I turned off my phone and pretended I had not seen it.
I went downstairs to Daisy’s house, and I was afraid she would ask me, so I bought some fruits and
prepared to go upstairs.
As soon as I reached the stairwell, I saw a man standing at the elevator door playing a mobile game.
I made sure it was Jack.
He saw me. His eyes were all bright, “Oh, Mrs. Jessop, have you gone out? Great, can you take me
in?”
“Don’t call me Mrs. Jessop. I have nothing to do with him. If you are looking for Mrs. Jessop, you need
to visit Cindy.” I said this and continued, “I can’t take you in. This is not my house.”
“Mrs. Jessop. Sean and Cindy were only friends who grew up together." Although Jack was older than
me, he respected me when he talked to me. "Really. Sean only has you in mind. Last time he told me
personally.”
I was going to press the elevator.
After hearing Jack's words, I retracted my hand and looked at him.
He saw me stop and continued, “Really, I went to drink with Sean that time. He drank too much and
told me. For the rest of his life, if he still get married, you must be the one he marries.”
I looked at Jack, and in my heart, it was complicated.
But I soon realized that this was a lie he used to trick me into taking him to Daisy. I barely smiled and
said, “Jack, you have to make a draft next time you lie. Mr. Jessop refused me to marry a few days
ago.”
“Ah?” Jack looked surprised.
At this time, the elevator came to the first floor because of someone coming down, and the door
opened.
A woman came out.
I stepped into the elevator and Jack wanted to come up and I stopped him outside the door. “Jack, you
should know Daisy. If you do this, it will only make Daisy even more angry.”
Jack listened to me and stopped the steps he had intended to take.
He stood at the door and watched the elevator door close without further action.
When I got home, Daisy was doing yoga in the living room, and I told her about seeing Jack, and the
woman just rolled her big eyes. “He just called me. I didn't answer.”
During the day, Daisy was going to receive training.
I was at home and thought of Jack’s words, I couldn’t calm down at all, and turned out Ward’s phone
number. I hesitated ...
Even if it was to give up!
I relented, put on my makeup very carefully, covered the scars on my nose, and still put on a mask and
went to that movie theater.
In order to pretend to be a chance encounter, I bought a ticket of cartoon on the Internet in another hall.
When I entered the movie theater, I was not in a hurry to check the tickets. Because it is daylight, there
are not many people in the cinema.
I waited for a while. Their movie was about to start, and I haven’t seen Sean and Cindy.
Was I cheated?
When I suspected something, I heard someone say, “Look, that man is so handsome.”
I looked in the direction of the fingers beside me.
I saw Sean.
He was wearing casual clothes today. Cindy beside him was wearing a blue sweater with a white coat
hanging on Sean’s arm.
They came side by side.
It looked so harsh to me.
“Miss Carter?”
When I looked at them, Cindy found me.
She offered to say hello to me.
Sean also looked at me and he seemed to be a little angry.
For a moment, I was a little overwhelmed.
When they came up to me, Cindy naturally asked me, “Miss Carter, do you also watch movies?”
“Well...” I held up my ticket awkwardly and smiled reluctantly. “I’m bored and I’m not at work, so I watch
a movie...”
“Oh.” Cindy’s gaze stayed on my movie ticket, “Miss Carter. This is a cartoon. I didn’t expect Miss
Carter to be such a childlike person.”
“In our business, we need to know everything.”
I explained.
Cindy heard it and said with a smile, “Has Miss Carter seen this movie? We are a private party. If you
don’t want to watch this, you can also watch this movie with us.”
“I just did this for you.”
Before I spoke, Sean on the side spoke first.
A sentence was like a sharp knife poking hard on my heart. It hurt so much that it became difficult to
breathe.
I smiled wryly. “Yes, Mr. Jessop booked this for you. I will not bother you.”
“No, we...”
“It is okay. My movie is about to start. I go first.”
I politely interrupted Cindy’s words and went straight to the cinema.
The entertainment effect of the cartoon on the screen didn’t make me laugh at all. I only had the words
of Sean in my heart.
It was like a thorn in my heart and hurt me again and again.
Until the movie was over.
I came out alone and I scared to meet them again, so I took a cab and left.
Sitting in the car, I asked myself over and over again.
June Carter, Have You Woke Up?
It was time to wake up.
Princes were all matching princesses, even Cinderella was the duke’s daughter.
Was there any real Cinderella in the world?
If I was going to draw a line with Sean and Cindy, I was going to have to tell them about the house.
The next day, I found a time, called Cindy and asked her to meet me.
As far as I know, although Cindy had several clothing brands and supermarket chains, they were also
managed by someone else. She didn’t need to worry, so she had a lot of time.
As soon as I said it, she agreed.
We were meeting at a coffee shop near the York No.1.
When I saw her, I didn’t want to go around and talk about it directly.
After she heard me say I was going to buy back my grandma’s house, Cindy was silent for a while
before saying, “Actually, my friend has lived in the last two days. If you told me earlier, I ...”
“I am sorry. I know I am being unreasonable, but my grandmother left me this house, and I really want
to take it back.”
I looked at Cindy, and her expression was very embarrassed.
But after listening to me, she hesitated and said, “Well, I’ll call him and ask.”
Cindy said and took out her phone from her bag to make a call.
I heard her say “thank you” after she told that man the situation about me.
I knew it should be fine.
After all, Cindy was a reasonable person to me, and her friends were not bad.
Cindy hung up the phone and said, “He agreed. But he needs to find a house again recently, which
may take a month.”
“thank you very much!” Didn’t mention that I had to wait for a month, and there were no problems for
two months. After that, I asked Cindy again, “So, the price...”
“Just the original price.”
I was almost on my knees when I heard Cindy say that.
To tell you the truth, if she raised the price more, I may not be able to pay that much money.
After talking about the house, Cindy looked at me and said, “Miss Carter, don’t you hate me?”
