Noman was a man of action through and through
With a single phone call, he had the gala organizers release the unedited video. It revealed everything the attacks from Averil’s fans on the red carpet and the coercive behavior of Julian and his group in the banquet hall.
Soon, the former colleagues who had accused me of workplace bullying were hit with legal notices and termination letters..
They didn’t even have time to profit from slandering me before losing their jobs.
The consequences for Julian, the mastermind behind it all, were far worse.
Word spread that his entire production line had run into major issues.
Noman later told me Julian was frantically trying to find me.
“If he apologizes and admits he was wrong, what will you do?” Noman asked, his fingers. lightly rubbing his temple–a telltale sign of his tension or anxiety.
I placed a freshly baked cake in front of him. “Julian would never admit he was wrong.
A bit of frosting clung to Noman’s lips, softening his usually sharp demeanor. “Why do your say that?”
“There were signs long ago,” I said with a bitter smile. “I just got used to burying my head in
the sand.”
From the moment the media caught him kissing Averil, I confronted hi
tears. But instead
of owning up, he dismissed me as immature and took Averil on a trip to see the Northern Lights.
That was when I knew some things were beyond saving.
I had anticipated Julian’s arrogance, but I never imagined his response would be to light up an extravagant fireworks display for Averil before publicly proposing to her.
With the help of online trolls, public opinion quickly turned against me again.
