“What?" Sarah continued to stare at him in disbelief and continued, "You want me to be your girlfriend?"
"Well, isn't that what you always wanted?" Charles looked at her.
Sarah was in shock and didn't know how to respond. After a long time, she answered, "You're not joking?"
"You think I'm joking?" Charles stared at her. Although he looked like he was still playing, his tone was serious.
Sarah looked at him for a long time, with hundreds of thoughts rushing through her mind. Didn't he always humiliate her for pleasure? Why did he give in to her so quickly? It was all so confusing. Why has he now decided that he wants a romantic relationship with her? Or, was this just another cruel way of teasing her?
This man was so abominable. He never made her happy. Her fist gradually clenched, and her eyes became colder. She said coldly, "Are you going to humiliate me in a new way? You just want to get my heart, and then throw it away, don't you? Do you think that humiliating me to satisfy your amusement is funny?"
It had never occurred to Charles that she would react like this. She was so neurotic. He had revealed his true feelings and wanted to start from the beginning again, but her reaction made him angry. He said aggressively, "Is that all I am to you, just a bad guy without a conscience?"
Sarah stared at him without responding, trying to determine whether his words were true or not.
Charles felt so angry. He shook his head and said, "Well!" Then he raised his hand and swore, "My words are all true, do you believe it?"
Sarah was still unsure if she could trust him.
Finally, Charles said, "I have told you. If you don't trust me, I won't force you to stay. If you really want to resign, I won't stop you anymore. Just don't live to regret giving up such a good job and an excellent boyfriend." Saying this, he turned around to leave the office.
Sarah hesitated, staring at his back. She was totally at a loss. After all, she still loved him. She misunderstood him, so she said something hurtful. To her surprise, he was so sincere. If he really left, she would be sad. However, she didn't know how to call him back.
Unexpectedly, Charles stopped and then turned around to look at her, "Are you going to resign? Are you sure?"
Looking at him, Sarah didn't know what to say. She had already said those hurtful words, and now she was too ashamed to consider staying here.
"If you are hesitating, or you don't know how to say it, then come here. If you come here, it means that you are willing to be my girlfriend."
Sarah still looked at him, unsure of what to do.
"I give you three seconds. One…" Charles stared at her and counted, "Two…"
Sarah finally plucked up her courage and said. "If you don't deceive me, I'd like to be your girlfriend." After saying it, her face became completely red.
Seeing her red face, Charles was about to laugh, but he held it back, saying, "Come here!"
Sarah walked towards him slowly. Charles immediately pulled her into his arms and asked, "Are you sure you want to be my girlfriend?"
