"George, enough." Violet raised her other hand to cover the phone, and said in a low voice, "You know I don't have that kind of feelings for you."
Although her voice was low, Stanley still heard it. Then he smiled faintly.
"I understand. I don't mean anything else. I just want to confess to you when I am sober. After all, I have liked you for five years. If you don't know, I still feel a little unwilling." George lowered his head and smiled.
Violet bit her lower lip, "I'm sorry, George..."
"You don't need to say sorry. The person who should say sorry is me. It is my liking that caused trouble to you, but don't worry. You have rejected me, and I will not think about it anymore. We are still the same as before, okay?” George looked at the white quilt on his body and said in a gentle voice.
However, there was no gentleness on his face and under his eyes, only a frightening gloom.
Violet didn't know. She nodded happily and agreed, "Okay!"
She was worrying about how to face him in the future.
Now that he said so, she naturally had no opinions.
"Deal! I have to hang up first. I have another checkup." George pushed his glasses and looked at the nurse who came in.
Violet gave a hmm and hung up the phone.
Stanley crossed his arms on his chest and glanced at her lightly, "Did you forgive him like that?"
"Otherwise?" Violet put away the phone, "He only did that to me when he was drunk."
Stanley sneered, "Do you think it is true?"
"Is it not?" Violet looked up at him with a serious expression on her face, "I know George. I have known him for five years. I know exactly what kind of person he is. He has never done this before. So I believe he didn't mean it."
"It seems that he brainwashed you very well." Stanley narrowed his eyes and said coldly.
Violet frowned, "Mr. Murphy, what do you mean? What brainwashing?"
Stanley stepped forward and approached her, "I mean, George is not as pure as you think. I’ve told you some time ago. He deliberately got you drunk and wanted to behave badly to you. This time he kissed you forcibly when he was drunk. You really thought it was all an accident!"
Violet smiled, "Mr. Murphy, don't you think your prejudice against George is too deep?"
"Do you think I said this because of prejudice against him?" Stanley clenched his fists.
Violet pursed her red lips, "You have a bad attitude towards George from the beginning. Isn't this prejudice?"
Stanley fell silent. After a while, he was filled with a cold aura. He sneered, "Well, so in your eyes, I’m this kind of person."
He lowered his eyelids, covered the emotion in his eyes, and turned away.
This woman actually said that the person she loved was him.
But between him and George, she would rather believe in George than him!
Stanley left. Violet looked at his back and panicked, knowing that he was angry. She reached out and was about to stop him.
But in the end, she resisted the urge and put her hand down.
Before returning last night, she had already decided to stay away from him. Even if she met him, she would treat him as a stranger, so why did she stop him now?
Lifting the bag chain on her shoulder, Violet smiled bitterly and walked towards the exit.
When she walked out of the building, she looked up at the sky. It was completely dark and still blowing cold wind. Presumably it was going to rain.
Violet shivered, rubbed her arms, took a taxi and left.
The next morning, Violet was awakened by Lily. There seemed to be something happy. Lily couldn't stop smiling.
