Bye, My Ex-husband

The alarm on her bedside table went off at dawn.

Despite the annoying buzzing, Janessa didn't open her eyes until ten minutes later.

She turned it off, closed her eyes, and laid in bed until she finally felt more awake.

She was not as energetic as usual, especially after the late night.

She put her long hair into a messy bun and went into the living room to see how Alana was doing.

But, when she walked in she was surprised to find that her friend had already left.

Did Alana hate Janessa for what had happened? Why had she left without even saying goodbye? Janessa tried to call Alana, but got no response.

"The number you dialed cannot be connected.Please try again later."

She hung up the phone.

Janessa sat on the sofa and stared at the neatly folded blanket left behind.

Alana’s sad and disappointed eyes from the night before kept flashing in her head.

They had been best friends for more than ten years.

Was all that really going to come to an end because of a guy? How could she face her or Eric again? Janessa didn't know what to do.

Maybe she just needed to give Alana the time and space to figure things out.

There was not much time left for Janessa to get ready for work.

She had to get to the Gu Group to negotiate with the staff today.

For the time being, she put aside the matter of Alana and ran into the bathroom to wash up.

When she just was nearly finished getting ready, the doorbell rang.

Who was at her apartment this early in the morning? Puzzled, she rushed to open the door and found a paper bag of breakfast waiting for her.

"Surprise!"

Eric handed the bag over to her, his cute face grinning.
