s hand was resting on
Sally’s butt.
Even though the elevator doors had opened, Adam still showed no intention of withdrawing his hand. Instead, he pinched Sally’s butt hard. His smile was so obscene. Clearly, he was enjoying himself.
Sally gritted her teeth and endured the shame and humiliation, but I could see the anger and grief in her eyes.
Such a scene made me remember the night Adam nearly assaulted me at the banquet. My blood boiled at the memory.
This fucking jerk was trying to take advantage of his secretary again!
I clenched my fists so tightly that my fingernails dug into my palms.

“Ivy, you were right! Such a jerk doesn’t deserve a mate!”
Ivy was also worked up. “I’m going to kill this bastard!”
Finally, Adam noticed my existence.
But even when we locked eyes, his hand did not move away from Sally’s butt.
On the contrary, Adam then moved his hand to the small of Sally’s back.
Like the claw of a devil, he stroked her waist, as if he was toying with a piece of art.
I was pissed off to no end.
This shameless bastard!
“Mr. Cooper,” I couldn’t help but greet him through gritted teeth.
“What brings you here? Aren’t you supposed to be at my house?” Adam glanced at me casually.
As he spoke, he continued to stroke Sally’s waist with his accursed hand.
Only then did it dawn on me that in Adam’s eyes, she-wolves were just toys to him. To him, Sally, Emily, and I were all the same. What a fucking jerk!
I nearly slapped Adam on the spot, but fortunately, my reasoning was able to tame my anger somewhat.
Pretending not to have seen anything, I reached into my bag and took out the scarf.
“sir, Mrs. Cooper bought some gifts for some of the female employees and asked me to deliver them,” I lied.
Worried that Adam didn’t understand what I meant, I specifically stressed, “Including Sally.”
