"That's it. You came here today for work, not to discuss our affairs." I put on a standard smile.
"I'm telling the truth!"
Just as I was about to leave, Harrison grabbed my hand and stopped me from leaving.
Although I didn't turn around, Harrison still said to himself, "There are some things I can't tell you now. I will tell you later."
His heart, which had been hanging in mid-air a second ago, instantly sank to the bottom.
"I shouldn't have had hope. I shouldn't have had any thoughts about him from the very beginning. All the previous things have given me a warning. Why should I listen to him here?"
I turned around and saw that his calm face had finally changed, but I couldn't be happy.
"We'll talk about it later."
As soon as he finished speaking, I saw a trace of disappointment on his face. Although I couldn't bear it, I finally withdrew my hand and resolutely opened the door and went out.
"Are you okay?"
I stopped in my tracks and looked up to see Louie's worried expression.
"Why are you standing here?" I asked with a forced smile, trying to hide my sadness.
He looked at the reception room behind me, but because I closed the door when I came out, he couldn't see anything.
The two of them stood at the door of the reception room. I asked him, but he didn't answer.
At this moment, I was not in the mood to waste time with him. I said, "I'll go back to work first, you..."
Halfway through my sentence, I was pulled by his wrist and walked forward. I didn't realize what was going on and wanted him to let go, but I kept silent on the way to meet my colleagues. If I struggled or opened my mouth, maybe the gossip in the company would start again.
Pulling me into the tea room, Louie first turned around, closed the door, and then looked at me.
"What's wrong with you, Louie?" I was a little annoyed.
He looked at me without saying a word, as if he was holding back his anger. But looking at him like this, I was even angrier. "If you have anything to say, just say it directly. Do you expect me to guess without saying a word?"
"Have you reconciled with him?"
"Make peace?" I realized what he meant and denied, "We have nothing to do with each other. How can you make peace with me?"
A smile appeared on Louie's face. He was surprised. "Really?"
This expression was strange, but I didn't think much about it. I just thought it was because he was concerned about me. "It’s not true. We are not the kind of relationship that you want.
Now we are just returning to the right path."
After saying this, my heart inexplicably ached.
My reaction is regarded as the resistance and punishment of the heart to me. If I resist, I won't tell the truth and will punish me for lying.
Humans were really strange animals. They could tell the truth as they wished, but they were punished because they were against their will.
"I think you should stay far away from him in the future. It can be seen that he has evil intentions toward you," Louie said.
