When I came out of surgery, they were already gone.Kayley sent me a photo. In it, she was sitting in the passenger seat of George's car, eating snacks. Potato chip crumbs were scattered everywhere.She even had a caption. "The corridor is freezing. We'll be waiting for you in the car."I never knew that George, with his severe OCD, could tolerate this level of mess. After all, he had never been able to stand me eating even a single piece of bread in his car.I chuckled softly and liked her picture.Then I called the wedding planner, "Cancel the wedding."A hint of regret could be heard in her voice. "You've been planning the wedding for almost two years. Why?"I looked at the intimate couple in the photo and gave a bitter smile. "Because I don't want to get married anymore."With the cancellation, my obsession with marrying George vanished as well.I did not get in the car and hailed a taxi home instead.When George came home in the middle of the night, his tone was clearly

The next day, I went to George's office with my resignation letter, just as promised.My colleagues gathered at the door and gave me strange looks. George sat in his office chair. His face was terribly grim.Just as I was wondering what was going on, Kayley grabbed me and said exasperatedly, "We were besties. How could you betray the company just to oust me? If you told me you stole the company secrets, I wouldn't have called the police."I shook her hands off. "What are you talking about? When did I steal anything?"The next second, George slammed his fist on the table and shot up from his seat. "Still trying to deny it? Who else could it be but you? You just couldn't stand Kayley taking your place. That's why her project is gone overnight!"I froze. Anger instantly overshadowed my reason. "So what if I stole it? That's my project!"George seemed to take my words as an admission of guilt. His gaze turned even more mocking. Then he ordered coldly, "Search her."Before I could ev

George's mind went blank when he realized Emilia had blocked him. "No way…"He refused to believe it and called her several more times. But every call failed.He sent a text on WhatsApp. "It was just a misunderstanding. Did you really have to block me? Can't we talk things out?"He tapped send. Only one tick appeared. "Emilia…" Kayley could barely hide the smile tugging at her lips, though she tried her best to stay calm. "Seems like Emilia's really mad. I'll go to your place and apologize to her tonight. She's nice. She'll definitely forgive me."George was not listening to her at all. His mind was in turmoil because Emilia had never blocked him before, nor would she ignore him for long.After getting off work that evening, Kayley got in the car with him. "I'll apologize to Emilia. She'll forgive us. But I really can't lose this job."George became even more irritated. His voice was cold. "I've made up my mind. No one can change it. You went too far."He vented all his anger

George squinted at me. Clearly, he had not expected me to say that. "Emilia, must you be so cruel over just a small issue? Is it just because I made you pay 800,000?"Then he whipped out his phone and transferred me one million and asked, "Is that enough?"I slapped his face the next second. The air went so still that I could hear my heartbeat.George pressed his tongue against his cheek. He showed no signs of anger. "Or is it something else? Just tell me. I can explain. Then we'll move on." His tone was nonchalant, as if this could be resolved within the day like all our previous arguments.But now, that would never happen again.I forced a bitter smile. "There's too much evidence proving that your heart has changed. I don't want to talk about it anymore because it's pointless now.""I haven't!" George denied it outright. "Emilia, what makes you think I've changed my mind? I've been so serious about you. Can't you feel it?"I laughed out loud, then scrolled through some of Kayl
