I lowered my head, and there was some bitterness on my lips. “That’s just self-deception. Cindy. Just go and live your life with Zedd. Don’t get involved in this. Otherwise, Delia won't let you go.”
“She won't let me go? Hmph, I’d like to see what she can do to me! As for you, Wanda, you’ve changed!”
Cindy turned around and left after she said that, leaving me to look at her free and easy back.
My thoughts raced as I watched her go.
I was not the one who changed; that person was.
I sighed silently. Shaking my head, I went back to my seat. Hammering the table, I was about to sit down when the office door opened again.
"Shannon?" I stood up again slowly.
I had not seen her for a few days, but she had lost a lot of weight.
Shannon merely threw me a glance before she went to her seat and packed up her things. “I’ve decided that I don’t want to care about Green Orange from now on. There’s no need to return my investment either. Let it end like this.”
She put her things into the box one by one, and every act of it saddened me.
I pried my mouth open and said, “Even if you’re not refunded, you’ll still be a shareholder. I’ll pay you the dividends on a monthly basis.”
“Suit yourself.”
My heart soured hearing her flippant answer.
I was the one who pushed her away, yet I was feeling a little regretful now. I wanted to open my mouth and ask her to stay, but in the end, no sound came out.
It did not take long before Shannon more or less cleared her table.
“I’ve worked on this before. You can implement it soon after taking a look at it. These are also the old accounts from before. They probably don’t need to be audited anymore.” Shannon was still informing me of all the relevant things.
“Alright.”
I accepted the documents and put them down. I wanted to say something, but Shannon picked up the box and said, “If there’s nothing else, I’m leaving.”
She sounded angry.
