When He Finally Cared, I Was Already Gone

My boyfriend, Leo, bailed on my birthday dinner again—this time for his assistant, Chloe.

That same day, I quietly submitted an application for a three-year international secondment.

He happened to see my application form, but just smirked indifferently.

"Trying to get jealous again with these childish tricks? Can you stop being so immature?"

He tore up the application, then acted like he was doing me a huge favor by offering to take wedding photos to "make it right."

But it was too late.

By the day of the photoshoot, I was already on a plane out of the country.
