Whether Bruce had a mistress or not, it had nothing to do with me. I would not interfere in any issues between Bruce and Shirley this time.
After Bruce left, I also went home.
In the days to come, I would devote more time to my work. My sister-in-law sent me messages several times, inviting me to have dinner at her place, but I declined, citing work as the reason.
Bruce often socialized outside. He used to be afraid that my sister-in-law would be bored, so he would often accompany her after work, chatting or going shopping.
Now that I was not with Shirley, besides supervising my nephew's studies, she just kept sending messages to Bruce all day long.
When Bruce was annoyed, he would simply turn off his phone.
When Shirley couldn't find Bruce, she would go to his company, but she always happened to encounter Bruce being out for social engagements.
After a long time, Shirley discovered some clues.
"Emily, is your brother having an affair? He hasn't been coming home lately. I went to his office to look for him, but he wasn't there," my sister-in-law asked me with a worried expression.
"Shirley, Bruce has been busy with social engagements lately. Don't worry too much. He's working hard for the sake of your family."
With my persuasion, my sister-in-law put down her doubts.
I took her out shopping, and she bought a bunch of clothes for Bruce, and toys for my nephew.
I resented her for killing me in my previous life, but I couldn't let my sister-in-law notice, so I still paid for her as before.
Finally, Shirley happily carried a lot of things home.
She cooked a table of dishes and asked me to stay for dinner, but I casually found an excuse to refuse.
After I returned home, I called my leader and accepted the plan to go abroad for training for three months.
In my previous life, Shirley and Bruce were getting divorced. I felt sorry for her, facing all this alone, so I gave up the opportunity to go abroad for training.
At that time, Mr. Cox felt regretful and repeatedly advised me not to give up.
"Emily, you should know that as long as you complete the training well, you may come back as the company's vice president."
I had been working in the company for five years, always working diligently. Mr. Cox appreciated me and wanted to promote me as the deputy manager.
