After hearing my grievances, Jack momentarily looked surprised, and then his expression returned to neutral.
His look was no longer cold, but it didn't matter—he remained indifferent.
We sat in silence until his phone buzzed.
He glanced at it, sighed, and then turned to me.
"Ginny, I'll sort out the necklace for you."
"But let's skip the drama, okay? You know how slammed I am."
I've known Jack Yoxall since we were children.
Given the closeness of our families, I followed him around every day as a child, and everyone knew about my crush on him.
Eventually, our relationship progressed to dating and then engagement, and we became the model couple in our social circle.
But a year ago, when he launched a new project, everything changed.
His work life became more demanding, and he hired a new secretary.
Initially, she didn't catch my attention—her appearance was unremarkable, easily lost in a crowd.
However, I gradually realized my error.
This seemingly ordinary person had somehow caught Jack's special attention.
He started to scold me for preferring steaks, calling it an extravagant and wasteful habit.
