Things had settled down however the universe would drop a blow when one least expected it.
I was working that day, catching up on the many tasks that were delayed from when I was on leave, so
I had to work overtime to finish them.
When my phone rang, I caught Ronan's name flashing on the screen. Why is he calling me at this
moment?
When I found out about Leanne, Ronan had helped me a lot, so I was grateful for him.
I accepted the call, answering casually, “Hello?”
“What are you so busy with lately that you're so quiet? You didn't even call me once.”
Ronan's complaint came through the phone.
“What else? I'm busy with work. You know my company had a lot of problems recently, so naturally, I
have a lot to do.”
I let out a resigned sigh, feeling exhaustion engulfing me as I recalled being busy as a bee for the past
few days.
“How do you still have the mood to work? I guess you've already settled Leanne's issue with Michael?”
Hearing my answer, Ronan switched the topic from my work to Leanne.
I had almost forgotten about her. A knot formed in my chest when Ronan brought her up. I don't have
any friendly feelings for a woman who wants to ruin my relationship with Michael.
“Can you not bring her up? I don't want to hear her name right now. Moreover, she's not a threat to my
relationship with Michael. Michael doesn't even like her. Her feelings were one-sided.”
Anger stirred within me when memories of Leanne calling Michael multiple times and hounding him to
visit her surfaced. I've already tagged her as a shameless person in my mind.
“One-sided? I wonder if you'll still say that if you knew she's Michael's ex-girlfriend?” Ronan said.
“What? She's Michael's ex-girlfriend?”
My eyes were wide at Ronan's words. I was baffled by his news. Did he say Leanne is Michael's ex-
girlfriend? How can that be?
I have never heard of Michael having an ex-girlfriend or someone close to that. We had been together
for four years and I have never heard him bring up anything about his ex-girlfriend. So how does an ex-
girlfriend appear out of the blue from nowhere?
Things had settled down however the universe would drop a blow when one least expected it.
Things had sattlad down howavar tha univarsa would drop a blow whan ona laast axpactad it.
I was working that day, catching up on tha many tasks that wara dalayad from whan I was on laava, so
I had to work ovartima to finish tham.
Whan my phona rang, I caught Ronan's nama flashing on tha scraan. Why is ha calling ma at this
momant?
Whan I found out about Laanna, Ronan had halpad ma a lot, so I was grataful for him.
I accaptad tha call, answaring casually, “Hallo?”
“What ara you so busy with lataly that you'ra so quiat? You didn't avan call ma onca.”
Ronan's complaint cama through tha phona.
“What alsa? I'm busy with work. You know my company had a lot of problams racantly, so naturally, I

I lat out a rasignad sigh, faaling axhaustion angulfing ma as I racallad baing busy as a baa for tha past

“How do you still hava tha mood to work? I guass you'va alraady sattlad Laanna's issua with Michaal?”
Haaring my answar, Ronan switchad tha topic from my work to Laanna.
I had almost forgottan about har. A knot formad in my chast whan Ronan brought har up. I don't hava
any friandly faalings for a woman who wants to ruin my ralationship with Michaal.
“Can you not bring har up? I don't want to haar har nama right now. Moraovar, sha's not a thraat to my

“Ona-sidad? I wondar if you'll still say that if you knaw sha's Michaal's ax-girlfriand?” Ronan said.
“What? Sha's Michaal's ax-girlfriand?”
My ayas wara wida at Ronan's words. I was bafflad by his naws. Did ha say Laanna is Michaal's ax-
girlfriand? How can that ba?
I hava navar haard of Michaal having an ax-girlfriand or somaona closa to that. Wa had baan togathar
for four yaars and I hava navar haard him bring up anything about his ax-girlfriand. So how doas an ax-
girlfriand appaar out of tha blua from nowhara?
“You didn't know that? I thought you knew. Have I said too much?”
Hearing the surprise in my voice, Ronan fell silent.
“No, you told me something important.”
I immediately ended the call after that, cutting off anything Ronan wanted to add. I wanted time to think
and unscramble my thoughts from the shock of the news.
I never considered the possibility of Leanne being Michael's ex-girlfriend. If so, why did Michael go to
the hospital to take care of Leanne for two nights? What do they take me for?
I felt like a fool. All this time, I thought Leanne's feelings were one-sided. Most importantly, I never
expected her to be Michael's ex-girlfriend.
My thoughts were a tangled mess causing panic to rise in my chest.
When a couple breaks up, they should just detach themselves from the other's affairs and become
strangers. However, Michael still cared about Leanne. Otherwise, he wouldn't have stayed at the
hospital for two nights to care for her.
I feel like a fool. I had always thought I was Michael's only woman. Yet, he used to belong to Leanne,
and I was unaware of that. They had a history before.
I couldn't concentrate on my work for the rest of the afternoon. I knew I shouldn't have brought my
feelings into my work, but I couldn't control them. I had to admit I let my feelings get the best of me, but
that was because Michael was the person I cared about the most. He matters so much to me that
anything related to him can easily make me lose my composure.
When it was almost time to get off work, my phone rang again, and this time the caller was Michael. I
would've picked it up instantly before, but now, I was rather reluctant or even resisting it. I didn't know
what to say to him if I picked it up.
“Hello?”
After letting it ring for a long while, I finally connected the call. My mouth was dry when I spoke.
“It's almost time to get off work, and I'll be there to pick you up soon. Let's have a dinner date later with
just the two of us.”
Michael might not have caught the feelings in my voice because I could hear the delight in his tone.
“Okay, got it,” I muttered, not sharing his joy for the dinner date later.
Despite my lack of mood, I didn't reject his offer because I wanted to ask him about Leanne. I wanted
to know where Leanne stood in his heart.
Having lost my focus at work, I organized the documents on my desk, then left the office immediately.
Sitting in Michael's car, thoughts of Leanne being his ex-girlfriend flashed across my mind continuously.
“You don't look like you're in a good mood. Did something happen at work?”
Michael noticed something was troubling me. He cast me a worried glance as he asked.
“No. The company's internal issues were all solved.”
I ignored Michael after that, not elaborating on what had affected my mood. There was still some
resentment in me. I was furious that Michael had never told me about his past relationship with Leanne.
I had always thought they were just friends, so I had never considered her a threat to my relationship.
Michael shifted his focus back on the road ahead silently. I wondered if he noticed the anger simmering
within me.
“Did Leanne call you the past few days?”
After a short silence, I couldn't control my emotions any longer, blurting out the question.
“She did, but I didn't pick up.”
Michael was surprised by my question, but he answered it indifferently.
“I supposed she's someone important to you since you stayed at the hospital for two nights to take care
of her. So I didn't expect you to deny her calls.”
There was no joy upon hearing his answer. I looked at him again with my arms crossed over my chest.
“We have to bear responsibility for our past choices. I took care of her because she was my friend. Are
you suspecting there was something more between Leanne and me? But I've already explained
everything to you.”
