Serena could not help but laugh, but her eyes turned red. Then tears formed. The tears looked like clear crystals that sparkled in front of Anna's eyes.
She reached out her hand and touched Anna's cheek.
It was a little strong and Anna frowned, but said nothing.
-Does it hurt? -Serena asked.
Anna half-closed her lips, looked at her with pained eyes and whispered, -Of course it hurts, why are you pinching my cheek all of a sudden?
-It hurts, why didn't you say so? -Serena asked.
Anna froze for a moment, then finally understood what Serena's gesture meant. She angrily slapped Serena's hand and turned around.
-Bad Serena! You know I'm not as smart as you and you keep leading me into a trap.
-How am I leading you into a trap? I'm just pinching your cheek, who allowed you not to say that?
Said Serena, with more tears in her eyes.
When Anna turned around, she felt more comfortable talking this way, so she did not force her to turn around and said softly, "Do you understand what I just told you?
If you don't speak, no one will ever know that you are suffering. You know, like this time, when you told me you wanted to leave without saying why, and then you wanted to stay after you found out my situation. Anna, we are good friends. We should support each other, not you satisfying me and helping me, that would make you tired.
Anna was a little excited, but did not respond to his words.
-I already know all about your recent performance in the company," Serena continued.
-Serena, I...
Anna turned anxiously, and Serena noticed that her eyes were red, so her sudden turning away was because she was afraid of being discovered by Serena....
-What a fool you are,‖ Serena tried to smile, even though she had tears in her eyes.
There is no need to explain. I know you've been in a bad mood lately. And although you have always told me that you will recover, there are many things that cannot be forced and take time to recover.
Since you want to quit, then I agree.
Not expecting me to say yes so quickly, Anna was surprised for a moment, "Serena, I'm sorry, I made a mistake. I really don't want to stop, I just....
-I know," Serena gently interrupted her and said, "I know all that. You don't have to explain yourself. Do what you want and what you like. You don't have to worry about me. I will find a way to handle it.
-Serena... -Anna very much regretted this moment, earlier she did not want to stay because she was worried about causing a big loss to the company in its current state. She wanted to resign, hoping that Serena could find someone more capable of handling these things in her place.
But now that Serena had agreed, Anna was in a panic again. She tried to say something to hold Serena back, but Serena said directly, "You can pack your bags today.
Anna finally stopped moving and looked at her expressionlessly.
After a while, a tear slipped from the corner of her eye and Anna went to Serena and hugged her gently, -Serena, thank you.
Serena was also moved a little and held back her tears as she patted Anna on the back, -Come on, why are you being so dramatic?
