Vivian had just finished preparing the documents for everything, and then while waiting to leave work, suddenly in the work group, Eda sent a message.
Looking at this overtime message, Vivian's heart burst with helplessness. She knew it must have been Hanley's idea, because Eda never let people in the department just work overtime.
Even if she knew it was Hanley's idea, she couldn't say anything, so she could only silently pick up her phone and call Holden.
Holden, who received Vivian's call, was very happy in his heart, "Hello, Vivian, I happen to be leaving from the office now, you can get off work now, right?"
The excitement in Holden's tone made Vivian feel guilty.
From the beginning, she had been consciously ignoring the fondness in Holden's eyes, but it seemed that she had accidentally given him the wrong impression.
Holden is a good person, and she doesn't want to hurt him, but she doesn't want to lose such a friend ......
Vivian had been hesitant; she didn't know what to do to make Holden understand that she only saw him as a friend.
"What's wrong?"
Vivian hesitated to speak, Holden's heart more or less understand.
Although the tone was still calm, but the sense of disappointment slowly spread up.
"Sorry, I have to work late tonight!" Vivian still can't say anything directly to Holden, can only directly say the purpose of her call.
"Oh, it's okay, work is important, there's still a chance we can go together anyway."
Because of Vivian, Holden specially asked the driver detective to check Qin's Group, and he knew that Vivian's boss - Eda, would never ask people in her department to work overtime, unless something very serious happened.
Holden knew better, Plan B was running smoothly now, and Eda naturally wouldn't just ask people in her department to work overtime.
Vivian needs to work overtime tonight, and there is only one reason for that, and that is Hanley.
Although it is not clear what happened to the two, but even if the person beside Vivian is not him, he will not allow Hanley to get close to her again.
He would never allow Hanley to hurt Vivian again!
"Work hard tonight and take you out for a late night snack after work."
Because of the emotions just now, Vivian was trying to refuse, but before she could say anything, Holden spoke first to stop it.
"Don't refuse me, or don't go home alone at night."
Faced with Holden's gentle voice, Vivian could not say the word "no". His voice seemed to have a magic power that could make her compromise instantly.
"Okay! I have to call you before I get off work."
Vivian hung up early after saying that she really didn't want to give Holden any more illusions, hoping that he would understand what she meant.
Holden, who was hung up, laughed bitterly and didn't say anything, but picked up his phone and began to check where the best late night snacks were.
He had waited for so many years, would he care about these short days?
After talking to Holden on the phone, Vivian had no desire to work.
