“You better go and beg Camilla now, so maybe she will give you a small clerk position. We think it’s better than nothing."

If today wasn’t New Year’s Eve, I would definitely not return to that dilapidated home. But no matter how unwilling I was, I still had to face it in the future, so it was that time or never.

However, what I didn’t expect was that Mike was there too.

Camilla brought Mike to their seat, while I sat on the sofa, entertaining them with a fake smile.

They seemed to be a perfect match, a handsome man and a beautiful woman, but not the good people I had ever known.

You should know that Mike and I had been together for five years, but he still didn't want to meet my parents and said that it was too early to know each family. 

At that time, I gladly agreed, since we were still young. But then, I started to regret my stupidity, because it wasn’t like he didn’t want to but was just reluctant to go.

The proof was in front of me at that moment. After being together with Camilla for only a few days, he was willing to come and even looked so happy with it. It was really unbelievable.

Camilla's mother smiled from ear to ear as she introduced Mike to us.
