Episode 5 — "The Ex Who Came Back"

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRx5Gr0qOu4

Liam got exactly what he wanted.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWr1pahKQF4

Adrian stopped smiling at him.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPrK63h6Bn

Stopped teasing him.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFGEPNjQIx

Stopped holding doors open for him.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Vf44oB4gs

Stopped waiting for him after work.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOG5XHklkWl

Stopped talking to him.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpbkE6agcI

Completely.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBe0GlpK3jV

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzgWbL3J8u

---

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlpiDf6gh0

Three days.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCdcoFmYfT

Three whole days.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlB5zKSAyL4

Not a single text.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDzlBI0O3w

Not a single call.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNbxvMJAn8

Not even a sarcastic remark.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIAUCakMAp

Only professional emails.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NcC0ziz41

> From: Adrian Cross

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiWIMaBBo5

Subject: Marketing Proposal

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTwZldFw1A

Please revise slide 12.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCTRjakFR5c

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dzMm6xXx4

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnFnXR5lBo

That was it.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TlP3Ftux4

No Good morning.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9bbo9bPVK

No Mr. Hart.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEnvsL4KHD

No annoying comments.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyHTPz8IVp

Nothing.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0o4OQkOkbc

Liam should've been happy.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkOHRmZ775

He asked for this.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYTLmSDoGk

So why did it feel...

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcePgygL6oQ

Lonely?

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6FIp3ttJw

Impossible.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZd3rzOQNYs

Ridiculous.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡci4Kt8HtIt

Absolutely ridiculous.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcB79cptP0

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJe1YjUZ2tp

Scarlett sighed.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhtF42SUnz

"You miss him."

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PztTVlOdn

Liam nearly choked on his coffee.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndqbL5Fn05

"I do not."

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcSWm5xX5u

"You do."

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sZ3JQNEuu

"No."

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTyt9mK3ry

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

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZx30Umu2Sz

Liam looked away immediately.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3G2RGEM8I

"I was looking at the window."

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdpdxomE64

"On the 37th floor?"

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzOsNR6ojz

"...Maybe."

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUxdMDylXg

Scarlett smiled.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKnIXGD978

"Hopeless."

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNr67k1Qj2G

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98se0TZenS

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7KfaCnuNB

Meanwhile—

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLO23jNxh2X

Inside Adrian's office.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQkc4SaDLs

Nathaniel watched him work.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5LJV5l8Ov

Suspiciously.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2AklO5W2Y

Very suspiciously.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSpX1nUH0p

"Sir."

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wVW3neGsv

"Hm."

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPGCCA9xxx

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

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDiPVvlFfx

"I never insult him."

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqHiujHWHK

"You called him dramatic."

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rL9sSYKyc

"He is."

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXwMZtrkec

"You called him emotional."

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32hKoaYuxs

"He is."

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34Pn66S5Mx

"You called him a walking disaster."

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfvq8l38re

"He kissed his CEO."

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW82guFGT7Z

Nathaniel nodded.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoq3g92QEi

Fair.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7diyKDi7zL

Still—

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUJDeZb9aX

Adrian seemed different.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHDil6VUDi

Quieter.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvv9ZigRgtZ

Colder.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFud75fB4OV

More distant.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtn5nYXWZGy

Exactly what Liam wanted.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOoOFeCARN

Yet somehow...

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdAFUZzRio

No one seemed happy.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqLB5LxaBz

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJ58iPz9iC

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ2Ood6YNwI

That afternoon—

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKpn7JleBD

Liam returned home exhausted.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICwky0ngN7

Only to find someone standing outside his apartment.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpGVgsw3M8

Tall.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1hlwhzhCk

Familiar.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhRA5OpBNG

Holding flowers.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9Xq6gZenm

Smiling nervously.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaav6ehEK3z

Liam froze.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxvQKAoExI

His heart stopped.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIP3ZsBSaFT

No.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKbxfWk7oo

No way.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1t6It6hEL

It couldn't be.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eQ69zrBjx

The man looked up.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHJeJeECSM

Soft brown hair.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo95aBw7nPh

Warm eyes.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1Qa4ez4qS

The same face Liam spent years trying to forget.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC51XDsl3W2

Nathan Cole.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRe5M2crRhT

His ex-boyfriend.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU3QlHz0F6H

The man who cheated.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOH0I35aDma

The man who left.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIsRZqfhoB

The man who got engaged.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqf3nxuCKp

Nathan smiled weakly.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccbLsitvbe

"Hi, Liam."

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYploI1q5Fm

Silence.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4hgg2D5dg

Complete silence.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5BFzKxtfz

Liam stared.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNJY4RpmyI

"...What are you doing here?"

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaaZ253p4p

Nathan rubbed the back of his neck.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pmfyQmtJT

"I wanted to see you."

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dy6cSNW5h

"Why?"

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5dKtnCMLo

"My engagement ended."

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZLYajOpeA

Liam blinked.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWeHHJbg7y

"Oh."

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCVknEK7WP

Nathan took a step closer.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6WXVLu4MW

"I made a mistake."

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwRpb8W7gT

Liam didn't answer.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfIJGK7AVR

"I shouldn't have left."

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmY2fh6iym

No answer.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JyM2OBKfu

"I miss you."

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWaAyXryt1

Still nothing.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYt8q066No

Nathan lowered his voice.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdkr8Inq7U

"I still love you."

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eNND60vJn

Liam looked down.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaw20LeEq3s

Three months ago—

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLhb8XlCNi

Those words would've made him cry.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBsR1pmYoV

Six months ago—

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXMR9dtRjo

He would've immediately forgiven him.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMakbatrQg7

But now...

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZyIliEgDo

He felt strangely calm.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnLQtczhZV

Strangely empty.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXe4Riammp

Nathan smiled softly.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0x7lkMOrT

"Can we start over?"

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55zPZRkmYO

Liam opened his mouth.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8l4DBKScXf

Ready to answer.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgEth2Ru1O

Ready to say something.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTB92ehXgd3

Anything.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGGbjS1eKf

Then—

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUdtcYL01N

A black car stopped nearby.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9fbfXprDt

The window rolled down.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9liCt9UYU

Adrian sat inside.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIReXRmpaXR

Expression unreadable.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaG0wjUFcV

Dark eyes fixed on Nathan.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRQ2Mf2dmu

Then on Liam.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzLp384g18

Neither moved.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjV1EzmGEDp

Neither spoke.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoN3ev66cU

Adrian simply looked away.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzO2UY1WPx

And told the driver,

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZwRTwcvEV

"Let's go."

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8IWrWeNSL

The car drove off.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpcCs2L0Eu

Just like that.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0OKqkAtby

Without saying a word.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMemkITvAl7

Without asking a question.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvWqflEyqH

Without fighting for him.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjOjRbwk2k

Liam watched the disappearing car.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaReRhbsoT

For some reason—

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNvbT4mE1F

His chest hurt.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCC5vOJEHUt

More than when Nathan cheated.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8gpoTwsL8

More than when Nathan left.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNbwXVlwO8

And suddenly—

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudseIK1ysb

Liam realized something terrifying.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeH5zsQz80

He had spent years missing his ex.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjimG7C2yMn

But the person he wanted to chase after...

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfszD9CIWB

Was Adrian.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpJL0hod5v

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDgDILxcyI

---

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQ1XCvKUE8

Nathan smiled.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYE5YzqZs00

"So..."

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKGHu4bMLV

"Will you give me another chance?"

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHg0GAEgQaD

Liam remained silent.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHnYuad5eI

Eyes still fixed on the road Adrian had taken.

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKR06CCGUr

Then quietly whispered,

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWve7rxI1Uw

"...I don't know."

8Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAwJG5xkjp
