While Jamie went to work during the day, I went out to nearby restaurants along the street to look for a job.


    Since I couldn’t go back to thepany, I was willing to do anything, even washing dishes. I didn’t believe Mr. Galer could control everything.


    My efforts were not in vain. I secured a job as a waitress in a newly opened coffee shop.


    I eagerly shared this good news with Jamie. His voice on the other end of the phone sounded weak, and I thought it might be a bad signal, so I didn’t pay much attention.


    He expressed happiness for me and suggested celebrating together when he got back home in the evening.


    That night, I lit candles and prepared steamed fish, Jamie’s favorite.


    I sat at the dining table, staring at the me of the white candle until it went out. However, my beloved man didn’t return.


    I stood up, absentmindedly knocking over the vase on the table.N?velDrama.Org: text ? owner.


    The nearly withered roses scattered on the floor, conveying a message that things were not going well.


    For three days, I repeatedly called Jamie’s number, but the phone only yed a cold automated message.


    “The user you are trying to reach is currently unreachable.”


    On my way to the police station, I received a WeChat message from Jamie.


    “We’re not suitable for each other. Let’s break up, and please don’t look for me.”


    At that moment, I suddenly realized I couldn’t contact anyone rted to Jamie because he was an orphan.


    I couldn’t believe those words came from him. I began frantically searching, visiting all the ces we had been to.


    All in vain.


    Did he just disappear into thin air?


    I still went to the police station, but the police, after looking at the WeChat message, considered it a simple breakup between lovers and didn’t file a report.


    I returned to being alone, and the hollow nights became even more tormenting than before.


    During the day, I worked at the coffee shop to survive, and at night, I waited by the apartment door, hoping it would open again and reveal Jamie’s warm smile.
