Just as I was about to take the form back, the man suddenly reached out and pressed my wrist, with a thoughtful tone: " Lena , are you here just for this?" I nodded gently, and Zachary 's face instantly became gloomy. In less than two seconds, he let me go as if he had been electrocuted, perhaps because he felt a little unhappy when he touched the blisters on my hand left by boiling sugar.

At this time, Luna seemed to have discovered something interesting, and she smiled at me: " Sister Lena , the red rope on your wrist looks so familiar. Oh, I remember that I saw an identical one in the trash can of my house a few days ago." I pretended not to see Zachary 's action of covering his wrist, and responded lightly: "This kind of red rope is very common. If you like it, I can give it to you." However, Luna did not accept it.

After leaving the box, I immediately found the trash can and threw away the red rope that had been with me for seven years. While waiting for the elevator, I received a call from my mother. She asked me with concern whether I had booked my ticket home. I replied, "I will book it in a few days." As soon as I finished speaking, Zachary's puzzled voice came from behind me: "What do you want to book?" I hung up the phone and lied calmly, "There is a restaurant that is very popular and needs to be booked in advance." Zachary didn't say anything more after hearing this. He just took me to a nearby hotel to book a suite, and then turned on the computer to deal with urgent business.

We worked tacitly until the early morning, waiting for feedback from overseas customers. While waiting, I couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell asleep. When I woke up the next day, I found myself lying in bed, and Zachary was leaning against the head of the bed reading the Financial Daily. Seeing that I woke up, he immediately asked the waiter to bring breakfast.

Halfway through breakfast, Zachary suddenly asked me why I changed my mobile phone password. I replied lightly, "I changed it if I wanted to." The original password was a combination of our birthdays, but since we had decided to separate, it was naturally impossible to use it forever. Zachary put down his knife and fork and suggested, " Lena , didn't you always ask me to go to the movies with you? There is a movie theater nearby." As the boss, he took the lead in skipping work, so I naturally had no right to refuse.

In the quiet and deserted movie theater, my boyfriend and I snuggled up to each other, holding popcorn and watching a comedy. This was a sweet scene I had longed for, but at this moment, I felt uninterested and yawned. Zachary noticed that I was absent-minded, frowned and asked, "You picked this movie, what? Don't you like it?" I perfunctorily replied, "No, it's pretty good." He pursed his thin lips and seemed to have something to say, but at this time his mobile phone received a message. He didn't even say hello and walked out directly. Zachary didn't come back until the movie was over.

Just as I was about to call him, I heard a familiar sweet female voice from not far away: " Zachary , you are so amazing!" I turned my head and saw Luna excitedly holding a huge doll and jumping on Zachary and kissing his cheek. Zachary held Luna 's thigh, and the smile in his eyes disappeared instantly after seeing me.

" Sister Lena , you are here too." Luna looked at me with surprise. After a few seconds, she screamed shyly and stepped back from Zachary , covering her face. "Sister Lena , don't get me wrong, it's all because I was too excited just now, so..." Zachary gently scratched Luna 's nose and said to her in a doting tone: "What's there to apologize for." Then he looked at me and asked casually: "The movie is over so soon?"

Before I could answer, a shrill fire alarm suddenly sounded in the mall. The crowd fled in panic. Before I could react, Zachary had already taken Luna 's hand and ran to the emergency exit with her. Five minutes later, the alarm that was triggered by human error was lifted. Zachary returned to the original place and looked around, but he couldn't find me.

Two hours later, I completed the resignation procedures and appeared at the train station dragging my suitcase. While waiting for the train, my mobile phone kept ringing inexplicably, and the caller ID was Zachary . I was too lazy to answer it, so I simply set it to silent. The moment before boarding the train, I sent a message to Zachary : "Let's break up." After sending the message, I pulled out the phone card and threw it into the trash can.

It was close to midnight when I arrived at the station in my hometown. As soon as I walked out of the ticket gate, I saw my father who had been waiting for a long time. After getting in my father's car, I saw a big bag of my favorite snacks and yogurt on the co-pilot. Before driving, my father happily put a straw in the yogurt and put it in my hand. Looking at my father's graying temples, I finally couldn't help crying out loud: "Dad, I will never leave after I come back this time. I want to stay with you and mom for the rest of my life." My father responded cheerfully: "Silly girl, whether you stay with me and your mom or not, you are our most precious Lena ." He saw that I was in a bad mood, but I didn't take the initiative to talk, so he didn't ask anything.

After returning home, I took a shower and ate the home-cooked meals made by my parents. I lay down on the bed at 10 o'clock in the evening and opened the music software. When I was about to listen to some soothing music to help me sleep, I unexpectedly saw several private messages. The person who sent the private message was the female colleague who had the best relationship with me in the company. She was surprised by my sudden resignation and asked me sincerely if something happened? Is there anything she can help?

Just as I was thinking about how to reply, a female colleague sent me a video. She said, " Lena , this video of Zachary and Luna has gone viral in the work group..." I hesitated for a moment and finally clicked on the video.

The video screen was obviously captured from the surveillance video of the company's conference room. There were only three people in the conference room: Zachary , Luna and the HR manager. Although the surveillance video did not record any sound, I recognized the piece of paper Zachary was holding in his hand - it was the resignation application form I had just submitted this afternoon. At the beginning of the video, the male manager of the HR department was so nervous and frightened that he seemed to be crying, and he kept bowing to explain something. However, Zachary kept looking down at the resignation application in his hand, without even looking at him.

After three minutes and forty seconds, Zachary, who was still sitting in the same position, waved his hand casually, and the HR manager bent down and left as if he had been pardoned. Luna, who had been standing behind the man with an ugly expression , forced out a sweet smile. Just as she was about to touch Zachary 's shoulder, she was frightened by his sudden swing of his arm and the action of sweeping the hot coffee beside him to the ground, and she took several steps back. The coffee splashed on her face and clothes, but the man stood up and paced back and forth with a smile on his face. It was not until his phone seemed to have received some message that he stopped and quickly picked it up to check it out in surprise.

The message must be very long, otherwise the man would not stand there motionless for several minutes. Seeing the man put down the phone with a cold expression, Luna hugged the man's waist from behind and was about to speak, but was frightened by the man's furious action of suddenly throwing the phone at the electronic screen in the middle of the conference room, and sprained her ankle and fell . The electronic screen was smashed into pieces, and Luna sobbed with a pale face. Zachary turned and walked towards...

The video stopped abruptly at this point. In fact, I didn't need to watch any more to know that Zachary would definitely help Luna up, then apologize to her softly, and pamper her and obey her even more out of guilt.

After exiting the video interface, I sent a blessing message to my female colleague. Although we can't work side by side together in the future, I still hope that she can get promoted step by step and have a bright future.

On the fourth day after returning home, with the care and love of my parents, I went to meet up with two of my best friends from high school. The two of them kept asking me which beauty salon I had my injections at. After a while of banter, my phone rang, and the caller ID showed an unfamiliar number. Thinking that it was only two days since I changed my number, it was probably a boring sales call, so I turned off the screen without paying attention.

However , not long after I got home that evening, the doorbell rang. I thought it was the takeaway milk tea that was delivered, and I opened the door without thinking: "It's really delivered..." However, when I saw that the person standing outside the door was Zachary , the smile on my face instantly disappeared.

I don't know how he found out where my parents live, I just know that I never want to see him again. After noticing that I wanted to close the door immediately, Zachary 's eyes darkened. He risked his fingers being pinched and stretched out his hand without hesitation to block the crack of the door. He asked me hoarsely, " Lena , why didn't you answer my call?" At this moment, although my mind was a little confused, my verbal expression ability was not affected. Zachary heard me say word by word, "We have broken up. Please leave immediately."

After hearing the word "break up", Zachary seemed to have heard a big joke. He sneered and tightened his grip on the door: "Break up? When did we break up? How come I didn't know?"
