It"s been two weeks since Katrina broke up with Marcellus.Katrina is sitting at her desk and writing a report when her partner Colin suddenly asks, "Katrina, why haven"t you visited Marcellus recently?"
The question makes Katrina falter, and her hands stop moving.
They haven"t been in touch with the breakup. She had deleted Marcellus"s contact information in an attempt to get rid of him.
After two weeks, Marcellus must have gotten discharged already.
Back when she was with Marcellus, they used to talk on the phone every day. But now, it"s as if he doesn"t exist anymore. Her colleagues would definitely notice that something is different. No wonder her partner is curious. They used to see Katrina and Marcellus being together.
Noticing Katrina stiffens, Colin realizes that he was tactless.
Katrina and Marcellus might have fought. No wonder she looks so sad and not in the mood recently.
Even if it"s possible, Katrina"s private life is her business, and no one has any right to ask intruding questions. Besides, Katrina might be sad for a different reason, and his question would only make her unhappier.
Colin smiles awkwardly. "Oh, the captain seems to be calling me, I"ll go ahead." He stands up, ready to leave.
Katrina knows Colin doesn"t want to continue the conversation for fear of saying something that would hurt her.
But she and Marcellus have been separated for half a month already. They are never getting back together. She has to face the fact sooner or later. In the end, everyone will find out anyway.
Katrina purses her lips and says in calmly, "Marcellus and I broke up."
"What?" Colin whips around and looks at Katrina incredulously. "What do you mean you"ve broken up?"
Katrina"s announcement is a shock to everyone at the police station. They all stop what they are doing to listen to the news. Everyone originally thought that Katrina and Marcellus are only having a fight. Even if a couple gets along well, they are still bound to disagree sometimes.
But unexpectedly, they have skipped the cold war and have already broken up.
Katrina"s colleagues witnessed Katrina and Marcellus"s relations.h.i.+p develop from the beginning. They"re a sweet couple who gets along well. They seemed perfect for each other. And everyone expected that the two of them would get married.
"Katrina, why did you suddenly break up? Don"t get me wrong. We want to know the reason behind,"
It is completely unprecedented. They seemed to be getting along well, and there wasn"t even a sign that there was a conflict in their relations.h.i.+p. But now they have apparently broken up.
Katrina smiles and says lightly, "No particular reason. Marcellus is perfect, but it seems we are not meant to be. Our life status doesn"t seem to be matched with each other,"
Her explanation is simple. Although everyone feels very bad about the breakup, they stop asking questions.
Even if Katrina and Marcellus seem perfect for each other, only the couple would know if they are compatible or not. No one has the right to ask for more details or to persuade them to get back together again. They have to respect their decision.
Even though they have broken up, Katrina still speaks highly of Marcellus. She doesn"t seem bitter about the breakup at all.
An amicable breakup is the best way to end a relations.h.i.+p if a couple discovers that they don"t suit each other well. It"s better than a bad breakup where the couple is bitter about each other.
But in any case, breaking up is still a shame. She couldn"t prevent getting hurt slightly.
Colin pats Katrina on the shoulder in comfort. "Don"t worry, Katrina. You"re a natural beauty with a kind heart. You will meet a man who is perfect for you. And at the right time, he will be your husband,"
Katrina smiles at the kind words. "Thank you."
Colin scratches his head with some embarra.s.sment. "It"s true."
Katrina is not only beautiful in appearance, but also in her personality. All her colleagues like her very much. Her sweet att.i.tude makes everyone around her feel happy.
Everyone else goes back to work, and Katrina turns to her report and resumes typing on the computer.
After a while, the landline phone on Katrina"s desk rings. Thinking it"s her captain calling to a.s.sign work, Katrina answers the phone without a second thought. "h.e.l.lo."
A familiar voice responds, "Katrina, are you free tonight? Let"s meet after work. About breaking up. It"s better to talk about it in person because I wanted to know your reason,"
Katrina hasn"t been in touch with Marcellus for a long time. Hearing his voice, all of a sudden is strange, and it seems to have a hint of sadness. He must have had a hard time coping with the breakup.
Hearing Marcellus"s voice makes Katrina feel horrible. She is the reason he is depressed and hurting. He has always been an elegant gentleman with a sunny disposition. This is the first time for Katrina to hear him sound so hopeless.
This time, Katrina doesn"t have the heart to refuse him again.
She thought that Marcellus had finally moved on, but she doesn"t expect him to call her at work, hoping to meet up and talk things over. He hasn"t given up on her.
Katrina doesn"t know how he spent the past two weeks, but she thinks that talking to him in person might help him move on completely.
After a few seconds of silence, she finally responds, "Okay, where are you? I"ll come to meet you after work."
Hearing Katrina"s response makes Marcellus feel optimistic. Even his voice is suddenly full of life, and it doesn"t sound as depressed as before. If she can agree to meet him, there"s still a chance to get back together.
"Katrina, please wait for me at the station. I"ll pick you up after work!"
Katrina immediately refuses, "No, let"s meet somewhere else."
She has already broken up with Marcellus. It"s not appropriate to ask him to come over and pick her up. It would send the wrong message.
