Episode 5 — "The Ex Who Came Back"

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagx9pa54YZ

Liam got exactly what he wanted.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6dm9tmY8L

Adrian stopped smiling at him.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0cxc0E7tP

Stopped teasing him.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4c4Kxlf6s

Stopped holding doors open for him.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92f6u4sTat

Stopped waiting for him after work.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEDlF6IsmV

Stopped talking to him.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tSyM4PbKL

Completely.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gPcPIpHck

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgYLA8g2Xe

---

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4rn36u9zV

Three days.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdhiq6fk8b

Three whole days.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsedgz0ACp9

Not a single text.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vAxkDm40K

Not a single call.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqC2Uk1bKiy

Not even a sarcastic remark.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWEmqxltaw

Only professional emails.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASuhnJ76L6

> From: Adrian Cross

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxN2Zh5SXM

Subject: Marketing Proposal

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbopZ8y6Tv

Please revise slide 12.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaI79UIrOC

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFDnKbt7Ht

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonmqg0cDpq

That was it.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgx23GgBVs

No Good morning.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GKro1ITJB

No Mr. Hart.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2Tlr9Pc3f

No annoying comments.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MSubvIDqq

Nothing.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQizk33b9f

Liam should've been happy.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoZmrq8rff

He asked for this.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjjcWUE73G

So why did it feel...

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkvGHb8ut3

Lonely?

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVwiz9Cie9

Impossible.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgwItePZxO

Ridiculous.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLC8WIPfLU

Absolutely ridiculous.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTiXBf2tpj

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnh2YPVVlfE

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGrIM6Dy2Y4

Scarlett sighed.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQupiGg2wx7

"You miss him."

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qCe9aZ4nh

Liam nearly choked on his coffee.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDcuOFtXE6

"I do not."

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2gfeH7E7B

"You do."

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHhGXVMegU

"No."

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnVXUl01u0

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

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAbNA9mW9M

Liam looked away immediately.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGzd30GHw2

"I was looking at the window."

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MgyQJCSd5

"On the 37th floor?"

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEeyXq0xV2

"...Maybe."

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpQt0KwS9z

Scarlett smiled.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9SMgxJrxU

"Hopeless."

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzc14fBTI53

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzugTQWAwEM

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhufZjGylUb

Meanwhile—

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjP1H7OR0yb

Inside Adrian's office.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnYa5N7Z2j

Nathaniel watched him work.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2PqYQnvn8

Suspiciously.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwiQOBxWn1

Very suspiciously.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Do0wYLutI

"Sir."

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAaITJFKdp

"Hm."

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjKkRePS3g

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

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNidhxmhoEC

"I never insult him."

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGEAItZ1Um

"You called him dramatic."

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlP1XmnOL5k

"He is."

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFHVhD39Gk

"You called him emotional."

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMVUyPF6zj

"He is."

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEkbZr7bKy

"You called him a walking disaster."

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1E1iLyjKe

"He kissed his CEO."

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dUOD55DU8

Nathaniel nodded.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBcqXFDCx8

Fair.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfjEo8Fi1k

Still—

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpr5mBcvF6

Adrian seemed different.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAH99w1S5S

Quieter.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU60rGoGLeb

Colder.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7prUpg8uMh

More distant.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTsxB5cx3B

Exactly what Liam wanted.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xMTaI2v1D

Yet somehow...

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmilSU33YI

No one seemed happy.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWDafAT4sI

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxkk8m9ueB

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTz3XbvTh9X

That afternoon—

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xiwqU4cRU

Liam returned home exhausted.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsQtyY75wiR

Only to find someone standing outside his apartment.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2AytgiDOZ

Tall.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJfwgFAivN

Familiar.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLSyrcLBW4

Holding flowers.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhib28Jcg1

Smiling nervously.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pgl3mjLW9

Liam froze.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYSweJb06m

His heart stopped.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivICP6iWAr

No.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtNDuSIrxLO

No way.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDaPoWxVrb

It couldn't be.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdJwh7UfZ6

The man looked up.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQJI3KTv2N

Soft brown hair.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95oOIdbYm2

Warm eyes.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIagw56pkci

The same face Liam spent years trying to forget.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBjFzRjkuc

Nathan Cole.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndyTqYykvU

His ex-boyfriend.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRiy2rHi6X

The man who cheated.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbmNROZTzm

The man who left.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bkAIBWKYy

The man who got engaged.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3V68SHkh8L

Nathan smiled weakly.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDrdFoGPni

"Hi, Liam."

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0y01F9AVa

Silence.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4ECCDGs9o

Complete silence.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMR3jQws2wV

Liam stared.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOE8TjV8ps

"...What are you doing here?"

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SWyXkKHb9

Nathan rubbed the back of his neck.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrlsErw58L

"I wanted to see you."

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUMKVdMOnT

"Why?"

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsflXnmSZOz

"My engagement ended."

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvqlF4TmIj

Liam blinked.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWsVfyDYyV

"Oh."

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbw5HygYnEe

Nathan took a step closer.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyYTmedTCi

"I made a mistake."

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb48ZnE2Sc4

Liam didn't answer.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKc99htzvHC

"I shouldn't have left."

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQOaRJsAi5

No answer.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UCBvA1xM1

"I miss you."

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZw3lqhmcFj

Still nothing.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcHgenr9Lg

Nathan lowered his voice.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWay6KiBxt

"I still love you."

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qr6IQUq89

Liam looked down.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrIyiNtRWx

Three months ago—

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuj2Po3nC35

Those words would've made him cry.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33XHEDGegU

Six months ago—

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyNwY2YCLx

He would've immediately forgiven him.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOl62loo59L

But now...

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzWEM3gfrC

He felt strangely calm.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrxOi0hWcj

Strangely empty.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mlcVuoIfQ

Nathan smiled softly.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqB5j9rSiO

"Can we start over?"

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ607VYDEKt6

Liam opened his mouth.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenQzqajTS5

Ready to answer.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dGbAMpZKj

Ready to say something.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1f7uiNjOcL

Anything.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBiWSzpYvr

Then—

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSq0O3yAhkn

A black car stopped nearby.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLnvgo3KLa

The window rolled down.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzZaYY9Pp5

Adrian sat inside.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrygYpMhRq

Expression unreadable.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbumfcZ0yR

Dark eyes fixed on Nathan.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTZVfsg3Mn

Then on Liam.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Lxw7qzRtx

Neither moved.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWIHanCxWy

Neither spoke.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINCojfBHxB

Adrian simply looked away.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjqdNmfKAQ

And told the driver,

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoiGAWR3mW

"Let's go."

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpV8xWxHTT8

The car drove off.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQbcxqcfAU

Just like that.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvfgADOapY

Without saying a word.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcsNvXcKpp

Without asking a question.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVpviGzYha

Without fighting for him.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucFvknoaQE

Liam watched the disappearing car.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJNjFc9xGN

For some reason—

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixU0cUJiNp

His chest hurt.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevdGBJuOPj

More than when Nathan cheated.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKDuLN24kE

More than when Nathan left.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrhLMVc3PR

And suddenly—

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEWzyrPg1M

Liam realized something terrifying.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxewwgIaCy

He had spent years missing his ex.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7nSMCC5pP

But the person he wanted to chase after...

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjERK9eF5f

Was Adrian.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqsFJT5ByV

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsbXZbsOMu

---

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlGlj6S8TJ

Nathan smiled.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgVxbGlTNg

"So..."

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8Y66w92tx

"Will you give me another chance?"

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIPUM5KMwz

Liam remained silent.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLmWcQOaXQ

Eyes still fixed on the road Adrian had taken.

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31U40Psblp

Then quietly whispered,

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafMOndNAfi

"...I don't know."

52Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFo8w7v84of
