As soon as I left, I heard Sean Jessop say behind me, “You don’t have to go.”Then he said to the person in charge,”Go and change the design company.”
“Why?”
I didn’t expect Sean to suddenly say that.
I didn’t know what changed his mind, but I was sure it is all about me.
He hated me, so he was angry with the project.
Sean Jessop stood up and took out a cigarette case and a cigarette from the inside pocket of his suit.
He lit a cigarette.
He said slowly after smoking, “If a company doesn’t check whether the employee hides his criminal record before hiring an employee, I have enough reason to doubt the professionalism of the company.”
“I didn’t hide it!”
It was because of me.
“That’s even less professional. They hire a woman who intentionally hurts another woman, kills her baby, and has been in prison…”
Sean Jessop didn’t finish his words, and the people in the room were whispering.
As soon as the person in charge heard that I was such a person, he said,” Mr. Jessop, I’ll contact the person in charge of Universe Design Co. LTD.”
Universe Design Co. LTD was Daniell’s company.
“No!”I was standing in front of the man in charge.
Although I hated it and was unwilling, I still said, “I quit! I can resign!”
I knew what Sean Jessop wanted was that I can’t live a good life.
He wanted me to live in the street.
Now that I have a job, he must be disappointed.
I can’t get Daniell involved because of me.
Sean looked at me without saying anything.
I stood there. I picked up the phone and called Daniell and said,” Mr. Cook, I’m proposing to resign now.”
After that, I hung up before Daniell Cook asked.
Then I put my cell phone in my pocket and bowed to Sean Jessop.”Mr. Jessop, I’ve resigned from Universe Design Co. LTD, and now I have nothing to do with this company, this project. I beg you not to retaliate on unrelated people for hating me.”
After that, I turned around and left.
My phone kept vibrating in my pocket.
I knew it was Daniell, but I could not take it.
That night, instead of returning to the apartment Daniell Cook provided for me, I went to the Citizen Park.
I found a reclining chair by the lake and lay down.
In early spring, the weather was very cold. I curled up and the cold wind blew across my cheeks, which made me not only unable to fall asleep but also more awake.
My child was killed.
I was bullied in prison. I was confined to a dog cage to eat dog food. I was beaten before barking.
In winter, the bedding was watered by cold water and I was asked to sleep on it.
There was a lot more such like that.
Now that I think about it, I didn’t know how I managed to put up with it.
I felt warm, as if I had a coat on my body.
The next second, I was picked up.
I opened my eyes in confusion and saw someone holding me. The cold moonlight was behind him.
“Daniell.”
I recognize him.
The man holding me asked with concern, “Why are you sleeping here? I’ve been looking for you for a long time.”
His voice was so warm that I was much recovered from the cold.
“I…”
“All right. Sleep a little longer and I’ll take you home.”
I’ll take you home…
Where do I have a home?
I do not have a home.
But it made me feel so warm.
He put me in the car and I fell asleep.
