Joey’s heart began to race at the sight of Allen’s car. She had turned off her phone for the whole day to avoid his calls. Thus he hadn’t seen her this morning as they had agreed last night. But she hadn’t expected that he would have come to her company to pick her up.
“Sarah, let’s use the back door.”
Joey hurriedly took Sarah’s arm and hid behind a pillar.
Sarah was confused, “Why the back door? Philip is waiting for us outside.”
“Why is Philip here?”
Joey was perplexed. She had been distracted by Allen and had no idea of Philip’s presence.
“I asked him to come here…”
Sarah lowered her head.
She had intended to break up with John Walter. Thus she had made an appointment with Philip to ask whether he would get back with her. Now she had made up with John Walter. But Philip showed up too. She didn’t know what to do.
Joey figured out what was going on with Sarah. She wasn’t happy, “Sarah, since you’ve chosen John Walter, please clear things up with Philip as soon as possible. He is a good man. Don’t hurt him.”
Sarah wasn’t happy either, “Hurt him? Aha, I’m afraid I’m not the one who has really hurt him.”
Philip had always loved Joey. His heart would probably only ache for her.
Joey was now too confused to take the hint. She paused and made up her mind, “Then you can use the front door. I’ll use the back door.”
She hurried to the back door of the company.
Sarah assumed that Joey just didn’t want to see Ben Hawk, so she didn’t stop her. Sarah turned around and walked out of the front door.
Joey had told her about Ben Hawk’s wandering eye. But Sarah certainly didn’t know that he had been cheating on Joey with her own sister.
Philip was waiting at the door. Handsome as always, he attracted much attention of office ladies.
“Sarah, why did you ask me to meet you here?”
Philip greeted her. He was a little disappointed when he found that there was no one else behind her.
