“Miss Taylor, this is from a little girl.”
Another card.
Yolanda Taylor reached out and took it, “I got it, thanks.” She said, looking back at the still agitated Zara, “You go back and think it over, if there’s no problem, I’ll have an agreement drawn up, and within the next two years, you can continue to work here, and I’ll cover all the costs of the training.”
“I-I don’t have to think about it, Miss Taylor.”
Yolanda Taylor looked at Zara’s eyes and pursed her lower lips, “I know, go out and get busy.”
“Good!”
Probably because she didn’t expect that she could come across something like this, Zara’s feet were floating.
She was very excited, but before she left, she gently brought the door with her.
Yolanda Taylor glanced at that doorway, tore the red heart off the card, and opened it up.
On it was another message, only different from yesterday’s: the truth will surprise you, at 3:00 p. m. I’ll only be waiting for you for half an hour.
Yolanda Taylor’s face went cold, and she reached for the bag on the side, taking the card from there as well.
She rummaged around for a while, and originally wanted to take a lighter to burn the card, but she didn’t smoke, and there was no lighter inside the office, so in the end she had to tear it into pieces and throw it inside the restroom to flush it away.
After doing this, she took a deep breath and gathered her heart to modify the diagram on the computer.
A dream last night made her realize that the so-called truth was useless, and she still couldn’t do anything even if she knew it.
The person who sent the card must not want her to feel good, so why should she let the other party have their way.
Yet while everyone knows the truth, not many people can do exactly that.
Yolanda Taylor knew that the best thing she could do was to pretend that it hadn’t happened and that after this wedding, she would be free.
But it was only two o’clock in the afternoon, and already she couldn’t look at her own designs inside the computer at all.
She was looking at the computer, trying to get herself to focus, but there was no focus in that line of sight, and she had been staring at the computer for more than ten minutes now, and she still couldn’t look at anything.
At two-thirty, Zara brought her in a cup of pearl milk tea.
Yolanda Taylor took a sip and directly closed the computer, picked up a side bag and stood up, “I’m going out.”
Zara was about to ask her if she preferred this one or the original flavor or something else, but before the words could come out of her mouth, Yolanda Taylor had already disappeared outside the doorway.
She stood there, blinking for a moment, looking at the pearl milk tea on the table that she had only taken a sip of, thinking that Yolanda Taylor should not like to drink these things.
Yolanda Taylor went out and took a cab straight over to the address on the card, and even though she’d torn the card up, those two cards only added up to two sentences.
That address was four words she couldn’t forget if she tried.
The shade of the trees shone a little cooler on the curb when the car stopped.
She pushed the door open and got out of the car, her hair blowing a little.
Yolanda Taylor raised her hand and pressed her hair down, following her cell phone’s navigation inside, and soon she saw the coffee shop inside that alley.
At this time, there were very few people in the coffee shop, when she pushed the door to go in, there was a song playing inside, called “Flavor”: “I can have one cup after another, just for you to get drunk, in your misty eyes, as if there is my beauty, I can have one cup after another, as long as you stay by my side, as a momentary atmosphere of beauty, but also enough for me to reminisce over and over again, you and I have such a relationship, but also a tacit understanding, you don’t want to talk about it, so you don’t want to talk to me, so you don’t want to talk about it. I don’t want to talk about what you don’t want to talk about, I won’t mention it, I don’t want to put pressure on you As long as you are happy, occasionally a little emotion, I will smooth it out myself …”
She footsteps a beat, do not know why, just think of those three years.
“Miss, may I help you?”
Hearing the waitress’s voice, Yolanda Taylor came back to her senses, she glanced at her and shook her head, “No, I have an appointment.”
With that, she looked inside, trying to find her familiar figure, but there were only two tables inside that were occupied, one of which had three people sitting at it, and the other was a woman, but she didn’t recognize her.
“Miss Taylor.”
That’s when the woman suddenly called out, Yolanda Taylor frowned a little and lifted her leg to walk over to her, “I don’t seem to recognize you.”
“That’s okay, I know you.”
Yolanda Taylor looked at her for two seconds before taking a seat across from her.
The other woman held the menu together in front of her eyes, “Look at something to drink or eat.”
“No, I came over today to see who it was that asked me out.”
The woman’s face didn’t half change when she heard her say that, “I’m entrusted with a favor, Miss Taylor doesn’t need to inquire.”
Hearing her words, Yolanda Taylor’s face also lightened up a lot, “In that case, let’s speak directly.”
“A good sentence to say directly.”
The woman took a sip of her juice and looked at Yolanda Taylor and smiled, “Miss Taylor really cares about this matter.”
Yolanda Taylor didn’t say anything and just looked at her.
The woman didn’t say anything either, and the two were silent for a while, before Yolanda Taylor opened her mouth, “If you don’t say anything, I’m leaving.”
She said, and the man was already standing up.
The woman raised her hand and pulled her a little, “Miss Taylor, take it easy, I’m just trying to figure out how to talk to you.”
“Since you were able to ask me to come here, I’m sure you’ve already figured out how to say it, so what’s the point of being sympathetic at this time?”
“You’re right, in that case, I don’t have to worry Miss Taylor that you won’t be able to accept the truth for a while.”
She said and paused, “I think Miss Taylor you probably know that your mother’s accident back then was connected to Lamar Fox, right?”
“I guessed.”
It’s one thing to guess, but it’s another thing to actually hear someone say that
“It’s true that Lamar Fox did this, but there’s a bit of it that I don’t think you should be deceived about! Aren’t you curious as to how Young Master Fox, with his tactics, could have let your mother get away?” “Why?”
Yolanda Taylor couldn’t help but ask, even though she knew it was a trap for her opponent.
She clenched her hands so tightly that her offstage hands almost pinched her palms for blood, but she couldn’t feel the slightest bit of pain.
The woman put a tape recorder in front of her eyes, “Lamar Fox has already gotten through to Gwen Fox, back then when your mother could easily run out, it was Young Master Fox who let someone release the water, I know you won’t believe me, and I’m done with my words. Miss Taylor, take care.”
With that, the woman let go of the recorder, got up and left.
Yolanda Taylor looked at the recorder in front of her, she knew that in fact, it would be better if she didn’t go to pick it up, she could just pretend that none of this had anything to do with Gwen Fox.
But she knew there was no way she could fool herself.
She reached out and took the recorder into her hand and pressed play.
“What’s the point of you bringing Petra back? You let the man go and I’ll take care of it for you.” “Grandpa!”
“Do as you’re told!” There were only three sentences in there, but they were so overwhelming that Yolanda Taylor could barely breathe.
Her hand trembled, and the recorder fell to the ground, hitting her feet, Yolanda Taylor looked down at the recorder that rolled to the side, only to feel that her entire being was cold.
It was as if her heart had been hammered hard, and the pain spread from there, drilling through her limbs.
