Breaking Up Is Better Than Divorce

“Have you been to Florida?”

After deciding on an unplanned trip, I ask Joanna.

“Never. If it’s time to catch a flight to Florida, I’d rather go home.”

“Joanna is all good, but she doesn’t seem to know how to enjoy life.”

Eugene, who was able to afford it, said teasingly.

“You don’t know how to enjoy it. How happy I am.”

“Analyzing companies to invest in and calculating statistical data, right?”

“Of course. And in doing so, it is essential to check the increasing assets.”

I forgot for a while. Joanna was known as the Ice Princess of Wall Street, a woman who would become an investment genius.

She’s a much better fit for a Wall Street investor than as the king of a country.

What could be more blessed than having a talent for something you enjoy? Joanna was such a blessed woman.

“The boss is rather strange. They don’t seem to be very interested in investing other than when making investment decisions, don’t you think it’s cumbersome to calculate?”

“Because I don’t have to analyze and calculate every single one. Didn’t you hire Joanna to do that?”

“But in the end, the boss’s judgment is always right. Something is unfair.”

“Isn’t it strange that Joanna is talking about injustice?”

She is the one on the pole of injustice. He has been a gold spoon since he was born, and even has a talent that is second to none in earning money.

“Unfair is unfair. No matter how hard I try, I can’t keep up with the forward-looking judgment like a boss.”

Joanna had a shout out.

I heard it and it’s true. A person who has been blessed to live life once and walk through the time that has passed once again can be said to be standing at the edge of injustice.

“Driving is decided to take a break every hour.”

Eugene turned around.

It was for the safety of everyone in the party rather than for the driver. It took more than ten hours to get to Florida.

“I will tell you that.”

Joanna gave instructions to the head of the security team, and again, instructions were given to the vehicles that were running while escorting Eugene’s car from the front and back.

Even if it was a small number of people, there were more than ten bodyguards. Even now, all five cars were running on the highway in a line.

“The One Hotel in Miami says they can afford it. We made a reservation, and we’re good to go.”

Monica, who broke up in Atlantic City, took orders and set up a hotel.

“It’s quite a distance, so let’s go and take a break. If you are tired, you can sleep.”

“no. I have work to do. Boss, take a break.”

Joanna was already holding out her laptop. As she said, she seems to be doing what she loves the most.

Eugene watched her work for a moment, then laid back comfortably with her back.

It was only late that night that the group arrived in Miami.

There, the other party, who flew from Atlantic City, had already fallen asleep in their respective rooms.

Eugene and the party went into the room and rested without waking the swings.

From the next day, Eugene and his party enjoyed a real vacation in Miami Beach.

I came down a long distance to avoid meeting with Trump, but since I’ve come down, I decided to enjoy it.

“Miami is a pretty cool place too.”

Unlike New York, it was nice to be able to stretch out endlessly.

“Everyone has a good body.”

Eugene, who was watching the female staff, who were always wearing well-dressed clothes, running around the beach in bikinis, spoke in Korean.

“It is. I never knew Monica could be so glamorous.”

However, Joanna, who was sitting next to her, suddenly understood Korean quite well.

“Joanna is great too.”

She also wore a bikini and took a seat on the beach.

But she always has a laptop in her hand.

“Please apply sunscreen later.”

Joanna sat on the sunbed under the parasol, turned on her laptop, and went back to work.

“It’s even working at the beach.”

“Obviously it’s working hours.”

Joanna answered without turning her head.

The staff are running around on the beach, but as long as they are together with Eugene, it cannot be called a vacation. They are still working hours, but there is nothing to do.

“Where are you planning to go on your summer vacation? Have you been to the Netherlands for a long time?”

“no. I just want to rest at home and go to sleep.”

“You look like a dried fish girl from a Japanese manga.”

“What is it? A goofy girl?”

She is curious about the Korean language she has never heard of for the first time.

“no. I saw something like that.”

It was difficult for Eugene to explain, so he blurted his words and turned his head to look at the staff who were playing frantically.

Maybe the reason I like Miami is because there are actually a lot of girls in bikinis.

The next day we stayed in a mansion with a private beach that Monica had hired somewhere. The party rested much more comfortably than on the beach in front of the hotel.

That evening, Eugene invited some influential people from Miami to the mansion. It seemed like it was a waste to just let go of what had already come down.

Celebrities from Miami who were suddenly invited did not decline the invitation and came to visit.

It seems that he did not want to miss the meeting with the newly rising wealthy in the United States.

“It’s a beautiful city. Miami.”

It was a polite greeting.

“There are beautiful places all over the place. If you like it, how about buying a villa? If you buy a villa like that, you won’t be able to leave without coming back.”

Said the famous Miami rich man in a fancy evening dress with a smile.

“It wouldn’t be bad. Let’s consider it.”

“If you really have an idea, let me introduce you to one. A friend of mine just put up a house, and it’s a really bad house to sell. It’s a house that was built with great care.”

“Why did you put so much effort into it?”

“Because of alimony. Ho Ho.”

She said with a laugh as if it was funny.

“ah! it… … It’s unfortunate.”

“Iknow, right. Mr. Kahn should be careful too. American women are really dangerous.”

“Thanks for the advice. It must be deeply engraved.”

Eugene smiled and expressed her gratitude. It’s true that you have to be really careful. It cannot be compared to Korea.

The risk of losing half of your fortune for a moment’s carelessness will continue in the future.

“That’s why I haven’t been married yet.”

she smiled and said

After all, alimony is not necessarily paid by men.

Of course, rich people say that they write a pre-nuptial agreement before marriage, but there are many people who do not put such conditions on the romantic event of marriage.

The next day, Eugene saw the house that the woman of yesterday had introduced and ran away immediately.

Located on a small island in South Beach, the mansion looked good in privacy, and it was a nice mansion with a fairly large private beach and a large pool.

I thought it was much better than her words, so the price of $50 million seemed rather cheap.

Eugene wasn’t satisfied with that, so he called the Ritz team and ordered them to purchase a few more buildings.

It’s not like we’re predicting a rise in Miami’s real estate prices.

I just liked this laid-back city.

And if you’re always making money, sometimes you have a desire to spend.

Ordinary people would satisfy such desires with clothes, expensive accessories, or cars, but in Eugene’s case, it seemed to be resolved with a slightly different unit.

After spending a week without knowing whether it was a vacation or real estate shopping, I went back to Manhattan after spending a week building connections with celebrities in Miami.

“Please make a reservation for Hadestown, which is performing at the New York Theater Workshop.”

Upon returning to New York, I ordered Monica tickets to a musical performance.

This time it’s an off-Broadway show, not Broadway, but mostly experimental musicals.

I was not very interested in the fact that it was a musical based on the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, the most heartbreaking romance among Greek mythology, but there was a reason I had to see it at least once.

“Hadestown? It’s getting pretty good reviews these days. May I go with you?”

Joanna, who is interested in musicals, has asked to go with her.

“no. This time I want to go alone. Let’s go together next time.”

“Huh? Aha!”

Joanna gladly accepted Eugene’s rejection with a strange smile.

The musical performance was exactly what I expected.

Because it was a story I was already familiar with, I was neither surprised nor impressed by the modern reinterpretation.

Still, I particularly liked the profound voice of Patrick Page, who played the role of Hades.

Of course, I knew that this musical was well-received, and that jazz and the setting of the United States during the Great Depression were meaningful to Americans, but I did not feel particularly attractive to Eugene, who enjoys jazz.

Maybe it’s because Eugene is still a stranger, or maybe it’s just a difference in taste.

After the performance, Eugene was able to visit the backstage with the guidance of the host.

“You have come.”

Although it was not revealed so much in the musical, the actress who shined more than anyone else in Eugene’s eyes came and expressed her delight.

“It was a great show. The song was great too.”

Eugene praised it as she presented the roses she had prepared.

He knows all too well that a little lie is essential to social life.

“Yes? I love this work too. Even though my role is not so obvious.”

Emily Summers, an unknown actress in Hollywood, was invited to audition for acclaimed producer Linmanuel Miranda on Broadway on Eugene’s recommendation.

Since Eugene was the biggest investor in the musical, he could not have refused. Lin introduced another musical, saying there were no vacant roles in her musical, and she was able to take on a small but brilliant role in this new Hadestown.

“Did you? I was only watching Fate the whole show?”

Emily was in charge of the chorus of the non-stop songs, playing one of the three goddesses of fate who externally express the emotions of the characters around Orpheus, Eurydice, Persephone, and Hades, the four main characters of the play.

“It’s not a lie this time.”

Emily said with a smile.

“Are you really looking at me?”

Eugene was not so surprised at her words.

Emily was a woman who easily noticed people’s lies. No, maybe it was only when Eugene was lying.

“To be honest, I didn’t even know what it was about because I was looking at you. ah! Patrick Page’s song was great. Hearing Patrick’s song would be enough reason to appreciate the show.”

“Yes? He’s a great actor. He is a person with a lot to learn. And again… … .”

Eugene watched Emily chatter with joy.

Talking to her makes me feel very strange.

In Eugene’s memory, the two had fallen in love in the past.

So, the Emily Eugene knows is the future Emily who is three or four years older than now.

Then, is Emily, who is sitting in front of Eugene and chatting happily, the future girl? Or is it her past?

Going back in time and living once again and meeting past relationships makes you feel a very unique feeling that cannot be shared with others.

Eugene knows a lot about Emily.

She knows her favorite songs, music, and what pranks she reacts to when she’s in bed.

But now she doesn’t even know about Eugene and how well Eugene knows herself.

Because of the subtle differences that stem from the gap between each other’s emotions and memories, Eugene was accepting the feeling of this moment as unrealistic.

“Have you been to Miami?”

“How did you know?”

“I saw it on the news. He said he bought the biggest hotel in Miami. Eugene is very famous, so you can see what she is doing wherever she is. Miami is a wonderful place, isn’t it?”

“yes. It was a very beautiful city.”

For a moment, the two looked at each other and exchanged meaningless words. Then, they both looked at each other with their mouths closed.

“But why are you being so nice to me? We’ve only met twice, haven’t we?”

It was Emily who broke the silence first and opened her mouth.

Eugene had to answer.

“I have a liking for it. of course.”

I have no intention of lying to her.

“really?”

Emily smiled brightly.

“Actually, I like Eugene too.”

She was always honest with Eugene.

“But I don’t know. The place where we stand is so different.”

“I don’t know either. How would you like to be with Emily in the future?”

Eugene realized. The Emily he sees now is not the future Emily he knew.

“Then what shall we do?”

Still smiling, she asked.

“I do not know? Let’s get to know each other in the future.”

The Emily that Eugene liked was the current Emily. Of course, there are memories of her that he has at the bottom, but even without them, Eugene would have been drawn to her.

“like. Then can we meet again?”

“Sure. I’ll get back to you. ah! Please feel free to contact us.”

Eugene left her contact information.

Still he wasn’t sure. Will I be able to love the same woman twice with different feelings?

But I’m not really worried about it. Maybe we’ll love again, maybe we’ll break up like someday.

However, he didn’t want to miss out on a new opportunity because he was already trembling in fear.
