Bye-Bye Jerk, Hello Mr. Right
Hello 50

Chapter 50

Jacé didn't say anything for a long time, then nodded mockingly. "If you're doing that just to throw a fit, go ahead."

Even now, he didn't think he was wrong. He still blamed me.

I couldn't be bothered to argue with him anymore. "I'll move out of your family's house."

"My family house?" Jace's dark eyes narrowed. "Rea, you never really saw it as home, did you? My parents' love for you was just wasted."

I pressed my lips together. He didn't get that it wasn't his parents' love I needed; it was his.

I had already decided to break up with him, so there was no point in arguing anymore.

"Mr. Johnston, I have work to do," I said, not mentioning my resignation since I planned to finish the amusement park project first.

"Are you seriously breaking up with me?" Jace asked again.

Maybe he didn't catch it the first time. I looked at him, the face I'd admired for ten years, and gave my final answer. "Yeah, Jace, I'm breaking up with you. From now on, we're done. We'll marry other people and have nothing to do with each other." He let out a bitter laugh. "Fine, you said it. Don't regret it."

'Regret?!"

This was the second time he'd mentioned it. I had no idea how he could be so confident to say something like that.

Maybe it was because of my ten years of dumb devotion, trailing behind him like a lost puppy, putting up with his coldness and neglect without ever leaving.

"Goodbye," I said, turning to leave.

Jace didn't stop me. Just as I reached the door, there was a knock.

I opened it and was surprised to see Tanya.

Her eyes flashed with panic, but she smiled warmly like we were best friends. "Keira, you're back?!"

I just stared at the document in her hand, my eyes zeroing in on the red RiverwaveCorp header. I couldn't believe it.

Anything with a red header was supposed to be for RiverwaveCorp insiders only, but there Tanya was, holding it.

I was already shocked she was here, but her having company documents? That was on another level.

Tanya shifted uncomfortably under my gaze. "I came to drop off some files for Jace-I mean, Mr. Johnston."

The way she called him "Mr. Johnston" made everything click, Jace hadn't just given her a place to

stay; he'd brought her into the company, too.

Demi hadn't mentioned any of this. Maybe she was too busy or just didn't want to upset me.

But it didn't matter now. Whether Jace brought Tanya into the company or even married her, it wasn't my problem anymore. "Please move, I need to get through," I said.

I wasn't trying to be rude to a pregnant woman, but the right thing to do was to let people out before going in.

Tanya moved aside, and I walked out quickly.

As the door shut behind me, I heard Jace's voice, "Why didn't you tell me Keira went to Splendor Heights?"

I didn't care how Tanya explained it. It didn't matter to me anymore.

When I got back to the office, Demi rushed over. "Keira, you went to Mr. Johnston's office. What did you talk about? Did you two make up?" "What do you think? I shot back.

Demi nervously grabbed my arm under my stare. "I'm sorry, Keira. I didn't mean to keep it from you. was just worried you'd be upset-"

"And afraid I'd get distracted from work, which would get you into trouble too, right?" I finished for her. "I'm really sorry, Keira."
