No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Conrad didn't say a word but gave a mocking nod after a long pause. "If you want to make a scene, be my guest."

Even then, he didn't think he was in the wrong, still believing it was all my fault.

I was too tired to argue with him any longer. I said, "I'm moving out of your place."

"Your place?" Conrad's sharp eyes narrowed. "Felicia, you have never truly thought of it as your home, have you? What a waste of my parents' affection for you."

I bit my lip. Didn't Conrad understand that it wasn't his parents' affection I wanted, but his? I had decided to break things off with him, so there was no point in saying anything more.

"Mr. Wagner, I've got things to do," I said, leaving out the part about quitting because I intended to finish this job.

"Felicia, are you breaking up with me?" Conrad asked again.

It seemed he hadn't been listening earlier. Looking at him, whom I had adored for ten years, I left him with words that severed all ties, "Yes, Conrad, I'm breaking up with you. From now on, we go our separate ways, no strings attached."

Conrad let out a bitter, broken laugh. "Fine, Felicia. These are your words. Don't come to regret them later."

Regret? Conrad had said that again. What made him think I would regret it? Perhaps it was from my foolish devotion over the past ten years, following him around like a lovesick puppy, enduring his coldness and hurt, yet remaining loyal.

"Goodbye!" I said, turning around to leave.

Conrad didn't try to stop me. As I reached the door, I heard a knock. Opening it, I froze. It was Haley.

After seeing me, a flash of panic crossed her eyes, but her face was all smiles, looking as if we were old friends. "Felicia, you're back!"

I didn't respond, my gaze fixed on

the documents in her hand, bearing

the red logo. of Wagner Group. Those were internal documents, accessible only to company insiders, yet Haley was holding them. Her presence was surprising enough, let alone with company documents.

I didn't react to her. Haley's face flickered with embarrassment. "I'm here to deliver some documents to... Mr. Wagner."

That "Mr. Wagner" made everything clear to me. It wasn't enough for Conrad to keep her hidden away. He had even brought her into the company.

Deborah hadn't told me about this. I

wondered if she had been too busy or had purposely kept it from me to spare my feelings. But it didn't matter, Whether Conrad had

el.ne

brought Haley into the company or even if they got married, it had

nothing to do with me anymore.

"Excuse me, I need to get going," I said.

I didn't mean to be rude to a

pregnant woman, but there's a

certain order to things, like lett

Haley stepped aside, and I walked past her.

As the door closed behind me, I heard Conrad's accusation, "Why didn't you tell me Felicia had been to Crystal Bay Villas?"

I didn't care to hear Haley's explanation. It was no longer my concern.

Back at the office, Deborah rushed over. "Felicia, you went to Mr. Wagner's office. What did you guys talk about? Did you break the ice?" "What do you think?" I replied.

Under my gaze, Deborah guiltily grabbed my arm. "I'm sorry, Felicia. I didn't mean to keep it from you. I was afraid it would upset you..." "And you were worried it would affect your work and get you in trouble, too, right?" I voiced her concerns.
