I didn’t want to talk to Selena at all.
I could feel cold eyes behind me.
I stood still and my back was a little cold.
Murray didn’t care. He took the sketch book in front of him and went out.
When I was still standing, I heard the sound of leather shoes rubbing the ground behind me.
Then I saw Sean come up to Murray and politely say,” Mr. Moore, we organized this competition. It’s our responsibility to send everyone back safely, so she can’t go with you.”
“Why?”Murray looked up at Sean.”Do you mean she’s not safe if she’s with me?”
“Yes.”
Sean is outspoken.
Murray looked at Sean and laughed, “I’m an old man in my fifties. Do you think I will do something bad to her?”
“I don’t mean that, but this competition is our company…”
“Yesterday when you saw me holding her, there was a fire in your eyes.”Murray interrupted Sean and squinted and said, “can’t you admit you like her and don’t want her to leave with me?”
I was stunned by Murray’s words.
Sean looked at him and was silent for a moment. He said, “it’s a rule. She can’t leave with you.”
He didn’t admit that he liked me.
Maybe he didn’t like me.
“OK.”Murray nodded.”Now that you say it’s a rule, I won’t take her away.”
Maybe I was pissed off.
I went to Murray and said,” Mr. Moore when I get back to York, I will contact you.”
“OK.”
Murray nodded.
Sean looked at me angrily!
I didn’t care.
I went back to my room.
It was over 2 p. m. I thought of Murray saying he would leave at 3 p. m. I stood at the parking lot at the gate of the resort at three o’clock.
Sure enough, I saw Ford and Murray.
There was a waiter to help them with their luggage.
I ran quickly and said,” Mr. Moore, thank you for your advice yesterday.”
“It’s okay. I was just on a whim.”Murray looked at me.”Why didn’t you bring anything?”
“What?”
“Luggage! I thought you wanted to leave with me.”
I said quickly, “I’d better leave tomorrow with my colleagues. After all, we are here together.”
“OK.”Murray didn’t force me and just said, “I don’t think the president of the Giant group understands what he thinks. You may not work there for long. If you have any difficulty in the future, you can come to me at any time.”
When he finished, Ford was interested.”Murray, I haven’t seen you care about someone in recent years.”
“I’m old. I want to pass on my skills.”
Murray said casually.
I was a little confused.
Does Murray mean he wanted to accept me as an apprentice?
He may not mean that.
Even if I was bold, I dared not to think so.
But he seemed to mean that.
When I hesitated to ask him, I heard footsteps behind me. Then I heard someone behind me shouting,” Mr. Moore.”
It was Eric.
I turned around and Eric came running from a distance.
Someone behind him was going in our direction.
Sean.
I could see the displeasure on his face at such a distance.
He was even a little sullen.
Murray laughed.”He’s coming.”
Eric came up and looked at me. He said awkwardly, “Miss Carter, why are you here?”
“I’m here to see Mr. Moore off.”
I said politely to Eric.
Sean had come to me. His black eyes looked at me coldly and asked the same question as Eric, “Why are you here?”
I repeated my answer.
“Sending judges is the work of the organizers. You shouldn’t do that.”Sean seemed to be quite dissatisfied with my behavior.
Before I contradicted him, Murray laughed and shook his head.”I didn’t expect anyone to be jealous of an old man.”
With that, the atmosphere immediately became awkward.
We all knew what he meant.
I knew Sean was possessive and jealous.
Ford laughed awkwardly.”Murray, let’s go, or we’ll miss the plane.”
“OK.”
Murray took the sunglasses off his collar and put them on.
He turned to Sean and pointed to him and said, “young man, cherish the girl in front of you.”
“Mr. Moore, it’s time for you to go.”
Sean stood there and was unmoved.
He didn’t seem to care at all.
Murray shook his head helplessly.”I suffered losses when I was young, so I kindly advised you. Since you don’t care, you can think I’m meddling.”
With that, he got on the car and closed the door.
After Ford got on, the car started and left.
I turned around and wanted to go back to my room. Sean came up to me and said, “if I don’t come, are you going to leave with him?”
“President Jessop, you think too much.”I shrugged.”I just came here to see Mr. Moore off. After all, I work for the Giant group. Although I’m only third, I can get 100000 dollars. Before I get the money, I dare not disobey you.”
“Do you care about 100000 dollars?”
Sean’s voice was a little cold but sullen.
I smiled helplessly, “yes. I’m different from President Jessop. You can make a lot of money in a short time. I’m not the same as Molly. I don’t cheekily do nothing but ask men for money.”
Sean was silent.
After a long time he said, “if you are short of money, let me know. I am willing to give you money.”
“President Jessop, I have hands and feet. I can make my own money.”I thought about it and said, “I hope President Jessop understands that the money I make is clean. Please don’t speculate. Please let me go.”
Sean was silent when I finished.
This time I really decided to leave.
I had loved Sean for more than a decade.
So what?
He was not good to me. I couldn’t keep pestering him.
The next morning, I left by plane with my colleagues. Although Molly invited me to fly with them, I turned her down.
I used to think it was great to fly in a private plane.
But I also knew that this world did not belong to me.
