Alex uttered those words with a blank expression so it was hard to infer what exactly was his emotion at that given moment. It was also a question of whether he was telling those things to Shantal or if he was talking to himself. Meanwhile, Shantal did not argue nor deny anything from what Alex just said. Instead, she lowered her hand and kept her eyes glued with her clasped hand. Then after letting out a deep breath, she tucked her knees across her chest.
"Thinking back, this is what my heart always kept telling me every single time,"
She paused before looking at Alex. At this point, Shantal flashed Alex a timid smile because she did not want to make the ambiance gloomier than it already was. However, the smile that she was

"Well I guess, you have all the reason to feel that way. There was indeed no guarantee that you can have him back again the same as before. After all, you can't simply decide to abandon something at the last moment, and expect that it would remain the same once you change your mind and decided to take the thing back."Alex uttered those words with a blank expression so it was hard for one to read his emotion when he said those words. At the same time, since the advice actually applied to both of them, it was unsure whether it was directed to Shantal or if he was saying it more to himself. Shantal, on the other hand, did not argue nor deny anything from what Alex just said. Instead, she lowered her hand and kept her eyes glued with her clasped hand.

Albeit forced, Shantal still insisted on wearing her same old smile. She made sure to sport a smiling face despite her heart feeling heavy with desolation. Conversely, Alex was not in better shape compared to the other party. He could feel Shantal's anguish from where he was and so he was also on the verge of crying. In fact, tears were already welling up in his eyes and they seemed to be close to falling down on his cheeks. But as a guy, his masculinity would not allow him to be seen crying, especially not in the presence of a lady; so he tried his best to fight hard those tears. At this point, Alex already has to deliberately tilt his head on one side just so he could prevent his eyes from shedding a tear. At the same time, it could be said that the current situation definitely played to Alex's advantage. Due to the fact that Shantal also happened to be preoccupied with her own sorrowful thoughts and she was in the middle of lamenting over her own action, she failed

She has not told anyone about it yet so she did not expect the other party to know it already."Sorry, I did not mean to see the message."Harold added afterward upon seeing his colleague's reaction. he did not mean to be intrusive. It just so happen that he was able to accidentally read the message because the notification suddenly popped on the screen one time when he was using Sam's phone."I am not interested."Sam replied honestly.The offer sure sound enticing for anyone who was facing the risk of losing a job.

But the truth was, Shantal was just as shocked as he was when she heard her own voice.She did not mean to be rude and it was just something that came to her. In fact, she did not intend to say it out loud and it was a thought that was supposed to stay only inside her head. However, as if gaining its own conscience, her mouth suddenly uttered the thing that her mind was thinking.At that moment, Shantal could only wish for the ground to open up and swallow her whole; or at least for a mysterious hole to appear out of the blue so she could jump straight to it and vanish on the sight once and for all. She felt like she brought nothing but embarrassment upon herself"Sorry."She mumbled. But at this point, she no longer had to courage to look at Alex and say it to his face."I am not careful with my words sometimes."She admitted with her head
