Dempsey said nothing.
For him, food is just something to replenish energy, and he doesn’t care whether it tastes good or not.
“I’ve finished washing.”
Myrna took a look and saw the washed red peppers and bok choy neatly arranged together, which looked like the work of someone with obsessive-compulsive disorder.
“What are you laughing at?” Dempsey was puzzled.
Myrna cleared her throat and said, “Nothing, you can go out first.”
“Okay.” Dempsey wiped the water stains and nodded slightly.
Myrna cooked a large table of dishes with light flavors, mostly what Sarah liked and could eat.
“It’s amazing that you still remember…” the old lady sighed.
After eating, Myrna took the initiative to clean up the dishes.
Dempsey volunteered to help in the kitchen.
The man stood under the warm yellow light, his back elongated.
From Myrna ‘s perspective, the side profile with delicate lines looks like a human head sculpture from ancient Greece, with sharp edges and corners.
Sarah stood by the door frame: ” Myrna , how did you and Dempsey know each other?”
Dempsey was her most proud disciple, and Myrna was her favorite student. She had wanted to introduce the two to each other a long time ago.
Unexpectedly, by some strange coincidence, they got to know each other first.
At this moment, a voice came from outside the door…
” Professor Thoreau , you have a visitor!”
Sarah turned and went out to the living room, only to see the girl standing up from the sofa with a smile –
“Hello, professor. My name is Vita . I visited you in the hospital earlier and asked you about this year’s graduate student recruitment.”
Sarah nodded: “I remember. I remember it. Please sit down.”
Vita smiled even brighter: “I heard that you have been recuperating at home during this period, so I brought you some supplements…”
Sarah calmly glanced at the gift boxes on the table . They were all high-quality and expensive items …
The smile faded a little.
Vita : “Last time I told you about this year’s graduate student quota…”
Sarah interrupted: “Thank you, I appreciate your kindness, you should take these things back. As for graduate students, I recruit them every year, and the competition is fierce. Whether you can pass the exam depends entirely on your real ability.”
Vita was stunned.
The professor clearly didn’t say that last time in the ward…
She said “there’s a chance”, “you can try”, “come on”, why today…
“Professor, I…”
“I’m sorry, I have guests here, so I won’t keep you any longer. I’ll ask my assistant to help you move your things to the car.”
It was such an obvious farewell, how could Vita not hear it?
She didn’t know what the problem was, and when she went out, she was distracted and accidentally bumped into someone.
” Myrna ?” she exclaimed. “Why are you here?”
Myrna in front of me was wearing a simple white T-shirt, a rustic apron with large Northeastern flowers, and holding a black garbage bag in her hand.
“What a coincidence.” Myrna was also a little surprised, but she quickly put on a smile and greeted her.
She didn’t hate Vita . Although she was spoiled and arrogant like a rich girl, she was not spoiled or annoying. She still had the proper manners.
But that was the extent of their relationship; it was impossible for them to be as close as she and Joanna .
“You…” Vita looked her up and down, “Why are you working as a part-time worker?”
Myrna : “…”
“Didn’t my brother give you money?”
“…”
“Oh my God! How tasteless! I can’t take it anymore. I really can’t stand him–” As she said this, she walked out madly in her high heels.
While walking, he also held the phone.
It?? s not that she?? s speaking up for Myrna , she deserves to be a bootlicker. The main thing is that her brother?? s behavior is too… degrading!
It?? s like not tipping at a western restaurant!
Vita felt extremely embarrassed.
“Hey – brother! I really can’t help but say you…”
The call was connected and Vita was just about to output.
“I’m busy, I don’t have time to play with you.”
“No… who is causing the trouble? You are the one who is overdoing it, right? How did you learn to be so stingy? Don’t you know that stingy men are as disgusting as rats?”
“If you want to go crazy, find someone else.” What he said makes sense.
Vita didn’t care: ” Myrna at least washes your clothes and cooks for you, plays with you and sleeps with you, how can you be so stingy? You force her to work as a part-time worker to earn money, and if this gets out, will you still have any face left?”
There was silence for a moment. “Who are you talking about?”
” Myrna .”
“What does part-time worker mean?”
Vita said everything she had just seen: “… You really went too far this time. A dog licker is still a dog, don’t abuse small animals…”
Ansel didn’t hear anything Vita said next .
What echoed in his ears was—
Myrna , part-time worker, making money…
It seems that even though she cashed the check for 50 million, she didn’t dare to actually use it.
He loosened his tie around his chest, his eyes were gloomy, and his expression was neither good-looking nor ugly, but rather mysterious.
Oh, she left so decisively at first, and I thought she was really capable, but in the end…
Without him, it would be difficult to survive.
” Ansel , what are you doing? It’s your turn.”
Clyde pointed at the dice cup in his hand and reminded him.
“No more playing.”
Ansel picked up his suit jacket, took his car keys and prepared to leave.
“Didn’t you say we were going to get together?”
Clyde looked confused.
Ansel : “No more gathering. Something’s up.”
Should I ask him to pick it up this time?
Ansel sat in the car and waited and waited, but apart from two work calls and a bunch of work messages, he didn’t receive the call he wanted.
He simply didn’t wait and drove directly to Joanna ‘s apartment.
Myrna had no relatives or friends in the city , and every time she had a fight with him, she would run to Joanna’s place, and he often went to pick her up.
So, there is no need for navigation to get there.
” Ansel ?”
Just after getting off the bus, someone called him. Ansel turned around and saw Joanna holding the arm of a young boy, probably going home.
“What are you doing here?” Joanna looked at him with a wary look.
” Where’s Myrna ?”
“What are you going to do?”
“I asked you where is Myrna ?” His tone was tinged with impatience.
Joanna is a bold and playful woman. Ansel has a very average impression of her, or even a bad one.
I also reminded Myrna to avoid interacting with her so as to avoid her learning bad habits.
Myrna , who was always obedient , did not listen to him in this matter, which made Ansel ‘s impression of Joanna even worse.
Joanna was not used to him: “Just understand, brother, you two have broken up, what right do you have to ask me for someone now?”
Ansel sneered: “How many times have we broken up? Can you count them on your hands?”
“So what?”
“There’s no point in you stopping me now. Don’t be a villain for nothing.”
Anyway, Myrna will eventually ask for peace.
Joanna was amused by his arrogance and conceit: “In your eyes, Myrna is not even as good as a dog? You can take her if you want, or throw her away if you want. Anyway, she is not important and not worth cherishing.”
Ansel didn’t want to listen to her nonsense: “If you don’t tell me, I’ll go upstairs and look for it myself.”
At this time, the man next to Joanna who had been silent stepped forward and stopped him with his body: “Sir, breaking into a private house is illegal.”
Ansel didn’t even look at him, his eyes went straight to Joanna , he sneered and nodded: “Okay, I’ll remember that. But it’s useless for you to stop her, in the end she will still come back and beg me like a dog.”
