Her words made my heart tighten.
Curling up my lips slightly, I said jokingly, "In that case, it won't be good. He has to change. Otherwise, once his wife runs away with another man someday, he won't have time to regret it."
Regarding the relationship between Patrick and I...
The only chance for us to be together probably had come when we lived in the Most Powerful Family five years ago.
However, because of Patrick's self-righteousness, we were farther and farther away from each other.
And we would never be together again.
"You and Patrick..."
"It's all in the past."
Before Nancy could finish her words, I spoke in advance. Turning around, I went to press the button of the elevator.
What had happened between Patrick and I was left behind in the past. And the two of us wouldn't have anything to do with each other in the future.
At the thought of this, I couldn't help but be sour and distressed in my heart. Even so, I couldn't change anything, could I? As the saying goes, it's of no use crying over the spilled milk.
In the next few days, Nancy and I officially began to discuss setting up a studio.
And we would start with creating a logo for our studio.
In terms of the studio's logo, both Nancy and I had the same idea. We made a pattern of a butterfly and worked out several designs.
We quickly finalized a plan.
It was a pattern of a swallow-tailed butterfly with two different colors on each side. One was purple. And the other was white.
Regarding the purple color, we chose countless kinds of purple colors. After many attempts, we finally settled on one.
After that, we went to choose where we were going to set up the studio.
Nancy told me that she got an office with cheap rent. After going there to have a check, she found it suitable and agreed to rent it.
After she showed me where the office was, I was stunned.
It turned out that the office Nancy had found was actually the one that Patrick had once found for me.
Seeing this, I subconsciously refused, "We can't set up our studio here."
"Why?" Nancy was a little surprised, asking, "Come in first. Do you know how convenient the conditions here are? There is good public transport. And the layout is suitable. Most importantly, the rent here is very cheap!"
"Then do you know why its rent is so cheap? And who rent it to you?"
As far as I knew, the owner of this house should be Ji. After the incident back then, I didn't pay any attention to this place anymore.
I didn't know whether Patrick had sold the house or not.
"It's an intermediary." Seeing my reaction, Nancy seemed to realize something, "Do you know anything about this house? Alas! Although something has happened here, no one has died in it. I think we who are righteous won't have to believe in superstition. And we don't have to."
Looking at Nancy, I was certain that she was indeed kept in the dark.
After hesitating for a moment, I said, "The point is that the one who got into trouble here was me."
"What?"
Nancy was stunned.
I hesitated for a moment before telling her everything happening back then.
After hearing my words, Nancy looked incredulous, "Then...Then what should we do? Fearing that someone will sign the contract first, besides signing the contract, I paid three years' deposit in advance."
I was stunned.
I didn't expect Nancy to move so fast.
Looking embarrassed, Nancy came over and pulled me, "Patrick should have sold this house. Moreover, we are in a shortage of money at the beginning. It's indeed rare for us to rent an office at such a good location."
"All right."
Since Nancy had paid three years' deposit in advance, I couldn't go back on my words.
Nancy opened the door. Only after I went in did I find that everything inside was the same as before.
Seeing a few large tables placed together, I couldn't help but walk to the table where I used to sit and look at the opposite one.
Patrick had once put his computer there.
He once sat there.
Only a few months had passed. Even so, I felt like it had been a long time.
Nancy seemed to realize that I was absentminded. She came over and said, "You used to sit here before, right? Then you should sit in another place and vacate this empty space so that you won't think of someone."
"All right."
That was what I thought too.
I went upstairs and check, only to find that the office upstairs was also the same as before.
