Chapter 158


    “I have been living here recently.”


    “Do you have a house here?” I asked stupidly.


    “Yes. I bought it three years ago. Do you want to go get a cup of coffee?”


    “No thanks. I’m in a hurry.”


    So Dn didn’t force the issue. “Then let me send you back.”


    Our question-and-answer conversation style was rather awkward. Looking back on our childhood, I


    couldn’t help but feel a little sentimental. Who could have expected things between us to be so


    miserable? If I hadn’t insisted on doing things my way and married Dn ording to my parents’


    wishes, my life would have turned out differently. At the very least, Dn would never have cheated on


    me the way Carson did, nor would I have met Jolene, that brazen best friend turned lover. Still, in the


    end, the dreams were just dreams. Besides, the past was already history. The only thing I could


    understand was the present and the future.


    He probably felt that the atmosphere had gotten weird, so he turned on some music. Then Madonna’s


    song ‘Crazy For You’ started ying. It was a song that I loved very much. Back then, it was a song I


    sang without fail every time I went to karaoke bars. When I heard the familiar melody, the emotions in


    my heart started to stir again. I didn’t want Dn to see the turbulent emotions I was experiencing, so I


    grabbed my phone and tried to pull myself away from the music. As soon as I turned my phone on, I


    saw a message from Eric: ‘Where are you?’


    my


    attention.


    Wow, isn’t he shy about asking me where I am? When I left, he didn’t even ask if I needed a ride! I’m


    sure he knew there were no taxis in the area. However, he was acting lovingly towards his lover and


    didn’t care about his client. While he could acquire thepany and be my boss in the future,


    that wasn’t the case at the moment. At the moment, I was not his subordinate. Therefore, his attitude


    towards me was exaggerating.


    So, I decided to ignore it. Instead, I started ying Puzzle Bobble on my phone. After ying for a


    while, I got another message from Eric: “There are no taxis in the area. Go back and I will send


    someone to send you back.”


    I continued to ignore his message and he called me a short timeter. In response, I rudely hung up my


    phone. Dn sent me back to thepany. Upon returning to thepany, I went to President


    Smith’s office to report the work.


    President Smith was quite surprised to see me. “Lilian, how did you get back here?”


    “A friend brought me back,” I replied.


    “No wonder, Mr. Walker called looking for him, saying his phone was off.”


    “My phone ran out of battery.” After saying this, I began to report to him about my meeting: “President


    Smith, I have given the documents to Mr. Walker, but he didn’t say anything about it after examining

    them. Also, he discussed some design matters with me. Afterwards, something happened on his side,


    so I came back first.”


    “I understood. Good job out there!” He smiled widely.


    “If there is nothing else, I will go back to my work.”


    “All good.” As I turned to leave, President Smith called me back. “Don’t forget to call Mr. Walker.”


    “Clear!” After that I went back to the office. However, I wasn’t in a hurry to call Eric, so I went and made


    myself a cup of coffee. Bringing coffee with me back to my office, I found Jessica sitting in my


    seat. “When did you arrive?”


    “Right now. Did you meet Eric today?”
