Chapter 253 Has She Given Up On Him
Lowell's heart skipped a beat when he got a call from Rory.
Rory had not been in the best of moods for some days now.
Unless it was necessary, Lowell wouldn't want to go anywhere near his office.
But this time, it wasn't just a matter of necessity.
Rory ordered him to come to his office.
Lowell had no choice but to bite the bullet.
When he got to the office, he slowly opened the door and stepped in.
"Mr.Casper, you called me," Lowell said tentatively.
Rory was seated behind his desk as always, holding a phone with buttons.
Lowell couldn't remember when last he saw one of those.He wondered what his boss was doing with such a device, but he didn't dare ask.
After waiting for a while and still getting no word from Rory, he decided to call his attention again.
"Mr.Casper?"
This time, Rory looked up from the phone in his hand and simply said, "Get the rumor about the land off the internet."
"Yes, sir."
Lowell nodded.
But Rory kept looking at him as if he was contemplating something.
Suddenly, he asked, "Have you ever loved someone for a long time, like maybe ten years?"
Lowell was taken aback.He had not expected Rory to ask him such a question.He hesitated for a moment before answering.
"I don't think I can be so faithful.I haven't loved someone for that long."
But Rory wasn't discouraged.
Instead, he pressed on.
"Well, if you loved a girl for over ten years, would it be easy to move on?"
"Of course not,"
Lowell instantly disagreed.
"A person who has been in love with someone for over a decade must be very faithful.Such a person won't easily move on."
Rory was quite surprised to hear this.Could it be true? Could Lowell be right?
"That's all.You can go now," he said with a dismissive wave of his hand.
Lowell wondered if he was just overthinking things, but it seemed like Rory was acting very strangely nowadays.But after this latest interaction, Lowell thought he could see some sign of a positive shift in Rory's attitude.It was not that he was now happy and in a good mood.
Far from it.It was just that his face was not as cold as it used to be.
Still, even with the slight change, Rory was no less fearsome than he looked when he was angry.
Lowell didn't dare ask any questions.
The only thing he could do was obey orders.
After Lowell had finally left, Rory was now alone.He leaned back on his chair and sighed.He picked up the phone again and looked at it briefly before putting it into his pocket.
