Remember Me Never のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

As soon as I finished speaking, Whitney Lovell's assistant, Jude Horton, spoke up first."Neil, how can you quit over something so minor? You've been with the company for years, and Ms. Lovell has always treated you so well. What will everyone think of her if you walk out now?"Ms. Lovell, please talk him out of it!"Whitney might have been planning to stop me, but Jude's words only made her angrier."Why should I talk him out of it? If he wants to leave, let him! I've done nothing wrong, and I don't care what anyone has to say about me."She snatched the resignation letter from me, signed it, and threw it right at my face.Our coworkers gathered around to watch, waiting to see how I would react.But I didn't argue with Whitney this time. I simply bent down and calmly picked up the letter."I'll leave once I've handed over my work," I said."Don't bother with a handover. If you're leaving, get out now."Whitney pointed toward the door. Then she seemed to remember something an

Dylan called back almost at once, sounding thrilled. "Are you serious?"Then he hesitated. "What about Whitney?"Dylan and Whitney had started their businesses around the same time.Unlike Whitney, who had started with nothing, Dylan had plenty of resources to work with and could offer much better pay and benefits.His company was in desperate need of skilled technical staff, so he had offered me a larger share of the company and a cut of its profits if I joined them.Even after learning about my relationship with Whitney, he had made an exception and offered to let me work part-time.But I had turned him down without hesitation for Whitney's sake.Back then, when I had hit rock bottom, I had nearly frozen to death in the snow. Whitney had found me and dragged me into a police station, saving my life.I had been deeply grateful to her, so I had given up everything else and devoted myself to building her company. I had done everything I could to help it grow.But now, it seemed

Whitney stood frozen, completely stunned. "Are you disgusted by me?""I have somewhere to be later. I'm going to change first," I said flatly, then turned to head back to my bedroom.Whitney tried to follow me, but I shut the door and locked it without hesitation."Fine! Neil, don't come crying to me later!"Whitney seemed genuinely angry. After making her threat, she kicked the door hard and stormed off.When I came out of the bedroom, the living room was empty.Whitney sent a message in the company group chat, saying she wanted to treat everyone to dinner and asking who wanted to come.No one responded.Only Jude replied, with a string of happy emojis.I knew Whitney was doing it on purpose just to tick me off.This had happened many times before. Every time, the other coworkers stayed out of it, while Jude was always eager to join.In the past, I would have gotten jealous and followed them, only to be mocked by the two of them.This time, I couldn't be bothered.After c

When Whitney saw what I handed her, she raised an eyebrow and sounded even more pleased with herself."What is this? A written promise? Let me make one thing clear. It's too late to apologize now. I'm still very upset with you about what happened this afternoon."Don't think I'll forgive you just because of some little trick."I found her smug attitude amusing.She wasn't wrong. Back when I often upset her and she refused to forgive me, I had written her a promise by hand to win her over.Looking back, she had certainly been at fault. But I had also been the one to give up my own dignity and let her treat me that way.Thankfully, that would never happen again."It's not a written promise. It's a surprise," I said calmly.When Whitney heard that, she raised an eyebrow. She was curious and was just about to open the document when her phone rang.Her eyes lit up when she saw who was calling."Hold on. I need to take this call."After saying that, Whitney answered."Ms. Lovell,

Whitney's smile faded. She stared at me in disbelief."What did you just say?""Didn't you want to break up? I agree," I replied calmly.I had thought she'd be glad if I agreed to end our relationship. But to my surprise, she didn't sound relieved at all. She sounded shocked and angry."Neil, have you lost your mind? You're breaking up with me over one small matter?" She stared at me with wide eyes.I didn't understand. Wasn't this what she wanted?Now that I had agreed, why was she reacting this way?Jude seemed confused, too. He gently tugged at Whitney's sleeve. "Ms. Lovell, Neil brought up the breakup. Why don't you—"Before he could finish, Whitney snapped, "Shut up! This is between us. It's none of your damn business!"It was probably the first time she had ever spoken so harshly to Jude.Jude froze in shock. His mouth fell open, but no words came out.Whitney seemed to come to her senses, too. She quickly softened her tone and spoke quietly to him. "I'm sorry. I did
