<b>Chapter </b><b>172 </b>


    I propped up my knees and sat on the side, thinking about taking a rest.


    Suddenly, a few people walked towards me.


    I fixed my gaze and, to my surprise, it was a few colleagues from the library.


    Those few people had mocking expressions on their faces, clearly they came to mock me.


    I furrowed my brows, feeling a bit annoyed in my heart.


    “Hey, Esmeralda, were you working hard here?” a colleague said to me with a smile.


    I ignored him.


    Another colleague sneered, “Why are you doing manualbor instead of being a good documenter, Esmeralda? Are you naturally masochistic?”


    I stared at her coldly, feeling quite sad inside.


    They were all my good colleagues when we first started.


    Wemuted together, ate together in the cafeteria, and had a good time talking andughing while working. We also treated each other to milk tea and pastries.


    But now, they are the ones who mock me the most.


    The ones who trusted me the least were also them.

    I knew that these people were just passing through my life, so there was


    no need to care so much.


    But such a transformation, inevitably, made people feel sad and deste.


    After all, this was my first proper job, and I had always taken it seriously, taking every colleague here seriously.


    But the result…


    The more I thought, the sadder I became.


    í didn’t want to rest either, I got up and prepared to continue working. However, I had just stood up when a sudden dizziness hit me.


    I suddenly cked out in front of my eyes, and my whole body staggered and fell to the side.


    Fortunately, my waist was supported by a force.


    Before I could even steady myself,ughter came from beside me.


    “Look, this Bet, kept saying that Esmeralda has no shame, but ended up eagerly helping her.”


    “Yeah, Bet is such a hypocrite, he clearly had a crush on this woman a long time ago but refuses to admit it.”


    “Sure enough, his strong reaction this time must have been because he harbored hatred towards this woman due to love.”


    “Go away… Stop talking nonsense here.”


    Bet spoke and instantly retracted his hand, as if it was dirty. He. vigorously wiped the hand that had supported me on his clothes.

    I steadied myself against the cart and calmly said to him, “Thank you.”


    Anyway, he finally gave me a hand just now.


    Otherwise, I would definitely have fallen to the ground, and my baby inside my belly could have been in danger.


    So no matter how harshly he spoke or how ugly his actions were, I still had to say thank you to him.


    My gratitude startled Bet.


    ímmediately, a colleague next to them mocked, “You know what, this woman is really cunning. She knows that Bet is interested in her, so she deliberately leans towards Bet.”


    “Yeah, yeah, who knows, maybe she was just pretending to faint earlier. I mean, I’ve seen her lively and energetic before, she’s never been this weak.”


    “That’s right, once she fell down like that, Bet waspletely subdued. You see, Bet couldn’t say anything mean to her anymore.”


    “Alright, alright, I just casually helped her out, you guys are all overthinking it,” Bet said, feeling frustrated, and red at me. “Now hurry up and continue moving, if we can’t finish it, who knows how the boss will punish our department.”


    I silently pushed the cart to the side of the bricks.


    When I bent down to pick up a brick, I saw Reynaldo watching me from a short distance away.


    He smoked, with a cold and stern face, his eyes and eyebrows indifferent.


    Perhaps he was thinking that this punishment was still too lenient for

    him, and he was thinking of a harsher punishment.


    It doesn’t matter anymore.


    At the moment I bumped into him, I never thought that the days ahead would be better.


    Just my baby…


    No matter what, I absolutely cannot let him discover the existence of these two babies.


    I withdrew my gaze and mechanically threw the bricks into the cart.


    When I straightened up and looked over there after filling a cart with bricks, Reynaldo had already turned around and left, leaving me with an extremely indifferent back view.


    I pursed my lips sadly.


    If it were Kimberly, he would definitely not want Kimberly to do this hard work.


    Oh, what are you thinking!


    If it were Kimberly, don’t mention this hard work, she probably wouldn’t be willing to endure any punishment.


    I pushed the cart towards the west side of the construction site, waving away unnecessary sentimentality.


    When I came back after finishing a trip, my colleagues had already left, only Bet was still there supervising me.
