Leaving You Was My Best Decision Novel – It took Emily ten long years to work her way into Alexander’s orbit. From an anonymous girl with a secret crush to the fiancée he’d publicly acknowledged. Yet, just two weeks before their wedding, she decided she didn’t want it anymore. “Senior, I’m volunteering to transfer to the research center at the New Mexico branch. Add my name to the list.” Emily set the signed application form on the desk, her voice steady.
The man behind the computer looked up, his face etched with disbelief. “Emily? I thought you and Alexander were getting married next month.” “We all know you joined this research center just to be close to him. You’re finally about to tie the knot—why transfer to New Mexico now, of all times?”Emily swallowed the lump in her throat, cutting off his well-meaning persuasion.
“Senior, please approve it.” Everyone around her knew how hard she’d fought these past years to stay by Alexander’s side. She’d turned down promotions to be his assistant. He’d rejected all physical contact, but she’d possessed a patience that bordered on the superhuman. It had taken a decade for him to grow accustomed to her presence—to let her handle every trivial detail of his life and shield him from unnecessary social interactions.
To the outside world, Alexander treated her differently. The reclusive prodigy who kept everyone at arm’s length remembered her birthday without fail. He’d even made an exception once, letting her stay in the break room when she’d been sick. But only Emily knew the truth. The birthday gift had been a lump-sum transfer—he’d simply couldn’t be bothered to pick out something personal.
