To be honest, even I didn't understand what had happened today. I didn't expect my ex-husband to stand with my ex-boss for my own business.
Louie was simply an outsider. Everything had nothing to do with him. We had only met a few times and worked with his colleagues. But today's meal had also put him together. No one could experience that kind of embarrassment and shame.
I even felt that I was unlucky and a disaster. No matter who met me, I would not have good things. The more I thought about it, the more sad I felt.
Realizing that I might lose control of my emotions, I quickly lowered my head and whispered when the elevator door opened, "I'm going to the bathroom. You go back first!" Ignoring Louie's worried voice, I walked quickly to the corner and didn't go to the bathroom. I went to the corridor because no one was there.
After closing the security door, I sat alone on the stairs, buried my face between my legs, and burst into tears.
There were too many grievances in my heart. In the two-hour lunch break, I not only saw Zeng Sheng and Callen, but also saw Harrison, who I hadn't met for a month. There was also such a conversation. No matter how hard I thought about it, I couldn't bear it.
I promised Harrison that I would give up, but he was saying that I had hooked up with Louie not long after I left him. I was really sad to hear such words from him.
What's more, even if I cry, I can't cry too loudly because I'm afraid that my colleagues will hear me. I can't ask for leave because I'm in a bad mood, which will leave a bad impression on the leaders. It’s the best result for me to have a stable job.
"Don't think about those unrealistic things, don't think about Harrison's past, and there are also people like Callen and Maisy who have always looked down on me. I must live a life that I can't let them look down on me!"
Dong dong dong!
The knock on the door made me freeze instantly. "I didn't lock the door just now. Did the person on the other side of the door hear my cry, so he didn't push the door open?"
At the thought of this situation, I was no longer in the mood to cry. I quickly stood up from the stairs and wiped the tears on my face. When I opened the door, I looked down apologetically and said, "Sorry, I didn't know there was someone outside. I'm really sorry!"
"It's me."
I was stunned and slowly looked up. Sure enough, I saw Louie standing in front of me with a smile on his face. "Why are you here?"
"It's almost time for the meeting. I'm afraid you'll forget the time," he explained.
I didn't know how to answer because I seemed to realize that he had been standing at the door all the time. That was to say, he had been at the door from the beginning, crying when I came over and sat on the stairs.
All kinds of feelings such as shame and embarrassment came to my mind in an instant. I didn't know how to speak at this time.
However, Louie acted as if nothing had happened. He handed me a piece of wet tissue and said, "This is for you. Hurry up and wipe your face."
Looking at the wet tissue in front of them, I didn't know whether to take it or not. For a moment, they were in a deadlock.
