When I finished saying this, there was only silence on the phone. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Long time. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I finally heard a man with a slightly husky voice say, “OK, You will come to my office at 10 am tomorrow.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The office? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
After all, it’s the office and meeting me now seemed to be a business. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I can’t accept it, but what can I do if I don’t? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I promised, “OK, I will be there on time.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The next morning, Daisy went to the company training, and I got up to make up. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
This was probably the longest time I have ever made up. I covered the scars on my face so tightly that I tried to make it look less discomfited with some skills about shadow and light. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It was the last side, after all. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I picked a beige long sweater from the closet with boots and a coat of the same color. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Standing in front of the mirror, the whole person looked very young, very beautiful. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Without removing the mask. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I put on the new cartoon meow face mask that I bought before, which was perfect to cover my own shortcomings. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I left at 9:30, and got downstairs at ten on time. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When I got to the lobby, before I reached the front desk, I saw Eric coming in my direction, then he stopped a meter from me and said respectfully, “Miss Carter. Mr. Jessop is waiting for you upstairs.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I followed Eric to the elevator. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Because I trusted Eric, I asked, “Do you know when he was engaged to Cindy?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“well..I do not know anything about Mr. Jessop’s personal life.” Eric answered. He paused, and said a little sorry, “Miss Carter, I also asked Mr. Jessop about this, but he reprimanded me harshly.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Thank you.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I was thanking Eric for talking to me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The elevator reached the top floor. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The elevator door opened and the entire top floor was empty, and Amanda’s seat was empty. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Eric took me to Sean’s office and left. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I pushed the door in. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The office was the same as before. Sean was sitting at his large desk, looking at a few documents in his hands. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He saw me in, raising his eyes slightly, but there was no extra expression on his face, but he just said, “Don’t you have something to tell me? You say it.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
With a look of alienation. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It was like he was talking to a subordinate instead of a woman he had a relationship with. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean’s estrangement made me a little uncomfortable and I did not even know how to say it for a while. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean’s eyes were always on the file. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He waited for a while, seeing that I didn’t speak, then put down the file, and said impatiently, “I’m busy, if you have nothing to say, just go.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I looked at him in a trance. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Was this Sean? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The man seemed to be just another man with the same face and body as Sean. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
At least not long ago, Sean, whom I knew, would care about me, would love me, and would talk to me tenderly. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Oh, I remembered when he took the blocker for me, I said he was crazy. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He said, “I am crazy when you are dead.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
At that moment, the attention in his eyes still lingered in my mind. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
How long has it been and how did it become like this? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I had so much to say, but I could not get it out of my throat, and after a long struggle, I asked, “When did you and Cindy decide to get married?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“It has been almost six months.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean answered. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I was stunned, “more than half a year?” His answer really made me laugh, and I looked at him inconceivably, “Since you have been engaged for more than half a year, why do you still do those useless things?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Why did you chase me again? Why were you being nice to me?? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Why did you bring me back from abroad? Why did you say you will be crazy if I am dead?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Why did you let me live in The Best Home and pretend to be with me for a long time?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I asked him questions one by one, like depression in my heart! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean’s face did not change at all. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It was as if I was talking about something that has nothing to do with him. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He lowered his head and thought for a while, then said, “I can’t live with Cindy before I get married, and I am more addicted to having sex with you.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“So I am a bed companion, am I?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“You can say that.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean’s words made my heart ache. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But I knew I can’t cry, in front of him I can’t show weakness! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
My nails ran into the meat, and I worked hard to endure tears for a long time before walking to the man’s desk. “Sean, you tell me now that you are telling the truth. You have nothing to hide! If you tell a lie, you will be dead by lightning!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
After all, I was still not reconciled. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Well, I swear.” Sean looked up and looked at me. “If I tell a lie, I will be hacked by thunder and die.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Sean, Sean, you are so mean! That is so funny!” After listening to the man, the tears finally fell uncontrollably. I looked at him. “What’s more terrible is that you are still a good actor. You tricked me into giving you my heart willingly!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I used to feel like I did not like to cry. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But at this moment I only realized that being bullied when I was a child was just a pain in the flesh. The pain in my heart was really hurting now! !! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
A drop of my tears fell on the document in front of the man. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
With a slight frown, Sean pushed the document aside and pointed to the space in front of him and said, “if you do not mind, I can do it again. After today, let’s not owe each other.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Do it again? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When I saw him say this, his eyes have become soft. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
For the last time, let me indulge. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
My heart has made a decision for me. I walked to him, no longer suppressing my emotions, and flew into his arms all at once. My tears fell down. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
His big palm fell behind my back and patted gently. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He did not say anything. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I cried for a long time and said to myself, “Sean, if I had a choice, I would not love you. I would rather never met you.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“okay” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
His voice was gentle. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I had a secret that I had never told you.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“What?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I did not answer him directly, but said, “I did not tell you this secret because I wanted to leave you. I am afraid you will not let me go after I said that. But at this moment, I really want to leave you, I will tell you.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“okay. Just tell me.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean’s voice was gentle. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It was like we had never had a gap, like we had always been the same. <\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
