To be honest, it wasn't that Cloe had wasted years over just a scumbag. The reason why she had been single for so long was her dear boss. And no, Raelle had never banned her employees from dating. There wasn't even a 'no dating' rule in her company. As long as their personal lives won't affect their professional lives, Raelle had no problem with them.
It was just that working with a boss like Raelle, Cloe had always wanted to prove herself. Maybe she strived for the better because she believed that she deserved better than that scumbag who cheated on her. And because of this belief, she had been working hard for herself all these years. It was a shame that along the way, she forgot about dating.
Since Raelle had no partner since Cloe started working with her, Cloe had never felt like there was anything wrong with staying single. But now, it was that same boss who was making Cloe feel like she really needed to get out on the field again.
