As they left, Albert kept an eye on their path. The colleague smirked. “Heard from Axell's supervisor they're new lovebirds, still in the honeymoon phase. Youngsters always have tons of passion."

Albert gulped down his glass of champagne.

“Absolutely. Honeymooners are always glued at the hip."

In the restroom, Jessie bumped into Albert.

Alone in the ladies' room, she watched as Albert slipped in quietly, hanging a "cleaning" sign on the door.

She faced him in the mirror, whispering, “What're you up to, Mr. Waston?"

Albert leaned closer, meeting her gaze.

Unable to resist, she pressed, "Why are you here? Albert... It's been three years since we split. Can't you let me go? Duefron's huge, I've been dodging you. Can't you just leave me be? Are you trying to expose my past to Axell and ruin me?"

Finally, Albert spoke up. "Jessie, is our past only shameful to you?"

"Or what?"

She scoffed. “You've been high and mighty too long, Mr. Waston. You probably don't know what it's like to be humiliated.”

She didn't want to talk further, so she opened the door, ready to leave.

Albert turned back and whispered softly, “Jessie, come back to me, alright? You don't love Axell. I don't see any love in your eyes when you look at him."

Hearing this, Jessie felt a mix of amusement and sadness.

She asked quietly, "What is love? I loved fiercely once, giving my all, but in the end, he left me for someone else! Mr. Waston, now that you've got it all, you're reminiscing about the past, huh? But that's not what I want anymore. Let's just leave it be... Stop bothering me."

With that, she pushed open the door and left without a second thought.

Not far from the restroom, Axell was deep in conversation with his colleague. They seemed to be discussing Albert's recent interest in investing in the medical field, and the colleague advised Axell to be more attentive and seize the first chance he got.

Just then, Axell spotted his girlfriend emerging.

Jessie's eyes were a bit teary. As he was about to ask what happened, he saw Albert trailing behind her from the ladies’ room...

AxelL's expression darkened.
