Chapter 16


    Ines was shocked and looked at Aaron in confusion. Aaron noticed his outburst and tried to


    suppress his anger. "Sorry, I got carried away."


    Ines shook her head. "I know you mean well, but I trust my judgment. He''s someone I can trust."


    Aaron felt like his heart was being squeezed by a giant hand, making breathing hard.


    Someone once said the same thing to him, but how did it end? A mocking smile unconsciously


    appeared on his lips.


    Ines had never seen Aaron like this and felt hopelessness. She thought he was reminded of his


    past. "The past is in the past. It''s time to move on."


    Both of them had their fair share of misfortunes. She knew he once had someone he deeply loved,


    and he knew she had been betrayed.


    "I''m fine. When are you leaving?"

    "The day after tomorrow."


    Aaron''s grip on the pen suddenly tightened, but eventually, he signed his name on that ring


    resignation letter.


    Ines took the resignation letter from Aaron. "Thank you."


    Aaron waved his hand. "No problem. I''ll exin everything to the boss. You go ahead and hand


    over your current work."


    As Ines was about to leave, she heard Aaron''s voice. "Ines, have you ever thought about the people


    around you?"


    Ines stopped, turned her head, and looked at Aaron. The morning light made his handsome face


    flicker. He looked lonely.


    Seeing the surprise on Ines'' face, Aaron said, "Forget I said anything."


    It took Ines all morning to finish handing over her work. When it was time to leave, her coworkers


    gathered around her. They were all surprised by her sudden departure.


    "Martha told us you''re getting married."


    "Why so sudden?"


    "You’re really getting married? So soon?"


    "I''ve been on so many blind dates without sess, and you nailed it on your first try. So unfair."


    "Finally, one less singledy in the firm. You girls better hurry up." Marthaughed and pointed at a


    few beauties nearby, who all helplessly looked at Martha.


    "I wish. But all the ones I''ve met are weirdos, not even a single normal one."


    ...


    With all the chatter, Ines didn''t know who to answer first. She shook her head and smiled. It''s said


    that gossip is always present where there are women – it seems to be their nature, even for these


    sharp and intelligent career-focused women.


    A one-time sess – it really was like that. Some people go on dozens of blind dates without


    sess, but her first blind date, began with a "let''s give it a try" attitude, and ended up in marriage


    without even a transition period.
