Chapter 120
Chapter 120
To be honest, even I didn't understand what had happened today. I didn't expect my ex-husband to stand with my ex-boss for my own business.
Louie was simply an outsider. Everything had nothing to do with him. We had only met a few times and worked with his colleagues. But today's meal had also put him together. No one could experience that kind of embarrassment and shame.
I even felt that I was unlucky and a disaster. No matter who met me, I would not have good things. The more I thought about it, the more sad I felt.
Realizing that I might lose control of my emotions, I quickly lowered my head and whispered when the elevator door opened, "I'm going to the bathroom. You go back first!" Ignoring Louie's worried voice, I walked quickly to the corner and didn't go to the bathroom. I went to the corridor because no one was there. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
After closing the security door, I sat alone on the stairs, buried my face between my legs, and burst into tears.
There were too many grievances in my heart. In the two-hour lunch break, I not only saw Zeng Sheng and Callen, but also saw Harrison, who I hadn't met for a month. There was also such a conversation. No matter how hard I thought about it, I couldn't bear it.
I promised Harrison that I would give up, but he was saying that I had hooked up with Louie not long after I left him. I was really sad to hear such words from him.
What's more, even if I cry, I can't cry too loudly because I'm afraid that my colleagues will hear me. I can't ask for leave because I'm in a bad mood, which will leave a bad impression on the leaders. It’s the best result for me to have a stable job.
"Don't think about those unrealistic things, don't think about Harrison's past, and there are also people like Callen and Maisy who have always looked down on me. I must live a life that I can't let them look down on me!"
Dong dong dong!
The knock on the door made me freeze instantly. "I didn't lock the door just now. Did the person on the other side of the door hear my cry, so he didn't push the door open?"
At the thought of this situation, I was no longer in the mood to cry. I quickly stood up from the stairs and wiped the tears on my face. When I opened the door, I looked down apologetically and said, "Sorry, I didn't know there was someone outside. I'm really sorry!"
"It's me."
I was stunned and slowly looked up. Sure enough, I saw Louie standing in front of me with a smile on his face. "Why are you here?"
"It's almost time for the meeting. I'm afraid you'll forget the time," he explained.
I didn't know how to answer because I seemed to realize that he had been standing at the door all the time. That was to say, he had been at the door from the beginning, crying when I came over and sat on the stairs.
All kinds of feelings such as shame and embarrassment came to my mind in an instant. I didn't know how to speak at this time.
However, Louie acted as if nothing had happened. He handed me a piece of wet tissue and said, "This is for you. Hurry up and wipe your face."
Looking at the wet tissue in front of them, I didn't know whether to take it or not. For a moment, they were in a deadlock.
"Here you are!" Louie put the tissue in my hand helplessly. "They are all grown-ups. I won't talk nonsense."
After saying that, Louie turned around and left. I looked at his back and suddenly lost my voice.
As Louie had said, he did not speak randomly. As for my slightly swollen eyes, as long as I lowered my head, nobody would find out. After all, we were all here to work, so we would not care about people or things that had nothing to do with us. Previously, I thought that it was very inhuman, but this time, I suddenly felt that it was good to be inhuman.
When they got off work, Louie said that he would send her off, but I refused. "I want to go back alone and walk alone."
"I wanted to be a hero to save the beauty, but it seems that I have no chance." Louie looked disappointed.
I was amused by him. "What kind of hero is saving a beauty? If you don't give me a ride, maybe you can save a beauty."
“You are in a bad mood today. If I can make you in a good mood, it will save the beauty."
I didn't know how to respond to such a theory, so I simply shut my mouth.
After leaving the company and returning home, I didn't choose the subway that I had been taking all the time. Instead, I chose the bus. At about five o'clock, it was the rush hour when I got off work. In the past, I would never take the bus because it was really too crowded.
But today was different. I suddenly wanted to take a bus. Looking at the crowded cars, I had a different feeling in my heart, so that I could clearly feel that the world was not so cold.
It's dark. The neon lights on the street are colorful and seem to match my loneliness.
I didn't go straight home when I got off the car, but ran to the snack restaurant where I used to eat with my mother. I ate a bowl of rice noodles and a few steamed buns. When I ate, the boss looked at me from time to time, probably because he was worried that I would have an accident because I was in a bad mood.
The boss knew about my mother's death. After all, my mother and I used to come here often. The boss was also very familiar with us. When I finished eating and left, the boss especially gave me a lollipop and said that it was brought back by my daughter. Eating it could make people happy.
I didn't refuse. I put the lollipop in my mouth and staggered toward the community.
In fact, this world was quite beautiful. Although there were bad things happening every day, there were also good things, weren't there?
Thinking of this, I seemed to really forget the unpleasant days during the day. Those things were all forgotten by me. But when I walked to the gate of the community, I saw a familiar car and a car plate number.
"People will never forget what they want to remember. There is no way to memorize the memory of death that they don't want to remember. The thing about Harrison belongs to me, so I can remember the details of his matter clearly. I have said that I want to forget it, but I still remember it as soon as I see this car."
I stood still not far away. Because of the yellow street lights, I couldn't see whether there was anyone in the car or not. I only knew that there was no sign of Harrison around the car. I mustered
up my courage, bowed my head and quickly walked past the car, and then entered the community.
The moment I entered the neighborhood, my heart was finally at ease, but there was an inexplicable sense of loss. But this sense of loss only flashed for a moment, and soon I forgot it.
I sneaked a peek at Harrison's car and found nothing, so I turned around and walked into the community. When I went upstairs, I was wondering why he came here. It couldn't be because of me, could it?
