There is no problem with the last pair. I&#8230;&#8221; Eileen was annoyed in her heart but she pretended to be very anxious.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Eileen, you don&#8217;t need to explain. I understand.&#8221; Tom waved to Eileen to be calm. When he turned to Vivian, his eyes immediately became sharp.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;You ought to deal with the things that happen to you as a store manager. Now it have such a bad influence in our store. Shouldn&#8217;t you reflect on it?&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Vivian was sullen. Tom obviously didn&#8217;t give her the chance to explain it and blamed her for it directly. Today, if the matter couldn&#8217;t be solved, she would take the blame for the faults of her.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Then what should we do, Sir?&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Vivian, I know you have done so much for our store. Go back to rest for a while. I&#8217;ll report the situation to the leaders and wait for their decision. And Eileen will take over your work for duties these days.&#8221; Tom was so &#8216;reasonable&#8217;.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Eileen looked at Tom at a loss and asked carefully, &#8220;This is not good, Tom.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   In fact, she was so happy to hear his words. She didn&#8217;t waste her time selling her body to get this opportunity. As long as Vivian went back, she had the right to administrate the affairs.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;You are the Deputy Store manager. The store manager has a rest. There is nothing inappropriate for you to maintain the operation of the store.&#8221; Tom looked at Vivian, who was calm, and asked cunningly, &#8220;Do you have any problem, manager?&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;No.&#8221; Now that things had come to such a pass, even if she argued, they would find a new reason to deal with her.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   She had just worried about not having time to spend with Roe. It&#8217;s nothing serious to quit her job. Her major is not business administration. It just caused a little influence on her.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Manager&#8230;&#8221; Komastu and other employees who got along well with Vivian was reluctant to watch her leaving.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Vivian smiled at them and said, &#8220;I&#8217;m ok, just let me go back to have a rest and then I&#8217;ll come back.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   They knew what her leaving meant, and they were not saying anything.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   As for the woman, she seemed to have changed suddenly. Eileen sent her away in several words.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   After sending the woman away, Eileen saw Vivian approaching slowly holding a paper box, she deliberately lowered her voice and said in smug satisfaction, &#8220;Do you really think that you can win? Dream on!&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;I hope your store manager can be a long-term success.&#8221; Vivian didn&#8217;t care about it and left a word, and kept walking away.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Eileen looked at the back of Vivian resentfully. Even if she had won, the resentment still cannot be subsided. Why? Why can Vivian be so calm? Won&#8217;t she be unwilling even if her work was taken away by her?   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   What a hypocritical woman!   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Vivian looked up at the dazzling sunshine in the sky and slowly accepted the fact that she had been suspended indefinitely.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   It was not appropriate to go back so early. Go back and put the things down first.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   A familiar figure came up. &#8220;Vivi, you get off so early today.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;John.&#8221; Vivian stopped.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Vivi, you are&#8230;&#8221; John was going to find Vivian, but he suddenly got busy and managed to finish the business. He wanted to take her off work and apologize. He didn&#8217;t expect to see her come out with a box in her hand.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;It&#8217;s just suspension. It&#8217;s not a big deal.&#8221; Vivian said with a relaxed face.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   John reached out to take her box. He knew that she was unwilling to say it, so he didn&#8217;t ask about that, &#8220;It&#8217;s OK to suspend. You can relax these days. You didn&#8217;t have a good rest yesterday, did you?&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Speaking of yesterday, Vivian&#8217;s face was a bit embarrassed. Drinking was really a mistake. She couldn&#8217;t trust Selina anymore, Vivian thought.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;I went out with my friends late yesterday, so I didn&#8217;t have a good rest.&#8221; Vivian looked at John, who knew nothing about yesterday, and felt guilty.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   William and I have not completely broken off, while I agree to stay with John. I&#8217;m a bad woman, right?    <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;What are you thinking? Why don&#8217;t you speak suddenly?&#8221; John looked at Vivian and asked.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Vivian suddenly came to her mind and said smilingly, &#8220;No. Nothing. Maybe it&#8217;s too hot. I&#8217;m in a trance.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Vivi, let&#8217;s celebrate the &#8216;liberation&#8217;.&#8221; John pointed to the box in her hand.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   It is liberation! Vivian nodded, &#8220;Well, it&#8217;s better to be obedient than to be polite.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Vivian&#8217;s phone suddenly rang, and she said apologetically, &#8220;Just wait a minute.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Ok.&#8221; John nodded.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Vivian looked at the caller ID and answered the phone directly, &#8220;Angie, what&#8217;s up?&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Vivi, where have you been these days? I can&#8217;t find you. Come out quickly. I have something to do with you.&#8221; Angie&#8217;s soft complaint came from the phone.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Vivian glanced at the man beside her, who was as warm as jade, and said to the person on the phone, &#8220;I&#8217;m sorry, Angie, I&#8217;m afraid I can&#8217;t go out with you now. I&#8217;ll call you back later, OK?&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Angie said pitifully, &#8220;Oh no! Am I still your best friend? I&#8217;m so sad.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   John saw Vivian was in a quandary. He had heard Angie&#8217;s voice just after she got on the phone. He knew that Angie was looking for Vivi again.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Vivi, you go first. Call me later and I&#8217;ll pick you up.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Vivian knew that John said it on purpose. Angie was urging her all the time, so she had no choice but to promise, &#8220;I know. I&#8217;ll go to you now.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Vivi, I know you&#8217;re the best. I&#8217;ll wait for you in the cafe.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Ok.&#8221; Vivian hung up and didn&#8217;t know how to explain to John.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;You don&#8217;t have to explain. It&#8217;s OK. Go quickly. Don&#8217;t let her wait, or she will urge you again.&#8221; John still understood Angie&#8217;s temper.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   If she went there too late, Angie would not be happy. &#8220;I&#8217;ll go first.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Shall I take you there?&#8221; John didn&#8217;t want to miss any chance to get along with her.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;No need, it&#8217;s very close. I&#8217;ll take a taxi.&#8221; Vivian was embarrassed to let John give her a ride.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Vivi, your box.&#8221; John was about to remind her when the car had left, and he shook his head in a spoiled way. It&#8217;s the same when he gave it to her later.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   When John put the box in the back case, one of the photos in the box came out accidentally. After hesitating for a few seconds, he reached for it.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   What fell out was a picture of a full moon child, with a pair of curious big eyes on his tender face and bubbles in his mouth. He looked very cute.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   How could Vivi have a picture of a child&#8230;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   \u000f\u000f\u000f\u000f\u000f\u000f\u000f\u000f\u000f\u000f\u000f\u000f\u000f\u000f\u000f<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Sir, I have carefully checked these shoes.
