"However, there are no ifs in this world. That's the harshness of reality. I was in that kind of situation back then where I basically had a small argument every three days and a huge argument every five days. Sometimes, I may even argue with a few people in just one day.""Actually, they were the ones who picked a fight with you, right?" Kingston asked.Eevonne shook her head. "To be honest, even until today, I can't distinguish if I was the one picking fights with them or they were the ones picking fights with me. I can't tell them apart clearly anymore. Perhaps this is a kind of, what is it? Butterfly effect? Domino effect? For example, I am in the office and I just had an argument with the colleague sitting next to me because of a work-related matter. In less than an hour, the factory manager reprimanded me. I did not dare to argue with him. I raised my head and looked at him very weakly and cowardly, and said, 'Did you already sign the papers yesterday agreeing to let your worke
Kingston gasped. "There's another matter that made you feel even more wronged?"Eevonne smiled miserably. "Mm-hmm. Actually, I can't even distinguish if it's my fault and if I was the one who just loves to pick fights with others, but on the matter of me arguing with others, I've categorized all of them as my fault. I've always ended up admitting defeat. Matters like being in conflict with a few people in a day was something that happened very often to me. In the end, it was also after I apologized that the matter ended. I first apologized to the factory manager. I felt relieved. I turned around and apologized to that female colleague of mine too. I didn't go for lunch that day. Also, I was supposed to be helping the workers in the factory, but in actuality, the majority of the work was completed by myself. Finally, I got the samples done before one in the afternoon. When I carried them back, I saw that the factory manager and colleague were chatting, joking, and having tea. In fact,
"I would then argue with them like I've gone crazy."Kingston wrapped an arm around Eevonne and asked while feeling incredibly sorry, "Things have already developed to such a state, but your boss still did not fire you?"Eevonne smiled miserably again. "I also find it strange for a very long time. Why is it that I was already in such a state, but my boss still did not fire me? I often heard my boss say that he is giving me a chance, he is giving a chance, and if I was in another company, I would have lost my chance a long time ago. Every time I heard him saying that, I truly felt so grateful that I almost wanted to kneel before him. I was also afraid that no other companies would hire me if I go somewhere else. Therefore, even though my interpersonal relationships in the company were a hot mess to the point of being beyond salvageable, it is also because I don't have anybody on my side in the company that I had to be extremely careful in my work. I worked at the company for three yea
Kingston looked at her. "That colleague named Holly was unwilling to apologize to you, right?"Eevonne bit her lips. "It wouldn't matter to me if it was just as simple as not apologizing to me. Not only did she not apologize to me, but she even said to me in front of the entire office, 'Everyone in the company knows that you love to argue with others. You've fought with everyone in the company. You're the one with the problem, so why should I apologize to you?'""Damn it!" Kingston cursed. "Is there a difference between that and humiliating you in front of everyone?""It's fine to humiliate me in front of everyone. I was a shameless person anyway. The main thing after that, she told Mister Lourd in front of everyone in the company, 'Mister Lourd, don't bother with this matter. This has nothing to do with you. I'll hold Eevonne responsible for this. Eevonne, such a large batch of the client's orders has been ruined. The client would want full compensation. You'll pay for that. The to
"Believe me, Kingston. At that time, I was truly like a savage person who had not been enlightened by the thousands of years of human civilizations."Upon saying that, Eevonne's tears started to stream quietly down her cheeks.Kingston simply felt sorry for her when he heard her objectively judging her craziness and psychotic episode."You're a good girl. In this world, every girl who could reflect on herself, recognize her own mistake, and who doesn't subjectively praise herself but objectively judge herself, is a good girl. Eevonne, you are a brave girl," Kingston comforted her in a miserable but firm tone.Eevonne was choked with tears. "Kingston, do you know? I…I only need a friend. Just one. "I need a friend who could completely understand me. I need this friend to tell me that I'm not a bad person and I don't like to argue with others that much. I just need a friend to care for me, agree with me, and approve of me. Just one would do. "However, I don't have any."There ar
Kingston looked at Eevonne with an expression that he had already understood. "So when they heard you threatening Holly like that, they fired you?""No." Eevonne shrugged. "That's why I feel that they were very strange. Things were already in that state, but they unexpectedly did not fire me. The matter was in a stalemate for the whole afternoon, then my boss returned from his business trip. My boss' eyebrows were tightly knitted because the company was in such chaos. I also thought that he would fire me, but he didn't. He unexpectedly mediated the conflict between me and Holly. He asked me if I was insisting on having Holly apologize to me. I said yes! I have to make Holly apologize to me. However, Holly did not agree. Since our boss has returned, Holly felt that she had someone to back her up, so she cried like she had been terribly aggrieved. After our boss had mediated the situation for a long while, she still didn't want to apologize to me. Holly did not admit that she was wrong
That was the difference in everybody's character. Eevonne looked like a ferocious person who loved to quarrel with others. She seemed like she would never conform with the group, and she was even said to be a psycho. However, deep down, Eevonne was an incredibly soft and weak person who did not know what to do. That was what led her to be continuously passive and end up being looked down upon by others. On top of that, just like what she had said, she had indeed once been vain.However, Sabrina was different. Sabrina's circumstance back then was actually a hundred times harder than Eevonne's. However, she was incredibly determined deep down. She could clearly recognize that had not done anything wrong. As long as did not do anything wrong, she would never compromise, and would never submit to anyone. However, Sabrina never argued with anybody. Sabrina was able to endure everything. She was able to use her silent resistance to subdue anybody around her.Eevonne, however, did not hav
Kingston laughed a little awkwardly. "How…how did our topic…get to this point where money is involved?"He had a kind of illusion for a moment. Could the girl in front of his eyes be a professional scammer and an expert at that? All the things that she told him with such deep feelings while crying inconsolably were actually just a story. It was just for the sake of tricking him into pitying her, trusting her, and protecting her. Could it be that she was trying to cheat him out of his money in the end? Therefore, when she said that she would not borrow money from him, she was actually just playing hard to get.Thinking of that, Kingston could not help but laugh. In that day in age, scammers truly were appearing everywhere continuously without any end. There were all kinds of them and they had all kinds of tricks. If that girl in front of him was truly like that, then would Kingston not have been like the pig that was being led to the slaughter?'Haha! That's interesting.'Just a mom
