In the highest-level office of The Wilson Group subsidiary.
As soon as Evelyn returned, she saw Henry sitting expressionless in the chair.
David trembled on the side, and when he saw Evelyn, he immediately exited the office.
Evelyn walked over hesitantly.
Henry had no expression, his eyes vacant, as if he had been abandoned by the whole world.
She glimpsed the scattered red roses on the floor, and her heart softened.
“I didn’t know you would come today, otherwise…”
Henry suddenly looked up at her. Evelyn was ready to appease him, but suddenly couldn’t say anything.
“Sorry, baby, I haven’t had a chance to explain.” She sat beside Henry, holding his arm around her waist, “Actually, I secretly found another job, afraid you would worry, and afraid you wouldn’t agree, so I didn’t dare to tell you.”
As she spoke, Evelyn felt her hand on her waist tighten suddenly.
Henry lowered his head, only able to see the top of the Evelyn’s head and half of her side face.
Although he knew that it might be another lie, his heart couldn’t help but be moved.
Henry kept staring at her with a cold gaze.
Evelyn finally realized the seriousness of the situation and compromised, asking, “What can I do for you not to be angry??”
“Resign and stay at home.”
Evelyn was stunned for a moment, then nodded, “Okay.” She is now very good at coaxing this man, and she is not afraid to come out again when she goes back.
Henry’s eyes were full of suspicion, but Evelyn was willing to go along with it, whether it was a lie or not he didn’t care anymore.
…
When they returned to the villa, Alexander suddenly ran in excitedly, holding up his phone.
“Evelyn, your look is absolutely stunning.”
It was the Facebook interface, and there were Evelyn’s cosplay photos from today.
Henry’s gaze passed over the screen indifferently, and he mocked lightly, “Is this your new job?”
“No…”
Without waiting for her explanation, Henry turned around and walked into the study.
“Evelyn!” Alexander looked guilty. He originally wanted to flatter Evelyn, get some information about V God, but unexpectedly, he stepped on a landmine.
Evelyn’s expression turned unfriendly. He quickly surrendered, “I swear, I didn’t mean it.”
“Evelyn, don’t be angry, I can make it up to you. How about another jewelry store? No, two, three are fine, as long as you can calm down.”
“Do I look like I’m short of money?”?”
Alexander: “…”
“Then, Evelyn, you can make any request, and I’ll do anything.”
Evelyn’s expression seemed to soften a bit, pointing upstairs.
“Go up and placate Henry.”
Alexander looked shocked, “Can I have another choice?”
After a brief consideration, Evelyn said, “Then I’ll give you a sentence.”
Alexander:??
Evelyn’s expression turned angry, and she shouted, “Alexander, damn it, why don’t you go die!”
Alexander was scared and took a step back…
…
The next day, and the day after… the fourth day, Henry was absent every day. Evelyn finally realized that Henry was avoiding her.
Colin’s project, which he tossed to her, had entered a critical development phase, and she needed to rush over.
In this life, she only wanted to live a peaceful life with Henry. Therefore, she couldn’t allow their relationship to remain strained. Since Henry wouldn’t come back, she decided not to eat or drink, not even a drop of water.
When she was almost falling asleep from hunger at night, she heard a faint sound from the front door. She lay on the bed, lips involuntarily curving.
She thought she would have to starve for at least three days, but this guy couldn’t endure even one day.
Henry stood in the living room, nonchalantly glancing upstairs.
David said, “Boss, Eleanor said Madam hasn’t even had a drop of water.”
Henry glanced at him indifferently. “Then let her starve.”
After that, he expressionlessly went upstairs to the study.
David: “…” If boss really were so heartless, why did he drop a billion-dollar deal and rush back when Eleanor called?
The thoughts of people in love can indeed be challenging to understand…
Late at night. Evelyn’s bedroom door suddenly opened.
Henry stood at the door, holding a slightly wrinkled rose.
Smelling the alcohol floating in the room, his brows suddenly furrowed.
Hearing the movement, Evelyn abruptly sat up, shaking her head, “Who?”
Memories from her previous life and the current events intertwined, making it difficult for her to distinguish between reality and illusion. When she saw Henry, a sense of desolation surged in her heart.
Evelyn staggered towards Henry, her crystal-clear eyes filled with tears, causing Henry’s heart to ache.
With a bang, Evelyn closed the door as if afraid Henry would run away. She reached out, pressing him against the door, “You came to pick me up, didn’t you?”
