MY FAT NERD EX-CRUSH IS NOW MY CEO

THE BIRTHDAY KISS

EPISODE 3 — THE BIRTHDAY KISS

The next morning, Tia was still heartbroken.

But she refused to let her cheating boyfriend ruin her birthday.

Tia: "We're celebrating tonight. I won't let that i***t ruin my happiness."

Adam overheard her.

Adam: "I'll arrange the party through the company."

Tia's face immediately brightened.

Tia: "Really, Sir?"

Adam: "You're one of our best employees. You deserve it."

That evening, I went home and opened my wardrobe.

I suddenly realized something.

I didn't own a single beautiful dress.

For the first time in my life, I wanted to look beautiful.

Maybe...

I wanted Adam to notice me.

I went shopping.

I bought a beautiful purple dress, high heels, and makeup.

I had never spent so much money on myself.

When I entered the party, people turned to look at me.

But I only noticed one person.

Adam.

He stared at me.

He couldn't look away.

A young man approached my table.

Man: "You look bored."

Nora: "I'm enjoying my orange juice."

We laughed.

Adam saw us.

His expression changed.

He walked over and took my hand.

Adam: "Tia is looking for you."

He led me away.

Later, after the cake was cut, Tia came to me.

Tia: "Now I want my birthday gift."

I froze.

The kiss.

My promise.

I escaped to the washroom.

When I came out, Adam was waiting.

He stepped closer.

I looked up at him.

Before I could say anything, he kissed me.

I was shocked.

I tried to pull away.

But then...

I stopped.

I closed my eyes.

For the first time, I realized that I didn't want him to stop.

When Adam pulled away, he looked directly into my eyes.

Adam: "Your first kiss..."

He paused.

Adam: "...and your last kiss should be with me."

My heart raced.

I couldn't understand what was happening to me.
