Hearing Vivian say so, William relaxed his brows and took a sip of coffee from the table.
After William finished the breakfast and went out, she began to clean the apartment. With a freshener to cover up their own perfume, she made sure the apartment without any traces of them, and then just pushed the suitcase to leave.
Vivian left the building, pushing the suitcase and walked along a path through the bamboo forest to another unit.
A year ago, she pooled enough money to buy an apartment in this neighborhood, two units away from William's. Perhaps she had guessed it, so she bought it next to him out of selfishness.
After arriving at the apartment, she took out the clothes and put them in the closet to hang them up. Then she went to the bathroom to wash her face. She stared at herself in the mirror for a long time and then said, "It's been four years.

Vivian, who works in a brand shoe store and was promoted to the district chief at the beginning of this year, spends most of her time in William’s house, with the exception of a two-month peak season when the store needs her help.
