I’d set my phone to airplane mode while sleeping, but the moment I turned it back on, the notifications poured in like an avalanche–over 99 missed calls, buzzing incessantly.
Seconds later, the phone rang again. Curious about this persistent stranger, I answered.]
“Hello?” I ventured.
Ryan’s familiar voice came through immediately. “Evelyn, how long are you going to keep this up? You moved out of the apartment? Where are you staying now?”
“Chloe has already forgiven you, and I won’t ask you to apologize to her anymore. Just come back to work, and I’ll promote you to be my assistant!”]]
I laughed bitterly. “Did you read the message I sent you yesterday? If you were too busy with engagement congratulations, I don’t mind telling you in person.“]
There was a sudden silence on the other end as Ryan held his breath.
“We’re over,” I continued. “Is that clear enough for you? Do you understand now?“]]
I hung up without waiting for his response, then blocked and deleted the number.
The day had barely begun, and Ryan had already ruined my mood.]
How annoying!
