He loved drinking and socializing, enjoying everything I had prepared for him in his life, but there was always another presence in his life—Emily.
There was an empty position in his group.
At that time, my company was in a slump, and I told him I wanted to try for it. He outright rejected me, saying the position wasn’t suitable for me because of my low qualifications and that I wouldn’t get through the interview. But soon, he gave that position to Emily.
I had a big fight with him then. He said, "Isn't my support enough for you? Emily is an independent woman; she needs this job more."
See, that’s the charm of Emily.
I could never compete with her in anything.
Afterward, she came to me and said, “John told me your skills aren’t suitable for this job. This job was always meant for me. You’re so lucky. I really envy you. You can spend John’s money. I’m different. I have to earn everything by myself. It’s exhausting.”
I remember John looking at her with admiration that day and saying, "I want to take care of you too, but you're too independent."
Thinking of this, I deleted Emily from my contacts.
