Mag-log inWhile Amy watched, Friedrich resolutely deleted the number with an expressionless face, even though he knew the sequence by heart.But this small gesture was not enough to fool Amy. She had watched his face when he saw the caller, and the way he briskly walked away to answer the call immediately. Such treatment and emotional reaction could not come from someone he had already forgotten.She looked at Friedrich and asked, “Tell me the truth, who is she to you?”Friedrich’s face darkened, and he retorted angrily, “I already told you she is my ex-girlfriend. She traveled out of the country years ago without telling me. We stopped communicating, and I didn’t even know I still had her number saved in my phone. If you don’t want to believe me, then so be it. I am not going to explain myself to you more than this.”Then he walked away angrily.Amy’s face fell. She looked at the folded clothes on the bed and then at the boxes she was supposed to pack them into.A dull pain made her eyes glist
As his hand reached for the door, he suddenly felt empty, and his chest tightened. He turned around and looked at Amy, whose eyelids were drooped, as she sat quietly.The fear of losing Amy made him open his mouth. He said to her, “I am going to take you to see my family. We are going to the countryside to celebrate Christmas.”Then he opened the door and left. He did not wait for any response from Amy; he was afraid she would refuse.Amy raised her head, her eyes filled with shock. She did not expect Friedrich to suddenly make such a proposal. She remembered how she had always pleaded with him to at least introduce her to his family, yet even after they had been in a relationship for years, he had never taken her to meet them.Amy’s ringing phone pulled her out of her thoughts.She reached for her phone and picked it up. Answering the call, she said softly, “I am sorry, I will not be showing up tonight.”Then she hung up and put her phone away.She made up her mind to refuse to go to
Amy stared, dumbstruck. She remembered Friedrich leaving her side looking happy and in a very good mood, so how had he suddenly re-emerged from the bathroom looking like someone who had eaten gunpowder?“Why?” she blurted out, but Friedrich had already turned away and was gingerly heading toward the door.Although reluctant, she followed helplessly behind him. When they came out of the cinema, she had to run to catch up with Friedrich, whose footsteps seemed brisk. He was clearly unwilling to wait for her. Amy ran up to him, pulled at his arm, and asked with concern, “What’s wrong? Why do you suddenly seem so angry?”Friedrich retorted coldly, “If you don’t want to come with me, you can stay behind. I’m not forcing you to leave the cinema. You can go back in there and continue watching the movie if you want to.”Amy looked at him, dumbfounded. She hadn’t expected him to say such hurtful words to her. Before she could recover from her shock, Friedrich had already gotten into the car an
Although Amy didn’t want to go, she struggled against her reluctance and eventually showed up at Friedrich’s house, only to find him whipping up dinner in the kitchen.She stared at him dumbfounded, standing blankly in the kitchen doorway.Wrapped in a yellow apron and wearing a chef’s hat, he turned and saw Amy standing just a few metres away. He flashed her a cute smile, his dimples deepening as he asked with a grin, “Babe, go and rest. I’m almost done with dinner. I prepared it for both of us.”Amy blinked in confusion. What she was witnessing was the complete opposite of what she had imagined. She had thought she would find Friedrich busy handling official documents, attending an office meeting, or worse, playing games.This warmth had never been part of her imagination.Friedrich quickly served dinner, placing the dishes on the dining table. He looked at Amy and grinned. “Babe, this is from my heart. It may not taste that great, but this is my own way of expressing my love.”The
Amy watched in shock as Friedrich rose to his feet. She blinked in disbelief and asked, her voice filled with shock, “You are walking away?”Friedrich gave her a long look before replying, “You seem to have a lot of time, but I don’t. I am managing one of the biggest companies in the country, a future conglomerate. You don’t expect me to do the things you do.”Amy blinked, because she could still remember that when Friedrich was wooing her, he would always show up whenever she needed him. Even when she called, he made himself so available that she sometimes wondered if he even had a job. She shook her head. Even a month ago, Friedrich was always planning their dates, dropping her off at work, and driving her home. He made sure to send her lunch and texted her every now and then.Amy looked at Friedrich in disbelief. When had he become so busy? It was just a week ago, yet now he couldn’t even spare a minute for her.She watched with pursed lips as Friedrich got up and walked out of the
Amy smiled throughout the day, even at work. Everyone noticed that her usual sullen expression had been replaced with a bright, radiant smile that even caught her department supervisor’s attention.Nodding, the supervisor said to Amy, “Miss Amy, you look as though you’ve won the lottery. Don’t forget to share a little with us.”Amy knew he was teasing her, so she merely smiled while her colleagues laughed. She lowered her head and continued working, though she kept glancing impatiently at her wristwatch, waiting for it to be time to clock out so she could go and be with Friedrich.She grumbled in frustration as time seemed to creep by far too slowly. The moment she clocked out for the day, she hurried out of the office, got into her car, and drove to Friedrich’s company.She pressed the brake, stepped out of the car, and strode toward the elevator. When she arrived at Friedrich’s office, his secretary said to her, “Miss, did you book an appointment with my boss?”Amy’s face fell in co

Mr. Jax nodded, then admitted, “I was wrong not to look after your businesses. I’ll make it up to you. I’ll go around your bars and clubhouses, speak to the accountants, and—”Kelly’s face darkened. That hadn’t been why he’d kept quiet earlier—so his father could start poking through his affairs. I
