“Say it.” Sean Jessop said. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I’m going to work at Universe Design Co. LTD. You must promise me that you can never do bad things to Universe Design Co. LTD.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I wanted to protect Daniell Cook’s company. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Well, I promise you.” Sean Jessop nodded. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I was not sure, “President Jessop, I hope you can keep your promise. Last time you promised me but you secretly did something bad to Universe Design Co. LTD.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean Jessop looked at me with a somber face. “I never broke my promise. After that, I didn’t do anything bad to Universe Design Co. LTD.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“President Jessop knows in your heart whether you have done it or not.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Now I couldn’t believe Sean Jessop. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But I had to believe him. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
On the second day, I returned to Universe Design Co. LTD. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Daniell Cook welcomed me but others didn’t. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When I came out of Daniell Cook’s office and went back to my desk, a dead mouse lay there. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Blood stained the table. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I used to put up with it. But now I decided to made progress and helped Daniell Cook instead of dragging him down. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I looked at the dead rat and took its tail and threw it into the garbage can. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Then I clapped my hands and said, “You all know I was in prison. But you don’t know why.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
My colleagues ignored me at the time but I knew they were listening carefully. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I said slowly, “I wanted to kill somebody but I didn’t succeed.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When I said this, I saw all my colleagues’ hands stopped. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Someone took a sip of coffee. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The office was quiet and depressed. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I went on to say, “Of course there was a reason for that. I’m out now and I’ll get along well with you all.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Then I sat down. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It was a quiet day. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It never happened again. But all my colleagues were far away from me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Because of the last incident, I totally offended Angie. But now I understood the society. Now most of the company’s work was to design ordinary residential buildings. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I could basically do this kind of work. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
So I was back as a designer. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I had appointments with several clients that afternoon. I communicated with them smoothly and succeeded in getting two clients. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Tomorrow I would go to the site to measure the size and make the effect map. Tonight was the last free time so I contacted Daisy Johnson. I wanted to pay her back. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It happened that she was in York. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
We agreed to meet at the hot pot restaurant near the company at half past six. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When I finished my work in the evening, as soon as I stepped out of the office building, I saw Sean Jessop standing at the door and his car was not far away. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When he saw me, he went up to me and asked, “What do you want to eat?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He asked naturally as if we were a loving couple. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He waited for me to finish work and then accompanied me to dinner. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
People who work in this building passed by us. They looked at us with envy or jealousy. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But I understood why he did it. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I didn’t want to accept it. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I stood up straight and said to Sean Jessop, “President Jessop, you have a lot of work to do and you don’t need to be with me. Since I promised not to continue the investigation, I will keep my promise.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
After that, I showed a polite smile. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean Jessop looked at me with a dark face and a low voice. “Do you think I came to pick you up for dinner for this?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Did President Jessop miss me?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I tilted my head and looked at him with a funny expression. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“How can it be?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean Jessop immediately retorted, as if he had been seen through. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
If it was someone else, I would think he really missed me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Only him. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Impossible. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I glanced at my watch and it was 6:10. “President Jessop, I made an appointment with Daisy Johnson for dinner and I go first.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When I finished, I wanted to go but I didn’t expect Sean Jessop to follow me and say, “I’ll give you a ride.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“President Jessop, the restaurant is not far ahead. I don’t need you to give me a ride.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I refused again and again, seemingly annoying Sean Jessop at last. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
As I walking, I heard him say in the back, “Then you’ll never need me again.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
His words seemed to me to be in a temper. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But I didn’t look back. I knew I didn’t need a husband who didn’t love me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“June,” Daniell Cook caught up just after I took a few steps, “Where are you going? I’ll send you over.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I’m going to have dinner with Daisy Johnson. I walk there.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I said the same thing to Daniell Cook. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Daniell Cook didn’t seem to mind. He laughed and said, “Really? I’m just going to buy a cup of coffee in that direction. Let’s go together.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Of course I knew he lied to accompany me but I couldn’t find any reason to refuse. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I looked a little sideways and saw Sean Jessop’s car still parked on the side of the road. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Did he see it? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
My heart was in some confusion as if I had been caught doing something wrong. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I took a few more steps and stopped. I pointed to the car over there and told Daniell Cook the truth. I told him not to accompany me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Daniell Cook didn’t mind but I insisted, “I’ll go myself.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I refused again and again before he went back. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
As soon as he left, I saw Sean Jessop’s car on the roadside start and leave. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I returned the money to Daisy Johnson at dinner. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
After collecting the money, she ate and asked me, “What are you going to do? Are you going to let Molly Carter go?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I need to think about it.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I couldn’t let Molly Carter go. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But I was afraid of Sean Jessop. I was afraid he would demolish the orphanage if he got angry. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Maybe I hurt Sean Jessop’s self-esteem. I hadn’t seen him for two months in a row. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It was getting cooler. What happened in prison led to my poor health. I was especially afraid of the cold. But even if I wore more, my hands and feet were cold. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sunday was a rare day of rest. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I didn’t want to go out so I watched TV at home wrapped in a quilt. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“The Giant Group’s subsidiary recently held a conference with the newly joined Molly Studio. Molly Studio exhibited a new design for next spring…” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I was going to change channels but I heard the Giant group. I stopped. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Then Molly Carter appeared in the news. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She stood on the stage in a white dress and began to talk about her design ideas and elements. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She repeatedly emphasized that this set of design drawings was her first set of works completed independently. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Reporters praised her for her talent. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When the camera gave a close-up of the design, I was shocked! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I saw this design for the first time but I was so familiar with it. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I must have seen it somewhere! <\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
