I didn’t answer and just hugged Linda. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Her mood was unstable. I dare not ask her what happened and dare not move. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I was afraid Linda would pull her hair if I asked or I let go. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I held Linda for more than half an hour. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
During this time, Linda’s eyes had been staring at the direction of the bathroom, and her hands had been struggling up and down. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
From time to time she felt the position between her legs. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It seemed that it was uncomfortable there. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Linda, take a bath. I’ll help you.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I couldn’t feel Linda’s temperature dropping. I realized that she had been given a strong aphrodisiac. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
If we just sat like this, we had no way. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Linda nodded and followed me to the bathroom. I turned on the shower. The warm water fell on her and wet me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Linda lowered her head and let the water pour on her body, but her hands were still touching her body. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
In the sound of the water, I heard her say, “June, I feel bad. Find me a man.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Hold on a little longer. You’ll be all right soon.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
There were only a few men in the resort. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Two male colleagues, Sean, Eric and several of Sean’s bodyguards. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
If I randomly found a man to “detoxify” Linda, I thought she would suffer. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I spent nearly an hour standing in the water with Linda. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Linda’s temperature was dropping. Her hands did not move. She leaned against me like exhausted. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She whispered, “thank you.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Nothing.” I knew Linda was almost back to normal. I held her and closed the shower. I wrapped her in a bath towel and wiped her body. “I’ll get you a suit. Change clothes first.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It was summer now. Although it was night here, it was very hot. As long as she put on dry clothes, soon her body and hair would dry. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She changed clothes and I dried myself. I made her a cup of hot tea and asked her, “what happened?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Linda took the water and shook her head in confusion. “I don’t know. I just remember going back to my room to design after supper. I suddenly felt dry and hot. I don’t remember what happened later.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Where did you have dinner?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Dining room. Everyone is basically there.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Linda looked upset. I couldn’t help asking, “there are so many rooms. Why did you go to Sean’s room?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
In fact, I regretted it. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
What Linda said that day actually made her point. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Her feelings for Sean had gone beyond superiors and subordinates. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Maybe this kind of medicine was to help people find their original intention. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Linda had guessed what I thought. She gave a wry smile. “Actually, I don’t know why I went to his room. Maybe my heart wanted to go there.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“…” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“But don’t worry.” Linda looked at me, “President Jessop won’t like me. I took a look when I left. I stood naked in front of him but he didn’t respond. It seems that he is really not interested in me.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“He…” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I wanted to comfort Linda, but I thought of the days when I lived with Sean. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
At that time we had sex every day. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Linda looked at me and smiled, “you blush. What are you thinking?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Nothing.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I shook my head. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Linda hugged me and whispered, “thank you, June. If you didn’t help me this time, I may not have the courage to live.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I was late. If I went there early, they would not…” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I felt very strange. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean was sure to let Eric know first. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Even if Selena said she saw Linda halfway, she couldn’t have summoned all the finalists to watch in such a short time. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Unless… <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I was a little confused. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Linda seemed to know everything. She straightened up and smiled, “yes, I was set up. I can’t take park in the final.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Why? It is an accident. What does it have to do with the final?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“It’s okay. Show me your work. I’ll help you.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Linda was calm. She seemed to have figured it out. She didn’t want to continue to talk about it with me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
After that, I showed Linda some of my last drafts. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Linda kept shaking her head. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She said a lot about the shortcomings of my work. Although she was usually a very kind person, when she looked at my works, she was outspoken. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I even wanted to relearn design. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When she finished, I frowned and said, “I want to give up.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
In fact, I didn’t have any hope of getting a bonus. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Linda raised her hand and touched my hair. She smiled. “It’s OK. I’ll help you!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I won’t take your design!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Her words reminded me of Selena. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Daniell helped me in the preliminary. It was dramatic in the semi-final. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I must rely on myself in the final. It didn’t matter if I couldn’t win any prizes. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Linda chuckled. “I didn’t let you take my design. I want to tell you my idea.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Idea?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I was a little confused. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
That night, Linda was in my room giving me lessons. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She told me the customer demands of such designs and what should be paid attention to. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Her experience was very valuable to me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When she finished, the sky outside had changed from dark to bright. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The sun was about to rise. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Linda stretched and wanted to leave. I pulled her and said, “let’s sleep together. Don’t go back.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
This big bed was enough for me to sleep with her. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She hesitated for a moment and nodded. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I was so sleepy that I fell asleep as soon as I put my head on the pillow. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When I woke up again, Linda was gone. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I saw the clothes she had worn yesterday hanging outside. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
At that time, I thought she was back. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But when I went to the dining room for lunch, several finalists sat at the same table and chatted. When they saw me, they all looked at me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
They whispered. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I ignored them and ordered a set meal. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Selena saw that I didn’t respond and asked in a loud voice, “Oh, June, don’t you know Linda’s gone?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“What?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I was stunned. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“She dropped out of the final this morning.” Selena put down her chopsticks and proudly said, “yesterday she did something shameless and we saw her. How could she stay.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
After she finished, a male colleague said indecently. “Unfortunately, I didn’t have a cell phone, or I would take some pictures.” <\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
