Frey lay on the bed, staring blankly at the yellow crystal chandelier on the ceiling. A bitter smile crept onto her face.
Years ago, Nathaniel had used love to cloud her mind, treating her merely as a tool.
Now, she was playing a similar trick on him, though not as skillfully. He had always been mentally tougher than she was.
The next day was Monday, and Frey had to go to work. Only by immersing herself in the complex design drafts could she feel alive, rather than like a tormented soul.
She woke up early, and as she opened her door, the door of the opposite apartment opened too.
Few people lived in this building due to its prime location and high rent. It was too expensive for those at the bottom, while those at the top found the small apartments unappealing.

The elevator doors slowly closed, hiding his handsome but angry face. Frey breathed a sigh of relief.
She turned around and called the property manager, who seemed to have a guilty conscience. Despite his claims of too many residents and no possibility of moving her
