Chapter 4
It had been an hour since I entered the hospital.
Victor had not returned.
“Is no one coming to pick you up?” the nurse asked. It was only then that I gave Victor a call.
However, Victor had completely forgotten that he only came to the hospital with me in the first place.
“I’m sorry, Georgia. Charlotte suddenly felt unwell, so I sent her home…”
Before he could finish talking, I heard someone saying from his side, “Your husband treats you so well! He immediately bought you all these flowers after you said you liked them!”
I could hear Charlotte speaking next to Victor.
Even though Victor had immediately walked away, I still heard the conversation very clearly.
“Alright.”
I ended the call. Victor sent me a text message.
[Darling, I’ll explain to you when I go home.]
He was just trying to lie to me again.
I hailed a cab and went back home with my crutches.
I did not manage to get an explanation from him on the same night.
Victor did not come back at all.
I had just ended a business call with an overseas client and sent the publicity strategy proposal for the first quarter. I was rubbing my eyes tiredly when I received a text message.
[Victor, have you really gotten together with Charlotte? What about Georgia?]
I clicked on the screenshot that he sent. It was a screenshot of Charlotte’s social media page.
Her house was covered in flowers.
Charlotte was sitting in the middle of the flower bouquets, and she was wearing Victor’s jacket, which I had bought for him. She was smiling very sweetly.
The caption read, [You still belong to me.]
From the French windows, I could see Victor’s reflection as he took this photo for her.
It was then I realized that I had accidentally signed in to Victor’s account.
Victor replied from his phone, [Stop it!]
His friend sent a suggestive sticker to him.
I shut my laptop and got a good sleep.
Three days later, I submitted all my proposals and my resignation letter to the CEO.
The CEO did not want me to leave, but he was happy for me as well.
“Georgia, you’ve been working with me since you graduated. I really don’t want to let you go, but I want to congratulate you for finding your own happiness!”
The CEO and a few managers invited me for a farewell meal. It was the same restaurant that Victor and I went to for our first date and a few subsequent anniversaries.
Victor used to say, “Darling, when I propose to you in the future, I’ll do it here too. We will be able to see the most beautiful night view from here!”
Halfway through the meal, I planned to sneak out to pay for the meal when I bumped into Charlotte.
