It wasn't difficult for Lady Boss to realize that her boyfriend had fallen victim to cunning and filth. She could have forgiven him and turned it into a lesson for her boyfriend. However, when she saw his unfocused gaze and foolish grin, only one word came to Lady Boss's mind:
"Loser."
She left the place and forgot about it. There was no more pity in her heart, no hurt feelings, or bitterness about her ex-boyfriend's foolishness. Just a slight disappointment because, once again, she had failed to seize the opportunity to have her own family.
Her reverie was interrupted when she suddenly sensed danger.
"Hmm?"
Lady Boss straightened her neck but saw no imminent danger. However, when she looked straight ahead, she understood where the danger was coming from.
Her driver had betrayed her.
The car she was in crashed violently into a fast-moving truck in front of her.
*BOOM!
When the front bumper of her luxurious car crumpled, when the driver who had worked with her for three years was thrown out of the front window of the car, when her thigh bone broke, when her leg tore open, when her ribs shattered, when her lungs were crushed, when her heart burst, and when death embraced her,
It was at that moment that Lady Boss realized who was behind all of this.
Though her driver wasn't particularly intelligent, he had loyalty that was unwavering. Otherwise, she wouldn't have trusted him to drive her car for three years. However, everyone had their price, and the price of her driver's loyalty was the safety of his beloved family, especially his daughter who was currently studying at a prestigious university in the capital.
Lady Boss knew the owner of that university; she was one of the key figures in the gender equality movement that was gaining momentum in their country. Lady Boss had also heard reports that the driver's daughter was actively involved in the movement. However, she didn't pay it much mind, not because she didn't sense the danger but because she didn't want to invite the wrath of the organization behind the movement just to help a driver's daughter.
Furthermore, due to her position and gender, the organization had approached her more than once. However, Lady Boss, aware of the chilling nature of the organization behind the movement, had refused to join. Although she wasn't particularly nationalistic, she felt a slight debt to the country that had been the foundation of her success in the world. She knew that if the organization got hold of what they were after, it would have a disastrous impact on this culturally rich nation.
Perhaps, if she had simply refused, the organization wouldn't have targeted her. However, her diligent efforts to find a partner showed a fundamental ideological conflict with the organization. Perhaps they feared that, in the end, when she had her own family, she would become a powerful example that successful women could also have happy families.
Perhaps they were also the masterminds behind the downfall of her ex-boyfriend. Maybe if he had been a bit more open, acknowledged his weaknesses, and asked for help, all of this could have been avoided.
But alas...
She could no longer turn back time, and the death had come to claim her soul.
