“You’re mine and no one can take you away...”
Her flushed cheeks were breathtakingly beautiful, like the evening glow on the horizon.
But not this moment. She felt like a stranger to me.
When she saw me not saying anything, she continued with a hint of reproach, “With all those employees around earlier, I had to keep things professional. Otherwise, who would respect me?”
"Please, try to understand me, okay?"
At the end of the words, she showed a pitiful expression, as if I had wronged her and made her suffer great injustice.
“Is that all? Isn't it because you care about Julian more than me?" I asked seriously.
“What are you thinking!”
She hastily denied it. "Don't overthink. I only think Julian is talented. I admire him and want to keep him ...”
Before she finished speaking, Julian's voice sounded.
She left after saying, “After the annual meeting, let's take a boat tour around the city to watch the fireworks.”
Then she turned and hurried away.
As I watched her, I shook my head in disappointment and muttered to myself, "Do you think I'm an idiot?"
In fact, there were some warning signs before today's incident.
