She Cheated and then Regreted So Much novel Chapter 6

Sarah managed to get ahold of me again.

This time, her usual confidence was gone, replaced by desperation and accusations.

"James, you must be loving this, huh? Feeling important for once?"

"You disappeared, and now everything's falling apart."

"Are you seriously not going to take responsibility?"

"People are throwing rotten eggs at our office!"

"William's too scared to leave his apartment!"

"What the hell do you even want from me?!"

Her delusion made me laugh.

Had she finally snapped from the stress?

"Sarah, we're over. Your company's problems have nothing to do with me."

She scoffed, but I could hear the panic creeping into her voice.

"James! I never approved your resignation! I can still come after you for damages!"

I chuckled coldly.

"You might wanna double-check that."

"Pretty sure I never signed a contract with your company."

Silence.

For the first time ever, Sarah had nothing to say.

Back when the company first started, I never thought about leaving, let alone breaking up with Sarah, so I never bothered bringing up a contract.

Even my salary was just Sarah transferring money to me herself.

Right then, my mom called out from the other room.

"James, Olivia's here! Come on out."

I responded and was about to hang up when Sarah's voice snapped through the phone.

"James! Who the hell is Olivia?"

"Are you going on a blind date?"

"Are your parents forcing you to get married?"

"Is that why you're breaking up with me?"

So, she always knew my parents were pressuring us to settle down.

She just never cared.
