Chapter CHAPTER 7

I wiped my tears and fell silent.
I had embarrassed myself in the fire, and now, with his inexplicable feelings towards me, we had nothing more to say. “You next…” he began, but was interrupted by a sudden, urgent ringtone.
It was Yannis calling.
“Jasmine, where are you?” Yannis’s anxious voice came through, his breathing heavy with tension.
I glanced at Ian, who pursed his lips and frowned slightly.
He was not happy.
“Jasmine, answer me!”
Yannis shouted.
I guessed he had returned to the station and found me gone.
Before I left, the instructor had already removed all my promotional materials.
I thought by the time he noticed, I would be in the closed training room.
But he found out sooner than I expected.
I remained silent, and Yannis shouted again.
“I’ve applied for a transfer,” I said.
“What do you mean?”
He asked, his voice trembling with anger.
He must have realized from my avoidance.
I was determined to leave him after the fire.
“Wait for me, okay?”
“I was just upset.” he pleaded, running as he spoke.
“There’s nothing between Wendy and me.
I tightened my grip on the phone, recalling the events before our argument.
I had been pursued aggressively by someone.
When when I rejected him, he waited downstairs with a weapon.
Yannis had intervened and taken him to the police, but then blamed me for not rejecting him sooner.
I had rejected him outright the first time, but Yannis still held it against me, using it as an excuse to hurt me. I have no control over what others want to do.
But since then, Yannis has always been causing trouble for me.
However, I have always believed that it wasn’t my fault.
Nor is it a reason for him to keep hurting me using his ex–girlfriend as an excuse.
Thinking of this, I made up my mind and said, “Don’t come.‘
“We’re over.”
