Happy Breakup: Regaining My Confidence

That night, the entertainment headlines were dominated by the romance of a wealthy young master and a popular actress.

The young master of the Black group spent lavishly to make his lady smile.

Overnight, thousands of flowers appeared all over Togama.

With fireworks filling the sky as a backdrop, Jeremy held Susan proudly.

These were things he once considered a waste of time and energy, yet he did them all for someone else.

Everyone was saying that Jeremy was getting ready to settle down.

I suddenly thought of a line from Empresses in the Palace. [All the love and time spent these years, were they all wrongly placed?]

After leaving the place I once considered home, I called my best friend, Bella, and asked if she could stay with me for a while.

I explained the situation roughly, and Bella was furious over the phone, insisting on beating up the scumbag.

"Five years, what did Jeremy take those five years for? That scumbag, that heartless man, I always said he was no good."

Hearing his name still made my heart ache, and my voice caught in my throat.

Bella understood my silence and asked softly, "Emma, where are you? I'll come to find you right away, just stay where you are."

It was still a bit cold in Togama in early spring. I sat on a park bench in a daze, and soon it started to rain lightly.

Bella said she had something urgent and couldn't come, so she sent someone to pick me up.

As I was about to seek shelter from the rain, I looked up and locked eyes with a man.

Jagger?

What was he doing here?

The man was dressed in a well-fitted suit, the collar of his shirt slightly open, looking a bit displeased.

I rarely saw Jagger looking so serious nad he was usually all smiles.

He held an umbrella with one hand and loosened his tie with the other.

Walking towards me, I called him Mr. Lynn, and Jagger raised an eyebrow, "Let's go, back to my place first."

Before I could say anything, Jagger handed me the umbrella, picked up my suitcase, and walked ahead.

I hesitated for a moment but followed.

I didn't worry much about Jagger.

Jagger was a known workaholic with no interest in women.
