But as I turned around, she suddenly called out to me, “I thought you were going to talk to me!”
I hesitated for a moment, but still looked back at her and saw her pair of black eyes and froze for a moment before I spoke, “You’re not fit for business.”
She nodded her head if she did, “I know!”
I pursed my lips, my eyes fell on the illustration in front of her, it looks like that illustration, not to hold a bidding meeting so put up, but someone got it up before, but probably someone felt aesthetically pleasing, so left, looking a little bleak color on it.
“You like black things a lot?” I opened my mouth, and to be honest, I’m a little reluctant to get into these dark things.
She nodded, not at all evasive, and after looking at the painting for a while, she looked back at me and raised her eyebrows, “You’re a staff member of the George Group?”
I nodded, “Yeah!”
She oh so said, “That man beside you is your husband, and he treats you quite well.”
I pursed my lips and was not overly surprised by her painting.
I paused for a moment and bowed my head slightly, “It’s pretty good that he can heal you.”
After a moment of silence, I looked at her and said, “In fact, you yourself know that business is not for you, if so why don’t you go do your own thing? The only thing this world allows to heal us is to make ourselves happy.”
She smiled and didn’t say anything anymore.
Dennis and Sheila finished talking and came out, saw me talking to Barbara, handsome face frowned slightly, seemed a little strange, see Dennis, Barbara did not say anything and went away.
I stood still as Dennis approached me and looked at me and said, “Recognize?”
I shook my head and changed the subject, “Are you done talking about things?”
He nodded and looked at me and said, “There’s a celebration dinner tonight, you and I will go, huh?”
Because of Cherry’s matter, he really let me follow him twenty-four hours a day. I nodded my head and gazed in the direction Barbara had left, with an indescribable feeling in my heart.
People who have had a rib nose job know when they see the scar under someone’s nose that the other person has had a nose job, just like Barbara knew subconsciously when she saw me that each other were dark and depressed inside.
Depression doesn’t get better, it just gets slowly pressed into the years. We look for warmth and sunshine in the chicken and egg days, and then little by little we fill the big hole of depression to make ourselves look like normal people. Barbara was right, I was lucky because I met Dennis, who could heal and warm me.
But not everyone who is lucky is. I don’t know what Barbara has been through, but the darkness and fear in her eyes tell me she is still struggling in the dark.
Hotel.
Celebration banquet, for this kind of banquet almost often participate in, are together to eat a meal, to put it bluntly is called on the two companies in charge of sitting together to talk, mutual exchange familiar with it.
Director Warner greeted the party, I was reluctant to come, but to my surprise, I would meet Danny and Dan at the party.
Long time no see, Danny is still the same thieving eyes, perhaps the UV rays in the country is not so strong, he is a bit whiter, but there is no gap with his time in Myanmar.
He was dressed in a formal dress, with black rimmed glasses, thin and small, standing next to Director Warner nodding and toasting, Dan is still dark, bulky and huge body standing in an inconspicuous position, carrying a plate of food to eat, he is still as simple as ever, always so much love for food.
Dennis noticed my gaze and frowned slightly, “Recognize?”
I nodded and was just about to walk in Dan’s direction when I was blocked by Director Warner, who had come up to browbeat Dennis, and naturally Danny, who was beside him, saw me.
Seeing me, Danny slightly narrowed his eyes, then detained a smile towards me to raise a glass of wine, “Miss Kennedy, fate, ah, I did not think we would meet here, really is fate ah!”
Director Warner was about to make a toast with Dennis, but when he heard Danny’s words, he said with a smile, “You know each other?”
“Of course, Miss Kennedy and I, how can we be considered a friend of life and death, originally thought that this life is not to see, I did not expect to see here, really is fate ah!” The words “life-and-death friend” came out of Danny’s mouth, how to hear with a taste of sarcasm.
I pursed my lips, really can not do to a demon smile, slightly moved behind Dennis, did not speak.
Dennis looked at me, then his eyes fell on Danny and said indifferently, “You are?”
Danny didn’t seem to care about my actions and said, “Mr. George, I’m Danny, I used to know Miss Kennedy in Burma, but it’s sad to see her like this, I guess she forgot about me!”
Dennis faintly curled his eyebrows and simply said a few subtle words before dismissing Director Warner and Danny. He looked at me, “Met in Burma?”
I nodded, “He’s one of Bob’s men.” As I spoke I looked up to see Dan, but he was gone, and after looking around, I still didn’t see any of his people.
Dennis seemed to have questions to ask me, I opened my mouth and said, “Talk to you later, I’ll go out first!” Then without waiting for him to speak, he walked towards where Dan was standing just now, and went out down the corridor, seeing no one.
I turned around and still couldn’t find it, but I met Cherry at the bathroom door, and seeing me, she didn’t seem surprised at all, all with a sneer, “Meeting again, what a coincidence!”
I didn’t want to talk to her and said indifferently, “I don’t want to coincide at all.”
Looking around, I didn’t see Dan and I was ready to leave when Cherry stopped me like a dog in a poke and said, “What? It looks like you’re looking for someone?”
I was in no mood to pay attention to her and spoke, “Get out of the way!”
She was too fat to stop me, blocking most of my view, and said with some recklessness, “Why are you so mean? We are at least friends with each other in life and death, how can we be considered friends, and this is how you treat Jannings and the girls?”
I looked over at her and sneered, “A friend? Who’s friend would put her in the morgue and put her in the freezer? Cherry, you’re insulting the word “friend”, seriously, you’re no match for the Jannings, you’re disgusting!
She suddenly laughed out loud, “I’m disgusting? Clara, have you forgotten who I was humiliated for in Myanmar, do you really think that everything can be erased after we leave somewhere? Have you ever experienced what it’s like to be trampled by man after man in full view of everyone? No, you didn’t. You watched me being abused by one man after another, and the source of it all was because of you, and you ended up watching me being hurt indifferently, never even thinking that you were wrong, but I remember, I will always remember in my life. return to me! “
