"You hit me?" Roland Wang did not expect that Monica, who had always been obsequious, dared to hit him.
"You listen, I have tolerated you for a long time. Just because you have tons of money, it means nothing to me!" Monica was angry and her voice was not as gentle as usual.
"You want to get fired?" There had never been a woman who dared to do this to him. Roland was also furious, "Believe it or not, I will fire you!"
"I quit. Remember, it's not you who fired me, it's me who fired you!" After saying this, she threw the mobile phone that Roland Wang had assigned to her in front of him, and then left the ward with her head held high.
Seeing that she wasn't being gentle and obsequious as usual, Roland Wang was shocked and forgot to speak. He couldn't think straight until Monica's footsteps disappeared. He touched his burning face and smiled. "Little wild cat, I like it!"
In the dark night, a black car parked in the open space next to the alley of the tube- shaped apartment. The car was noble and luxurious, with smooth lines. The residents of the tube- shaped apartment would be very familiar with it.
In the past two years, it was often seen here. The driver was a young man, who was deep and introverted. He looked noble and extraordinary. Every time he came in the evening, and left in the late night.
At first, people were very surprised at its appearance, but then they often saw it and it became a common thing. No one had ever talked about it.
A No.8 bus arrived the bus stop, and the door opened. Monica got off the bus with a big briefcase and walked toward the alley. The alley entrance was dark, but she did not stop at all. She continued to stride through the alley entrance. She had lived here for so many years, and even with her eyes closed, she could feel her way home.
Quarmy Huo was wearing a black suit under the big tree in the open space downstairs of the tubeshaped apartment building. He was tall and handsome. He stood quietly under the tree, staring at a window upstairs.
The window was old and the wall was mottled, but he stared at it like he was haunted, as if there were the most precious things there.
The sound of footsteps was hurried, and it sounded so clear in the silent night. Quarmy Huo quickly turned his head and saw a slender figure in his sight.
He stood in the dark for a long time and got used to the night vision. Seeing the figure, his hand tightened, and his face showed something like pleasant surprise.
Monica did not notice a person standing under the tree at all. She walked out of the alley and went straight to the tube-shaped apartment building. The street lights of the tube-shaped apartment building were broken, but it did not prevent Monica from going upstairs.
Probably because it was lack of refurbishment for a long time, the old wooden stairs were creaking from her footsteps. It was like the sound of heaven in Quarmy Huo's ears.
Soon, Monica walked over the stairs and came to her door. She took out the key and opened the door. She turned on the light, and the dim incandescent lamp was turned on. Quarmy Huo watched as she walked to the window and pulled the curtains, and the slender figure walked around in the room. He greedily stared at the figure in the window, his eyes were full of burning light.
It had been three years! Finally, he received her message, but he did not have the joy of reunion after a long separation. He saw her serving another man. Quarmy Huo once thought that he was dreaming, but when he saw it with his own eyes, he knew that everything was true.
A very complicated feeling welled up in his heart. He didn't know if he was happy or sad.
Half an hour later, the lights were off, and there was no light in the tube-shaped apartment. Quarmy Huo stood there for a while, and then slowly turned around, Monica! Long time no see!
