Never Tired of Mr. Leon's Love

"Yeah, I decided to move out the moment I resigned."

To Lucy, she seemed to understand it as, 'There's nothing here worth holding onto.'

"I've been wanting to leave for a while. You have no idea how awful the landlady here is. Every time rent is due, she raises the price. I even dread talking to her now.

"I always pay on time, yet she still does this. It's not like the location of this place is that great either. The faucet in the bathroom is broken, and whenever I ask her to fix it, she makes excuses, so I end up having to pay for repairs myself." Chloe moved all the boxes to the front door and clapped her hands together. "If it weren't for the fact that the landlady knew I desperately wanted to rent this place, she wouldn't have raised the rent that much."

Chloe's place was situated in a semi-suburban area, and it was over an hour's drive from the city center. Even with the subway, it was inconvenient. There were no malls nearby, and getting groceries was a long walk away. "Why didn't you find a better place in the first place?"

"If not for Hudson..."

Chloe paused to regain her composure and said, "Back then, when Hudson wanted some peace and quiet, he abandoned his large villa and rented a house nearby. To be closer to him, I rented a place in the same area. "Later, he got bored, so he left after just two months. Meanwhile, I had paid a full year's deposit that I couldn't get back. Convincing the landlady to let me move out was a real struggle."

Chloe knew Hudson too well. Aside from his work, he had little patience for anything else. Not only did he have a short attention span, but if he got upset about something, he would not hesitate to just drop everything and leave. Only after spending time with him did Lucy realize how unbearable his temper could be.

"I had a good job at the company, but because of the rent, I couldn't save much money each month. Still, I was happy because I was willing to do anything for him."

Chloe opened up about her past with Hudson without holding back at all.

Only her past self could have endured the countless 'obstacles' Hudson created for her.

"I had no idea you suffered so much..."

"It's not that bad. I didn't really suffer. Late well and slept well. I may have faced tons of rejections from Hudson while pursuing him, but I still found joy in it."

Reflecting on those days, Chloe remembered that Hudson never gave her a definitive rejection.. Seeing as they were 'friends,' he would sometimes even exchange a few words with her.

"I was quite content back then. I didn't ask for more. I just hoped things would stay that way."

However, dreams were not made to last...

"Um... Chloe... Lucy grabbed her wrist and continued, "Why don't you continue staying here for now? Since you've paid a year's deposit, breaking the contract would mean losing the money for nothing

Lucy did not want Chloe to leave like this. At the same time, she was also fulfilling the small favor she promised Hudson as she could not go back on her word.

"But I..."

"Don't run away and stay here for now. I don't think you should resign either. Just focus on your work."
