When Alice studied abroad, she should have thought about the possibility that love would change.
Everything changes. Things that had never happened before were happening every day. The only thing
that kept unchanged in the world is change itself.
Accidents may happen in each second. As the gear wheel of fate slides open, stories would definitely
happen in the past four years.
Time waits for no one. Only people would wait for the others. However, they should not be blamed
even if they were unwilling to wait for longer.
Jacob took a sip of red wine. It should be sweet, but he felt a little bitter.
On the one hand, the problems he had encountered hadn't been solved properly yet, and on the other
hand, Sara had never accepted him till now. Both problems made him feel bitter. Jacob was constantly
feeling a lack of sense of control.
Yes, he didn't know since when he felt that fate was unpredictable. In the past, he was always full of
passion and didn't really have any self-knowledge.
Now he knew that he was just an ordinary man. No matter how much wealth he had, he would never
control anything around him. For example, Sara, who was just beside him, was not in his control.
Even though he was extremely rich, he still felt lonely. Even if the one he loved was right in front of him,
he still felt that they were so far away from each other.
It was him who changed everything, planned his own life, and chose to live in sadness.
On the other hand, Sara was just a victim, who had never been entitled with the right to change her
fate.
She proposed a toast, tears streaming down her face.
Jacob looked sad, but he didn't have the heart to look at Sara. He was afraid that his fragility would be
discovered. He didn't want to let the woman see his sadness.
"After the meal, you just go back to the company. Thank you so much today, Sara." He tried to accost
her, but wend up saying something irrelevant
If the word "Love" was abused, it would be devalued.
So Jacob never said that. He just wanted to show his love by actions.
"Okay." Sara took a tissue and wiped her mouth, feeling reluctant to leave.
The problem hadn't been solved yet. She didn't want to leave, but she had to. She had no reason or
excuse to stay. She had nothing to do with Jacob now.
'Could I be friends with him? I don't lack friends.' Thinking of this, Sara stood up and said goodbye to
Jacob.
Perhaps everyone was like a bird that had been waiting all the time. She thought she could finally meet
a person and start a life with him. People always complain that they have nothing in their lives. The
truth was that they were unaware of their belongings until they have lost them. As a result, they were
unlikely to have any stories to tell in their lives.
Watching Sara's receding figure, Jacob didn't even had a chance to send her to the door. Sara turned
around and left decisively. Maybe she didn't want to cause him any more troubles.
Jacob thought of the name of Alice again. She'd better stay abroad and never come back.
Jacob had known everything, but he didn't want to tell. He couldn't believe that Alice, whom he had
loved and waited for years, was totally different from what he had imagined.
Perhaps this was the reason why he kept a distance from her. He loved the Alice in his imagination, so
sometimes he couldn't accept the fact that the Alice he imagined was far away from the one in the true
world.
It was like a man getting married. He thought he had married a beautiful woman, but in the end, after
getting married, the woman removed her makeup. The man was so regretful.
Even so, Jacob still felt sorry for Alice. Even if he sent her abroad, he would treat her well materially.
However, it was Jacob's bottom line to keep her away from this city.
In the past few days when Jacob lost his contact with Alice, Jacob seemed to have forgotten everything
about her. He had forgotten the existence of such a person and what had happened between them. But
what Sara said pulled him back to reality. Nothing could be so easily forgotten.
Squinting slightly, Jacob watched Sara going out and disappear from his sight. His heart was empty.
Just now, he had such a good opportunity to explain to her, but he just could not say anything.
The more he tried to make up with her, the farther the distance between them became.
After sitting there for a few minutes, Jacob stood up and left. No matter what happened, life would still
go on. Now he was not even qualified to be sad.
He couldn't fall, let alone retreat. Jacob left the restaurant quickly and went back to the company.
In the office, assistant Cindy was reporting the recent situation of the company and all kinds of matters.
"Wait a minute. How is the thing I told you to do?" Jacob raised his head and interrupted her.
"May I know what you are talking about?" Assistant Cindy tried to recall, but as she had dealt with
many issues, she wasn't aware of which one the CEO was mentioning.
"The issue about Alice." Jacob frowned, seems to be unhappy to mention this name. This name was
his youth.
"I've done as you said. Mr. Jacob, please rest assured." Assistant Cindy smiled. She had dealt with
Alice as Jacob ordered.
"What about her reaction?" Jacob asked expressionlessly. Now he had no feelings for Alice at all.
How could she do such a thing? She couldn't keep his heart no matter what she did.
"She was emotionally unstable, but she can only accept it anyway." Assistant Cindy replied calmly.
"Well, just let me know if anything happens." Jacob waved assistant Cindy out.
"Knock, knock, knock."
"Come in."
"The police called. It can be vaguely seen from the monitor that Chole's husband, Jim, was roasting
potatoes. But the picture is very blurred, and the grill can't be seen clearly, so the police didn't notice
this at the beginning. "
James's voice was a little excited, it meant that Sara's speculation was not unreasonable.
"Really? What did the police say? " Jacob was a little excited. Sara had helped him a lot on this matter.
"The police began to investigate the relationships of the people present, especially Jim's. But
considering that Chole was emotionally unstable, the police suggested that Sara pay a visit to her
again. And she could tell the whole situation to her. "
James squinted his eyes and considered the practicability of this suggestion.
"Showing down, you mean? Wait, will Sara be in danger if she meet her? " Jacob wondered whether
Chole would vent her anger on Sara and do something irreparable.
"Yes, I have the same thought, but I think it's better for Sara to go as they have talked before, and
maybe Chole will relax her vigilance." "What if Sara is in danger?" Jacob frowned. He couldn't risk Sara
for the task.
"The police will follow her. But they would just stand outside the room. If anything happens, they would
rush in and save Sara at any time." The police made the suggestion and it seemed to work.
"But I'm still worried." Jacob frowned. If something unexpected really happened, it would be too late.
"Don't worry. According to the information collected by the police, Chole is not an unpardonable person.
Sara should be fine." The conversation between the two was not about the content of the incident at all,
but focused on the safety of Sara.
"Okay, I see, uncle." Jacob attached a document. This matter had been delayed for too long. It was
time to end it.
James went to inform Sara about the latest progress. So on the next morning, Sara cooperated with
the police and visited Chole.
