Terence put his phone back to his pocket. His eyes narrowed as he looked at her coldly. "What do you want to do?"
With determination and stubbornness on her face, Clara winked at the security guards standing beside her, and they quietly left. Only Terence and Clara stood on the path.
There was a trace of frustration and disgust in Terence's eyes. When he was about to leave, Clara stretched out her hand to stop him.
"I like you, Mr. Terence, can you try to like me?" Finally, Clara bared her heart to them, with tears in her eyes, which were brimming with deep affection and pleading. This was the first time that she had confessed her love to a man. Her heart was pounding! But she couldn't care less. The closer she got to Terence, the more she was attracted by him. Even if she only had some communication with him on work, she couldn't resist his love!
"I'm sorry, but I won't give it a try." Terence narrowed his eyes
"Can't you just give me a chance?" It was the first time that Clara acted in such a humble manner. She had always been a strong woman. She always fought for the first place no matter how difficult it was. But when facing Terence, she threw away her self-esteem and dignity, uncovered the hazy veil of their love. She knew that Terence was so smart that he could even guess that she liked him. But if she didn't say anything, then Terence would never say anything.
She didn't want herself to even have a chance to say her affection to him.
Hearing that, Terence breathed a sigh of relief. If Clara kept being ambitious to him, which would make Vivian misunderstand, it would be better to say it out and refuse her with no mercy.
"I already have a girlfriend." Terence said ironically, "That girl is Miss Clara's cousin. It was said that one could not bully a friend's wife. It makes sense to us three. "
"So what? You are just boyfriend and girlfriend. You are not equal to the point that you only have her. " Clara widened her eyes, seeming more powerful, "Don't you think our first meeting is a God's gift? We look at each other and think we are the blind dates for each other... "
"But it's Vivian who is going to have a blind date with me." Terence interrupted her impatiently, "if you really think it's fate, then let me tell you, the relationship between me and Vivian is far beyond that. I think it's my destiny to meet her for the first time. "
"The first time?" Clara said trembling, "You..." when? Didn't you meet in the coffee shop for the first time? "
"No, it's not." Terence said loudly, "If you have to know that Fine. " Terence shrugged and told her all about his first encounter with Vivian.
She stumbled out of the sidewalk? Hearing that, the expression in Clara's eyes changed. How could Vivian...
Noticing that Clara kept silent, Terence added, "I'm going to marry Vivian."
"Get married? !" Surprised, Clara furrowed her eyebrows. "Have you decided?"
"Yes." Terence nodded and took a glance at her. Then he turned around, intending to walk away.
Her mind was a total mess. Seeing the receding figure of Terence, she could only cry out, "Terence!"
Terence stopped and frowned. "I hope Miss Clara will forget what happened just now tomorrow. I don't want to delay our cooperation because of this episode." Then he walked away hurriedly.
"Terence! Terence! " A myriad of thoughts crowded into Clara's mind. She took a few steps after chasing him, and then she muttered, "That's not what I want to say..."
As soon as the figure of Terence disappeared in the corridor, Clara felt so depressed that she couldn't say anything. She pressed her chest with one hand and wondered, 'Terence is going to marry Vivian?'? But Vivian... Did she also have dizziness? Which was one of her mother's diseases before she died!
It was nearly half past ten when Terence called Vivian back as he walked out. If he didn't call her back in time, she must be more angry.
"Beep, beep, beep Sorry, the subscriber you dialed is not answered... "
"Sorry, please redial later..."
He dialed four or five times, but no one answered. Terence frowned and quickly came to the parking lot. He rushed to Vivian's house while calling his father.
Half an hour later, Terence successfully arrived at Vivian's house. As soon as Jacob opened the door, Terence made a deep bow. "I didn't expect that this is the first time I have come to visit."
Jacob took a glance at Terence and nodded with satisfaction. He said in a low voice, "It doesn't matter. It's because Vivian is too willful. Sorry to bother you come here, Terence." Then he pointed to Vivian's bedroom and continued, "She is staying there."
Terence took a look at the direction of the room but didn't say anything.
Jacob smiled and knew what happened. He then said, "I'm going to the hospital on duty. You can stay here to stay with Vivian. Sorry to trouble you."
"Thank you, uncle Jacob." Terence immediately expressed his gratitude, as he knew that Jacob was creating an opportunity for him.
Jacob smiled, "I'll go and ask Vivian to come out. If you ask her out in this way, she won't come out." Terence nodded and followed him obediently.
Jacob walked to the door of the room and knocked. He moved closer to the door and asked, "Vivian, are you asleep?"
The room was quiet for a few seconds. "Not yet." Vivian answered in a muffled voice.
"Dad will go to the hospital on duty then. Won't you come out to see me off?" Jacob asked again.
As soon as he finished his words, a rustling sound came from the room. Terence stood behind Jacob and waited for the door opening nervously.
