She Hated Wedding Planning, I Said Goodbye Chapter 12
Conrad's POV:Another year passed, and my career skyrocketed. I was now the vice president of the company, and my annual salary had doubled. I bought a house in Southdale. It was not very big and was only about 900 square feet, but I had decorated every corner of the house. I chose the color of the drapes, which were milky white, and the sofa was from a textile crafts company that I pushed against the wall.The house had an open kitchen and a wide balcony where I had four pots of flowers that bloomed beautifully. On the day that I moved, I sat on the floor of my new house and enjoyed some takeaway food. I could see the lights of Southdale from the window, and I stood up to go to the balcony. There was a comfortable night breeze that gently rustled the leaves of my Pothos.Downstairs, I could see some people walking their dogs. Some couples passed by holding hands, and there were several elderly people playing chess under the street lights. I leaned against the railings and was

Third-Person POV:The last time Gina met Conrad was at an industry summit in Southdale. She was giving a speech when she saw a familiar figure in the audience. He was skinnier, his hair was shorter, and he was wearing a simple white shirt. He was looking at his phone with his head lowered.Gina paused for a second before continuing her speech. When it was over, she quickly ran out and caught up with him in the corridor. "Conrad."He turned to look at her, but there was no change in his expression when he realized it was her. He was looking at her like she was an ordinary familiar face, and he said, "That was not a bad speech."Gina stood there with so much to say to him, but all she could say was, "How's life?""It's pretty good.""I know you've gotten promoted.""Yes, I have.""You moved to a new house too.""How did you know?""I've been paying attention to you."Conrad looked at her without saying anything, and she took something out of her pocket. It was a very old envel

Conrad's POV:Six months later, I was promoted. My company gave me a raise. I was making $60,000 annually and was leading a team. I also moved from my 300-square-foot apartment to a two-room apartment in the Mt. Sunders area. My place had a heater, a balcony, and sun shining in my house from morning to evening. I had two pots of Pothos planted on my balcony, which were flourishing. On the day I moved, a new colleague who was helping me asked, "Doesn't it feel lonely to be living alone, Conrad?"I told him it was not lonely at all. The best thing about living alone was that I would not be affected by anyone's emotions.Days passed, and I woke up at 7:00 am every morning and left the office at 10:00 pm every night. During weekends, I would occasionally jog around the area or stay home the entire day to read a book. My phone no longer had any traces of Gina, and I lived my life like a clean piece of white paper.I thought life would continue this way until I bumped into someone wh

Third-Person POV:It was 2:00 am when Gina returned to the hotel. She sat at the side of the bed and buried her face in her hands. She stayed that way for a long time until her phone suddenly lit up with a text from Mike. [When will you be back from your business trip, Gina? I'm down with a fever, and it feels horrible being alone at home.]Gina stared at the text for a long time.Conrad had once texted her a similar message. She had just started her business then, and Conrad would go everywhere with her to meet clients during the day, and at night, he would amend proposals until late at night.One winter, he finally could not take the long hours and came down with a high fever. Gina rushed home that night, and when she touched his burning forehead, her heart ached tremendously. Since then, she would call him every day to make sure he had eaten, no matter how busy she was.Now that Mike was having a fever, he had three housekeepers at home, and he could call Gina's number any ti

Conrad's POV:During my third month in Southdale, I brought in a huge contract for my new company. The client was one of the top three tech companies in the industry, and the contract was worth eight figures. When my boss announced the news, the entire company went wild.After the meeting, a colleague patted me on the back. "That was incredible, Conrad. You won the client in only two months."I smiled. I learned to present proposals to clients by doing it the hard way when I worked at Gina's company. Back then, I had to amend a proposal dozens of times, only to have the client pick on everything about it until midnight.While I was amending the proposal on my computer, she fell asleep by my side. When she woke up in the morning, the first thing she saw was me still editing the proposal. She rubbed her eyes and said, "You don't need to be so serious about it. It's just about good enough."Just about good enough.That was why when it came to relationships, Gina's attitude was also

Third-Person POV:Gina got her assistant to check all flight records and hotel reservations, and in the end, managed to find the name 'Conrad Sullivan' in the HR files of a small company in Southdale. Her assistant hesitated when she passed the file over to Gina."Ms. Winston, Mr. Sullivan is currently working at a startup as an operations director with a salary of $1,800."$1,800.When he was working at their own company, he had never taken a salary. All the money was debited into the company's account. Gina felt something caught in her throat when she saw the amount. "Where is he staying now?""In an old area called Bayler District. His house is about 300 square feet and costs $300 a month."$300. Gina was reminded of the ATM card she had given him, which ended up being cut in half. The two villas in Westbrook had been successfully transferred to his name, but he never stopped by any of them.She took the last flight of the day to Southdale, and she landed at 1:00 am. When G
