"It was obvious when the manager was yelling at you," Anna said. "I could see it clearly-Mr. Ellison's

expression screamed protectiveness. And sure enough, he manager got fired, and he stood up for you like some knight in shining armor."

Caroline groaned, lightly banging her forehead against the table. After a moment of thought, she decided not to hide it anymore.

She suddenly sat up straight. "Anna, Mr. Ellison and I are actually married."

Anna's mouth fell open, her shock rendering her speechless.

"But we'll be divorced soon," Caroline added, pursing her lips. She then recounted everything that had happened over the past month. "So, now you understand why I wanted to leave the moment I heard David was coming, right?"

"That explains it. I get it now."

"I didn't mean to keep it from you, Anna. It's just... everything is so complicated, and I..."

Anna interrupted her, her voice full of concern. "You've been dealing with all of this alone? That's exhausting. If I'd known sooner, I could've been there for you."

"It's fine. I've made it through."

Anna nodded, her tone shifting to one of defiance. "Hah, all I can say is David's an idiot for not seeing how amazing you are. Honestly, good thing we didn't end up working at Ellison Group-he'd probably work us to death. Does having a bit of money make him special We'll find something better.

Outside the cafe's floor-to-ceiling window stood a man n a dress shirt and slacks, his clean-cut face calm as he gazed at Caroline. His eyes, filled with a quiet intensity, seemed ready to overflow with emotion.

Caroline met his gaze for a brief moment before nonchalantly looking away and lifting her coffee cup. Her hand was steady, her demeanor calm.

"A long time indeed, Nash." Caroline smiled politely, he tone distant. "Or should I call you Mr. Newton?" Nash Newton stared at her for a moment before replying, "Call me whatever you like."

"Then Mr. Newton it is. What can I do for you?"

Nash sighed. "Must you be so distant with me?"

Caroline countered, "Are we supposed to be close?"

"I know... Caroline, you still hate me. Hate me for leaving without a word, for abandoning you, for

choosing a well-matched fiancée, and most of all... For choosing ambition over love without hesitation."

"Mr. Newton, you abandoned me?" Caroline chuckled. I'm afraid I don't understand. After all, we were never together to begin with."
