Chapter 3The Graveyard Switch

In the departure lounge, I opened my phone and scrolled through Lilly and Jason’s posts.

They were apparently on a trip together.

The pictures showed them looking cozy and intimate.

I zoned out for a moment.

My relationship with Jason started a year ago. A classmate dragged me to a fortune teller, and Lilly and Jason happened to be there too.

They overheard my Bazi. Soon after, Jason started aggressively pursuing me.

At first, I didn’t understand. Now I realize Jason was after my birth chart.

He approached me for Lilly’s sake.

Looking at the couple now, I smiled and closed my phone.

When the plane landed, I was picked up right away.

They had everything arranged for me.

Since it was a classified unit, security was top-notch. I saw patrols everywhere when I checked in.

This reassured me immensely.

After completing the onboarding process, my boss told me I could start next week and use the next few days to settle in.

Only then did I truly relax and crash onto the bed.

A full day of running around had left me exhausted. I fell asleep instantly.

In a daze, I heard my phone ring. It was Jason.

His voice on the phone was urgent: “Chloe, you need to come to the hospital right now!”

“What?”

I paused, then realized it was Jason.

“Jason, is something wrong?” I asked, feigning concern.

“Chloe, Lilly and I were in a car accident. We’re both in the hospital. You have to come here!” Jason’s voice was frantic.

“Jason, I’m sorry, I can’t make it.” I replied. “I found a job and I’ve already moved away.”

The second I said that, Jason roared into the phone: “Chloe, what are you talking about?”

“You hadn’t found a job! And I saw you just yesterday!”

“I know you’re upset because Lilly and I went on a trip! Chloe, stop being dramatic and get over here!” Jason yelled, furious.

I replied calmly: “Jason, I really did find a job.”

“And I realized you probably care more about Lilly.”

“So, Jason, we should break up.”

I hung up immediately, not giving Jason a chance to react.

My relationship with Jason was over.

After all, they were the ones headed for disaster now. My luck was back.

After hanging up, I tried to go back to sleep, but Jason called again.

I frowned at his number and switched my phone off completely.

Now, I could finally get some rest.
