The product launch event was conducted as a live broadcast, and nearly every major media outlet was
present.
I was in charge of the opening, while the introduction of the new product was handled by the new
successor.
After the launch, there was a dinner banquet. In previous years, I always attended alone. But this year, I brought a very young man, Chris Jones, with me.
He was Shirley’s younger brother. He wanted to break into the entertainment industry, but his parents were against it..
So, he decided to go at it alone. Shirley was worried that he would face difficulties by himself and asked me to guide him.
As soon as he showed up, the entertainment media turned all their attention to him.
That night, he stole the spotlight. A bold reporter even asked if he was my boyfriend.
“No, he’s my good friend’s younger brother. I’m just helping him out,” I explained.
But the media did not see it that way. The reports the next day hinted at
thing I
A few days later, I took him to an auction and bought him several antiques. I even went so far as to establish an entertainment company just for him.
Once everything was taken care of, I really could not hold on any longer. I booked a one–way ticket abroad.
That night, I went to our old house, just wanting to see it from a distance.
But there I ran into Felix. His friends were holding him up. It seemed like he was drunk.
When they saw me, their eyes lit up.
“Miss Quinn, we’re handing him over to you. He’s so drunk he doesn’t even recognize his own house, insisting that’s his place.”
I did not take Felix from them.
“He’s right. That used to be our home, but I’ve sold the house.”
They were visibly stunned. Felix kept squirming, and they were barely able to hold him up.
“Where are you living now, Miss Quinn? He still needs to go home.”
I looked at them, wondering if they were really that clueless.
“I have nothing to do with him anymore. He can go wherever he wants.”
I walked around them, got into my car, and left. His friends had no choice but to take Felix back to their place.
“During drinks, we asked if he regretted anything, and of course, he said no. But the moment he got drunk,

“Man, poor guy. He doesn’t even know he’s in love. One day, he’ll regret it for sure.”

This was it. I was leaving for good, and I might never see them again.
Shirley cried so hard she could barely stand, asking why the good ones never live long.
“I don’t know. But for me, maybe this is my way of finding peace.”
Shirley asked if I had told Felix. I hadn’t, because I did not want him to worry.
“Even now, you’re still thinking about Felix? When has he ever considered your feelings?” she said.
I boarded the plane and did not hear her what she said.
I had entrusted her to take the contract I signed with Felix and give

to him.
Since things had never been mutual from the start, it was time to end it properly.
When I arrived abroad, I sought out the most renowned specialists. But unfortunately, they could not help me either.
Shirley messaged me, saying she had not gone through with it and that I should return to handle it myself.
“But I can’t anymore.”
Lunblocked Felix from my contacts, thinking selfishly that before I died, I wanted to leave him something to remember me by.
But my message wouldn’t go through at all.
Forget it.
“Goodbye. In this life, we’ll never meet again.”
