"I really like this one." One of the board of directors said as he reviewed our proposal.

We just finished presenting it in front of everyone and I was dead nervous because my parents were there, too.

"What do you think, sir?" He asked my dad.

Dad didn't even seem nervous for me. He looked...proud.

"The interns did a great job for the concept proposal. I think all of them deserves to be praised for this one." He simply said while giving me a small smile.

I smiled at my co-interns and I almost laughed because they were so pale!

I held Macy's hand and she gave me a smile.

As soon as the meeting ended, all of us went to our main office and we kinda celebrated a little.

"Don't forget our dinner this weekend!" One of our managers said before leaving the room.

"Yes, ma'am!"

I chuckled and went back to sit beside Macy. I raised a brow when I saw her staring blankly at her phone.

"Hey, you okay??" I asked as I offered her some soda.

"Huh? Yeah of course." She said.

"I won't pressure you to open up but please know I'm willing to listen." I said.

She sighed before answering.

"Thank you, y/n. But I think it's not the right time to share since we're in the middle of celebrating." She said.

"Wanna grab some coffee after this?" I asked, kinda hesitant because my offer might get refused.

"Okay." She nodded.

Her phone kept ringing and I accidentally saw that it was her boyfriend.

I remember how identical we were with our boyfriends. She loved his boyfriend so much, it shows by her actions.

I wonder what's up...

She sighed heavily before shutting down her phone.

I acted as I didn't saw anything and stood to eat some snacks along with our other interns.

As soon as the mini party was over, I pulled Macy's arm and we went to a cozy cafe nearby.

"You know what? I didn't thought you're this nice." She said before sipping her cup of latte.

"Do I look scary??" I gasped but she chuckled while shaking her head.

"Not what I meant! I just didn't thought you'd actually reach out to me and offer an ear." She said.

"So what's the problem?" I asked as I held her hand which was placed on top of the coffee table.

She heaved a sigh and I saw her eyes getting teary.

Without even answering me, she pulled her phone out of her bag and showed me a picture of her and her boyfriend.

"This is the problem." She said.

She was trying her best to smile and wipe the tears that were falling nonstop.

"He broke up with me."

I fucking felt the pain even though I wasn't the one being hurt.

"I'm so sorry." I said as I sat beside her and gave her a hug.

She sobbed silently and I think she's been keeping all these tears to herself for so long.

"I can't pick up his calls because I was so afraid that he'd ask me to just let go of our relationship." She said.
