Alline was worried and asked "Are you all right? Do you want to have a rest in the afternoon? Jenny and the others will be responsible for the bidding. "He was too emotional to participate in the bidding.
The palms of Hiram were covered with sweat, and there was an indescribable pain spreading in the bottom of his heart. He looked straight at Emma, who was opposite to him, but she did not look up at him. She did not even save a glance at him, as if they were just strangers. At that moment, his heart was so painful that he could hardly breathe, and even his heart seemed to stop beating.
Five years ago, a big fire had burned all his hopes. He had collected the bones of Emma himself, but now she appeared in front of him. Then who had died in the fire five years ago?
At the thought of this, Hiram felt like falling into an ice cave. He had been remorseful for five years, but he didn't expect that the God would make such a big joke to him again. She was still alive. He looked in the direction of the two, and Emma turned her head to talk to the man beside her. Looking at this painting alone, he felt calm and peaceful. But at that moment, his heart seemed to be tightly gripped. He stood up all of a sudden, but Alline grabbed his sleeve and asked "What do you want to do? "
"Let me go! "Hiram said unhappily.
"Hiram, I don't care if she is Emma or not, but you can't go there now. You can do whatever you want after the bidding. "Alline stared at him. She had heard from Jenny that this bidding was very important and they couldn't lose!
If he left, it must mess up, so she couldn't let him go to find her now!
Even if she was Emma, that was still impossible!
All of a sudden, he grabbed her wrist with his backhand more and more tightly. The force was enough to crush her wrist. She frowned in pain, but didn't say anything, just looking at him with burning black eyes. "Alline, who do you think you are? It's none of your business! "
"Hiram, do you want everyone to laugh at you! "Alline refuted.
Behind him, Jenny was very worried. She knew what Miss Emma meant to Mr. Hiram, but he shouldn't have been impulsive at this time. And as for Mrs. Mo... She only hoped that Mrs. Mo could stop him.
After a long time, it was quiet in the meeting room, but they were oppressive and were in a stalemate. Looking into the eyes of Alline, Hiram finally calmed down and said, "I just go out to have a cigarette! "
Alline nodded and finally let go of his sleeve.
Hiram then walked out, followed by Alline. There was something was wrong with him. She couldn't let him go outside alone. When they walked out of the meeting room, Hiram lit a cigarette, stood outside the French window and looked at the scenery outside. He took a deep drag on the cigarette, but because he smoked too fast, he choked and coughed awkwardly.
"Well, are you still worried that I will be impulsive? "Hiram heard the footsteps behind him and sneered coldly!
"No. I'm worried that you'll commit suicide! "Alline sneered back.
All of a sudden, Hiram turned around and stared at her. "Alline, you are too much! I asked you to follow me, not to satirize me! Now, get out of here. I want to be alone for a while! "
