If I had known that Louie would be here, I would have chosen to leave. I would never work here, and I would not have made the situation so awkward at this moment, although it seemed that I was the only one who was embarrassed.
At this moment, I began to think about whether I should resign or not. "Should I leave here? Should I go in and tell the staff of the personnel department, and then take back the information, saying that I don't want to work here and that someone I don't want to see is here?"
"You don't want to escape, do you?"
Just as I was lost in my thoughts, Louie suddenly spoke.
"It seems that I haven't done anything that makes you hate me, right?" he asked.
I shook my head awkwardly. "No. We've only met a few times. How could there be anything I hate?"
"Then why do you look like you've seen a ghost?" he continued to ask.
As he kept asking, I stood where I was, not knowing how to start.
"It's not that I saw him look like he saw a ghost, but the things between us are a little complicated. In addition, I didn't want to have anything to do with him when I confronted Harrison at the gate of the community."
To be exact, it wasn't just Louie. Even Harrison didn't want to think about it anymore. He was ready to treat those memories as a dream. Anyway, it shouldn't be my life. It shouldn't be too difficult to forget. Who knew that he would meet Louie here at this time?
I'm afraid I can't eat well or sleep well in the same company as him.
I smiled and explained, "I didn't expect to meet you here. It's inevitable that I would be surprised."
"That's good. I'm worried that you won't be willing to come to work when you see me here."
Hearing this, I could only smile awkwardly and then said, "All jobs need to be compared. Even if I didn't come to work, it wouldn't be because of you. After all, people want to go high."
"You may say so." Louie looked at me and chuckled. "Probably there is no better treatment than this company."
I opened my mouth but didn't answer.
Although I didn't want to admit it, Louie was telling the truth. It was not easy to find a new education group in Luo City to be treated like this, let alone a person like me who had fallen out with Changqing. It was even more difficult to find a job.
There was work in the front and Louie in the back. I hesitated and didn't know what to do.
"It's almost time. I'll treat you to dinner." After that, Louie went to press the elevator button and went in.
I looked at Louie in the elevator and refused, "No, I'm afraid I'll..."
"You didn't want to eat with me, so you deliberately found an excuse?" He interrupted me and asked.
I didn't have anything else to say next. Sometimes, when I was in contact with someone, I had to be very clear about it. The reason why I refused him was that I didn't want to continue to get along with him. In this way, their faces wouldn't be too ugly. I believed that most people were like this.
But I didn't expect that Louie happened to be a person who didn't follow the rules. I said so, but he could still say that he couldn't pretend to treat me to dinner. I really didn't know whether he was pretending to be stupid or on purpose.
In the end, I, who was not good at refusing, finally agreed to have dinner together.
In the elevator, I began to analyze it. I had already completed the formalities in the company. If I said that I wouldn't come to work tomorrow, I would definitely be asked to break the contract and compensate for it. Now I certainly couldn't do such a thing. Besides, it was hard to find a job now. After thinking about it, I thought that it was the most reliable job here.
I carefully looked at Louie's side face. He looked gentle and kind, not like a smiling tiger. Thinking back, I had never offended him since I met him. He shouldn't bother me, right?
Even if what happened to Harrison last time was my personal relationship, as a man, Louie wouldn't gossip about it, would he?
Thinking of this, I gradually felt relieved...
