"Jennie......"
"Leave my office," Jennifer interrupted him, "I don't want to hear anything now. I have to work."
"Her name is Emi..."
"I am not interested in what her name is." Jennifer raised her eyes and looked at him. "It's working time and I don't want to hear about anything except for work matters."
Ivan met her sight, and she was looked aloof.
She was really angry. She took it to the heart.
This showed that she loved him, Ivan somehow felt warm, "I'm sorry."
"Leave." Jennifer stood up. "Don't you understand what I just said?"
She really didn't want to have this conversation now.
Ivan tried to explain, but didn't know how, "There's nothing between her and me."
Jennifer turned off the computer, walked around the table and said, "I will leave if you don't."
Ivan grabbed her arm again and stopped her. "Fine, I will leave." He looked at her. "I will go. Don't get angry." Then he turned around and left.
How should he explain?
Would it be rude to tell her the truth that he had been secretly investigating the necklace?
Would she feel sadder to know that he was prying into her deepest sorrows? What would she think?
He knew how painful it was to bring up the childhood trauma.
After Ivan left, Jennifer looked at the empty doorway, pursed her lips and sadness overwhelmed her.
