Boss, Your Ex-Girlfriend Has Made a Comeback

My ex became my boss. He nitpicks me every day, docks my performance bonuses, and makes me the laughingstock of the office.

I act meek and obedient to his face, but behind his back, I use the skills he taught me to make our projects thrive.

When his idealized first love parachutes into the company and tells me to my face that I’m not good enough for him, I hand in my resignation and an astronomical offer from a rival company.

He tears up my resignation and corners me in the conference room, eyes bloodshot. “Just try leaving!”

I smile and push him away. “Mr. Gu, a good horse doesn’t eat the grass behind it.”

Later, I become a rising star in the industry, and he presents me with an award as the event’s sponsor.

Under the spotlight, he kneels on one knee, his hand trembling as he holds out a diamond ring:

“But what if… he knows he was wrong and begs you to come back?”
