Falling in Love with My Ex-boyfriend for the Second Time

I was so surprised that my colleague would tell Damian what I said that day.

I said that to Holly.

It must have been Holly, the big mouth, who told others.

Damian thought I didn't hear him, so he was gonna repeat it. He said, "Emilia..."

I immediately reacted and used one hand to cover his mouth. "My name is Ella!"

Damian nodded, removing my hand. "Dear Ella, shall we eat together?"

Actually, why not?

I hesitated for a few seconds and then nodded.

What was the big deal?

After putting the flowers in the office, I changed out of my white coat and took the elevator with Damian, holding my bag.

I never thought that we would bump into Ruby Russell here.

Ruby was the reason why I broke up with Damian.

She was a beautiful girl from the Dance Academy.

More than five months ago, Ruby and Damian's team came to the city where I was to participate in a competition.

By coincidence, Ruby and Damian were assigned to two rooms on the same floor of the hotel and had dinner together.

What was even more coincidental was that the restaurant was right at the entrance of my school.

My roommate had seen Damian's photo before. Otherwise, I wouldn't have known that he ate with another girl alone.

Remembering all this, I subconsciously clenched my right hand while standing in the corner of the elevator. I was afraid of hearing Damian greet Ruby.

It would make me feel like a loser.

Fortunately, when the elevator stopped on the third floor, Ruby walked out.

I leaned against the side, feeling relieved.

Damian probably noticed my uneasiness and took the initiative to ask me, "Are you OK?"

I glanced at him. Now that we bumped into Ruby, I had to act tough no matter what. "I'm perfectly fine."

Damian didn't say anything else. When the elevator reached the first floor, I followed him out.

At first, I had a slight hope in my heart, thinking that perhaps Damian and I could get back together. Yet after seeing Ruby, I no longer wanted it.

I didn't think we'd get back together again after what had happened.

I lost all interest and casually found a restaurant to go in.

Damian grabbed me from behind. I lost balance and fell into his arms.

He explained seriously, "Nothing happened between me and Ruby."

I swore that I had heard him say so at least ten times.

When we were together, I lacked a sense of security and would always overthink. Like everyone else, I thought of Damian as one of those scumbag sports students.

He always frowned and said I was being too sensitive.

That day, I bumped into Ruby and Damian eating together and going back to the hotel together. I didn't rush up to question him, and the next day when he came to find me, I didn't argue with him either.

Instead, I clicked on my phone album.

I showed him a few photos I took last night.
