Henry seemed to be absent-minded when recording programs.
For the quality of their program, the program team did not broadcast live and could only record and edit it later.
However, no matter how they edited it, Henry still looked going a little off. His dashingness, vigor, and youthful spirit that he had when he first recorded the program were gone, along with his signature smile.
"Where have you been?"
"You knew that the representatives of the investors would come today. You can't even stir yourself to deal with them? Henry, this is your job. You don't even focus on the recording. What the heck are you doing?"
Shirley, his agent, was furious. She barred him in his shabby rented house. After ten o'clock in the night, when she saw him coming back, she immediately ran over to scold him angrily.
Henry quietly listened to her denouncement, demoralized and gloomy.
However, no matter how Shirley reprimanded him, he remained unmoved.
If it weren't for his commercial value, she really wanted to give him up.
"Henry, you are an adult. You should know very well how cruel the world is. They can support you now, and they can abandon you later, do you understand? They have the ability to replace you with other newcomers at any time!"
Right now, her patience of persuading him had run out and she was frank and above-board to him.
"If you want to give up on me, or replace me with another new guy... just do whatever you want." He spoke in a hushed voice as if he was dead inside and didn't care about anything.
May didn't want him anyway.
She had thrown herself into another man's arms.
"Have you been following May again lately?" Shirley flared at him.
"Is it worth it to be so decadent for her? Your job is almost screwed! What's so good about that woman? She's ordinary. You can find lots of women better than her..."
"She's perfect in every aspect!" Henry suddenly became agitated.
Grounding her teeth angrily, Shirley found him lose all his reason.
Back a few years, she had had a crush on him, for she felt that he was humorous, kind, energetic. He checked every box of her request for an ideal boyfriend.
Never had she expected that for a grown man like Henry, he acted in a very juvenile manner, unreasonable.
"Henry, the investor representatives have lost their patience with you. They've decided to use a new guy on the show from tomorrow onwards. You should reflect on yourself."
Looking at him coldly, Shirley said in an official tone. After that, she no longer stayed in this dilapidated apartment.
It was a small and decrepit place, but he still lived here.
Why? Waiting for that ugly woman May to come back to him? Stupid!
As Henry heard his agent fire him in such a cold tone, he seemed nonchalant.
Even his career, which he had worked hard for so many years, seemed to be really ruined.
But so what? He didn't care at all. For the past few days, he had been wondering why he knuckled down to work for.
Grim-faced, sitting in the dim cinema, instead of watching the movie, he stared at her silhouette with deep feelings.
So soon she found a new job and started a new life.
Did she forget him so soon as well?
When they came out of the cinema, the other colleagues suggested going to the KTV later, venting their vexations by singing.
Being in a bit of a dilemma, May partial to quiet occasions didn't enjoy being in a noisy place. Just then, Tony helped her out. "Has your leader asked you to hand in the report tomorrow? Be sure to hand it in on time. Otherwise, you would suffer."
She then nodded knowingly. "I'm sorry. I have to finish my work first. You guys have a good time." She knew that he was making up an excuse for her.
A group of excited colleagues was finally willing to let her leave first for the sake of the work.
Meanwhile, she smiled at him with gratitude. After she called a taxi, she waved goodbye to him. "Thank you for helping me out. I'll treat you to dinner next time." She said sincerely.
Upon hearing that, he beamed. "Then I'll wait for your invitation."
He was humorous. Being around by his side made her feel comfortable.
And indeed, it could see that he would be a good husband.
Tony stood there, watching her leave with glee.
Yet at this time, Henry stood in the dark corner of the cinema, looking at the situation with a blank mind. Even after she left, he didn't snap out of the moment.
