“No, I dare not bring this little devil.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I said with a smile. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
At this time, the manager came back to Jonas. It seemed that some guests want to see him. I said quickly, “you can do your business. I’m going upstairs.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
After Jonas left, I was going upstairs. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I looked up and saw Sean standing at the corner of the stairs. He was wearing a black shirt and black trousers. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The light in the dining room was dim and yellow, but it couldn’t cover his cold breath. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I couldn’t help but step back. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I was a little flustered. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When did he come? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Did he hear me talking to Jonas just now? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
And I mentioned Lester. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Ming told Sean we had a child, but he didn’t react much. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I thought he may not believe it. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But this time Jonas asked me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Who is Lester?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sure enough, his first question was this. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I reflected on what I had just said. I hesitated for a moment before I said, “it’s my dog in Sceaux.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I didn’t even believe it. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Dog?” He stood on the steps and looked down at me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
His deep eyes were chilling. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Yes, a dog. It’s a husky.” I looked at Sean. To convince him, I went on, “it’s very naughty but it’s very fond of Uncle Richards.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When I finished, I thought about what I had just said, and realized that my lie was poor. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He said coldly, “Oh.” He didn’t go on asking and just said, “go upstairs. They are all waiting for you.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I realized that Sean would have dinner with me, too. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Why didn’t I think of it? David couldn’t insist on inviting me for no reason. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He did it for Sean. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But now that I was here, I couldn’t leave. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I followed Sean upstairs. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Tang Time’s box was also designed with special charm. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Although we were sitting in this box, I could see that the people in the next few boxes were barefoot. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It was classic. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When we got into the box, I saw the people I saw when I came to York. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
David was as enthusiastic as ever. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
There were only two empty seats in the box. Sean sat down first. The other seat was next to him. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I couldn’t let anyone give me a seat. I could only sit in the only available seat. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I sat down and hesitated. I texted Ming first, “Sean is here today. Don’t worry. I don’t drink.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I sent this message because Ming and I didn’t discuss it, but we were already lovers to some extent. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
In that case, I should take the initiative to tell him. I respected him. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Soon I got a message from Ming, “I see. I’ll pick you up in the evening.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Are you informing my uncle?” Sean’s voice came from the side. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
His voice was cold and without any emotion. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I thought about it and turned to look at him. I smiled. “Yeah. I must tell him that I saw you so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstanding.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“You are right.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean nodded and said nothing. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I didn’t know what he meant. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The waiter wanted to pour me wine at dinner. Before I spoke, Sean said, “she doesn’t drink.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I looked at him in surprise. I didn’t know what he meant. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
David had always praised my design. He said the club would definitely attract a lot of people in the future. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
If it was before today, I would be happy to accept it. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But today, Tang Time’s design really made me feel inferior. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
At dinner, Sean basically talked to Mr. Lopez of the Design Institute. He hardly looked at me or talked to me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It reminded me of the first time we had dinner together. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean seemed to have this attitude towards me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Did he decide to let go of the past? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It was good. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I told myself in my heart. At the same time, I suppressed my depression. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
At the end of the dinner, David suddenly said, “this time President Jessop takes care of Miss Jones. He has a special office for her. It rained heavily when Miss Jones came. President Jessop knew that Miss Jones didn’t come back with the car. He drove to find her!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Was he looking for me that time? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I looked at Sean and I was in a mixed mood. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Did he know that I was me then? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Otherwise, how could… <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But I couldn’t say anything at this time. I could only lift the teacup in front of me and say, “thank you, President Jessop. If you didn’t help me that day, I would be ill. I drink a toast to you.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean looked at me deadpan. He just picked up the glass and said, “OK.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Then he looked up and finished his drink. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Maybe David was drunk. He watched Sean drink and began to say, “unfortunately President Jessop has a wife, otherwise I think President Jessop and Miss Jones are very well matched.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“David, you’re drunk.” Mr. Lopez was obviously good at drinking. He quickly persuaded David, “Miss Jones has a boyfriend. Don’t talk nonsense.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Really?” David touched his head. “I’m sorry. I drink too much.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I took an awkward look at Sean. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
His expression did not change. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The dinner was over. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When we went out, it rained a little bit. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“It’s raining. President Jessop, please send Miss Jones back.” David was drunk. He was still trying to match Sean and me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I…” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“No, her boyfriend has come to pick her up.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Before I finished, Sean answered. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I turned and saw Ming coming out of the car. He was carrying a black umbrella and came towards the door. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Ming approached and reached for me and said softly, “watch out for the steps.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I hesitated for a moment and put my hand in his palm. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
His hand was noticeably cold. He waited for me outside for a long time. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I couldn’t help feeling a little guilty. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
David shook his head when he saw it. “Miss Jones’s boyfriend is very considerate. President Jessop, you don’t have a chance.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
No one answered. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Ming and I got in the car and left. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I didn’t speak to Sean. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When we got to the door of the studio, it rained heavily. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Ming got out of the car and picked me up. When I got off the car, I noticed a man standing in the rain. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The man saw me and said weakly, “June, you’re back.” <\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
