Episode 5 — "The Ex Who Came Back"

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAF4Su9SWN

Liam got exactly what he wanted.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUf9nRBYUz

Adrian stopped smiling at him.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWviRdan2tQ

Stopped teasing him.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3XR4L7ZbO

Stopped holding doors open for him.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcBwxksUqW

Stopped waiting for him after work.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7HFODqOS4

Stopped talking to him.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08DXGMf2Du

Completely.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrwtzWu0G0

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtlpL6tAxJ

---

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe502ilmIoK

Three days.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQDy1iv3Io

Three whole days.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Yq2zgBqk8

Not a single text.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQ3qwdAJQA

Not a single call.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYOxocAl0L

Not even a sarcastic remark.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspJQkiLVMT

Only professional emails.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbAnp7GGuN

> From: Adrian Cross

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiP0GzLVDnI

Subject: Marketing Proposal

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Kfvw4L4aP

Please revise slide 12.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqiRY1QdEI

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVykT788xa

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8mASdOhg5

That was it.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyC8a4GKzC

No Good morning.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbwUnbiwAN

No Mr. Hart.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2O4qFeDPFF

No annoying comments.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqpvQrmeMk

Nothing.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTyINgWhTo

Liam should've been happy.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJi6XxHPUO4

He asked for this.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIpjGbzXYr

So why did it feel...

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5lX9rgwMx

Lonely?

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpylTeUTgGx

Impossible.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaL8iRJLv7D

Ridiculous.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBR3tjvCu0Z

Absolutely ridiculous.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWc8jU2oDhl

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpOcXrtdgR

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHnxxj6qMG

Scarlett sighed.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLK5siTGau

"You miss him."

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYaLQ2qPlP

Liam nearly choked on his coffee.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ifSqsi5NZ

"I do not."

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAb4mrenW5M

"You do."

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh74DoDg3Dg

"No."

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zpwLS3Uzr

"Then why are you staring at the CEO's office?"

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCB3xpMmiX

Liam looked away immediately.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtOvv3gemK

"I was looking at the window."

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡen5XXkrC4Y

"On the 37th floor?"

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV6vDuyFb4z

"...Maybe."

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jQHLU1zaA

Scarlett smiled.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYr1XLJZ4K

"Hopeless."

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtl3AqqG6tQ

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PkqnLwTwd

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75lEYWBkLw

Meanwhile—

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5El9XrG3J

Inside Adrian's office.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgngrvClCWF

Nathaniel watched him work.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWg3169z5lq

Suspiciously.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqcdFVrPfZ

Very suspiciously.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3fXcBrkLR

"Sir."

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZT2FtGT6H

"Hm."

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9fSTseMAv

"You haven't insulted Liam in three days."

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD11WvXkmQ0

"I never insult him."

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMLNl9IqHC

"You called him dramatic."

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zvrhRKkjl

"He is."

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiaWVlKbTc

"You called him emotional."

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhE97tmdTdL

"He is."

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmSx0bhLFJ

"You called him a walking disaster."

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUefDpf5Kr6

"He kissed his CEO."

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaqN3fDcx3

Nathaniel nodded.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPpPmEd8HL

Fair.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIpjTdNxlg

Still—

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQz03ZnQr31

Adrian seemed different.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5wJIpFKc0

Quieter.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokVA5apxXY

Colder.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlhVMfpF90

More distant.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡom1Q0jDOXH

Exactly what Liam wanted.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjSOJ5Css9

Yet somehow...

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWcMPjQJMQ

No one seemed happy.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSmal8bcPm

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lnLDkIyYv

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmnuWueklZ

That afternoon—

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJg36xiFeQ

Liam returned home exhausted.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUih1OOUzs4

Only to find someone standing outside his apartment.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TNQ01YM2p

Tall.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8eKKBlGCu

Familiar.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEi3Nycppp

Holding flowers.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXwwLPYsW5w

Smiling nervously.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWpXXkxw9E

Liam froze.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75AMfHmqVj

His heart stopped.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMRflhW8Lp

No.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWkirOMXOJ

No way.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJsbC8X3kS

It couldn't be.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15wZsJ2vNE

The man looked up.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XsiqxNvtJ

Soft brown hair.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpxOYTJFgA

Warm eyes.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UgFLLHdVW

The same face Liam spent years trying to forget.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTuCyWAKsS

Nathan Cole.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVL8J8BNfhc

His ex-boyfriend.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDJBgGBh3u

The man who cheated.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZI4M98wnp

The man who left.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpU0XOkTGR

The man who got engaged.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaiRkOtjdW

Nathan smiled weakly.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1X6JGsmxpr

"Hi, Liam."

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEY3iGk8FBN

Silence.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8D9s58zbJ

Complete silence.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAxA9QgnUB

Liam stared.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnekunIQbO

"...What are you doing here?"

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIXUjCOJfJ

Nathan rubbed the back of his neck.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyHYfumnoSZ

"I wanted to see you."

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6myO4i1Y9Q

"Why?"

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2vCbn6Yfu

"My engagement ended."

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rEWfNIFrm

Liam blinked.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKeLlrsZKi

"Oh."

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz07bWKeOJ9

Nathan took a step closer.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZJzvJGyQq

"I made a mistake."

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfbgGuJOes

Liam didn't answer.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CE8CTjM5o

"I shouldn't have left."

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1p0zbqVL9

No answer.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbVWyVrrwd

"I miss you."

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaXmGbznzy

Still nothing.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSsi1zX90R

Nathan lowered his voice.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgayaAsfm8d

"I still love you."

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9UkvGa4t1

Liam looked down.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOytHD3CBRN

Three months ago—

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Cb1O3DVXX

Those words would've made him cry.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5Qfu4Y12v

Six months ago—

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFvc50Cs4K

He would've immediately forgiven him.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGPreExYVY

But now...

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3V0ScjsST7

He felt strangely calm.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRkglfSUFc

Strangely empty.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQWOFdYghA

Nathan smiled softly.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwP5EYXbheI

"Can we start over?"

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrH2BRVhgwC

Liam opened his mouth.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNJDJyNO86

Ready to answer.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5KkAEEaK5

Ready to say something.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNe43a2v6xw

Anything.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qDaRE8ouJ

Then—

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYoJDNXUn6

A black car stopped nearby.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfm0dJPx5Y

The window rolled down.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VWzJbcIXq

Adrian sat inside.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTBRHXhCGI

Expression unreadable.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyiCeoRUiv

Dark eyes fixed on Nathan.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2pUolpqlJ

Then on Liam.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYrlL3H6es

Neither moved.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK88LjOjzIz

Neither spoke.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5owIFN7gN

Adrian simply looked away.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41l48jVi3o

And told the driver,

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWXU0V82H4

"Let's go."

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3Po5Iiexm

The car drove off.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyS18lqxd5E

Just like that.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJIKiVYzdY

Without saying a word.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLcBvhmsYi

Without asking a question.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFivatr1RD

Without fighting for him.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLnIbvAddl

Liam watched the disappearing car.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMd1OtfKOJ

For some reason—

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOylVvQz8uy

His chest hurt.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEN53ySe3Jy

More than when Nathan cheated.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqaruBBZ2fM

More than when Nathan left.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9I7pIlNShg

And suddenly—

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22tTaXcRat

Liam realized something terrifying.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGYFDI5MKm

He had spent years missing his ex.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MTaTfO3TA

But the person he wanted to chase after...

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3nNK2wTZe

Was Adrian.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarSFRpofFU

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8ngFpMlAA

---

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPyrmeaXLx

Nathan smiled.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91XAPHaMMj

"So..."

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaa8BRzrXs

"Will you give me another chance?"

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokZpH62YAT

Liam remained silent.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1xytQ0bnH

Eyes still fixed on the road Adrian had taken.

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4s0tVdCkVa

Then quietly whispered,

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHSy3UQahK

"...I don't know."

55Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUD4Hy4aM4
