Lily hasn’t slept for the whole night, she spends it with tears. She cries until her eyes are sore and painful but still couldn’t stop it. She doesn’t want to cry anymore, but the whole person is trapped in sorrow, she can’t escape.
Waking up on the next day, the pillow on her head is still wet. When she walks to the bathroom, she looks at her pale yet ghostly face in the mirror, which makes her bite her lower lip softly.
After waiting for a night, he still hasn’t text back.
Disappointed, despaired, not hope.
This is it.
The thought flashes through her mind, which make Lily’s eyes turn red once again. She has unscrewed the faucet in advance. The sound of the flowing water ring into her ears. She then takes a handful of water and splashes it into her face, which make it can’t be differentiate which one is water or tears.
She doesn’t go to work, she doesn’t want to go, she doesn’t want to face anything that relate to Rex, afraid that she might be emotional and cries out.
She doesn’t want others to see such a coward of herself, and even couldn’t face the sweet place that she has spent with him before.
“Ding Ding”—
The phone rings out of the blue. She has deliberately volume up into maximum, just afraid that she might miss any call. Lily quickly picks it up and sees the caller ID. However, it is not the person that she hopes for.
After another second, the phone is connected. Abby’s crisp yet impatient voice come, “I can’t take it anymore. I really can’t bear it anymore. My grandfather recurrent again, he’s really annoying!”
Lily is uneasy with no emotion, “What happened?”
“It is always about work, always thinking of manipulating me. I’m a fucking person, not a tool, why can’t I decide what I want for 24hours?” Abby’s irritable yet hatred voice breaks into her throat, “I’m too annoyed. I’m going on a vacation, so no one can find me, I’ll let them worried!”
Lily’s eyelashes flickers, “Where do you want to go?”
“Not sure yet, H city? There is an island there, I always wanted to go but haven’t gotten a chance.”
“Let’s go together.”
“Okay, it is mainly…hey, wait, wait, what are you saying? Together? Are you going to?” Abby now realizes that Lily’s is not in her sense, “Is there anything happen to you?”
Lily’s lip twitches, but still hold it back, “Nothing, I just want to take a break for a while.”
“You come out alone, is Rex going to approve?” Abby’s mouth is fast and she regret it right after she said it, which make her quickly change the topic, “Why don’t you come here, we’ll talk face to face.”
“Okay, I’ll pack my luggage now.”
When Abby heard the word ‘pack my luggage’, she opens then closes her mouth again, only saying, “Be safe on the way.”
“Okay.”
At 9 o’clock in the morning, Lily has packed her suitcase and goes back to the living room to glance at the phone on the table. It is still empty. There is no message or call.
She numbly puts her phone down and drags her luggage to the door, one step, two steps. she finally closes the door and leaving a quiet room.
…
Forty minutes later, the taxi stops in front of Abby’s Villa. Although it doesn’t as classy as Rex’s Villa, it is still can be regard as luxurious.
She presses the doorbell, and soon the door opens.
As soon as she enters the living room, she meets Abby and is hugged by her, “You’ve finally came, I’ll so depressed in the house!”
On Monday, Abby’s house is tranquil, only Abby is left in the house, which makes her feels much more relief. Owing to the fact that she has quite a lot of scandal lately, Meeting Abby’s parents might be an awkward.
