Episode 5 — "The Ex Who Came Back"

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqu4xdR1iSH

Liam got exactly what he wanted.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5V0DZaD9WY

Adrian stopped smiling at him.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ462W0uiJRT

Stopped teasing him.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozyECQL4qF

Stopped holding doors open for him.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwQPSCISeP

Stopped waiting for him after work.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxq2bvYMBIZ

Stopped talking to him.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjhqlVYN6r

Completely.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFmymYVxe9

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5HmK8oLnF

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJKPZ4gUou

Three days.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKQjqV9uhp

Three whole days.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Iqwhsz0xJ

Not a single text.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFtsq73R5f

Not a single call.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GmgOSimV0

Not even a sarcastic remark.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuCUA5vLwG

Only professional emails.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLHx89Pl13

> From: Adrian Cross

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6x0IEJ0B1s

Subject: Marketing Proposal

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOonlSAFgT1

Please revise slide 12.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nYA6ZvVe3

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRxYHWYdj7

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoiaFzR9n8

That was it.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsErwu1pSo

No Good morning.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡue9aq720Aj

No Mr. Hart.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXt4tBs8GiK

No annoying comments.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXGt3yrxF6

Nothing.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78JNduQ0pY

Liam should've been happy.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXyyP6ZnIf

He asked for this.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYaa8eoMb0

So why did it feel...

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrl1pP7CCf

Lonely?

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLG5DvvZzR7

Impossible.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSnLmWqITo

Ridiculous.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkv28nTPgX

Absolutely ridiculous.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9LXyA3hcnq

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zdGromVCx

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbRWNK3yWt

Scarlett sighed.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7JVuJmDgP

"You miss him."

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1783HDuB7

Liam nearly choked on his coffee.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RauGuyJ7g

"I do not."

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXusvNVsbyg

"You do."

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxQENZED1p

"No."

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqpEHnsSP8

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

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFE0MyGlK3

Liam looked away immediately.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0z7xux4ae

"I was looking at the window."

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyvO6KMZ0I

"On the 37th floor?"

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5vCrRWVJp

"...Maybe."

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtFh83qFJy

Scarlett smiled.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tvBbSj9ab

"Hopeless."

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOnQ3Zi6LP

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfr5o5KyqG8

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwFvrFy0SHy

Meanwhile—

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfhz4ILIW1

Inside Adrian's office.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKnt21Kwjl

Nathaniel watched him work.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KsRpSAGCP

Suspiciously.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1TUzi8xOl

Very suspiciously.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCTtZpLTnk

"Sir."

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkyo4M2kbo

"Hm."

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpefd9qVrdp

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

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1ppdyo5HS

"I never insult him."

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQObsxJczg7

"You called him dramatic."

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEScGLUlkBw

"He is."

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSz9HCB2w0

"You called him emotional."

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuXZPSxeeh

"He is."

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9KYGV5emd

"You called him a walking disaster."

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59qiZs2MQ4

"He kissed his CEO."

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQahiLYyyW6

Nathaniel nodded.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuidoAOi1Vg

Fair.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3HZWGpG16

Still—

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDeVgpIieS

Adrian seemed different.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0aC9sN2DI

Quieter.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYPsLDfeaEc

Colder.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrnUUns8HV

More distant.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0k8xGhsxC8

Exactly what Liam wanted.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNCMuisrs0

Yet somehow...

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqs2YXAB3Q

No one seemed happy.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgWI0ROnv5

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiF4zmR1m9Z

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMj3zib3TAr

That afternoon—

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RWXsrClGo

Liam returned home exhausted.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqcJFEx3LU

Only to find someone standing outside his apartment.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtOZw0klUx

Tall.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwiTAGXSB3

Familiar.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dVHwtuXnK

Holding flowers.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXArX9Jo20

Smiling nervously.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYcVc3RjGfu

Liam froze.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPjymNZxkD

His heart stopped.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QLxqRYYHt

No.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGeWTKjEN3

No way.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡER2yQjrqDb

It couldn't be.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9VFVOnPZO

The man looked up.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUsCuP0Lny

Soft brown hair.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMClqsFeEjh

Warm eyes.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6ne093umv

The same face Liam spent years trying to forget.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEClhBXzxTc

Nathan Cole.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKVqqprPIr

His ex-boyfriend.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvbeZGItPy

The man who cheated.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSiDrHLtFa

The man who left.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczb4iCldfQ

The man who got engaged.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGB4lku22B

Nathan smiled weakly.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwkQqTOTFr

"Hi, Liam."

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnaRJH55Yu

Silence.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmScHxKLi2

Complete silence.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQa6HQpizc

Liam stared.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8FKTQb5FO

"...What are you doing here?"

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjccgZMi333

Nathan rubbed the back of his neck.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdj1hKhW0p

"I wanted to see you."

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbw3tvhuvC

"Why?"

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFAn7bwrqP

"My engagement ended."

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQtKNUlr14

Liam blinked.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuLHE2EGCE

"Oh."

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtGLVXMK5x

Nathan took a step closer.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHBQevNXvj

"I made a mistake."

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGGOjqgXz4

Liam didn't answer.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNO31tUgFE

"I shouldn't have left."

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LvUCZgrn4

No answer.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxy56H8zVB

"I miss you."

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWIm2puVvc

Still nothing.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOzHoQlXWG

Nathan lowered his voice.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3qr4RZSbs

"I still love you."

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCN3F9od2c2

Liam looked down.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVsW7RniIo

Three months ago—

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHTFlq9rUO

Those words would've made him cry.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsp40vKkNd

Six months ago—

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNanb27xHB

He would've immediately forgiven him.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMDLMtQjv8

But now...

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHN9p978Si

He felt strangely calm.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDVLaECyza

Strangely empty.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX16M9jFOGD

Nathan smiled softly.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpqTRhsksb

"Can we start over?"

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ682TLJg7Fy

Liam opened his mouth.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBktBxzdyCT

Ready to answer.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1sf0H0rFg

Ready to say something.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILJpROct1o

Anything.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHODZTwDZkT

Then—

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqU6z4QfxP

A black car stopped nearby.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsExx6uATlW

The window rolled down.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SVZyPA4dn

Adrian sat inside.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSOBeZscfln

Expression unreadable.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBkTppdoL3

Dark eyes fixed on Nathan.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfX1FDjvzU

Then on Liam.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVZxGRdrmG

Neither moved.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHoGftXmE1

Neither spoke.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrwXz5m4XR

Adrian simply looked away.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2AfPQTgDx

And told the driver,

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuqJcE0AX3

"Let's go."

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡust8pTgbR8

The car drove off.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmJK4IfFXH

Just like that.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aSx5cPppu

Without saying a word.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmQdL6F1dr

Without asking a question.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oc053FXC9

Without fighting for him.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEjDTngH0E

Liam watched the disappearing car.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSmLNjmZO7

For some reason—

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcReUzsB3Pr

His chest hurt.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZCTVRe8tL

More than when Nathan cheated.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTwFlUKZZd

More than when Nathan left.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4N9Gc74vk3

And suddenly—

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1njVrkF8N

Liam realized something terrifying.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyr9PYl1UGI

He had spent years missing his ex.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GUcXUPyRi

But the person he wanted to chase after...

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP71gO99xiH

Was Adrian.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnu1ZhjBjQv

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1ZsC2TCcb

---

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdOzRcZzs3

Nathan smiled.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEX0etY10U1

"So..."

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7J5O6r4Ob

"Will you give me another chance?"

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHLCgCHQpV5

Liam remained silent.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeVHpA06uK

Eyes still fixed on the road Adrian had taken.

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqDE4hjzkd

Then quietly whispered,

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4v4hM5P10

"...I don't know."

53Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXuczq9jtw
