Listening to the Rain as We Part

For two years, Sarah believed she was more than an assistant to her boss, Alexander. Then, on their second anniversary, she finds a checklist on his phone: twenty-five requirements for his perfect girlfriend, and she meets none of them. When a new hire, Isabella Knight, arrives for an interview, every answer she gives ticks a box on that list.

Alexander hires Isabella as his new executive assistant and transfers Sarah to the marketing department, a dead end. After five years of devotion, Sarah signs the transfer, writes her resignation, and tells Alexander they are through. His reply is cold: he never called her his girlfriend, and she never met his standards. Their arrangement, he says, is terminated.

When Sarah returns to his apartment for her ID, Isabella calls the police, and Sarah is arrested as a burglar. Alexander arrives days later with Isabella on his arm and denies any bond between them. Sarah must decide what is left of her life once the rain of this love has passed.
