In the afternoon, Sharon got a call from Jameson when she was about to go home.
"You're not home?" came Jameson's deep voice.
"I got bored, so I came to the studio.But I'm heading back right now."
"Alright.I have something to deal with today, so I might come back late.You don't have to wait for me."
"Did something happen in the company?’
"No, it's nothing serious.I'll tell you when I get back"
"Ok."
After the call, she saw Tiffany enter.
"Sharon, you're not leaving yet?"
Sharon got up from the seat and said, "Let's go."
Tiffany had taken a cab here today due to traffic control, so Sharon gave her a ride.
"Has your Mr.Proctor nagged you to go home yet?"
Sharon smiled, "He has something to do.He'll be home late tonight."
"Honestly, that jerk usually looks quite idle, but when he's busy, he's REAL busy.You get to breathe, though."
Sharon suddenly felt a little lost.
If these words had been said a year ago, it would've been dry humor.
Who would've anticipated so many things to happen in just a year? Soon, the car arrived at the destination.
Sharon rolled down the window and asked, "Is it here?"
Tiffany answered, "Yep.I'll go now.Drive safe!"
"Ok.See ya."
After Tiffany left, Sharon retracted her vision and then started the car again.
Back to the apartment building, when she got out of the lift, she heard a baby crying from next door.
Sharon halted her steps.
Having been here for quite some time, she had never heard the baby's noise before.
As she was about to head home, the lift door opened again.
"Ruben” Sharon was surprised, "Why are you here?"
Ruben stood there, looking very calm, "For dinner."
Sharon had indeed mentioned before that he could come for dinner when he wanted.But he had always turned down the offer.
What a surprise! Sharon figured that perhaps he was feeling bad about what had happened, so he came to her.
"Come on in" said Sharon as she unlocked the door.
Ruben followed behind.
He took a glance at next door before he got in.
Sharon asked as she was entering the kitchen, "What do you want to eat?"
"Whatever."
Ruben was not picky about food like Jameson was.
Sharon looked inside the fridge and decided to cook whatever was in there.
"Jameson is not here?"
Ruben came to the kitchen entrance.
Sharon answered while cutting vegetables, "He's doing something and will be back late."
Ruben frowned.
"Something? What?"
"I don't know.I didn't ask."
"Why didn't you ask? What if he's lying to you?"
Sharon turned to him and said, "If he’s lying to me, what good will it do to ask? He'll just find some excuse."
"You're not afraid that he'll do.....something behind your back?" said Ruben in an ambiguous way.
"He won't"
"You trust him?"
Sharon smiled and answered, "You'll know when you're in a relationship.If a person really loves you, he'll resist all temptations.But if he doesn't, then there's no point worrying because he'll do it anyway"
