“No.” I lay there and felt familiar. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I knew if I compromise a little at this time. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
What would happen next would be unthinkable. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Give me some time. I’ll divorce Cindy. We will never be separated again.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean hugged me tightly. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
His tone was familiar. It was a pity that stupid I would never come back. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“President Jessop, I’m Becky.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I said word by word. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I told myself over and over that I couldn’t do it! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I could never compromise. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Once I was absurdly between Molly and Sean. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Now I didn’t want to go back to that ridiculous past. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean didn’t seem to understand me. He held me and said to me, “it doesn’t matter who you are. I know you are you. That’s enough.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I was I? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean, you were wrong. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I was not me for a long time. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But I didn’t say it. I was held by him. Our strength was very different. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I knew I couldn’t resist if he wanted to. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
So I lay there, “President Jessop, if you want to rape me, I can’t resist. But I will call the police and accuse you of rape.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean had been teasing me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He kept my body in a state where it could start at any time. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But when I said that, he stopped and looked at me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It was almost six o’clock. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It was almost dawn. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
A little light came in through the second floor window, and I could see Sean’s face. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
His features were all stagnant. His eyes were black. He seemed to be enveloped in a thick sadness. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He looked at me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I looked at him, too. My expression was only plain or stubborn. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I was betting. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I was betting on his pride as a man. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
We stood against each other. Sean raised his arm and put his big palm on my face and moved. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
His movements were light. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He seemed to be touching the most precious thing in the world. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When his hand passed my eyelashes, my eyelashes trembled a little but I didn’t close my eyes. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
His hands caressed my face and every feature. At last he raised his hand. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He smiled bitterly. “It’s OK. I can wait. As long as you don’t belong to others, I can wait.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“What are you waiting for?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I’m waiting for you to forgive me and believe me. I can get you back.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean got up and went to the bathroom. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Then I heard the sound of the shower opening. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I sat in bed and froze for a long time. I couldn’t even see the mood in my heart. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Was I disappointed or depressed? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I couldn’t think. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I had made up my mind. Since he didn’t touch me, wasn’t it the best? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I got up and changed before he came out. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I made the bed and went downstairs. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When I was sitting in front of the computer, I found that Ming had sent me messages yesterday. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It said, “I’m going to have an operation today. I won’t go to your place at noon. Remember to have lunch.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
What a coincidence. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Ming used to come, but he didn’t come today. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
If Ming had come yesterday, what would have happened? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I was not sure. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But Ming was the best way to get rid of Sean. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I took a look at my watch. I was afraid Ming was still sleeping and decided to send him a message in the morning. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When I turned on the computer and just turned on the software, Sean came downstairs. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He still wore his previous clothes, but he didn’t wear a tie, and his shirt was simply put on his body. He only wore three or four buttons and didn’t put them into his belt. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
His neckline was wide open and showed strong pectoral lines. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
His hair was not dry. Water dripped down his short hair on his shirt. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The emotion I was just stirred up may not have been completely suppressed. Now I thought he had unlimited temptation. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I couldn’t help swallowing. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
This tiny movement was seen by him. He looked at me and his black eyes smiled. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He came to me and picked up his suit and said, “I’ll go back and change. I’ll come back later.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“No, President Jessop.” I quickly stood up, “President Jessop, I promise you I won’t stay up late. Please don’t come.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean hung the suit on his right forearm. He stood at the door and looked at me and there was a smile in his eyes. “What you say doesn’t count.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
With that, he opened the door and left. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I sat in front of the computer and was not in the mood to work. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I was flustered at the thought that Sean would come back later. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I could dodge once, but I couldn’t dodge every time. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I had no choice but to call Ming. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I told him everything from yesterday to today. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
After listening, he was silent for a while and then said, “I see. I have a way of persuading him.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Really?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I heard Ming saying that, and I was happy. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Yes.” His tone was relaxed. “I’m glad you told me about it. You just need to cooperate with me.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“How can I cooperate with you?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
His words made me a little anxious. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“You’ll know by noon.” Ming paused and said, “I’m sorry. I’m going to have a meeting. I’ll hang up first.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“OK.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“OK, wait for me at noon.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Ming’s voice was still warm and gentle. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I looked at my cell phone in my hand and I was inexplicably anxious. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I felt like Ming was going to say something big to Sean today. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I fell asleep at noon yesterday, so I was hungry. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I went out and bought breakfast nearby. I came back and had breakfast and a cup of coffee. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
As soon as I got to work, Sean came back. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
To my surprise, he didn’t wear a suit today but a pair of dark jeans and white shirt. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
There was no gel on his hair. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He looked totally different from usual. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He seemed to have an affinity. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean looked at me and smiled, “I’m back.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“…” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
This sentence made my heart a little sour. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean used to say that when he went home. When I heard it again, I had a feeling of crossing time and space. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I opened my mouth a little and didn’t respond to him at last. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I continued to look at the screen and work. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean didn’t get angry but walked up to me and said, “you broke my coffee cup last time. You should compensate me for a cup, right?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I looked up and froze. I immediately took out my cell phone, “yes, President Jessop, you’re right. I’ll buy the same cup for president Jessop now.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
