” certainly.”
“Shouldn’t the end of the year be the busiest time for you financial professionals?”
“Yes and no.” Clyde curled his lips, hinting, “It depends on the person. For important people, no matter how busy they are, they will have time for them; for unimportant people, no matter how free they are, they will be too lazy to bother with them.”
Clyde’s words, but before she could figure it out, the lights flashed and it was time to exchange dance partners.
The lights were dim and a figure was thrown over.
The moment the two exchanged, Myrna clearly saw the expression of surprise and disbelief on Susie’s face.
The next second, her wrist was firmly grasped, and the man’s other hand was placed possessively on her waist.
Ansel raised the corner of his mouth provocatively, glanced at Clyde obscurely , turned his head, and met Myrna’s eyes . His eyes softened instantly.
” Myrna , still angry?”
“I went to your house looking for you a few days ago, but no one opened the door.” He said, seeming a little aggrieved.
“If Clyde hadn’t had bad intentions and deliberately changed your flight information, I wouldn’t have found you now.”
Myrna lowered her eyes, indifferent.
“I’m late, are you angry?”
Ansel looked down at her, and his voice softened.
Just now under the spotlight, he saw at a glance that the people illuminated were Myrna and Clyde .
The two slid onto the dance floor and began to dance.
Clyde put his hands on her slender waist and smiled coquettishly and charmingly.
The two of them whispered and looked at each other from time to time, and several times he almost lost his temper.
What right does Clyde have to hug Myrna ?
After six years of dating, he still hasn’t danced ballroom dance with Myrna …
So, when changing dance partners, he dumped Susie out without hesitation.
He knew that his Myrna was really angry this time, so he spoke softly and submissively, trying to coax her back.
Just like the countless times they had quarreled before, this time it just required more time and more thought.
To this day, Ansel still thinks Myrna can be coaxed back.
Seeing that she was unmoved, he really felt a little aggrieved: ” Myrna , are you really so heartless? I know that both Clyde and Dempsey are your means of irritating me. I admit that I mind, very much, and I don’t want to see you have any contact with them at all.”
In this case …
It doesn’t sound like it came from Ansel .
In the past, Myrna would be secretly delighted and feel extremely happy because it meant that the man had her in his heart.
But now …
It’s too late.
It’s too late.
When she found herself becoming more and more anxious and fearful, and her life revolving more and more around Ansel , she knew that this relationship had reached a dead end.
” Myrna , we have been together for six years, and we have been through so much together. We have countless memories. Can we really just throw it away like that?”
Looking at her always indifferent face, the man couldn’t help but hold her hand a little harder.
Myrna frowned: “You hurt me.”
Ansel pursed his lips and let go of her hand: “Sorry … ”
When the song ended, Myrna stepped away from his arms without hesitation: “Those things in the past are in the past. I have forgotten them all. You should forget them too.”
Recalling the scene when they exchanged dance partners just now, she continued: “Since you have made your choice, please stick to it and don’t let every woman who is with you feel disappointed.”
After saying that, she turned and left, her back quickly disappearing into the darkness.
On the other hand, Clyde was not as enthusiastic as he was when dancing with Susie . He was just going through the motions, his eyes always focused on Ansel and Myrna .
Seeing the two people parting unhappily, he raised his eyebrows and smiled. It seems that some people’s methods are no longer effective.
Although they have a falling out now, they were really good brothers in the past.
Clyde knew all the ways Ansel used to coax people, which were nothing more than buying things or giving gifts, or simply lowering his head and saying something soft.
Unfortunately, Myrna didn’t buy it.
” Mr. Effie , are you happy?” Susie suddenly spoke with an innocent tone and a simple expression.
Clyde : “Of course.”
“Is it because Ansel was rejected by Myrna ?”
Clyde raised an eyebrow and looked at her straight in the eye for the first time: “Isn’t this what you wanted to see?”
Susie admitted generously: “Yes, I want to be with him all the time.”
“Then I wish you … a happy marriage?”
After saying that, Clyde let her go and took two steps back.
Susie smiled and nodded: “Thank you, Mr. Effie . I hope you will be successful in getting the beauty.”
Tsk!
Clyde turned around.
Ansel sympathetically , thinking that he had provoked a little white rabbit, but unexpectedly he had provoked a bumblebee.
The kind with a poisonous sting on the tail.
When the two men passed each other, Ansel suddenly said, “Stay away from her.”
Clyde stopped and narrowed his eyes: “I still say the same thing, you are not qualified.”
“At least I have a legitimate reason. Who are you?”
Ansel looked at him, his dark eyes somewhat happy, “If it weren’t for me, you and Myrna would never have had any contact, and she wouldn’t have even looked at you.”
Clyde : “Before you say that, don’t forget that you and I are no different now. An ex and a pursuer, both are strangers to her.”
Ansel looked at him coldly, but Clyde had no interest in saying more and left through another exit.
…
Back in the room, Myrna took off her mask and took a shower.
I went to the second floor with my hair loose. The night sea breeze was slightly damp and salty.
The waves rose and fell, and the dull sound had a magical power to calm people.
She leaned against the railing, looking at the sparkling sea level. There were lights spreading out in a string. From a distance, it looked like stars suddenly appearing on the ground.
The night was beautiful and her mood was healed.
Clyde, who lived in the detached house next door , also came to the second-floor terrace and saw Myrna sitting under the lamp, looking quietly into the distance. Her fair face seemed to be covered with a filter under the soft light. He was stunned for several seconds before he came to his senses.
Myrna seemed to sense something and turned to look.
Clyde was the first to react: “Here, your earrings.”
He opened his hand and a small earring was placed in his palm.
Myrna subconsciously touched her ear and remembered that she did find an earring missing when she was removing her makeup just now. She didn’t expect that she had lost it at the party.
She thanked him and took the things, but Clyde did not leave immediately.
“I have been to many places, but only Maldives gives me a feeling of relaxation and gentleness, just like this sea, broad and tolerant.”
Looking at the sea in the distance, he suddenly felt inspired.
Myrna also agrees.
Before coming, she was restless. The pressure of the thesis and Ansel’s occasional madness made her somewhat exhausted.
After arriving in the Maldives, her mood miraculously calmed down and she began to truly enjoy her own vacation.
Feeling her gaze, Clyde said calmly: “Do you have something to tell me?”
Myrna gave him a complicated look and said, “Let me discuss something. Can you please stop pursuing me? You are just wasting your time by doing something you know is impossible.”
