Chapter 6

　　"Ayden, check it yourself if you doubt me. While you're at it, tell Leticia: Playing sneaky office games? Better invest in actual skills."

　　I hung up the phone and blacklisted and deleted Ayden's phone number.

　　After a frozen moment, I opened our chat and hit delete on years of messages.

　　My phone lagged under the weight of our digital history, its slow purge letting me witness a decade of love stories dissolve bit by bit.

　　I put my phone into my pocket, and then I raised a relaxed smile to comfort my worried grandmother and uncle.

　　After I went back, I realized that my uncle had already prepared a clean and cozy room for me.

　　"Krista, see if you like it or not. I don't know what girls like, so I prepared these for you randomly."

　　My uncle touched his head, feeling a bit embarrassed.

　　The entire room was styled in my favorite creamy whites, and even the lamp glowed in my cherished blue.

　　"I like it, Brian. Thank you."
