The person on the other end talked to him for a long time.
After the sound of his footsteps. it went completely quiet outside the door.
Finally got up and opened the door, only to find the insulated lunch box left on the ground. I couldn’t help but think with self–mockery, “I knew it. Even if I left him first, she’s still the one who matters more to him. Well. forget it. I don’t want him anymore.”
I threw the lunch box in the trash can and ordered takeout on my phone. I had thought Antonio would fly straight back home after receiving that call. However, to my surprise, the next day when I went downstairs, I saw him waiting at the door again, holding a bouquet of flowers.
I glanced at him, intending to leave as if I hadn’t seen him, but he followed my steps.
“Let me drive you to work. I heard that there’s not much security abroad. and I’m worried about you being alone.” Hearing that, I suddenly stopped
Then I said. “Antonio, can you stop acting affectionate in front of me?
“In the past eight years, how many times have I called you to pick me up when I waited for the bus alone after working overtime? Do you rememniker minat you used to say to me?
You said I should leam from other girls, many of whom could even live totally dependent on their own. You said I should hire a bodyguard myself if I was scared. You said you were busy with your business.”
His pupils quivered at my words.
And I continued, “Now, I’m also busy with my business, so please leave and don’t bother me again.”
I walked to the roadside and hailed a taxi.
Just as I opened the door and got in, he also slipped in.
“I admit I wasn’t a good boyfriend before. Can I have a chance to make up for it? I don’t want us to break up just because of some misunderstandings.”
I didn’t want to waste any more time with him, so I simply closed my eyes to rest. Meanwhile, his phone kept ringing on the way.
Impatiently, I said angrily, “Can you take care of your own business? Don’t appear in front of me anymore. We are totally over, so what’s the point of you doing this? The woman you love is waiting for you at home, not here!”
As I finished speaking, we also just arrived at the company’s building. I immediately got out and closed the door.
I left him no opportunity to speak.
