It was Rita who broke the terrible silence first. "I'm back, Chason."
"You Why are you here? " Chason came back to his senses from the shock. He looked at this once familiar face, but his eyes were full of coldness.
A sense of loss instantly occupied Rita's heart. Over the years, she had imagined countless times when she would meet with him again, but she did not expect that they would meet in such a place. What was more unexpected was that his reaction was not excitement or surprise, but questioning.
Rita said with a faint smile, as if she didn't care about his questioning at all. "Of course I will come to see you when I come back. When I came here, you happened to be in the meeting room. Larry asked me to wait for you in the office. "
Chason's face changed slightly, "It's Larry's fault. I'm sorry."
"Chason! Do you have to be like this? " She felt as if a knife were piercing her heart when she saw his politeness and alienation. Although she had guessed all this, she couldn't accept it when she really faced it.
Five years had passed.
In the past five years, he had waited for her for more than four years. At the same time, he tried to forget her for four years until Claire appeared.
He had never thought that he would fall in love with Claire, and that kind of love became clearer and clearer as time went by. It was Claire who let him know what true love was.
In the past, he thought that his affection for Rita in his life was his only love. Later, he finally understood that that kind of love was more a kind of unwillingness to the regret in his youth than love. He didn't want to admit defeat, so he always hoped that the girl who left him first could come back to him one day. He didn't want her to come back, but he wanted her to surrender.
"Rita, I'm sorry." In the end, he softened his voice. After all, she was his old lover, and also the childhood sweetheart that grew up together. Since he had let it go, there was really no need to take it to heart. "I was too emotional just now. You know, I don't want others to enter my office without my permission."
Others? Rita's heart ached. In his eyes, she was already someone else. Even Larry, who knew some of their past, didn't treat her as an outsider when he saw her. But in his eyes, she was an outsider, "It's okay. We haven't seen each other for so many years. Can you sit down and catch up?"
"Of course." Chason nodded and invited her to the coffee shop on the top floor of the company like a gentleman.
The coffee shop was newly built after Chason took over the Jiang Group. As an open-air coffee shop, standing on the top, one could see the most prosperous area of S City. Looking down at all this, Rita sighed in her heart, "I remember that when we traveled to Italy, we also went to a coffee shop similar to this structure."
He smiled faintly and said, "Yes, the inspiration for building this coffee shop did start from that trip."
