His Belated Love Is Worth Nothing novel
Chapter 7

chapter 7

I wiped my tears and fell silent.

I had embarrassed myself in the fire, and now, with his inexplicable feelings towards me, we had nothing more to say. “You next…” he began, but was interrupted by a sudden, urgent ringtone.

It was Yannis calling.

“Jasmine, where are you?” Yannis’s anxious voice came through, his breathing heavy with tension.

I glanced at Ian, who pursed his lips and frowned slightly.

He was not happy.

“Jasmine, answer me!”

Yannis shouted.

I guessed he had returned to the station and found me gone.

Before I left, the instructor had already removed all my promotional materials.

I thought by the time he noticed, I would be in the closed training room.

But he found out sooner than I expected.

I remained silent, and Yannis shouted again.

“I’ve applied for a transfer,” I said.

“What do you mean?”

He asked, his voice trembling with anger.

He must have realized from my avoidance.

I was determined to leave him after the fire.

“Wait for me, okay?”

“I was just upset.” he pleaded, running as he spoke.

“There’s nothing between Wendy and me.

I tightened my grip on the phone, recalling the events before our argument.

I had been pursued aggressively by someone.

When when I rejected him, he waited downstairs with a weapon.

Yannis had intervened and taken him to the police, but then blamed me for not rejecting him sooner.

I had rejected him outright the first time, but Yannis still held it against me, using it as an excuse to hurt me. I have no control over what others want to do.

But since then, Yannis has always been causing trouble for me.

However, I have always believed that it wasn’t my fault.

Nor is it a reason for him to keep hurting me using his ex–girlfriend as an excuse.

Thinking of this, I made up my mind and said, “Don’t come.‘

“We’re over.”
