On this day, the people in the department were discussing someone who had not been seen for a long time. I sat in my seat and listened to their discussion.
"You know, Queenie went to sea and was caught by her parents. They took her home on the spot and taught her a lesson."
"Ah? Who did you hear this from? Is it reliable?"
"Someone in our company saw her being taken back with their own eyes. Since she couldn't get by in Whaldorf City, she seemed to have gone back to her hometown with her parents now."
Queenie went back to her hometown with her parents?
I could not help but sigh deep down. If Queenie had put those little thoughts away, she could have continued to work at Grant Corporation. She would not have needed to go to sea and be brought home. Only she herself could be blamed for this.
With a sigh, it was time to get off work. I stood at the door waiting for Theo.
We had agreed to go to the Schumans’ residence for dinner.
Not long later, his car stopped in front of me. I got in and fastened my seat belt. "Let's go." "Why don’t you look very happy?" Theo could tell my low mood right away.
I glanced at him and said lightly, "I’ll definitely bump into Tyler when we get to the Schumans' home. I don't really want to see him."
Susan had already been driven away by Tyler, and now the person beside him was Sara. I did not want to see the two of them as I would definitely feel like they were committing adultery.
The man beside me seemed to have seen through my thoughts. His steady voice rang in my ears, "You're going back to see Carlson. If they're there, pretend you don't see them or just treat them like they're two dogs."
Hearing this, I covered my mouth and laughed. "I didn't expect to hear such words from your mouth."
"This is my experience. Every time I see someone I don't like at a reception, I do just that. It works very well. At least I feel at ease." Theo was driving the car and was only looking at me through the corners of his eyes.
He was right. Tyler and Sara were nothing. Even though I used to be terrified of Tyler, it was different now. He could not do anything to me.
Thinking of this, my once-depressed heart also calmed down.
