Chapter 5 — Don't Wait For Someone Who Doesn't Choose You

"Unexpectedly, Pho Than is so cunning and courageous in the business world, but in personal love affairs, he is so despicable and limitless."

“Before, I thought he was a worthy opponent, now, I just feel nauseous.”

I didn't say a word, but inside I felt a little more curious about Luc Trach Xuyen. Unexpectedly, he is also quite straightforward. A moment later, Luc Trach Xuyen returned to the company to handle work. I leaned against the headboard and opened my phone. What caught my eye were countless messages reporting 99+. 6 That's the old company chat group that I haven't yet escaped from, in which people are talking so excitedly that they're going crazy.

“So sweet!”

“I inhaled sugar and became diabetic.”

“The little white lady in the office and the cold boss are truly a match made in heaven!”

The corner of my mouth twitched. Through the screenshot in the group, I clicked on Duong Niem Nhat's personal page. The check-in location is the hospital that specializes in treating marine bacteria, accompanied by a photo of Pho Than with a worried face looking at Duong Niem Nhat being bandaged - bandaging a tiny wound less than two centimeters. I unconsciously put my hand on my stomach. The incision seemed to hurt a little more. The comment area below exploded, full of compliments: "So pampered", "Let's be together forever (99)", "When will the candy be distributed?" Pho Than made an exception to reply under each blessing comment. He had never scrolled through social media before, much less commented casually like this.

“You are allowed to chat after work hours, absolutely not allowed during working hours.”

“Everyone must take good care of themselves, for the body, small things are also big things.”

No explanation. It even brings a sense of humor like tacitly admitting to dating. I clicked on the chat box with Pho Than, the chat history still stopped at yesterday's sentence: "Let's break up." No wonder he didn't see it, it turned out he was busy replying to comments. I grinned, it was really interesting. After all, I'm an ex-boyfriend and an ex-best friend, so I should follow the flow of life and give him a blessing, right? Click comment: "99~ (Let's be together forever~)" The next second, Duong Niem Nhat's message was sent to:

"Thu Dao, don't misunderstand, there is nothing between me and Mr. Pho Than. You know, Mr. Pho Than was only worried so he took me to the hospital."

"If your company colleagues don't know, why are you still joking around?"

I send my blessings but you blame me? I was going to continue commenting under that post, but I discovered it had been deleted. I was a bit taken aback. Pho Than's message exploded to:

“?”

“Khuong Thu Dao, are you crazy?”

The phone kept ringing. As soon as he picked up the phone, Pho Than's breathing seemed rapid:

"I was kind enough to take your best friend to the hospital, but you want to break up?"

“Yes.”

"Are you jealous again? Where are you? I came to find you."

The tone was enthusiastic, but mostly impatient. I sighed softly.

"No need, Pho Than, we no longer have any relationship. The wishes on the internet just now were sincere, I also gave up that two-bedroom apartment to you two, after all, it is filled with beautiful memories of the two of you."

As soon as he finished speaking, the nurse next to him called out: "It's time to change the medicine!" Pho Than lives The other end of the line paused: "Change medicine? What's wrong?"

“It has nothing to do with you.”

I hung up the phone and completely blocked both Pho Than and Duong Niem Nhat. The noisy world finally restored silence. But what I didn't expect was that, less than an hour later, Pho Than actually came to see me. Followed by Duong Niem Nhat with red eyes. As soon as she entered the door and saw me, tears welled up in her eyes immediately.
