Chapter 9

Author: Bright Lights
Henry thought Jessica was finally going to agree to be with him.

Instead, he heard her say coldly, "I'll notify HR that you're fired. From now on, you'll have to make your own way. You and I have nothing to do with each other."

"Jessica!" Henry hurried after her. "You can't do this to me!"

Jessica coldly shook off his hand. "As your senior, I've already done more than enough for you. If you keep making a scene, don't blame me for what happens next."

Jessica forcefully shook Henry off and onc

    "Hunter, you'd rather be with a woman you just met than give me another chance?" Jessica asked.Wilma didn't let go of my hand. Instead, she tightened her grip.She didn't panic like an ordinary girl might have. She simply looked at Jessica calmly with a quiet determination that made me feel at ease."Don't worry. Your mom told me about what happened before. I don't mind. I only feel sorry that you had to go through all that."I took a deep breath and looked at Jessica with a sarcastic smile."Why should I give you another chance? We were together for seven years. I was almost sick enough to die, and you still refused to take me to the hospital."When I tried to go myself, you even took my phone away and said going to the hospital was a waste of money. You told me to tough it out."In seven years together, there wasn't a single moment when I felt like you treated me as your boyfriend. You were even more concerned about your junior than you were about me."What makes you think I

    Henry thought Jessica was finally going to agree to be with him.Instead, he heard her say coldly, "I'll notify HR that you're fired. From now on, you'll have to make your own way. You and I have nothing to do with each other.""Jessica!" Henry hurried after her. "You can't do this to me!"Jessica coldly shook off his hand. "As your senior, I've already done more than enough for you. If you keep making a scene, don't blame me for what happens next."Jessica forcefully shook Henry off and once again set out on the path of pursuing me.She deliberately accepted an assignment in Astarville City.She believed I had a soft heart, and as long as she kept pursuing me, we would eventually get back together.I brought Mom to live with me.Jessica had returned yet again.When she realized she couldn't win me over, she started trying to win over Mom instead.Whenever she had free time, she went to Mom's place and showered her with attention.

    As our argument continued, several people in the cafe began shifting their attention to us.I walked out of the cafe.Jessica reluctantly paid the bill and hurried after me. "Hunter, I know I handled things badly before. I just thought that since we were going to spend our whole lives together, we had to be more careful with money."My parents are getting old, and you have your mom to support too. Once we're together, we'll probably have children."Jobs aren't easy to hold down these days. What if we both lose our jobs someday? I was saving because I was thinking about our future."I couldn't be bothered to respond.What she said sounded reasonable, but the only people expected to make sacrifices were me and my family.Her junior and her parents had never received that kind of treatment.Although I ignored Jessica, she followed me around every day.She followed me to work and followed me home.She kept explaining herself, but I'd long since lost the energy to argue with her.

    Even if she didn't know what Henry had said to me, the things she'd done to hurt me before were, in her eyes, nothing more than trivial matters.Thinking about it now, that made sense.I was only a replacement, someone she didn't love.Of course it was merely a trivial matter.I didn't care anymore. None of it had anything to do with me now.I had moved into a completely new work environment.I was no longer working under Jessica.Over the years, I'd accomplished quite a lot.Now, I could finally stand on my own.After getting used to my new role, I immediately reached out to my former subordinates. Once they agreed, I submitted their transfer requests to headquarters.Some of them stayed in their original positions because of their families, but quite a few followed me to Astarville City.What I never expected was for Jessica to follow me to Astarville City too."Why did she come here?""No idea. I heard she took leave to come."Jessica approached me with dark circles un

    Jessica arrived at the restaurant a full hour late.She scrolled through her chat history with me and realized that I hadn't replied to her messages for quite some time. That made her uneasy.After thinking it over, she decided that these were all trivial matters. Besides, she'd already explained everything.I was just throwing a little tantrum. It wouldn't be a big deal.With this in mind, Jessica felt much more at ease. She pushed open the door to the private room.Seeing all the familiar faces inside made her feel even more relieved."Sorry, everyone. Something came up, so I'm late."Jessica noticed that everyone was looking at her strangely, and that made her feel a little awkward.She looked around and searched for me.She searched once, then again, but still couldn't find me anywhere. "Where's Hunter?""He left."Jessica froze. "I promised to treat you all to dinner. Where did he go? He didn't even send me a message."My friends replied coldly."He left the city. He

    "I didn't forget that I promised to treat your friends to dinner tomorrow. I've already made a reservation. Just go there and ask for the room directly."She sent me the restaurant's address. It was an expensive place.The next day, all my friends gathered in the private room.They looked around in disbelief. "No way. Jessica is so stingy. Did she really agree to treat us to a meal here? This place must cost at least fifty bucks per person."I smiled and told them some good news. "She's not paying. I am. I received a transfer order from headquarters. I'm going to be the general manager in Astarville City."My friends were thrilled. "Congratulations! Doesn't that mean you'll be on the same level as Jessica now? But you'll have to be in different cities. Have you told Jessica yet?"I shook my head and was about to speak when my phone rang.The screen displayed a single name.[Jessica.]When I answered, the voice on the other end belonged to Henry."Don't wait for her. She's not
