Still Mr. Law.
Eleanor couldn't help but feel a little helpless seeing his persistence.
She didn't accept his friend request, but instead deleted the messages.
When she was about to exit WhatsApp, she saw someone calling Bernard in a group chat with previous clients they had worked with.
The group was created by the Ratliff Group's president's office to maintain customer relationships, and the people in the group were mostly senior leaders of the group.
She thought the company would remove her from the group after her death, but they didn't.
The person who wanted to communicate with Bernard was Ryan Mallory, the general manager of the Mallory Group. He seemed to have urgent matters for Bernard, but couldn't find him, so he spoke in the group chat.
But Bernard would never reply to such a message. He joined this group only because the people from the Ratliff Group had persuaded him in various ways.
Thinking back to the past, Eleanor's fingers involuntarily clicked on his profile picture. After they broke up, she had blocked him. Now they were no longer friends, but she could still see their previous chat history.
When she opened it, she saw a conversation from three years ago:
[Bernard, you've been on a business trip abroad for three months, when are you coming back?]
This was the message she had sent him when she was worried that she wouldn’t have enough time to see him back, but he didn't reply.
As she scrolled up, their conversations were very brief, nothing special.
The only thing that made her feel warm was when he was sick and sent her two messages.
One was: [I miss you]
The other was: [My stomach hurts, come see me]
It was late at night, and she immediately put on her coat, bought medicine. She went to find him after seeing these two messages.
