< I got a new phone and moved to a new city .
I wasnt running away from Greg .
I saw an email from my professor .
Before I married Greg , I was in grad school .
I was a chemistry major .
I was the best student , my professors favorite .
But I gave up my PhD to marry Greg and take care of him .
My professor was disappointed , but he didnt stop me .
Г He still thought I was wasting my potential , so he sent me papers .
He wanted me to keep learning .
I used to read them , but then I got busy and forgot .
I opened it and saw that he was still sending them two years ago .
I emailed him .
We were both surprised , but he didnt ask me why I left .
He just asked if I wanted to see the lab .
Graduates go back to see their professors .
} L The lab was the same .
He knew I was alone , so he asked me to be his TA .
He was getting old , and he needed help .
I said yes .
I hadnt worked in eight years .
Its hard to find a job .
I hadnt read a book in a long time , so I had to study .
But I was catching up .
Being a TA wasnt hard .
I helped him with paperwork and talked to companies .
< I used to hear Greg on the phone .
Now , it was easy for me .
Talking to investors wasnt hard either .
But then I ran into Greg .
11 .
I had left Greg half a month ago .
The hearing was in a while .
I didnt contact him , and he didnt contact me .

He probably knew where I was , but he was probably happy with Brittany .
I heard people gossiping at the restaurant .
Г They said their boss was getting a divorce and had been a mess for the past two weeks .
Even Miss Brittany couldnt help him .
He kicked her out .
What ? I thought he loved her .
Yeah , he didnt have to come to , but he did .
I dont know why .
I didnt think it was Greg .
Greg being depressed over me and dumping Brittany was impossible .
It was just a myth .
I walked in and saw Brittany .
She was leaning back in her chair , looking fancy .
An investor was pouring her tea .
She saw me , and gave the investor a look .
He walked over to me and sat down .
Why did you send a woman to talk to us ? Do you know chemistry ? Do you know what this order is for ? I took a deep breath .
If this is how your company is , I dont think we should work together .
The investor was angry .
Г Why are we talking about investments here ? Are we talking about investments or chemistry ? If I talk about chemical formulas , would you understand ? Do you remember oxidation ? I talked about molecules , the advantages and disadvantages of our lab , the progress .
The investor didnt understand .
If you dont know anything , dont ask me .
Ill talk to your engineers .
Brittanys face changed .
Then I realized Greg was standing behind me .
く He had been listening since I started talking .
He remembered the first time he saw me .
I was arguing with my classmate about the catalyst .
He was waiting for me outside .
I thought I looked bad , but he thought I was attractive .
Thats when he fell in love with me .
But then he turned me into someone else .
The investor was angry .
He pointed at me and said I was a fake .
How can a woman know chemistry ? She was going to get her PhD .
Shes published more papers than youve signed contracts .
Greg walked over and put his hand on my shoulder .
She doesnt know ? Do you know ? The investor said , Mr.
Greg … So , you know her .
Shes my wife .
Greg said , looking at me like he did something great .
Im not .
12 .
Gregs smile disappeared .
He was going to say something , but someone took his hand off my shoulder .
A man walked in , smiling .
Youre Mr.
Fus TA ? Im Mr.
Xie , your classmate .
I had heard about it from the teacher , this Mr.
Xie would be in overseas labs .
Ive seen your experiments .
Ive been wanting to meet you .
I believe you can help make this project perfect .
I nodded , stood next to Mr.
Xie , and got away from Greg .
Honey , dont be mad .
Everyones watching .
Greg reached out to me , but I dodged it .
Г Dont .
Miss Brittanys watching .
Were not divorced yet , so its not right .
Dont flatter yourself .
Mr.
Xie clapped his hands , scaring me .
Shes right .
Divorced men should be quiet .
Mr.
Xie was an important guy .
Everyone wanted him to work on this project , so they didnt say anything .
Greg couldnt believe it .
He just stood there .
Brittany grabbed his arm , but he didnt move .
The meal was bad .
L But the business was done .
Greg left Brittany and came over to me .
He started to speak , he wasnt the old Greg .
Are you going back to the lab ? Ill take you .
I was going to say no , but Mr.
Xie said , Im already on my way with my classmate .
That made Greg mad .
Youre going to be with him all night ? I didnt know that , but I nodded .
Were not divorced yet ! How ridiculous .
< You and Brittany went out when we werent divorced either .
That was business ! This is business too .
I said , tugging on Mr.
Xies clothes , and left with him .
It started raining .
I didnt turn around .
I didnt know if Greg was still there .
But I didnt hear him following me .
13 .
Mr.
Xie wasnt lying about working all night .
The project was short on time .
We had to work overtime .
We had to stay up all night and watch the centrifuge .
Repeating it over and over .
Mr.
Xie took me out .
There was fried chicken .
You didnt eat much .
I ordered you takeout .
Let the students do it for a bit .
Eat before you go back .
I laughed .
Take it inside and share it .
Mr.
Xie shook his head .
I ordered extra for them .
Its not here yet .
I couldnt refuse .
We ate fried chicken in the hallway , like we were back in school .
We werent allowed to eat in the lab , so we ate takeout in the hallway .
The teacher always found out .
Mr.
Xie had done that too .
We remembered our time in grad school .
We laughed and remembered more .
Then Greg walked up to us , interrupting our conversation .
He was holding a thermos .
< You didnt eat enough .
Youll get a stomachache .
He remembered .
I used to skip meals when I was doing experiments , and my stomach was bad .
When we were dating , he would rub my stomach .
I already ate .
Take it back .
Greg looked anxious.
Are you going to push me away ? Cant you give me a chance ? I shook my head .
Г Mr.
Xie stood up and looked him up and down .
Bro , you dont have to pretend .
Ive heard that story before .
Shes already given you so many chances .
Go away .
Otherwise , Im calling the cops .
No ones allowed in the lab .
If I lose any data … Mr.
Xie was threatening him .
Greg probably had a way to get in , but Mr.
Xie wasnt going to let him .
It would be too much trouble .
く My divorce hearing was in half a month .
I got the divorce certificate .
Greg had been waiting for me at the lab .
But I didnt go see him .
I felt relieved .
He followed me , trying to get me back .
But Mr.
Xies car was outside the courthouse .
He was dressed nicely , he said to celebrate my happiness .
If you dont go , youll miss your flight .
Greg looked surprised .
Where are you going ? Its none of your business .
I was just going on a trip with my classmate , but I didnt need to explain .
I got in his car .
I was going far away .
