“I’m at work. I could get shot for fuck’s sake. Calm down.” Jared yelled at me over the phone.
But I could see him on the video responding to my call. If Sara could make him lie to me on my birthday. Then there was no point in sustaining a relationship that is not based on truth.
“Enjoy your luxury cruise but don’t even dare think of coming back home to me.”
“What makes you so bold to accuse me of such?” He demanded anger in his voice.
“It doesn’t matter, Mr. Social-Media-Couple-of-the-year. Enjoy your life with Sara. We’re through.”
With that, I ended the call and sat on my couch.
Shortly after, the livestream ended, Jared tried to call me but I put my phone on flight mode as I prepared to eat my ice cream cake all my myself with tears running down my face.
It was good that Jared got a taste of his own medicine. It was my time to be busy too.
Ashley’s POV
The next day, I was able to leave work a little earlier than usual.
At exactly 6:05, I stepped out of my office. As I did, I heard a car beep. I looked at the car park and recognized Jared's black sports car.
I kept walking, pulling the strap of my bag higher on my shoulders. The bus stop was just past the office and down the corner.
