The Night I Let Go

It was 10:00 pm.

Zachary was in his bed, unable to sleep.

First, he thought about his skin-to-skin contact with Ellen. Then, he remembered how Anya's secretary, Sarah, had told him that half a year's worth of his salary would be deducted.noveldrama

He suddenly sat up in his bed and muttered with a frown, "Hold on... Is Anya out of her mind?"

At that moment, his phone rang as he received a message. He grabbed the device from the bedside cabinet and took a look at it. It was actually a message from Ellen.

"Don't sleep yet, babe. Get cleaned up and wait for me in bed!"

After reading the message, Zachary stopped feeling upset and was immediately in a great mood.

Although he had already taken a shower, he entered the bathroom for another one. Then, he changed the bedsheet and blanket. As for the bedsheet with Ellen's blood on it, he carefully folded it and kept it in a vacuumed bag.

After he was done tidying the room, he lay on the bed and excitedly waited for Ellen to ring the doorbell. However, after waiting for an hour, she still wasn't there.

In the end, he couldn't wait any longer and fell asleep without realizing it. When he woke up, it was already morning.

"Did she just bail on me?"

Upon waking up, he immediately grabbed his phone. However, he didn't receive any missed calls from her. There wasn't even a message!

Unwilling to give up, he sent her a message. However, he received an error instead!

"Did she... Did she block me?"

Zachary was stunned. He didn't even know what had happened when he was blocked by Ellen. After all, she just told him to wait for her the previous night. However, she blocked him after he had slept for a night.

In order to make sure that the doorbell wasn't malfunctioning, he purposely went to the door to press it. However, it was working perfectly and didn't show any signs of failure.

Zachary was in a bad mood the

whole day because of this incident. When his colleagues saw him looking upset, they thought he was frustrated about his salary being docked yesterday. So, they didn't take the initiative to talk to him that day.

Since he stepped into the building and started working, he looked at his phone at least 50 times. However, he was disappointed when Ellen didn't call him once or send him a single message.

When it was time to get off work, he had no choice but to accept the truth. Ellen had played him like a toy!

Suddenly, he remembered a quote he had read online previously, "The grass is always greener on the other side."

When he checked Ellen's Twitter page and saw the error message, he couldn't help cursing her.

"That damn bitch!"

...

Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and Zachary had already accepted that Ellen had tricked him.

So, he put all of his focus on his work. Since he had a great attitude at work and was doing his best, his manager, Charles Wright, even.

complimented him. Charles no

said that he would submit an

application for Zachary to become a full-time staff by the end of the

month.

One day, Zachary finished working an hour later than usual. When he walked out of the employee's elevator, he ran into Anya, who had just gotten off work as well. The elevator she was taking was only for the CEO.

Upon seeing her, he wanted to say hi. He also wanted to ask her why his salary was deducted.

However, she didn't spare him a glance at all. Instead, she just walked right past him.
