"Brent, are you sure you want to recommend Harrington for the American Classified Scientific Research Project?"
"This project will last for ten years. You two will be apart for a long time."
The project manager looked at me, his eyes full of shock and confusion.
In the company, Harrington and I were known as the model couple. The story of how Harrington nearly drained all his blood to save me was still circulating.
Looking at the surveillance video on my phone, Harrington and his junior were intertwined on our bed.
I nodded firmly.
"Yes, I want to be apart from him."
Since Harrington chose to betray me, he must bear the cost of losing me.
