My Boyfriend Set Me Up with Someone

I chased after Jake Burton for eight years, only to break up with him when I saw he had saved his ex-girlfriend's contact as "Baby." Her name was Janet Flynn.

"Just because I forgot to change the contact name?"

I stared at Jake's mocking smile and nodded.

His friends said I was narrow-minded and overreacted, but I just kept my gaze on Jake without saying a word.

Jake's dark eyes seemed to be covered with frost. After a moment, he simply sneered, "Fine. Let's break up. Just don't come back to me and cry to plead with me to get back together."

Everyone in the room erupted in laughter.

I pushed open the door, clutched the pathology report in my coat pocket, and walked into the night.

I had wanted to weave a beautiful dream for the last moments of my life.

But I shouldn't force love. It was even more bitter than the medicine I took.

So I decided to end the relationship between Jake and me.

1.

"Jake, why don't you call Janet and tell her you miss her?"

At Jake's company celebration party, a young employee called his ex-girlfriend and wanted to get back together with her after he was emboldened by alcohol.

Mack shouted for Jake to call Janet at that moment. He seemed to have drunk a lot as well.

Jake opened his slightly drunken eyes and laughed and let them get lost.

It didn't have much impact. The crowd egged him on even more. One daring person teased, "Make the call and say we all miss your girlfriend."

The other company employees looked at me, puzzled.

Jake's girlfriend was publicly me now, so who was the girlfriend they were talking about?

They were confused but hesitant to ask. I raised my glass, took a big gulp, and swallowed the bitter liquid down my throat.

I had a crush on Jake for six years, dated him for two, but I still couldn't get his friends' recognition.

Mack glanced at me with bad intentions and said, "I dare not call Janet because someone is here, Jake?"

Jake chuckled and said, "What dare I not do?"

He took out his phone, dialed the number saved under "Baby."

Mack jeered again. "Oh, it's still Baby. Jake, you're quite shameless!"

Seeing the contact name, I was a little sad.

I had dated Jake for two years, but he always saved my number as the cold and distant name, Jenna Reed.

I thought he wasn't the type for romantic surprises.
