“What, feeling sorry for the woman you love now?”
Ethan exhaled, as if resigning himself.
“Sophia, I’ve told you so many times—Olivia is just an employee.”
“A completely ordinary employee. You don’t have to make such a big deal out of it.”
He took a step forward and gently held my hand.
“Stop this. Let’s go home.”
After more than ten years together, I had grown used to Ethan always being there.
I had always thought that we were bound to each other,
that neither of us could live without the other.
But now, when I looked up into his deep eyes,
there was no tender smile anymore—
only faint displeasure hidden behind his furrowed brows.
I let out a short laugh.
Then I slapped him across the face.
“Enough. I’m disgusted by this act.”
Ethan kept his word—
Olivia was expelled from the racing team,
and his assistant was replaced by a man.
But I could still smell an unfamiliar perfume on Ethan’s clothes.
New cute trinkets and plush toys kept appearing in his car.
Even when Olivia wasn’t in sight,
I could still feel her presence everywhere.
I ripped the trinkets down and threw them in front of Ethan.
“This is how you ‘handled’ it?”
Ethan chuckled softly, crushing out his cigarette without even looking at me.
