I stayed at home these past few days and
didn’t go to the studio. He couldn’t find me, he
just kept texting, trying to brainwash me.
Every time I saw his texts, I just blocked his
number.
く
He’d send texts through a new number and it
was just a never–ending cycle.
My parents and Ethan finally got back home.
Ethan gave me a lot of presents.
As soon as he came back, he pulled me to the
side, and said he had a surprise for me
tomorrow, when I went to his company.
When I asked what it was, he refused to tell me.
That night, I got a text from another unknown
number.
It didn’t say anything about marriage.
It said: 【Sarah, I know you never thought much
of me. But I’ve been promoted! My boss thinks I’m great, and said that maybe I’ll get another
promotion! This company is in the top 100 in
the world, even better than yours! I don’t care
about your money Got it?]

NO
about your money. Got it?】
Oh, so he was texting me just to brag about his
promotion.
I blocked his number, and then just went to bed.
I had to go to my brother’s company tomorrow.
But I never thought
That Nick was actually working at Ethan’s
company.
When I saw him, I realized what Ethan’s surprise was. I hadn’t told my family about my breakup
with Nick.
So when Ethan saw Nick at his company, he
must’ve used his power to promote him to
make me happy.
When he saw me, Nick rushed over, looking so
proud of himself.

“You came here because you heard I got a promotion, right? You want to get back together with me?”
What?
I couldn’t believe how confident he was.
I said nothing. Nick started looking around, and said loudly. “You always have these little nts. and you get upset and try to break up. But I’m willing to forgive you. Since you came to me, I’ll give you a chance. But in the future, you have
to listen to…”
“Stop right there!”
I made a ‘X‘ with my hands and rolled my eyes.
Then I said, “I came here to see Ethan.”
Ethan had chosen his name after he’d lost his
memory, in the foster home.

Since Ethan had only recently come home, he
still didn’t have his new ID.
So, Nick only knew my brother as Ethan, but
had no idea they were the same person.
As soon as I said that, Nick was about to ask what I meant.
Then, a young woman stepped forward, looked me up and down, before saying, with disgust:
“You’re here to see our CEO?”
I nodded. “Yeah, I said I would…”
“Do you think you can just see our CEO
whenever you want?”
The woman interrupted me, her face clearly
showing she was pissed off.
“You gold diggers are all the same. You see
<

that our CEO is rich and handsome, so you
chase him. Why would our CEO even look at someone like you?”
Ha, so now I was a gold digger.
“I don’t know what your CEO looks for in a
woman, but I know it’s definitely not someone who’s so… bitter.”
We all knew what she was.
I closed my eyes. She was clearly into my brother, but my brother probably didn’t even
know she existed.
So, I made her lose face in front of everyone, and she went red and yelled at me: “Do you
think you’re any better? Someone who throws
themselves at rich men? You can make yourself
look all pretty and look like you know what
you’re talking about, but deep down you’re all
rotten!”

She looked at Nick.

“Is this your ex–girlfriend? You said that she dumped you. But now she’s in our company, trying to get our CEO’s attention, so she can get rid of you and date a richer man. And here you are trying to win her back? What a joke!”
Even though Nick knew what type of person I was, he looked upset, as if I had done something wrong.
“Gia, stop it.”
Nick walked up to me.
“And you, Sarah. Our CEO is too busy for you, even if I know you came to see me, and that
you were using the CEO as an excuse.
Everyone else is dumb, but I understand.”
“Oh, shut up!”

I was so annoyed, I pulled out my phone and tried to call Ethan. But his phone was off.
I realized that he had sent me a text.
(03)
The text said: [Sarah, the overseas branch has had an emergency, and I need to go right away. I might be back in a few days. I’ll bring you a gift.)
But Gia didn’t know. She just saw that I didn’t get through and laughed.
“You gold diggers always want to get ahead, but you never can. I bet that number is fake. Even if it was real, he’s definitely blocked you. Now, get out, the cleaning lady worked so hard to make everything so clean, and you’re making it dirty.”
I looked at Gia. Was she working at a mental hospital, or a company?

I left the company, and Nick chased after me.
He blocked my way, and showed me his employee badge.
“Sarah, you know that I’m the real deal.
“I got promoted young. I can make a lot of money in the future. Maybe even more than your parents and you combined.”
“So?” That’s all I said.
My face was calm, as if I was mocking him.
He was angry. He was clearly trying to put on
an act since there was nobody around.
“So don’t disrespect me, I’ll be the one to be
respected in the future, and who knows, maybe
you’ll be asking for my heln ”

“I’m not crazy, I was just trying to have fun with you. But now, since we’re done, just pay for my broken window, and let’s pretend we never know each other.”
He paused, then pulled out his phone and was
about to send me some money.
“How much is that glass?”
“It’s not too expensive, just a couple of grand.”
Nick froze. “How much? Did you say a couple
of grand? Sarah, are you trying to rob me?!”
I was not overcharging him.
The glass wasn’t too expensive, but the pain of having my window broken, and paying to get it
fixed last minute? All of that cost a lot.
“A couple of grand is nothing to the future

CEO’s husband. Can’t you even afford it?”
