After hearing my story, Emma was silent for a long time.
Seeing me quiet, she joked: “What, are you feeling sorry for her?”
I shook my head.
At this point, I had no feelings left for Lily whatsoever.
If there was any hatred before, upon learning of her current situation, I had completely let it go.
Lily and I met when we were young. We were once passionately in love. When we got married, we both thought we would walk hand in hand through a happy and fulfilling life together. We never imagined how unpredictable life can be, that our love would be exhausted so quickly.
And now, she would likely spend the rest of her life in prison.
I came back to my senses: “Are you really resigning? Won’t you reconsider?”
Emma had submitted her resignation letter to the company.
“I’ve been thinking about it for a long time. After working for so many years, I want to give myself a break.”
Unlike her gentle appearance, her personality had always been decisive.
Back when I wanted to make Lily jealous and asked for her help, she agreed without hesitation.
Now with resigning, once she made up her mind, she didn’t waver.
I raised my teacup in a toast: “Then I wish you a happy vacation and all the best!”
She pretended to be angry: “I thought you would try to keep me here!”
I froze.
She smiled and returned the toast: “Just kidding.”
With that, she gracefully left.
Sunlight scattered across her figure as she walked away, stunningly beautiful.
Watching this scene, my heart inexplicably raced.
But I didn’t rush to chase after her. Instead, I played with my teacup.
After all, we have all the time in the world.
(The End)
