I assured Rose and then posted the recording of my call with Tracy.
I didn’t explain much, only accompanying it with a line: [It’s okay to love the wrong person; what’s important is to cut your losses in time.]
Tracy had no rebuttal, and the arrows pointed at her once again.
Seeing Tracy at a disadvantage, Frank called, asking me to clarify.
I blocked and deleted all his contact information and set my phone to reject any unknown calls.
After doing all this, I started packing my luggage, ready to embrace a new life.
With the help of the agent, I settled my accommodation in Aurora City.
The house was fully furnished, and I could move in at any time,

On the first day in Aurora City, I simply arranged the house, and on the second day, I threw myself into work. However, as soon as I arrived at the subsidiary, someone exclaimed in surprise, “You…you’re not called Evelyn, are you?”
I was taken aback for a moment, then nodded. “What’s wrong?”
The girl was shocked, covering her mouth, and showed me her phone.
She was reading the Twitter thread about the love triangle involving me. Frank and Tracy
After the Misery, I Found My Smile
She was reading the Twitter thread about the love triangle involving me, Frank, and Tracy.
I helplessly moved my gaze away, feeling only resignation. I had distanced myself from them, yet I still heard
their names.
“This is about you, right? Did Tracy really break up your relationship?”
I didn’t want to talk about my personal matters with strangers, so I indifferently shook my head. “You’ve got the
wrong person. I just happen to share the same name. I don’t know them.”
“Really? That can’t be possible…”
“Today is Monday, so we should have an early meeting. Let’s hurry over so we don’t get late.”
As I spoke, I walked away, avoiding her scrutinizing gaze.
My new colleagues were quite easy to get along with, especially my superior, Edward Hawking.
Being new to this unfamiliar city, I wasn’t quite used to it.
He always appeared by my side when I needed help.
Today, I encountered an urgent work issue that required overtime, and I stayed late only to run into building
maintenance that cut off power to the entire floor.
Surrounded by endless darkness, I could only rely on the light from the opposite building to find my phone.
Just as I found my phone and turned around, I suddenly bumped into a warm embrace.
Startled, I took a step back instinctively but tripped over a chair and lost control, falling backward.
At the critical moment, a pair of strong hands caught me.
“There’s no need to be so excited, is there?”
Recognizing Edward’s voice, I gradually calmed down.
“Edward, why are you here?”
“I just came down the stairs and heard some noise here, so I came to check it out. Let’s go down together,” Edward explained.
The office was on the nineteenth floor, and I was afraid to walk down the stairs alone.
His words unexpectedly calmed me down.
I grabbed my bag and followed closely behind him.
Once we were out of the company, Edward said it was too late to get a taxi and offered to drive me home.
Since we lived across from each other, I naturally didn’t want to miss out on this good opportunity to hitch a ride.
“Alright, next time, I’ll drive over, and I’ll take you back.”
“No need. Just make an extra portion for dinner later.”
Edward usually had simple meals when he was home alone.
Ever since I moved in, he had been finding ways to come over for dinner.
I smiled helplessly, thinking about what delicious dish to prepare later.
Just as I took out my phone to look up recipes, I saw a message from Lila.
She said: [Karma’s catching up. Tracy was exposed for cheating during a university competition. Not only that, she’s been known to seduce a girl’s boyfriend and bully the girl. Now, she’s become the target of public criticism. It’s truly satisfying. And as I thought, that delivery guy was her man. Her former colleagues have testified that this is her usual tactic.]
I read the message, feeling complex emotions.
I originally thought she was just playing tricks to get Frank, but I didn’t expect her to be so malicious.
[Let’s not bother with her. Just treat it as a show]
[Okay. By the way, Frank has been hanging around this area lately, trying to find out where you are. We didn’t tell
Hearing Frank’s name, I felt a bit dazed, not because I missed him, but because he felt so distant. If she hadn’t mentioned him, I would have almost forgotten his existence.
[Thank you, I’ll treat you to something nice when I get back.]
[Great, I want the most expensive one! You better not be stingy, future Manager Evelyn!]
I smiled and replied: [Sure.]
I looked up ahead. The breeze blowing through the car window was comfortable and pleasant, much like m
