My heart skipped a beat, but in order not to see through my uneasiness, I forced a smile and said, "I didn't participate in my previous life, just like he didn't participate in my previous life. In this case, why should I care so much?"
"You!" Maisy's face turned red with anger.
"If there's nothing else, I'll go to work first. I hope we won't have a chance to meet again in the future."
As soon as I finished speaking, I couldn't wait to leave. I didn't expect to be stopped by Maisy as soon as I turned around. Before I could speak, I said, "Even if you don't want to know, I still have to say it. Aviana is not only Harrison's first love, but also their childhood sweetheart!"
Hearing this, my mind went blank for a moment and I looked at her without saying a word.
What surprised me wasn't that Harrison and Aviana were each other's first love, but that they were childhood sweethearts. It wasn't that I didn't know how deep the meaning of childhood sweethearts was. Almost all women would mind that men had childhood sweethearts.
"Is it very painful?" Maisy asked me with a pure smile.
I waited for a long time before I shook off her hand and said, "It has nothing to do with you no matter what I do."
This time, I really turned around and left without hesitation, and my speed was very fast, as if someone was chasing me.
Because I don't know what happened behind her because I didn't turn around. Maybe I never took her seriously, so I don't have to worry too much.
Back at the office, everyone saw me and kept greeting them, asking me why I came to work after I asked for leave. I perfunctorily said that the matter had been solved, and I didn't want to say anything else. And my colleagues probably saw that I was not in the mood to press down, so they also left one by one.
I sat in my seat and looked at the computer, but I kept recalling what Maisy had said just now, repeating her first love and childhood sweetheart. It was undeniable that I cared about it very much, but I still couldn't help it.
"But why is it like this? I'm obviously a divorced woman, and my status is not as good as Harrison's. In principle, as long as Harrison doesn't dislike me, I should be very happy, but I'm secretly thinking about these things here."
"What's the point of arguing? Those things that they have been together with have already happened a few years ago. As long as Harrison is with me now, it will be fine. Yes, as long as the person who is with him now is me."
"I still have time to pay attention to work here. It seems that Sister Chelsea is indeed ready to marry into a rich and powerful family. She doesn't care about work at all."
When I was comforting myself, I was pulled back by this sentence. I turned my head and saw Liu Qian standing next to me with a chuckle. I looked at her and said nothing. Then I turned to look at the computer.
However, Liu Qian didn't give up because I didn't leave her. She approached me, deliberately lowered her voice and said, "In fact, I think it's good for Sister Chelsea not to go to work. She doesn't have to worry about food and clothing every day as a housewife. Isn't that what all women look forward to? But..."
Liu Qian changed the topic and said awkwardly, "Men nowadays like to have a fresh feeling. When that time comes, Mr. Stewart might..."
I stopped holding the mouse and slowly looked up at Liu Qian beside me. She said to me with a simple and harmless smile, "But Mr. Stewart is not like that kind of person, so you can rest assured. Sister Jian'an."
"Anything else?" I tried my best to keep my tone calm.
Liu Qian was a little stunned, and then she smiled awkwardly. "I just wanted to ask you because you just came to work, Sister Chelsea, and you were a little out of your mind."
"Then I'll thank you for your concern for me." After that, I ignored her and focused on my own business.
