: Breakup
2
Not even complete and utter humiliation could derail my plan to break up with him!
So I quickly pulled away from the man in the white coat, getting into character as my eyes started to redden.
"Ian Alastair, so you're still thinking about your ex-girlfriend, aren't you?"
"I have a fever, and I had to come see a doctor all by myself."
"I was so delirious from the fever I mistook someone else for you. And you? You were busy taking care of another woman?"
Ian Alastair was silent for a moment, his deep gaze falling upon me.
"You have a fever?"
'He has some conscience after all, still asking if I have a fever at a time like this.'
But I wasn't about to go soft. I turned and pointed to the doctor with the charming eyes, who was still standing behind me, and began to lie with a perfectly straight face, "The doctor just examined me..."
He sized me up with a glance. "Yes, she does have a fever."
'I didn't expect the man in the white coat to be so cooperative. I almost choked on my next line.'
Under Ian Alastair's piercing gaze, I managed to plaster a heartbroken expression on my face and said, word by word, "Ian Alastair, let's break up."
I don't know if it was my imagination.
I saw the handsome man in the white coat raise an eyebrow.

'What's it got to do with him?'
