Emma, can you stop being so childish?” Ethan said, his tone dripping with condescension.

I was confused, unsure of what he meant.

“You’re upset because I proposed and now you need someone to play along with your little act. Is that really necessary?”

I couldn’t believe he thought so little of me; it made me laugh in disbelief. “Ethan, you really think too highly of yourself. If you have nothing else to say, you can leave.“&

I turned on my heel and quickly pulled Kyle with me to the car.”

I finally understood that Ethan didn’t deserve my love.”

Kyle drove in silence until we reached the entrance of my neighborhood.

“So, did you say yes?” he asked.

It took me a moment to realize he was referring to the ring on my finger.

I raised my hand to admire it; it was truly beautiful.

“Let’s see how you perform,” I replied playfully.

Kyle smiled–a genuine smile this time, not just a polite one.”

I hadn’t forgotten about visiting my parents, and as we prepared to leave, Kyle mentioned he had a surprise for me.” When I got home, I discovered what that surprise was.

My parents hadn’t seen me in a long time and initially ignored me when I walked in.”

But they couldn’t hold back for long and soon enveloped me in tears.

“Emma, let me see you! Oh no, you’ve lost weight!” my mother exclaimed, her eyes brimming with tears again as she hugged me tightly.”

I had always known we were running a small business at home, but after three years away, it had grown into something substantial. “Your dad just landed a big contract,” she said proudly. “If all goes well, we might go public!“}

As we chatted, I learned that Kyle was involved in that deal.

Watching my dad talk animatedly about it made me smile too.”

When they found out about my breakup with Ethan, they were overjoyed and insisted I return to help manage the company.”

Since I was their only daughter, I planned to return home.”

Ironically, the first project I would be negotiating was with Ethan’s company.”

The thought of seeing his face filled me with unexpected satisfaction.

When Ethan walked into the conference room with that woman by his side, his composed demeanor shattered upon seeing me.

Once everyone else left, he finally spoke up, “Emma, what are you up to now?”

I set down my coffee and looked him straight in the eye. “I don’t know what you mean.”

I called for my assistant to bring in the contract.}

After following Ethan around for so long during our relationship, I had learned a lot about negotiations.

Handling this small project was going to be easy.”

Ethan opened his mouth to say something else, but I silenced him with a glance. “Time is precious; don’t waste it.“} In the end, I emerged victorious from the negotiation.

My dad had worried I might be rusty and sent an experienced colleague along for support, but I hardly needed him.”

I closed the contract and said confidently, “So Ethan, it’s settled then; the electronic contract will be sent to your email tomorrow.”

Ethan’s face paled as he processed what had just happened.”

Before he could respond further, I signaled for my assistant to escort him out.

A minute later, however, Ethan returned to the meeting room looking flustered. “Emma, what’s going on?”

Not wanting to engage in small talk with him, I replied directly, “The president of this company is Mr. Johnson; what do you think?”

His expression darkened as he stepped closer to grab my hand, but I quickly pulled away. “Please escort him out.” Seeing his reluctant demeanor brought me immense satisfaction.
