00:25then a nightmare happened my family went bankrupt overnight that same night he walked away
00:32no goodbye no looking back just gone for years later everything changed i'm a waitress at a
00:40stripper club working to pay off debts and him he's the new king of silicon valley
00:46for all these years i never thought i'd run into ryan like this i kept my head down when serving
00:52the drinks trying to hide tella was sitting right next to him they look perfect together
00:58i thought bitterly waitress slice up these oranges i turned my back to him and started slicing
01:04the orange juice splashed on my hands long ago whenever i craved oranges ryan would always
01:11slice for me his cuts were perfect slice was exactly the same back then i actually thought
01:17he loved me later i realized he was just a sweet person when he sliced those oranges he
01:24would think about codes scholarships and bills this month he thought about everything except
01:28me four years apart felt like a lifetime suddenly they started talking about college romances someone
01:35said i heard you had a girlfriend back then ryan my hand froze i heard you had a girlfriend back
01:43then ryan my hand froze yeah wow four years basically all of college ryan didn't respond it must be
01:53unforgettable right ryan stayed silent swirling the wine in his glass after a long pause he gave a faint
02:00cold smile not really believe me he couldn't stand that girl stella joked i went to the same college
02:10with them that girl was a totally nightmare if she hadn't been in the way ryan i would have been
02:16together years ago so true stella is killing it on social media the ex is old news compared to her
02:26the room is filled with laughter again i grabbed the tray wanting to get out of there suddenly the
02:32knife slips out the sound drew everyone's attention what is wrong with you can't you even cut fruit
02:38i'm so sorry i'll go get a new one wait ryan's voice stopped me cold turn around he spoke slowly
02:48one word at a time i froze i felt like i was nailed to the floor turn around i froze
02:57just then the manager stepped in i'm so sorry she's new this tray is on the homes today go get
03:06a new one
03:07now i finally escaped the room be more careful next time if they complain you're working for nothing
03:18tonight thank you that vip room is full of big shots especially that young ceo we cannot afford to
03:28offend him i'm scared could you deliver the oranges for me sure
03:36i stood in the hallway realized something bitter i am the nightmare x they were talking about
03:45i still remember our freshman year ryan stood in the crowd in his faded old clothes
03:51he was totally an outsider but he was the only one i saw until last week when he suddenly showed
03:58up
03:59i loved his cold calm voice when he was talking to me and i loved the way he looked down
04:05at me
04:07ryan was desperate for money back then
04:10so one night after class i grabbed his hand i like you ryan be with me i have money we
04:18can share
04:19i could even pay you for one night
04:22no he said no of course but i was young and spoiled i didn't know the word lose meant
04:32the more he said no no the harder i chased him
04:38everything changed when his grandfather got sick without thinking i paid all the medical bills
04:47that was the moment ryan finally gave in i was so stupid i thought i was being a hero
04:57it took me a long time to realize i got the man
05:05but i crushed his soul
05:11even after we started dating he worked every single day he barely touched my money but things
05:17got worse people started to spread rumors they said he have sold himself i was so naive i just held
05:24his hand and said ignore them i lived in my own little world never realized ryan was fighting his
05:29war all alone senior year my family lost everything i didn't tell him the truth i just called him out
05:36and said let's break up why i'm bored of you fine as you wish just like that we were over
05:44i figured he was
05:46happy to finally be free the day we broke up i changed my phone and left town to pay off
05:51the debts
05:52i didn't move back until three months ago ryan looks amazing now he was always a genius the top
05:58of our class only four years after graduation he's a tech mogul on the cover of fortune magazines now
06:04and stella she was our prom queen became a famous influencer i never expected them to be together
06:10they look good together
06:14they look good together standing by the elevator i tried to swallow the bitterness in my chest
06:20it was 4 a.m when i finished my shift i was the last one out of the club the
06:26lights were off and the
06:27elevator wasn't running i kept hitting the button hoping for a miracle you should call security a voice
06:32said behind me i looked back and there he was ryan i called my hands shaking the elevator opened we
06:42stood
06:42together in the tiny quiet space you always get off the slate he asked casually we leave when the last
06:48guest leaves does it pay well it's okay i kept my head down he acted like i was a total
06:54stranger
06:54chatting away as if nothing happened this elevator is slow my girlfriend is waiting for me she must be
06:59worried my heart skipped a beat he was talking about stella what about you working so late doesn't your

09:10onto mine instantly what are you doing here working my boss looked surprised chloe do you know mr warren
09:19we've met met that's new to me he was upset but i didn't know why he was the one who

09:33i want chloe as my private assistant of course absolutely my boss agreed before i could say a word

09:52could be
09:52more important than your work i have another job i have to go deliver food now ryan just stared at
10:00me in
10:01total shock i used to be so spoiled i was the kind of person who wouldn't even touch takeout back
10:07in
10:07college ryan spent all his after school hours delivering food his dinner was usually just a
10:12cheap free meal provided by the delivery company one day i went to find him i saw him squeezed into
10:18a tiny room with a bunch of other uber eat drivers they were all just shoving food into their mouths
10:23from plastic boxes i said ryan how can you eat that it's so unhealthy he looked so uncomfortable
10:32he looked at me and asked does it really matter if it's healthy come on let's go grab some steak
10:38i dragged him to a new steakhouse where a meal costs over 100 bucks he stood at the door for
10:45a
10:45long time then he silently took off his delivery uniform it wasn't until my family lost everything
10:52that i finally understood how he felt that day and i understood his pain just like i felt today
10:59it started snowing on the street the ground was so slippery and the food spilled everywhere
11:06i called the customer to explain but he just screamed at me
11:12hello i'm so sorry it's snowing and the roads are icy i fell off my bike and the food spilled
11:19don't make
11:19excuses you're late i'm so sorry i'm so sorry my palms were cracked and bleeding it hurt so badly but
11:26i
11:27didn't have time to care suddenly ryan appeared and grabbed my bike i had no idea how long he'd
11:32been standing there watching me i reflexively hid my hands behind my back stop hiding them i saw
11:40them go wash them right now his voice was raspy and his eyes were bloodshot i have to deliver the
11:46food
11:47first get in the car i'll take you the customer lived on the first floor when i handed him the
11:53meal
11:54he grumbled what the a porsche driver delivering takeout i checked my phone i had to pick up the next
12:01order
12:03stop don't go i can't i haven't made enough money tonight then i'll buy it then i'll buy it what
12:10i can't
12:11believe what i heard he reached into his coat and pulled out a thick stack of cash he didn't even
12:17count it
12:18he just pressed the money into my bleeding hands i'm buying your time for the rest of the night the
12:24porsche pulled up to ryan's house he opened the door for me i stepped out hesitantly standing at his
12:31front door i stopped stella wouldn't like it i refused to go inside you're still worried about her
12:36look at yourself you're a mess my palms were torn up and my clothes were soaked with dirty melted snow
12:44and look at this house does it look like a woman lives here you guys aren't living together
12:50i was never even with her ryan pulled out a contract and handed it to me six months ago she
12:57came to me
12:57for a deal she didn't want to be harassed by all those scumbags so she asked me to play her
13:03fake
13:04boyfriend he explained further making sure i understood and some gold diggers like to target
13:09tech ceos like us it's annoying stella could help me get rid of them as well i opened the contract
13:16and the words practically jumped off the page no interference in each other's private lives
13:23ryan took my hand and started treating my wounds then i saw a row of unopened hand creams on the
13:29shelf
13:30it was my favorite brand ryan had bought the entire set i talked to your co-works today
13:36you don't have a boyfriend you even told everyone you were single last week

14:00you you love taking pictures and you're telling me you don't have a single photo with your new man
14:06you just reminded me i'll take one next time and show it to you ryan let out a cold frustrated
14:13laugh
14:15suddenly he leaned over he pushed me back onto the couch trapping me completely
14:19i couldn't move even through my sweater i could feel the heat radiating from his body
14:27i bought your time for tonight i'll give your money back ryan i'm really getting married
14:33his hand slid down my shoulder slowly until he reached my wrist he stopped getting married and
14:39yet you're still wearing the bracelet your ex-boyfriend sent you that doesn't seem right does it i looked
14:44down there was a thin chain on my wrist over the years it had lost its shine it was the
14:49very first
14:50gift ryan ever gave me i was 19 and the world was different then there was a week i barely
14:56saw him
14:56except for classes he was working every part-time job he could find he was working harder than ever
15:02on my birthday my parents threw a party for me at a fancy restaurant i invited ryan but he didn't
15:08show up
15:08i waited and waited finally when the party was over my phone rang i'm outside the restaurant i walked
15:17out in the middle of a heavy snowstorm there he was standing tall and straight he looked exhausted
15:23just like i do today his cheap yellow delivery uniform was covered in mud back then i didn't
15:29know what's happening all i did was complain about him being late ryan just smiled and rubbed my hair
15:35he told me he got me a gift it was a simple bracelet but i knew it was way more
15:40than he could afford i
15:41loved it so much that i couldn't wait to put it on and for years i never took it off
15:45my parents called
15:46me from inside the restaurant who are you talking to they asked who i was talking to they never liked
15:51ryan they thought he was too poor for me when i turned back around ryan was already gone disappearing

16:21brands i used to love does he still care about me or is he just trying to humiliate me i
16:27couldn't
16:27figure it out before i knew it tears started rolling down my face ryan froze he looked completely
16:33panicked he could never handle it when i cried that's the one thing about him that hasn't changed
