In my past life, there was another reason I hated Sonia.
I saw her more than once getting close to Zaiden’s nemesis, Ron Charles.
He was a spoiled rich brat, arrogant and spiteful, always trying to mess with Zaiden.
was convinced Sonia had been sent to mess with his feelings. That was why I kept targeting her.
But this time, no matter what the truth is, I need to find out.
I’d help them get back on the path they missed in our past life.
So I started clinging to Sonia, told her I felt guilty, and wanted to be friends.
At first, she was wary.
But once she realized I meant no harm, she let her guard down.
I casually asked, “What do you think of Zaiden?”
Her ears turned pink.
“Mr. Lowell… is gentle. He never loses his temper at work and is really kind. I think he’s a good guy.”
Just as I thought, they had a crush on each other.
And Sonia really was a good match.
Even though I already knew that, my chest still ached with sour jealousy.

That night, Zaiden knocked on my door for the first time in a while, but
he didn’t dare come in.
The last time he walked in unannounced, he discovered the dark, ugly feelings I had for him.
I spoke up first. “I was just reading up on the branch office. Nothing else.”
Since my rebirth, I could feel it–he was pulling further and further away.
Even without that kiss, he could never accept the idea that the girl he raised had feelings for him.
And even without that kiss, I still couldn’t let him go.
He cleared his throat awkwardly.
“Why haven’t you been riding home with me lately?”
I was a little surprised. I didn’t expect that question.
Because I need to get used to life without you.
I casually closed the overseas job application form on my screen and made up an excuse.
“I’ve been getting along with Sonia. We figured we’d head home together, chat a bit.”
Even I didn’t believe it.
Zaiden stared at me–so hard it made my scalp tingle.
I stiffened. “Am I bothering you guys?”
He frowned, then flicked my forehead.

“What are you even thinking? It’s not like that.”
Then, a little irritated, he ran a hand through his hair.
“Whatever. It’s good… for you to make more friends.”
