---- Chapter 6 I called the police. It didn't take long before two police officers showed up and took Thomas away. Later, Thomas sent me a text message that read, "I know you still have me in your heart. You're unwilling to look at me because I hurt you so deeply five years ago. That's alright. I'll prove my sincerity to you!" I replied, "You guessed wrong. I already havea boyfriend, and our relationship is going very smoothly. We're going to get engaged after meeting each other's parents. Don't look for me anymore." I was telling him the truth. During the five years I was part of the confidential research team, I fell in love with the military officer who was in charge of security at the research base, Xavier Sparks. We started dating three years ago. Thomas didn't believe me. "You're telling me this because you're still angry, aren't you? We dated for ten years and were each other's first loves. I don't believe that you've fallen for someone else. I know ---- that I failed to cherish you in the past, but I'll prove to you that I can change with my actions!" Ino longer cared if he was capable of change. I blocked his number, brushed my teeth and washed my face, and went to sleep. The next day, I got up early as usual for a morning run. However, when I opened the door, I saw Thomas standing outside. "T knew you would be up early to go for a run. I woke up at 4:00 am to prepare some food for you. Once you're done with your run, you can eat it." "No need." I pushed the food he offered me back to him. "I don't want to have anything to do with my ex- boyfriend. My current boyfriend will get upset." Thomas didn't seem to be bothered by my icy response. He smiled and said, "You can stop lying to me. I asked around-you were alone when you came back this time." "T didn't lie to you. He's a military officer, so he has to submit a report if he wants to get married. Once his ---- report is approved, he's going to join me here." Due to his unique position, the process for Xavier's marriage review was more complicated. Furthermore, asmall error had come up with the information he'd prepared. He had no choice but to resubmit the information, which further delayed his arrival. Thomas burst into a fit of laughter. "Fine, fine. I'll just pretend that you're telling me the truth. I'll happily take on the role of your kept lover to show you how true my love is, alright?" He offered the box of food to me again. "You're sick in the head!" I snapped as I tossed the box into the trash bin. Surprise washed over Thomas' face before it morphed into hurt. I kept my face fixed in an impassive mask as I said, " Don't do these things. It's completely unnecessary." I stepped around him to start my morning run. Thomas chased after me and declared, "I won't give Discover our latest featured short drama reel.
