---- Chapter 8 Delusional Woman We finally got divorced a month later. Everyone was happy for me. They congratulated me. "Let's go out for a feast tonight. Been a while since we had a proper meal." "Dinner's on me!" said our leader. Three months had gone by since we last had a gathering. This time, I had more friends with me. Of course, drinks were always a mainstay, and everyone got tipsy by the end of it. They needed help just to get back to their dorms. I followed them, forlorn yet expecting something. Then someone behind me patted my shoulder. I turned around only to be greeted with a beaming Natalie. She said, "Congratulations. You got out of a toxic marriage." Ismiled dryly, but I said nothing. Natalie caught my look and asked, "Are you... sad?" ---- "Yeah." "Because of Lorelei?" I nodded. I spent five years in love with her. It was not going to be easy, forgetting her. A sigh escaped my lips. "I can deal with this later. The research comes first." Natalie nodded. "Yeah, you can and you should. Tell you what, there's going to be good news tomorrow." She then caught up with the other colleagues. I saw them off. These people went through thick and thin with me. The next day, I got to the lab, and everyone cheered. "Awesome! This theory's going to superboost our progress!" They noticed me coming in, and everyone surrounded me. "You and Natalie are geniuses, Jon!" I looked at them, dumbfounded. A smiling Natalie ---- handed mea report. "This is your previous research. I swapped one of the materials for something else." I went through the report, and the results were magnificent. "Incredible! If we can have a breakthrough, it's going to help our research a ton! Ingenious, Natalie!" Natalie's smile never left her lips. "Oh, I can't take all the credit. I just extracted it from your work." After that day, we put more effort into our work. Before we knew it, three years had gone by, and the research was nearing its end. My leader was glad and proud. Proud of me and Natalie. "I knew getting you two onboard was the right move. The research will bear fruit soon enough, and both of you will be known as pillars of the nation." Natalie and I exchanged a smile. Three years brought us closer together. Our chemistry was never better. Most of the time, one look was all we needed to know what the other would do. My leader wouldn't stop smiling at us.
