Back in Time: Unshackling From Love

Chapter 9

Jerome’s expression softened when he saw who was calling. He swiped open his screen,

Jerome had recently acquired Bernhal Enterprise, with Kylie appointed as the director,

Mikayla was dissatisfied and sought to prove her capabilities in the Miller Group.

In response, she faced Jerome’s mockery.

“You want to work? Do you even understand how to survive in the workplace? Kylie dedicated so much time and effort to gain the board’s recognition. Do you think you can achieve that so easily?”

“Mikayla, Kylie may not have the background resources you do. But she’s diligent and well–educated! Unlike you, other than bullying others, you have no other skills!”

“Alright, I got it.”

Jerome ended the call.

Mikayla snapped out of her recollection, too.

Jerome’s face overlapped with the one from her previous life. Mikayla suddenly felt suffocated.

“Mr. Ashford, please pull over. I need to get off.”

“Mrs. Miller, it’s not easy to get a cab here. Why don’t you go to the company with Mr. Miller, and I’ll send you back later?”

“No need. Just pull over here.”

Mikayla had no intention of spending another minute with Jerome.
