After moving to the city alone , I rented a small room near a movie theater and picked up a job there doing odd tasks . In my last life , I loved watching movies . But whenever I suggested going for one , Nathaniel was mostly against the idea . He'd scold me mercilessly , saying it was a complete waste of time . Now , it felt like I was making up for that regret . I practically threw myself into work every day . Before I knew it , half a year had gone by in the city . I'd gone from just another worker doing grunt work to a junior manager at the theater . I never expected to run into Nathaniel there on Christmas . He was standing in line to buy tickets . It was Catherine who spotted me first . " Bella , you're actually here ! " Her eyes burned with fury and resentment . I couldn't figure it out . I'd been gone for over half a year , doing everything I could to avoid them . So why was she still holding such a grudge against me ? But I didn't take it to heart . After being away for over half a year , I had long gotten used to living on my own . " I'm working here . I heard your wedding was quite the event . Congratulations . "
