The moment I heard that, my first reaction was that the text message might not have been delivered. But after a little thought, I denied this possibility. Moreover, even if the text message really failed to be delivered, after Zachary learned about my resignation, with his intelligence, how could he not understand the meaning behind it? Since everything was so clear, why did he still shamelessly come to my door?

I didn't ask the question in my heart, but just stared at the uninvited visitor outside the door with indifference, suppressed my displeasure, and said coldly: " If you really don't understand, then I will tell you in person now, Zachary , I want to break up with you. Did you hear clearly? If you have hearing problems, I don't mind repeating it again."

"No matter how many times you repeat it, my answer will not change." He gritted his teeth secretly, staring at me with a sullen face, "Lena, I don't agree to break up. I didn't do anything wrong. Why do you say we should break up just like that?"

Hearing this, I looked at him in shock. I never thought that a person could be so shameless.

At this moment, my father's curious voice came from the kitchen not far away:

"Lena , who are you talking to standing at the door?"

" Dad, I'm not talking to anyone. The milk tea I ordered has been delivered. By the way, I suddenly remembered that I didn't pick up a package. I'll go downstairs now."

As I said that, I pushed Zachary away from the door mercilessly, walked out of the house expressionlessly, got on the elevator, and said to him coldly:

"Don't disturb my parents. Let's talk outside if you have anything to say."

Ten minutes later, we sat down face to face in a corner of a Western-style restaurant near my home. He spoke first:

"You cut your hair."

Seeing that I remained silent, this usually cold and taciturn man actually praised me for the first time in a flattering way:

"The new hairstyle looks good, it suits you very well."

Zachary has always liked women with long flowing hair. In order to cater to his aesthetic taste, I, who am naturally afraid of heat, kept my waist-length black hair for seven years. However, in these seven years, he never fulfilled his promise to braid my favorite long braids for me.

At this time, the waiter brought the menu. Before I could say anything, he ordered dinner for two and said to me:

"Lena, you've lost weight. Eat something first, and then when we get home tomorrow, I'll take you to a really good restaurant."

I was really amused by him when I heard this:

"What home are you going back to? Zachary , have you forgotten that we are just in a relationship and not married at all?" He smiled as if he saw through everything:

"Lena, we've been together for seven years. If you want to get married, you can just tell me directly. Would I disagree? There's no need for you to waste each other's time by going through all this."

I pinched my cold brows, turned on my phone, pulled out the employment contract for the rival company, and clearly placed it on the desk for him to review.

As expected, he turned pale with a single glance. Zachary hated betrayal the most in his life, whether it was at work or in his personal life, he could be unfaithful once and never again.

I folded my arms and said calmly:

"Zachary, I know you have a strong sense of self-esteem. Even if you have no feelings for me, it would be hard for you to accept the word 'break up' coming out of my mouth. In this case, I will give you the opportunity to break up with me now, and no matter who asks me in the future, I will say that you dumped me. Are you satisfied with this?"
