127 Chapter 127: Goblin Weakness

“What are we doing here?”

Emy remembers that place. She and her family live there in the area where she grew up. The bridge that she and Reed were standing on was the witness to all her hardships since childhood. She struggles in studying and working early to help her father earn money.

“Whoever hears me, I will trade myself for anything. Just get me out of this cursed life!”

Emy turned around at what Reed shouted. She giggled. “Jeez, what are you doing? What is that?”

“You don’t remember?” Reed asked.

“Why? Don’t tell me I did that?” Reed fell silent. Emy’s eyes widen. “No way.”

“That was the night I first saw you here. I just came out of the portal.” Reed said. “You were so devastated by what happened that day. You lost your job, and your father almost went to jail...”

Emy looked seriously at Reed. “Did that thing happen?”

“You don’t remember anything?”

.....

Emy didn’t answer. Instead, she looked around. Nothing has changed in the area. Noisy, crowded, and still smelly. But she couldn’t remember what Reed was saying. 𝙛r𝚎𝐞𝑤𝚎𝗯𝗻𝗼𝐯e𝚕.𝒄𝐨𝓂

Ivy was surprised when suddenly someone pulled her into the F01 room of their office. He leaned against the wall, holding her hand just above her head.

“Ian, what are you doing? Leave me alone...” said Ivy.

“After you didn’t let me sleep last night and drove me crazy, you still haven’t answered my calls and texts...”

“We don’t have anything to talk about. You don’t like me, do you? How often have you shown me that you don’t like me and will never have any interest in me? What are you doing now?”

“I take back what I said. I’m sorry.”

“Why? Because I’m no longer a whale? A pig or a rhino-like what you and your psychotic girlfriend call me?”

Ian brings his face closer to Ivy, he plans to kiss her, but she turns her face away from the man. If it was her dream to kiss this man, now she hates it.

“Let go of me, Ian,” Ivy said.

“Don’t you want me anymore? Don’t you like me anymore?”

“I don’t like you, Ian...”

Ian chuckled. “Come on, Ivy. I know you like me. Do you think I don’t know the secret way you look at me, the way you peek at what I do, and when you help me with my reports? I know all of that.”

“That was then, not now. I know your attitude, and all you want are women you can display to others. Now that you have seen my true color and body, will you change your girlfriend?”

“She has a beautiful body, but her head is weak. But you, apart from being smart, are beautiful and sexy. All in one...”

“I don’t care about you and what you want. Leave me alone..”

Ivy used her knee on the man’s groin. He let go of her and fell to his knees because of what she did. Ivy quickly ran out of the room. She bumped into Danica, her officemate, who is Ian’s girlfriend. She hurriedly left and went to their boss’s office.

Their boss was surprised by Ivy’s sudden decision to leave work.

“What?” asked her boss. “Why so sudden?”

Before Ivy could answer, Danica entered their boss’s office, followed by Ian.

“How dare you, Ivy,” Danica growled. “You just changed your appearance and became a snake? I hope you return to being a pig, so you don’t harm other people.”

“Watch your mouth, Danica.” said the boss. “What’s happening?”

“Ma’am Ivy seduced Ian. They hid in the F01 room and...” Danica said.

“Excuse me, why would I seduce your boyfriend?”

“Why not? I know you’ve wanted him for a long time...”

Ivy was about to answer when their boss spoke. “Is that true, Ian? Did Ivy seduce you?”

Ian glanced at Ivy. “Yes, Ma’am. She pulled me inside the F01 room. Ivy wanted something to happen to us. When I refused, she used her knee on me.”

Ivy looked at the two lovers. She couldn’t believe that they would do something wrong to her. And Danica being blind to what her boyfriend is doing is unbelievable.

“Ivy, won’t you defend yourself?”

“Why else? He knows what we’re saying is true...” Danica said. “She seduced my boyfriend.”

“Ivy...” said the boss.

“I want to quit, Ma’am.”

“What? Why?”

“I can’t work with people like them. When I was fat, they insulted my entire being and even involved my parents. Now that I’m thin, they’re still the same...”

“How dare you...” Danica said, but the boss raised her hand and stopped Danica from speaking with a sharp look at her.

“I want to grow, Ma’am. Sorry to say, but this kind of environment I’ve been enduring for six years. My character is ruined here, but no one ever heard me complain. But now, I’m fed up. I will resign and submit my resignation right now. I hope you accept, Ma’am. I want to be free.”

Ivy’s boss couldn’t say anything, so he hurried out of her office. She took a deep breath, sat at her desk, and started typing a resignation letter on her computer.

The next thing Emy and Reed went to was the office where they used to work. Emy remembered that place. She was an agent then.

“What are we doing here? Does this have a connection between the two of us?” Emy asked in surprise.

Emy didn’t remember anything from where she grew up in what Reed had told her. Reed invited her to that place now, her old workplace, where she met Avery and Jasmin.

The two were surprised to see them. Avery and Jasmin did not expect their sudden visit.

“Did you go for a walk, Sir?” Jasmin asked.

“I’m reminding Emy of where we met,” Reed said.

Avery and Jasmin looked at Emy. “And....”

“I can’t remember anything,” Amy said.

Jasmin and Avery glanced at Reed. Reed didn’t speak and was just silent.

“Didn’t you and Miss Emy meet at the bar?” Avery asked. f𝚛e𝚎𝘄𝒆𝚋𝚗𝚘ѵ𝑒𝚕.𝑐𝘰𝑚

“Yeah, after we met at the main branch.”

“What? You two met first?” Jasmin asked. “Is it true?”

“Because I erased everyone’s memories that time. As you know, I had to keep my identity a secret.”

“Shall we go to the pantry?” Avery asked.

“Not anymore. See you at the bar at 7 pm later...”

“Which bar?”

Reed smirked. “At the bar, you speak of.”

“Ah, okay...” Jasmin giggled. “Are you leaving soon, sir?”

“We still have a lot to go,” Reed said.

Emy was surprised when Reed grabbed her hand and pulled her out of the building. Avery and Jasmin waved to them.

Danica and Ian couldn’t believe what they were watching on their boss’s computer monitor. They didn’t know there was a CCTV in the F01 room, and Danica saw what had happened inside it. Their boss and Danica even heard their conversation.

Danica was in tears while watching the video. She was hurt by what Ian said. They had been dating for five years, and she didn’t know that he thought so low of her. And Ivy, Ivy is innocent. She is also a victim of Ian, but still, she doesn’t want to talk to Ivy. She knew that her boyfriend liked her.

“You know what? Ivy has been working in my company for six years, and you guys started a year after. I thank you for that long service, but Ivy is the most efficient, hardworking, and honest person. I’d rather lose the two heads than the smart one.”

“Ma’am...” Ian said.

“I understand. I will resign right now.” Danica said, then quickly left the room.

Ian stood up and was going to follow Danica, but the boss let didn’t him go.

Meanwhile, Danica and Ivy’s eyes met. Danica left the room, and Ivy entered the office to her boos.

“You better stay. I will resign.” Danica said, then left Ivy.

Ivy followed Danica until she reached her seat. Ivy entered the office and saw Ian there. Ivy was about to leave when the boss stopped her. She made her sit in front of her desk across from Ian.

“Danica will resign, and I will not stop her.” said their boss. She looked at Ian. “Now, it’s your decision, Ian.”

Ian glanced at their boss and Ivy. “Do you not like me, Ivy?”

“I like you then, I admit, but knowing who you are and what you are, I lost my feelings for you. You can not resign because I am willing to do that.”

Ivy placed the paper on top of her boss’s desk. She stood up and hurried to the door.

.....

“Ivy...” Ian said.

Ivy just smiled slightly and left the room.

——–

“Damn...”

Marita closed her eyes as she stood in front of the corner of her bar. Her power is weakening. Twenty-four hours have passed. She has fulfilled the wish of the fat woman, but still, nothing is happening in return for what she wants.

She opened her eyes and teleported away.

Ivy is on her way home and has her things with her. The taxi was waiting for him. When he left the building, Ian immediately approached him. She immediately avoided him.

“You don’t have to resign, Ivy. I’ll leave,” said Ian.

“No. I want to leave. I’ve wanted to do this for a long time, not because I’m unhappy with the company but because I want to grow. You have nothing to do with me leaving.”

“Ivy, I’m sorry,” said Ian. “For everything I did to you, I told you. I’m sorry.”

“Sorry is useless when the damage is done, especially, for almost six years, I endured all your insults to my personality. But don’t worry, I wouldn’t say I like to hold grudges. It’s just pity.”

Ivy walked again and was next to the taxi. Ian still followed her.

“Ivy...”

Ivy was about to open the taxi door when she noticed the sudden silence around her. She turned to see that everyone there had stopped. Everything stopped in time. Ivy looked around and noticed a familiar woman in the distance. But compared to what she was wearing at the bar, it’s sexier now-a protruding horn on the forehead and a tail that dances in the wind. Ivy wanted to run, but she couldn’t move at that moment. The creature also stared at her thoughtfully as she approached.

‘What does she need?’
