That was classic Wendy, always worried I'd get hurt, afraid she wouldn't be there to protect me when needed."I promise I'll take care of myself."I grabbed my coat and left with Wendy.The forecast predicted snow. The sky was gloomy, with a biting wind that cut like knives.I went to get my car from the garage and loaded Wendy's abandoned suitcase into the trunk.Just as I closed it, Luke's car appeared.Wendy waved at the vehicle.Peter stopped and lowered the window, smiling. "Good morning, Ms. Middleton, Miss Smith.”"Morning, Peter.”We replied in unison, looking toward the back seat.The rear windows were tinted, but I could make out a figure.From the height and posture, it was Luke.Peter checked his rearview mirror, but the passenger remained still."Mr. Walker's tired. I'm taking him home."He raised the window.Wendy stared at Luke's car. "He's sleeping?""Probably."Luke was usually a light sleeper - he'd wake when the car stopped.Him not greeting us likely

Unless he planned it that way.I quickened my pace, hoping to reach the elevator and escape the persistent reporters. Unsatisfied with my answers, they blocked my path, refusing to back down. Trapped in their midst, I pulled out my phone to call building security. Security arrived quickly and escorted me to the elevator. When the doors closed, the chaos finally faded away.In the lobby, the receptionist called out softly, "Ms. Middleton, is Mr. Walker dating someone?""You'll have to ask him yourself. Let me know if you get an answer."We were friendly, so I winked playfully."My tarot cards already told me."She showed me her deck."They say Mr. Walker's in love.""Did they tell you when you're getting promoted?""As a receptionist, there's not much room for promotion." She smiled good-naturedly. "But they say I'll get a nice wedding gift when you get married!""..." She should be giving me gifts at my wedding! Her cards were wrong!"So when are you getting married?""Need t

Was he avoiding questions about the gala?I carefully reviewed the trending news articles again. They only mentioned Luke and Emily leaving the same room. With anyone else, I might assume something inappropriate happened. But Luke was different - he had enough self-control to maintain boundaries.I sat at my desk and started working. Luke didn't come to the office that morning. He called Zac to postpone the day's schedule. Previously, he would have contacted me directly about such changes. After a moment of melancholy, I composed myself.Heading home after work, I saw Emily leaving Luke's house. She recognized my car and waved. Out of politeness, I stopped."Finished work, Ms. Middleton? I bought two cakes - one for Luke, one for you. Yours is in my car." Before I could respond, she walked to her car parked in front of Luke's house, unlocked it, and retrieved a bakery bag. "I followed a local food blogger's recommendation. They're really good.""Thanks." I placed the bag on my pas

Luke usually just copied my choices for pet supplies. These unopened items weren't the brands I typically bought. Emily knew Luke had pets - these must be from her.I cast a complicated look toward his upstairs study before leaving with my dog. Sensing my low mood, my dog wasn't its usual playful self, occasionally rubbing against my leg. I picked it up and buried my face in its fur.Marianne had given it a bath today - it smelled faintly of jasmine, so pleasant."I'm scared," I whispered to my dog.Scared the news was true, scared he'd end up with Emily, scared my barely-opened heart would close again.My dog whimpered, nuzzling my cheek affectionately.I gently stroked its head. "At least I have you."My phone rang - not the name I'd hoped for. I answered."Baby, I've reached the hotel safely!"During work, I'd called Wendy, guessing she'd reached her destination, but she hadn't answered. Now she was calling back."Did Luke explain last night?""Yes," I lied, not wanting to w

Stop thinking!I can't think about this anymore!With my head throbbing, I finished washing up and buried myself in my blankets like an ostrich. I wanted to fall asleep quickly, to forget all the chaotic thoughts in my mind. But no matter how hard I tried, various images kept flashing through my head, some clear, some hazy.Two hours passed, and I still wasn't the least bit sleepy. I got up and opened my bedside drawer, searching for melatonin and sleeping pills. After losing my child, I went through a period where I couldn't sleep at night. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw my lost baby and the cruel faces of Max and Annie.I tried many ways to help me sleep, but nothing worked. I eventually relied on sleeping pills to rest. Having finally broken free from them, I couldn't let myself fall back into that trap. I threw the sleeping pills back in the drawer and took a melatonin instead, then lay back down.About half an hour later, I dozed off. In my dreams, all the painful memorie

Before I'd finished speaking, I was already out the door.I ran home in one breath and went straight to my bedroom to put away my clean clothes in the wardrobe. As I closed the cabinet door, I started to lose my composure.If he told me this morning not to exercise at his place anymore, was he planning to fire me next? I suddenly understood why he had contacted Zac and Brian yesterday without going through me. Well, I still had my dignity - I would hand in my resignation before he could fire me.With no appetite, I ran in the courtyard for half an hour, got ready, and drove to the office. It was early, and the office was quiet. I quickly wrote my resignation letter and left it on Luke's desk before he arrived.I expected HR to contact me about exit procedures soon, but the whole morning passed without a call from them or Luke. Until he accepted my resignation, I had to keep doing my job properly. I had to go through the motions, taking each day as it came and continued my duties.

There were only a few MNCs in Johnsonville. When I first started job hunting, they had all rejected me. Working as Luke's assistant would be a significant highlight on my resume. Logically, this experience should help my job search, but I worried they would dig too deep and ask why I left JL Capital. After some thought, I decided to skip these companies and focus on small to medium-sized businesses. After reviewing company profiles, I made a list of potential targets.Having done this, the weight on my chest lifted slightly. The world would keep turning without anyone. I had already been through the mess of heartbreak once before - it had nearly destroyed me. This time, I would pull myself out as quickly as possible.To prevent my emotional turmoil from affecting my sleep, I exercised intensely. The feeling of sweating heavily made my whole body feel refreshed. After washing up, I lay in bed, my physical exhaustion helping me fall asleep quickly.The next morning, my alarm woke me

This was my first job, and after realizing my feelings for Luke, I had thought about resigning several times. Now that I had finally left, I felt an overwhelming sense of nostalgia.When I faced hardships, Luke had helped me without hesitation. He and Wendy had given me a new life. I was filled with gratitude toward him - even if we became strangers now, I could never hate or resent him.I started my car and drove home to begin sending out resumes. Two days later, I received two interview invitations - one from an internet gaming company and another from a talent agency. Neither matched my field of study, but after careful consideration, I decided to go to the interviews.The head of the internet company was a young man around thirty, carrying himself with an air of arrogance. After getting the interview notice, I had researched the company. They had been operating for five years and had grown to their current size after two rounds of financing.The company had launched dozens of g
