00:20and he slept with me but eventually he hated every second of the four years
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 i thought
00:58bitterly waitress slice up these oranges i turned my back to him and started slicing the orange juice
01:05splashed on my hands long ago whenever i craved oranges ryan would always slice for me his cuts
01:12were perfect slice was exactly the same back then i actually thought he loved me later i realized he
01:20was just a sweet person when he sliced those oranges he would think about codes scholarships
01:25and bills this month he thought about everything except me four years apart felt like a lifetime
01:31suddenly they started talking about college romances someone said i heard you had a girlfriend
01:36back then ryan my hand froze i heard you had a girlfriend back then ryan my hand froze yeah
01:47wow four years basically all of college ryan didn't respond it must be unforgettable right
01:54ryan stayed silent swirling the wine in his glass after a long pause he gave a faint cold smile not
02:01really believe me he couldn't stand that girl stella joked i went to the same college with them
02:11that girl was a totally nightmare if she hadn't been in the way ryan i would have been together years
02:17ago so true stella is killing it on social media the ex is old news compared to her the room
02:27is filled
02:28with laughter again i grabbed the tray wanting to get out of there suddenly the knife slipped out the
02:34sound drew everyone's attention what is wrong with you can't you even cut fruit i'm so sorry i'll go
02:40get a new one wait ryan's voice stopped me cold turn around he spoke slowly one word at a time
02:49i froze i felt like i was nailed to the floor turn around i froze just then the manager stepped
02:59in
02:59i'm so sorry she's new this tray is on the homes today go get a new one now
03:09i 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
03:28to offend 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 so one night after class i grabbed his hand
04:13i like you ryan be with me i have money we can share i could even pay you for one
04:21night
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
04:43without thinking i paid all the medical bills that was the moment ryan finally gave in
04:50i 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 got worse
05:17people started to spread rumors they said he have sold himself i was so naive i just held his hand
05:24and
05:24said ignore them i lived in my own little world never realized ryan was fighting his war all alone
05:30senior year my family lost everything i didn't tell him the truth i just called him out and said let's
05:36break up why i'm bored of you fine as you wish just like that we were over i figured he
05:45was happy to
05:46finally be free the day we broke up i changed my phone and left town to pay off the debts
05:52i didn't
05:53move back until three months ago ryan looks amazing now he was always a genius the top of our class

06:53a total stranger
06:54chatting away as if nothing happened this elevator is slow my girlfriend is waiting for me she must be

08:56but every
08:56big investor is chasing him i grabbed my files and headed to the meeting i heard a familiar voice inside
09:04i need to rethink this partnership i pushed the door open and set the files down ryan's eyes locked onto
09:10mine 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
09:25walked away
09:26first ryan pointed at me and looked at my boss i'm willing to sign provided there's a small condition
09:33i want chloe as my private assistant of course absolutely my boss agreed before i could say a word
09:39then he had me run coffee back and forth while they talked business until sunset at pm i grabbed my
09:46bag to
09:46leave where are you going i didn't say you could leave i can't work late today mr warren what could
09:52be
09:52more important than your work i have another job i have to go deliver food now ryan just stared at
10:00me
10:01in total shock i used to be so spoiled i was the kind of person who wouldn't even touch takeout
10:06back
10:06in college ryan spent all his after school hours delivering food his dinner was usually just a cheap
10:12free meal provided by the delivery company one day i went to find him i saw him squeezed into a
10:18tiny
10:18room with a bunch of other uber eat drivers they were all just shoving food into their mouths from
10:24plastic boxes i said ryan how can you eat that it's so unhealthy he looked so uncomfortable he looked
10:32at me and asked does it really matter if it's healthy come on let's go grab some steak i dragged
10:39him
10:39to a new steakhouse where a meal costs over 100 bucks he stood at the door for a long time
10:46then he silently
10:48took off his delivery uniform it wasn't until my family lost everything that i finally understood
10:53how he felt that day and i understood his pain just like i felt today it started snowing on the
11:00street
11:01the ground was so slippery and the food spilled everywhere i called the customer to explain but he
11:09just screamed at me hello i'm so sorry it's snowing and the roads are icy i fell off my bike
11:17and the food spilled don't make excuses you're late i'm so sorry i'm so sorry my palms were cracked
11:24and bleeding it hurt so badly but i didn't have time to care suddenly ryan appeared and grabbed my
11:30bike i had no idea how long he'd been standing there watching me i reflexively hid my hands behind my
11:36back
11:38stop hiding them i saw them go wash them right now his voice was raspy and his eyes were bloodshot
11:45i have to deliver the food first get in the car i'll take you the customer lived on the first
11:51floor
11:52when i handed him the meal he grumbled what the a porsche driver delivering takeout i checked my phone
11:59i had to pick up the next order stop don't go i can't i haven't made enough money tonight then
12:07i'll
12:08buy it then i'll buy it what i can't believe what i heard he reached into his coat and pulled
12:14out a
12:15thick stack of cash he didn't even count it he just pressed the money into my bleeding hands i'm buying
12:22your time for the rest of the night the porsche pulled up to ryan's house he opened the door for
12:27me
12:27i stepped out hesitantly standing at his front door i stopped stella wouldn't like it i refused to go
12:34inside you're still worried about her look at yourself you're a mess my palms were torn up and
12:41my clothes were soaked with dirty melted snow and look at this house does it look like a woman lives
12:47here you guys aren't living together i was never even with her ryan pulled out a contract and handed it
12:54to me six months ago she came to me for a deal she didn't want to be harassed by all
13:00those scumbags
13:01so she asked me to play her fake boyfriend he explained further making sure i understood and some
13:08gold diggers like to target tech ceos like us it's annoying stella could help me get rid of them as
13:14well
13:15i opened the contract and the words practically jumped off the page no interference in each other's
13:21private lives ryan took my hand and started treating my wounds then i saw a row of unopened
13:28hand creams on the shelf it was my favorite brand ryan had bought the entire set i talked to your
13:35co-works today you don't have a boyfriend you even told everyone you were single last week
13:41tell me the truth there is no wedding chloe admit it you're wrong there is
13:50then show me a photo a photo of you and that guy we we don't have any photos together
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 i couldn't move
14:21even through my sweater i could feel the heat radiating from his body i bought your time for
14:28tonight i'll give your money back ryan i'm really getting married his hand slid down my shoulder
14:34slowly until he reached my wrist he stopped getting married and yet you're still wearing the bracelet
14:41your ex-boyfriend sent you that doesn't seem right does it i looked down there was a thin chain on
14:46my
14:46wrist over the years it had lost its shine it was the very first gift ryan ever gave me i
14:52was 19 and
14:53the world was different then there was a week i barely saw him except for classes he was working
14:58every part-time job he could find he was working harder than ever on my birthday my parents threw a
15:04party for me at a fancy restaurant i invited ryan but he didn't show up i waited and waited finally
15:11when the party was over my phone rang i'm outside the restaurant i walked out in the middle of a
15:18heavy
15:18snowstorm there he was standing tall and straight he looked exhausted just like i do today his cheap
15:25yellow delivery uniform was covered in mud back then i didn't know what's happening all i did was
15:31complain about him being late ryan just smiled and rubbed my hair he told me he got me a gift
15:37it was a simple bracelet but i knew it was way more than he could afford i loved it so
15:41much that i
15:42couldn't wait to put it on and for years i never took it off my parents called me from inside
15:47the
15:47restaurant who were you talking to they asked who i was talking to they never liked ryan they
15:52thought he was too poor for me when i turned back around ryan was already gone disappearing into the
15:58snow looking back today i can't help but wonder back when we were 19 ryan did love me didn't he
16:05that bracelet he worked day and night just to buy it for me was he just like me tonight running
16:11through
16:11the snow falling down but getting back up just to get that gift to me but what about now he's
16:16now
16:17pressing me down into the sofa his shadow looming over me his house is filled with luxury brands i
16:22used to love does he still care about me or is he just trying to humiliate me i couldn't figure
16:27it out
16:28before i knew it tears started rolling down my face ryan froze he looked completely panicked
16:34he could never handle it when i cried that's the one thing about him that hasn't changed at all
