When Nora saw that Benjamin was silent, she glanced at her watch and exclaimed, “Mr. Benjamin, let’s get going. We’re going to be late!”She grabbed her bag and started trotting toward the elevator. Benjamin did not want to go to work at all because he could imagine how his boss would torture him after seeing him and Nora hugging after they had just broken up. Nora ran toward the elevator, turned the corner, and saw a certain man who should have taken the elevator up long ago. He was still standing there, leisurely waiting for the elevator, and he glanced at her coldly when he saw her trotting over. Nora was embarrassed. She smiled at him, then she took a step back and stood away from him as she waited silently for the elevator. She wondered why there was no one else waiting for the elevator. It was obvious that everyone had already left in the previous elevator. ‘Why is he still here?’Benjamin was frowning when he rushed over, and he felt like crying when he looked up and
Julian asked Benjamin this question indifferently as he sat down in his office chair after he threw the handkerchief away.When Julian passed in front of Benjamin, Benjamin could smell the vague trace of alcohol. He thought of Julian’s behavior when he came out of the bathroom earlier, as well as his action of wiping his mouth with a handkerchief, so he instantly guessed that Julian must have drunk too much last night. He must still be hungover now, so he went to the bathroom to throw up.Could it be that he had gone drinking because he was in a bad mood after the breakup?Benjamin’s guess was correct. Julian drove to the bar directly after he left Nora’s house last night. He drank alone until midnight even though he did not know why he was drinking.Logically speaking, he should feel relaxed and at ease after she ended their relationship in such a straightforward manner without dragging things out. After all, he had been thinking about how he could end this relationship without hu
She still had some self-awareness and knew that it was better for her to keep her distance in this situation.Julian’s anger had originally subsided a little before she came in, but his anger rose again when she referred to him as ‘Mr. Maton’. He closed the laptop in front of him forcefully, and the loud noise scared Nora, who was already feeling very apprehensive. She then saw him stand up with a cold expression as he strode toward her. He took the report in her hand and looked through it. The sound of him turning the report gave Nora chills all over as the wind blew. She felt as if her face was frozen when the wind hit her face. She could not help but protest in her heart, ‘Did he have to flip through the report so loudly?’She did not like such behavior when he was playing mental games. He could just express himself if he was dissatisfied. She felt that it was quite excessive for him to torture others with such actions. After confirming that there were no errors in the repor
Benjamin replied casually, “How would I know? Mr. Maton was the one who bought this.”Nora’s hand that was holding the box of dessert froze when she heard this.Benjamin was depressed as soon as he realized that he had misspoken. Meanwhile, Nora shoved the box of desserts back into his hands immediately as she said, “I’m sorry, Mr. Benjamin, but I can’t accept this box of desserts if he bought it.”Nora wondered what Julian was thinking. He had reprimanded her so harshly in the morning, but he sent someone to deliver desserts to her in the evening.Besides, they had already broken up, so it was hard for her to accept anything from him anymore.Benjamin said anxiously, “Listen to me. He felt sorry for reprimanding you in the morning, so he sent me to deliver this box of desserts to you. This is an indirect apology from him.”Nora shook her head. “He doesn’t need to apologize to me. It was my fault in the first place. He is the boss, so it’s only right for him to reprimand and sco
Julian initially thought of torturing her in this manner, but he did not expect that he would be the one who ended up getting angry because she locked him out as soon as he sent her home. He was so angry that he almost kicked her door down.He then left her place angrily. Mrs. Maton called him on the way, but he was upset and refused to answer her call. Julian knew that Mrs. Maton was calling him just to question him about the model who was rumored to be his new lover. Julian had been telling Mrs. Maton that he had a proper girlfriend for more than half a year before this, and he had made a promise on New Year’s Eve to bring his girlfriend home after the New Year. Mrs. Maton had been waiting, but the media exposed that Julian had a dinner date with a model a few days ago, and Mrs. Maton called Julian to question him about this matter immediately. He could not tell Mrs. Maton that he was dumped for no reason because he would be very embarrassed. He guessed that Mrs. Maton would tak
Nora did not understand why he could be a gentleman and a considerate and perfect lover when they were in a relationship but became a completely different person after they broke up.She thought that they could break up amicably, but she felt that he was constantly targeting her at every turn, from the last time she made a mistake and was criticized by him to him choking her with cigarette smoke. He had an extremely bad attitude throughout. After dinner and spending time with her mother, who was down with a cold, Nora returned to her apartment. She felt that there was still the residual smell of cigarettes left in her car from when he sent her home at night, so she kept the window open to disperse the smell all the way home. Otherwise, she would think of his scary and cold face if she smelled the cigarettes. She was still sleeping the next morning when she was awakened by a rapid knocking sound on her door.She did not know who was knocking on her door so inexplicably so early in
‘He’s rummaging through my kitchen cabinets to look for pasta. Is he going to cook the pasta and eat it? What is going on?’ Therefore, she replied angrily, “I threw it away.”The remaining pasta had indeed been thrown away by her. Firstly, she did not cook at all, so the pasta would be wasted anyway if it was left there. Secondly, she did not want things that carried memories of him to continue appearing in front of her, so she packed up the pasta and threw it away when she was cleaning up one day. Of course, she did not throw away the earrings or other expensive things that Julian had gifted her. She was reluctant to throw them away, not because they were gifts from him, but because those things were bought at a high price. She cared about money. She collected everything in a small box and sealed it at the bottom of her cupboard so that it would no longer appear in front of her eyes and add to her messy emotions.It should be a complete break up. Julian’s expression turned g
“I’m not eating!” She planned to continue walking back to her bedroom. After all, one would be bound by the gifts one accepted. She did not want to eat the breakfast he bought. Julian went to a lot of trouble to buy the sumptuous breakfast, not just for her to ignore it. Moreover, he had heated the breakfast up in the microwave when she was washing up because the food had gotten cold earlier. When she refused, he got up and walked over to block her. As she walked, he looked down at her fair face and asked, “Why do you have to torture yourself by skipping breakfast even though you’re mad at me?” Nora rolled her eyes at him and asked, “Who said that I’m mad at you? I don’t like to eat breakfast. I’m on a diet, okay?!”He was saying that she was throwing tantrums and getting mad at him, and he was making it so ambiguous that it seemed as if they were a couple who were quarreling. It made her feel extremely uncomfortable. “You’re on a diet?” He chuckled softly when he heard thi
