I wanted to leave the banquet early, but Delia made me stay.
I followed her, my gaze lingering on her. For a moment, I forgot about Theo.
When I realized this, Theo was no longer around.
Could he really have gone back first?
I searched for him and finally saw him in the far corner.
He was not alone, though. Harriet was there too.
There was nothing in this corner, and only the two of them were there now. Seeing Harriet crane her neck with a flushed face, I could not help but wonder what they are talking about.
I chose a remote location not far from them and watched them secretly.
I could faintly see tears in Harriet's eyes. Her voice floated over, and she sounded pitiful. "Four years in college… I was in love with you for four years. Did you never notice it?"
"No," Theo replied with a cold face without hesitation.
Were they reminiscing about the past?
Theo was too indifferent, though. I felt sorry for Harriet. I used to be as humble as her.
I lowered my gaze, sighed, and continued watching the scene unfold.
Harriet paused and took two steps back as if she could not believe it. She then stepped forward again. "You studied management. I deliberately transferred to the commerce department and studied what I disliked just to be by your side. I just wanted to talk to you. I still remember us hosting a party together. We made a good couple. Ever since that day, people kept whispering in my ear to hold onto you. You saved me then. I thought you had feelings for me too."
