Third person's POV

In a nearby cafe.

Howard and Rowena sat by the window. Rowena was staring at a corner of the park, while Howard was looking at her.

"I heard you resigned. Why?" Howard stirred the coffee in his cup, asking her in a low voice.

"No reason. I just felt tired and wanted to rest," Rowena replied.

"Was it because of me? My mother exposed our relationship and made things awkward for you at work." Howard's voice was filled with guilt and self-blame. Though Rowena did not say anything or blame him, he knew. That was the reason she resigned.

Rowena was silent. She couldn't get those humiliating words from her colleagues out of her head.

"It turns out that she wants to marry into a rich family. How ambitious!"

"That's right. I have no idea that she was secretly dating Mr. Twitty. She hid it so well. If Mr. Twitty's mother hadn't come to the company to make a scene, none of us would have known."

"I heard that she comes from a shabby family. How could she possibly be worthy of Mr. Twitty and his noble family? He is so out of her league!"

"I heard she was beaten up!"

"She deserves it. People who do not know their place deserve to be punished. So, they'll learn to behave."

Howard suddenly reached out and grabbed Rowena's hands, which were clenched tightly on the table. She was startled and pulled her hands back.

"Yvonne agreed. Rowena, can we start over again?" Seeing how quickly she drew her hands away, Howard became concerned and told her why he had come to see her.

She said, "Howard, I agreed to see you, because I had something to tell you, too. Let's break up. This time, for good. We shouldn't see each
