“Nothing.” Alice thought for a while and then shook her head. She lowered her eyes and stared at the document in front of her.
She shouldn’t think of him anymore.
She should stay calm. Even if she saw him again, she should treat him as a stranger.
Alice closed her eyes. She found herself a mess.
“There must be something happened to you!” Yanis had stayed with her for five years, and knew Alice well. She could find the change of mood of Alice. She narrowed her eyes and bent down to approach her. She asked, “You’ve told that you went to meet Grace. But why did you come back so soon? Tell me, is that Grace bullying you?”
Hearing her words, Alice looked up at Yanis and found her angry, as if she was about to fight against Grace.
Alice jokingly said, “If she did bully me, what would you do?”
Yanis immediately clenched her fists and said, “If she bullied you, I would beat her up. Anyway, I am a woman, and no one dares to blame me for beating a woman.”
“Come on…It is a law-governed society. If you beat others, you would be punished.”
Yanis snorted and said, “Humph, it is a personal vendetta. Why can’t solve it by ourselves? Besides, I will just hurt her, not kill her.”
“It was only a joke. She didn’t bully me. I came back so early because Miss Lam had something urgent to deal with. Then I came back.”
“But you look terrible,” Yanis rested her chin on her hand and said, “Tell me, what happened?”
Hearing her question, Alice took a deep breath and then smiled helplessly. She said, “Why do you keep asking me this question. Nothing happened to me.”
“Why have you been sitting here in a trance for so long?”
“Because I was wondering what kind of design that Miss Lam wanted.”
Yanis barely believed her and said, “Well, if you have trouble, remember to tell me and don’t hide it in your heart.”
“Okay.”
After Yanis went out of the office, Alice felt relieved.
Yanis was very sensitive.
Alice should have hidden her emotions.
Even Yanis had found her distracted. Kennedy must have felt the change of her emotions.
No…
Five years ago, she disgraced herself and begged him to see her. But he still divorced her.
She couldn’t lose her temper in front of him anymore.
She must be quiet inside.
He had been a stranger to her.
At this time, her phone vibrated.
Grace sent a message to her.
Grace: [Excuse me, Shelly. I didn’t expect that what happened today. I’m sorry to delay your time. Can we make an appointment to meet tonight? We can meet in the same restaurant. It will be my treat.”
Night? Alice thought for a while and began to type.
Alice: [Sorry, Miss Lam, I have to work overtime in the evening. I will be busy tonight.]
