When my boyfriend hit the elevator button for my best friend's floor by mistake for the ninety-ninth time, he shot me an accusing look. "Why didn't you remind me? Forget it. Since we're already here, I might as well replace Gem's light bulb." I froze, then forced a thin smile. It was that line again. "Since we're already here." Ever since Gem Shaw moved into the apartment upstairs a year ago, my boyfriend Simon Lawson, had pressed the wrong floor every single time. When we were supposed to watch a movie together, he carried the milkshake to Gem's door and knocked. When my fever wouldn't break and I asked him to bring me medicine, he brought it to Gem's place instead because she had cramps. Our date for two became a movie for three, and my fever medicine became painkillers. Even on my birthday, he carried the cake to Gem's place. "Since we're already here, might as well celebrate your ten years of friendship." "Since we're already here, I might as well fix Gem's clogged drain for her." As I watched him walk into Gem's apartment without looking back, I silently pressed the close-door button. He had already forgotten that today was the day my lease ended, and it was also the day I was moving out. Since he was already here, he didn't need to come back to me.

Against the Wind Chapter 9
After that, my relationship with them was finally over. I no longer had to guess what was going on between them, and I no longer had to argue with myself about it endlessly.Life became peaceful, and I dedicated myself to work.The final review of the last project in Northton went very well, and the client was satisfied. The company gave me a bonus in recognition, and the amount was much higher than I expected.After the meeting, my manager smiled at me. "Janice, there's a supervisor position open at the branch office. Are you interested?"I froze, unable to react for a moment."The transfer won't be immediate, of course. It won't be decided until after the New Year's holidays." My manager waved a hand. "Think it over. There's no rush to give me an answer."Being recognized at work gave me satisfaction I had never felt before.By the time I got off work, it was already dark.I walked out of the office and found Harry waiting by the flower bed outside, holding two cups of milk
Against the Wind Chapter 8
After that day, Simon never texted me or came to look for me again. I heard he had requested a transfer and went to a distant city in the north.Over the phone, my friend sounded like he was in disbelief. "I heard he applied it himself and no one could talk him out of it. He had so many projects on hand, but he just abandoned them all. Was it because of you?"I didn't answer. I simply smiled and changed the subject. Whether it had anything to do with me no longer mattered. From now on, we would go our separate ways and have nothing to do with each other. That was probably the best ending for us.Not long after, I heard news about Gem.Soon after Simon and I broke up, she confessed her feelings to him. However, Simon had become unusually cold. He even told her bluntly, "If you hadn't come between us, would Janice have ever left me?"Everyone who knew him said he had lost his mind. He blamed every mistake on Gem, and he even forced her to resign and go back to her hometown.I
Against the Wind Chapter 7
When I returned to Southburg, I got a call from a coworker just as my plane landed."Janice, thank goodness! You finally picked up. There's someone claiming to be your boyfriend who has been sitting in reception all morning. He won't leave no matter what we say."When I got to the office, Simon was still sitting in reception. It had only been a few days since I last saw him, but he looked exhausted. His shirt was wrinkled, stubble had grown on his chin, and obvious dark circles hung under his eyes.The moment he saw me, he shot up from the couch, his eyes lighting up."Janice, you're back!"To keep him from causing issues at the office, I asked Simon to meet me at a nearby cafe.Simon sat across from me and asked softly, "Janice, why didn't you tell me you moved?"I cut him off calmly. "Simon, we've already broken up.""Broken up?" he repeated the words, and his brows slowly furrowed together. "You think we're separated just because you said we broke up? Janice, what exactly
Against the Wind Chapter 6
Janice's POVAfter I moved, my life became much quieter.In the past, I pushed everything else aside to work around Simon's schedule. I turned down business trips, training sessions, and gatherings with friends.Every time my manager asked for volunteers to take an assignment out of the city, I always lowered my head and stayed silent.Eventually, everyone knew. "Janice? Her boyfriend always comes first."I kept my schedule clear just so I could be there whenever Simon called. But now, I only have to think about myself. I no longer had to consider him.That day, my manager asked again during the meeting. "Who's willing to go for the Northton project next week?"The meeting room went silent as everyone lowered their heads, avoiding his eyes.Next week was Valentine's Day, and no one wanted to travel for work then.In that room full of silence, I was the only one who raised my hand. "I'll go."My manager looked up at me surprised before nodding. "Alright, Janice. You and Harr
