I’m Someone Else

“Are you kidding me? Do you think I care about my surroundings if I’m in the mood to teach someone a lesson?” Thomas
growled. At that very moment, a pleasant, sing-song voice sounded in the hall. “Why is everyone gathered here? Don’t you guys
need to work?” The crowd turned around to see two gorgeous ladies walking toward them, with one lady walking in front of the
other. The person who had just spoken was none other than the president of Pearson Group—Olivia! Olivia had a meeting to
attend, and she had just come down to get Thomas to drive her out. She hadn’t expected to encounter this commotion when she
got to the lobby. The girl behind her, who looked just as youthful and pretty as her, was Chloe!
The commotion at the lobby had been a huge one—Chloe’s colleagues in the administration department had been discussing it
earlier. Chloe overheard them talking about a fight happening in the company, but she hadn’t paid much attention to it since it
had nothing to do with her. However, she started feeling uneasy when she heard that the person involved in the fight was Olivia’s
personal driver. Isn’t that... Thomas?
“President Pearson, that guy stole a diamond necklace that Miss Lynch was supposed to deliver to a client. He even injured Mr.
Turner!” someone cried. “That was exactly what happened! Let’s call the police, President Pearson. This guy is really violent!”
another one said. “How dare he? He beat someone up after stealing an item! It’s too dangerous to have a man like him in our
company. Mr. Turner might be the only one who got injured today, but we never know who he might injure next!” The crowd
huddled closer to voice their complaints when they saw Olivia walking over.
Before Olivia could say anything, Chloe rushed over to stand in front of Thomas as if she were a protective lioness. “What
nonsense are you guys talking about? Thomas would never steal anything!” she cried. Thomas patted Chloe on the shoulder as
a signal for her to calm down. “Are you guys saying that he stole something?” Olivia asked as she gazed at Thomas.
Do they think Thomas stole something? How could that be? Dad told me that Thomas wasn’t even mildly intrigued when he
offered him 750,000. Why would Thomas steal a necklace worth 28,000? That’s ridiculous! Olivia thought.
“That’s not it, President Pearson!” Molly hurried forward to explain the situation. “Thomas was just sitting there without moving.
Miss Lynch was the one who walked past him before claiming that he stole something!” If Thomas hadn’t stepped forward earlier,
Molly might have been slapped a second time. Since she had already offended two senior members of the company, she figured
that she wouldn’t be able to keep her job for much longer. If that’s the case, I might as well stick to my principles and stand up for
Thomas! she thought.
“Molly was rude to her superiors in front of everyone, President Pearson. She doesn’t know where she stands at all! I bet she’s
Thomas’ accomplice—she keeps taking his side. I think she should also be sent to the station. The police can handle both of

them!” Izzy thoroughly despised Molly at that point. It seems like this woman still isn’t afraid after receiving that slap. I can’t
believe she’s still speaking up for Thomas. Well, Molly, don’t blame me for dragging you down along with Thomas, then!
“You’re making groundless accusations, Izzy! Who are you to make such claims about Thomas? You’re calling Thomas a violent
man, but weren’t you also violent when you hit me?” Molly felt extremely wronged—Izzy was too much. “Hmph! People like you
and Thomas deserve to be slapped. What are you going to do about it?” Izzy scoffed with a disdainful look on her face.
“F*ck! You’re the one who deserves to be beaten up!” Thomas was infuriated upon hearing Izzy’s words, and he felt the urge to
step forward and beat her up. Molly was just trying to restore justice to the situation, yet Izzy made it seem like she was my
accomplice. I’ve barely spoken to Molly in my whole life, and I’ve never interacted with her privately. How could she be an
accomplice? Thomas thought.
“Calm down, Thomas!” Olivia stopped the man when she saw Thomas edging forward with his fists clenched. “Calm down.
There are CCTVs in the lobby. I’ll know the truth after checking the clips,” she uttered. Thomas took a deep breath before he
calmed himself down. When Izzy heard that Olivia wanted to check the surveillance tapes, she instantly panicked. If Olivia
checks the security footage, wouldn’t I be exposed? No. I can’t let her do that!
“I don’t think there’s a need to check the security footage, President Pearson. We’re supposed to be at work now, and checking
them would only waste more time and reduce our work efficiency. A sneaky, sly thief like him should just be sent to the police.
The police can deal with him!” Izzy cried.
“Are you itching for a beating?” Thomas was triggered once more. As much as he wanted to heed Olivia’s orders, he couldn’t
stop himself from beating the woman up! He reached forward and grabbed Izzy’s hair before yanking it downward. “Ah!” Izzy let
out a scream as she felt her entire body being thrown to the ground. “Let go of me... It hurts...” she cried.
Thomas stepped on Izzy as he spoke. “I understand that you wanted to help your brother get a job as the president’s personal
driver. However, I was already the president’s personal driver before your brother came in for the interview! I didn’t ruin anything
for your brother—you’re the one who’s causing me trouble!” Thomas shouted.
“I was just having a meal with my friend when you came forth to cause me trouble. I held myself back that time because my
classmates were there. However, today, I was just sitting here without moving at all. Then, you stepped forward and claimed that
I had stolen something. Did you actually witness me stealing anything? Am I a thief just because you say I am? Stop trying to act
all high and almighty, Izzy. I was the SATs top scorer, and I can succeed in my career if I want to! I simply chose to enlist in the

army back then, but ultimately, I never did anything harmful! How is this any of your business?” Thomas sent a kick in Izzy’s
stomach, and she rolled over to where Curtis was lying.
The whole crowd was too stunned to speak for a moment. He even attacks girls... How cruel! Olivia was rather taken aback too,
but she didn’t want to make any comments just yet. After all, Thomas wasn’t just her personal driver; he had also saved her life
twice! He was her savior!
“This is the security footage, President Pearson!” Daniel from the security department brought the tapes over to Olivia. Olivia
nodded before tapping on the play button to watch what had happened. The footage made it clear that Thomas hadn’t moved
from the moment he sat down. Izzy, on the other hand, seemed to have thrown something into the gap between the cushions of
the couch while no one was looking. It was obvious that Izzy was trying to frame him. It also explained why Thomas was so
furious. He was accused!
“I want Frank to come over right now!” Olivia ordered. Daniel hastily dialed Frank’s number and got him to come over. Frank was
the head of the HR department, and it seemed like someone was about to receive some bad news! Soon enough, Frank walked
out of an elevator in a suit. “Take these clips and go through them. I want you to fire every single person who insulted Thomas!”
Olivia ordered.
