Our happiness was always as fleeting as a meteor. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
And the paintings I drew for him. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean looked so good on each one. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Did I have no chance to draw him again? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
My mood was very complicated. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
While I was packing, Daisy came back from the company. She saw things at home and frowned, “does Sean really want to break up with you?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Yes.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I wanted to get married before, but he refused. He may have been thinking about how to end the relationship. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Daisy didn’t go on because she saw that I wasn’t happy. She put her arms around my neck and said, “forget it. You cleaned the house for me. He doesn’t love you but I love you. Tell me what you want to eat at night. It’s my treat. It’s a reward for helping me clean my house.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“No…” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Don’t refuse me. I will go abroad again in less than half a month. I’ll be busy during Christmas. Foreign food is too bad. You can eat with me.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Daisy interrupted me as soon as she knew I was going to refuse. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“OK.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I promised her. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Daisy’s phone rang while we were choosing where to eat. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It was Jack. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Daisy hesitated for a long time and answered the phone. She turned on the speakers and said coldly, “what’s up?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Daisy, I heard that you and June were the only two people for your birthday, so I chose a special place today. I prepared a cake for you. Can I celebrate another birthday for you?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Jack over the phone was very attentive. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“No.” Daisy refused directly. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I’ve made a reservation.” Jack often said that. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Daisy wanted to say no, but she glanced at me and said, “Okay, call Sean.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Ah?” Jack froze for a moment, but he quickly responded, “OK, no problem! I’ll ask him!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Jack finished and hung up. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The result was conceivable. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean wouldn’t come. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Jack kept pestering Daisy. At last Daisy asked him to meet directly at a hot pot restaurant. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Although Jack was reluctant, he agreed. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She chose a high-end hot pot restaurant with boxes. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Jack sat down and ordered a lot of food after we went in. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
At last he took a bottle of champagne out of the bag. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I didn’t understand, but Daisy became very happy. “Louis Roederer Cristal?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Haha, you are an expert.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When Daisy recognized it, Jack was more proud. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
After we ordered, the waiter asked, “what kind of bottom would you like, please?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Double.” Jack said. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“All spicy.” Daisy said. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Their answers were totally different. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Jack looked at Daisy. “I can’t eat spicy food.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I have the final say on my birthday.” Daisy didn’t seem to want to change. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Jack had no choice but to agree. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Although Jack looked like a playboy, he and Daisy had a good chat today. I sat next to them and couldn’t join in. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I didn’t speak and ate all the time. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Soon we finished a bottle of champagne. Jack wanted some wine but Daisy refused. She asked for some beers. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I didn’t handle alcohol well so when I finished supper I was almost drunk. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But Daisy seemed to be happy. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Jack suggested going to the bar, and Daisy immediately agreed! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I wanted to persuade Daisy, but she didn’t listen to me and wanted to take me with her. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
We went to a bar. Jack ordered a very expensive drink directly. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I was afraid Daisy would be drunk and no one would take care of her, so I didn’t drink too much. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Daisy had been persuading me. I could only make excuses to go to the bathroom and left. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
As soon as I got out of the box and stood in the corridor for a while, I saw a very tall man come out of a box. When the man saw me, he smiled and leaned over. “Isn’t this Mrs. Jessop?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Ward. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I didn’t expect to see him here, so I turned around and wanted to leave. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He was tall and caught up with me. He stooped and looked at me and said, “Miss Carter, why are you running? Did you come here with President Jessop?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“No.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Ward looked at me and said meaningfully, “I thought Miss Carter came here with President Jessop, so I was going to take you to his box.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Was Sean here, too? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Although people could only drink here, there were actually additional services. I just stood in the corridor for a while and saw a lot of “princesses” and guests passing by. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Then they went into a bathroom. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
What they would do was self-evident. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Ward saw that I didn’t speak and was not surprised, “although Miss Carter didn’t come here with President Jessop, you must also want to go to President Jessop’s box to have a look.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“No.” I refused immediately. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Ward didn’t speak and moved forward. As he walked, he said, “I’ll go and say hello to President Jessop.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I knew he said that to make me follow him. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Though I hesitated for a while, Ward was tall and dressed in a white suit. He would be seen no matter how far he went. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I followed him unconsciously. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I saw him enter a box. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When he got in, the door didn’t close completely. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I stood far away and looked in. I didn’t know if it was a coincidence. I could see Sean from that angle. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He was only wearing a shirt and two gorgeous women were sitting next to him with their breasts resting on him. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He just sat and didn’t refuse. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He held a crystal cup in one hand and slowly shook the ice in it. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I stood there and froze. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Was this Sean’s life after I left? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It seemed that I was really a burden to him. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I saw it, but I made an excuse for him and stood at the door watching. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I hoped he could actively push away the women around him or hate them. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But I stood there for a long time, and Sean silently accepted the offer of those women and didn’t refuse it. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Then a woman stood up and sat on his legs. She clasped her hands around his neck. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When I wanted to see Sean’s reaction, a man came out of the door and closed it. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Mrs. Jessop, you’re still here.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Ward looked at me and there was something evil in his three-dimensional eyes. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I was a little embarrassed. Thinking of that scene, I immediately said, “I’m not Mrs. Jessop. I’m just one of President Jessop’s lovers. And he hates what I look like now.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When I said that, I was depressed. <\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
