Ruben frowned.
"You invited me to dinner several times. I thought you were just welcoming your colleague, but now it seems not to be true, s o stop in time."
Ruben said, "You are the first woman I have a good feeling about. It's lucky for me t o meet you. I don't want to give up."
"You're rich and handsome. You can make better choices. I'm not the best."
Eileen said softly word by word.
"I'm divorced with a child, and I'm a cripple. Can your family accept me?
"Moreover, you have a good feeling about m e just because you spent time with me. If w e reduce the contact and the time spent together, you'll find that the so-called good feeling will turn into friendship."
"Why are you so sure? Do you know me that well?" Ruben asked.
"No, nor do I want to know you that well. You are just my colleague. There is no need to know you that well."
Eileen’s face was cold. "Thank you for your help these days. From now on, except for the necessary contact at work, please don't be around me. I don't like it. Thank you."
She didn't look at Ruben's face, taking Brad's hand and turning to leave.
Luke drove to the cinema.
When he saw that the movie was over, he was furious.
Raising his leg, he kicked the wheel hard.
The wheel didn't move, but his feet hurt so much that he jumped.
He didn't drive fast, especially when passing through a busy road where a car accident happened and caused traffic congestion. He had been waiting until the road was cleared.
He then drove to Eileen's apartment, leaning against the car. He waited for a long time and smoked one cigarette after another, throwing many cigarette butts to the ground.
Seeing Eileen wearing Ruben's coat, he could no longer suppress the anger that had been pent up inside him for many days.
