Impulse took over my brain. I tiptoed and put my arms around his neck and responded.
Sean hugged me. His kiss became more domineering. He slowly plundered the air in my mouth. I tried to get my own oxygen back.
This kiss let the memories of five years ago emerge in my mind.
I found our sweetness very little.
We were more entangled and painful.
The kiss lasted for a few minutes.
I finally woke up when his hand wanted to move on.
“No.” I pushed Sean away and dodged. I put my hand over my face. “I’m sorry. I’m going to marry Ming.”
“I don’t allow it.”
Sean leaned directly against the wall with both hands and confined me in a small space.
He looked down at me. His black eyes were full of complex emotions, “if I say that my company has become this is probably because of him, will you marry him?”
“It’s impossible. How could it be him?”
I said subconsciously.
But there was a faint suspicion in my heart.
Ming always looked gentle and kind in front of me. But last time I saw that vice president in Sacred Heart Hospital was so afraid of him, I knew that Ming must have other side I didn’t know.
I couldn’t guess what his other side looked like.
But I thought he was totally different.
“No?” Sean shook his head helplessly. “Would you like to be with me?”
“President Jessop, you have a wife. Don’t make fun of me.”
The sun was rising. I was completely awake.
I was really confused last night.
We couldn’t be together. Why did I bother myself?
I went to the elevator. Sean came and grabbed me. “I’m going to divorce.”
“No.” I shook off his hand. “President Jessop, when I lived with you in The Best Home five years ago, I thought you would marry me, but later your change gave me a big slap. I won’t let you tease me as you did five years ago!”
“You don’t deny that you’re June?”
Sean looked at me thoughtfully.
“You know it. I can’t explain.”
I couldn’t go on denying it.
Sean smiled and said nothing.
When I got into the elevator, I said to Sean, “President Jessop, thank you for saving me that day.”
Then I took the elevator to the first floor.
It was eight o’clock now. There were already employees here. I went out against them.
I took a taxi back to York No.1.
Because it was work time, the road was extremely blocked.
I sat in the car and watched the lines of cars outside. I immediately thought I was stupid. How could I get Sean in?
I let him sleep in my bed all night and followed him to the Giant group.
How could I explain when I saw Ming later?
My heart was very uneasy, as if I was cheating.
I finally got home near nine o’clock. Ming didn’t call me at all.
I opened the door and went in and changed my shoes.
“Happy broken pupa, gorgeous new impulse...”
My cell phone rang.
I looked down.
It was Ming.
Was it a coincidence?
There was a shallow unease in my heart. I hesitated and answered the phone.
“Hello, did you sleep well last night?” His soft and lazy voice came over the phone.
My heart pounded. “Yes, did you just get up?”
I bowed my head and took a sip of porridge.
I didn’t want to talk about Marlin and Inez. When I was locked up in the conference room, I was desperate.
At that time, I thought that if I could live, I would let them stay in prison forever!
They deserved it!
“Are you sure?”
“Yes.” I looked at Ming and said, “how can anyone defend Marlin and Inez? They can’t win. What’s more, they have no money.”
“There’s someone behind them.” Ming said lightly.
It seemed that he knew that for a long time.
“Someone?” I was a little surprised.
Ming nodded. “Arthur told me there was someone behind them, so they knew what you were doing when you came back. But I don’t know who this person is.”
“It has nothing to do with me.”
Anyway, they may be in prison for the rest of their lives.
“Well, I’ll tell Arthur you’re not going.” Ming picked up his cell phone to make a call.
Looking at him, I suddenly hesitated.
I reached for his hand and said, “I’m going to see them for the last time.”
After all, they gave birth to me.
Ming looked at me and nodded.
-
After breakfast, Ming and I went to the detention center.
After registering, I asked Ming to wait for me outside. I went in alone.
When I went in, there was only Inez sitting on the other side of the glass. Now she had lost a lot of weight, and her prison uniform looked very broad.
As soon as Inez saw me, she cried. She picked up the phone and said, “June, we did something wrong. Please don’t sue us.”
