Abandoned by my ex, I accept his boss proposal のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

Chapter Two: It had been two days since Mark shattered my world, and I still couldn’t wrap my mind around what had happened. I spent most of my days in silence, curled up on the couch or lost in thought. My emotions were a whirlwind—anger, sadness, confusion—all swirling around in a storm I couldn’t control. The world felt quieter without Mark in it, but it also felt emptier.Mia had stayed with me, keeping me company, letting me cry, letting me vent. But even her presence couldn’t ease the emptiness inside. The weight of the betrayal hung over me, and every time I closed my eyes, I saw Mark’s face, his words cutting deeper than I ever imagined they could.It wasn’t until the following afternoon that something pulled me from my fog of sadness. My phone buzzed on the coffee table, the screen lighting up with a message notification. I glanced at it absently, still reeling from the pain of the breakup, and then froze when I saw the name on the screen: Thomas.Thomas was my boss at Kensi

Chapter Four: The phone buzzed in my hand as I made my way down the steps of Vanguard Enterprises. I had just left Richard’s office, my heart still racing from the conversation we’d had. The excitement of the opportunity I was about to step into—my fresh start—was being overshadowed by an unsettling feeling. I didn’t know what to expect from this new chapter of my life, but I couldn’t let the past hold me back.Then my phone buzzed again.The name on the screen made my blood run cold.Mark.I stopped in my tracks, my heart thundering in my chest. Mark. He was the one who had broken things off between us. He was the one who left, who told me that it was over. Why was he contacting me now?I hesitated for a moment, standing there on the busy sidewalk, staring at the phone in my hand. I knew I shouldn’t answer, but somehow, I couldn’t bring myself to ignore him. After everything he’d put me through, he still had a way of making me feel like I owed him something. I swiped the screen and

Chapter 6Lilly's povNot sure who was at the door, I looked through the peephole, and my breath caught in my throat. Mark! What was he doing here? I thought to myself as I hesitated, my hand hovering over the doorknob. I wasn't sure if I should open the door for him. Was I ready to face him after everything that had happened between us?Mia, sitting quietly on the couch with her legs tucked under her, noticed my sudden change of mood. She glanced up, her eyebrows raised in curiosity. “Who is it, Lilly?” she asked softly, sensing something was wrong.“Umm... it’s Mark,” I whispered more to myself than to her.“Mark? What the heck is he doing here?” Her voice raised slightly, a mix of disbelief and anger. “What does he want?”“I don’t know,” I muttered, running a shaky hand through my hair.“Well, are you gonna get that or do you want me to give him a piece of me?” Mia said, standing up and heading toward the door, clearly irritated at the thought of him being here.“No, Mia, it’s fine

Chapter 8Lily's pov. After Mia left my house that night, I had taken a shower and fixed myself a sandwich with a glass of milk. I ate and went straight to bed. However, I was hot with excitement and fear. As much as I was thrilled to begin this new chapter, I knew it wasn't going to be easy—especially with Mark, my ex. I could feel that there was a certain storm coming.I tried to push the thoughts aside, but they kept resurfacing. I tossed and turned, trying to find comfort in the warmth of my duvet, but all fell abortive. Finally, I drifted off to sleep. The following day, I tried not to dwell on negative thoughts and instead focused on what lay ahead. I was glad when Sunday night came and went in a flash.I woke up on Monday morning in a positive mood and went straight to the shower. I had picked out my work clothes the previous night: a beautiful tailored white suit trouser with a black camisole inside, paired with black high heels and a handbag. I put on light makeup and tied m

Chapter 11I haven't set my eyes on Mark since our last encounter almost a month ago. I have been extremely busy with Mr. Richard, working on a particular project that needed our attention. The project, thankfully, will be ending today, being Friday. I haven't even had time to meet up with Mia. I was so engrossed in my work that I didn’t even notice it was time for lunch.“Lilly, I’m stepping out for lunch. Why don’t you come along with me?” Mr. Richard said.“Umm, I think I’ll pass, sir. I need to finish up with this project before 4 pm, sir. Remember, they are going out for delivery today,” I replied, trying to keep my focus on the work in front of me.“Alright, Lilly. I’ll leave you to it,” he said before walking out of the office.An hour passed, and I was still in Mr. Richard’s office, working on the final touches of the project. I was at the last stage when he walked back in, his footsteps light but deliberate.“This is absolutely brilliant, Lilly,” he said, his voice warm and
