Tristan knew he couldn’t control who Ophelia liked, but he would never allow it to affect his life.

He opened his umbrella and walked into the rain. I need to pick Sophie up since it’s raining. I don’t remember her taking an umbrella before leaving the house.

Ophelia dropped to her haunches and began bawling.

She always thought one day he would notice her if she worked hard enough.

Yet, she was nothing more than a clown all along.

He had never taken her seriously.

It was rush hour. Lombard Group employees were clocking out and leaving the building.

The first sight they saw after a day of hard work was a beautiful woman weeping sadly at their workplace’s front door.

Alas, their hearts had hardened after working in the city. Everyone was stressed from living in a big city like Jipsdale.

Crying was a common sight.

Sophie, Barney, Simon, and Sandra noticed the heavy rain the minute they left the medical association. None of them brought an umbrella.

“Don’t tell me we have to stay here today.” Sandra sighed. She had completely forgotten to bring an umbrella because she left immediately after class.

Plus, the weather report didn’t mention it would rain that day.

“I’ll head back in to borrow one.” Simon went back into the building. There are so many people in the medical association that I’m sure one of them has an umbrella. I guess the security guard will also have one.

In the meantime, Tristan’s conspicuous Porsche Cayenne had pulled up in front of the University of Medicine’s front door.

Sophie watched her handsome boyfriend get out of the car and open an umbrella before walking toward her.

“I hope I’m not late.”
