Oogway for Reed? Atp, I've given up on Dave.. Lemme know your decisions in the comment section!!
I turned around, intending to leave.Ding!Ding! DingAs soon as I took a step forward, the cell phone in my pocket rang. As expected, it was Bleak's call.I hesitated for a moment and picked it up."Hello, Miss Defiant, did you see that? How do you feel?" Bleak's frivolous voice floated out from the cell phone.I frowned slightly and said, "Mr. Bleak, if you intend to make me give up on Dave, then I'll tell you that I have given up on him. You don't have to exert so many efforts."To be honest, I was somewhat confused about why Bleak was doing this. If he wanted to use me to irritate Dave, then he was doomed to fail.Could it be that he wanted me to give up on Dave? If yes, what was his purpose?"Well, Miss Defiant, why are you angry? See, I just let you see who Dave truly is. He abandoned you last night and today, he directly turns to his childhood sweetheart. Who does he take you for? You probably are nothing to him."Bleak said with a smile in his voice..."Well, I know. Thank yo
"Miss Defiant?"When I looked up at them unexpectedly, Teresa saw me.She called out to me.Dave looked at me as well and moved slightly. He looked so terribly indifferent, as if he were a little angry.For a moment, I was at a loss.The two of them walked up to me and Teresa asked me naturally, "Miss Defiant, are you here to watch a movie as well?""Yeah..." I raised the movie ticket in embarrassment and forced a smile, "I'm bored and I'm not at work so I came here to watch a movie...""Oh." Teresa stared at the movie ticket in my hands, "Miss Defiant, this is a cartoon film. I didn't expect you to be so childlike.""For the ones engaged in design, we have to understand everything a little." I explained.Hearing my words, Teresa said with a smile, "Miss Defiant, have you ever seen this movie named Our Love? We are booking the entire hall for it. You can come watch this movie with us.""I booked the entire hall for you."Dave, who was on the side, snapped before I could speak.His wor
After trying to control my emotions in success, I managed to say, "Congratulations!""Miss Defiant, I know you are sad. I'm sorry." Teresa took out a piece of paper and handed it to me, "I have known Dave for so many years. In fact, we are more like family members but our family asked us to unite through marriage. We can't go against them.""Well, I know, it doesn't matter.""I'm sorry." Teresa looked at me apologetically.I clutched the invitation card tightly in my hand but I didn't even have the courage to open it. I couldn't help but ask, "Miss Teresa, despite your relationship with Dave, don't you mind if I exist?""Me?" Teresa paused for a moment and smiled. "It's a lie if I say that I don't mind, after all, I surely will mind that my husband has another woman in his heart.""Don't worry, he doesn't have me in his heart." I said sourly."How could it be? You've been together for so long. You are surely in his heart." Teresa lowered her eyes and took a sip of coffee in front of
I woke up in an instant and looked at the caller ID on my cell phone to confirm that it was him. Then I said, "Da... Dave.""Well, don't you have something to say to me? Go ahead."Dave's voice was faint and a little cold.I didn't know how he was feeling now.Was he agitated? Or was he happy?However, all of these were no longer important to me.I gripped the cell phone tightly and said firmly, "Let's meet for the last time." Dave was silent over the phone.After a while...I finally heard his hoarse voice, "Okay. Come to my office at 10 a.m. tomorrow.""Your office?"After all, his office was a place for getting business done. It turned out that in Dave's eyes, it was an official business for him to meet me.I could hardly accept such a reality. Even so, what could I do?I agreed, "Okay, I'll be there on time tomorrow."The next morning, Kim went out, I got up to put on makeup.I probably spent the longest time ever doing makeup this time. I covered the scars on my face tightly an
I pinched my nails into my flesh and tried to hold myself back for a while before walking to his table, "Dave Mitaka, tell me now that you're telling the truth, if any word from you is false, you will die a terrible death!"All in all, I was unwilling to accept reality."Well, I swear." Dave looked up and at me calmly, "If I tell a lie, I'll be struck by lightning and die a terrible death.""Dave Mitaka, Dave Mitaka, why are you so cruel? Is lying to me something so interesting to you?" Tears finally fell down uncontrollably. I looked at him and said, "What's more frightening is that you are a good actor. You deceived me with ease and fooled me around. I trusted you so much that I was willing to be sincere to you!"In the past, I always felt that I didn't like to cry but at this very moment, I realized that when I got bullied in my childhood, I would only suffer physical pain. Right now, my heart ached and I was truly in pain!!My tears fell on the documents one by one in front of Da
Hanging up the phone, I sat up from the bed and my unorganized lower body reminded me that what had happened was indeed real.I saw a set of new clothes on the sofa.Dave was always like this. Every time, he would prepare everything for me.It probably would be the last time.I changed my clothes and went out, only to find Dave hadn't left. Standing in front of a big French window, he was smoking a cigarette.I lowered my head, only to find cigarette butts had been scattered around his feet.There seemed to be more than 20 cigarette butts in total.Could it be that he had been standing here and smoking all this time?I looked at his sharp side profile, which seemed to have been carved by a knife and there seemed to be strong sadness in his deep eyes.As the lights of the opposite building which were on shone through the glass, a layer of light seemed to be lining his body.He looked so beautiful.Dave was good looking. In my eyes, no other man in the world probably could be better loo
My words infuriated Kim. She reached out for her coat directly and said, "Did he say that? F*ck, I'm going to kill him!""Don't!" I pulled Kim's arm and said, "Forget it. Let bygones be bygones. I need to start anew again. If I continue to be entangled with him, I can never make a comeback."I needed a new life.I needed to start a life without Dave."..Well, yes, you have to live well! Only then will he regret it so much!"Except for saying so, Kim probably didn't know how to comfort me.I went back to my room and looked at the watercolor papers piled up in the corner.I took out one piece and stuck it to the drawing board. I took out the watercolor pigment and began to draw.It wasn't until I started drawing that I found the way Dave had smoked in front of the window was deeply ingraved in my mind.As for every ray of light and every color back then...I remembered them quite clearly.As long as I started drawing, I could draw smoothly with no deliberation.After I finished drawing.
"Reed Defiant." I walked around the room. When I came out, I saw Oogway standing at the entrance and holding a cell phone in hand. He said to me, "I've contacted a doctor for you. This expert happens to be in the City. I've made an appointment with him. You can be there any time in the next three days. You can also go there now.""Well, let's go to him now."After I experienced Dave's blow, all I wanted to do was to treat my face as soon as possible and start a new life.Oogway wasn't surprised by my choice at all. He nodded and said, "Ok, I'll go get my coat and start the car. I will wait for you in the underground garage. You can come down after you've tidied yourself up.""I'm alright." I was wearing a jacket so I locked the door and went downstairs with Oogway by elevator.On our way, Oogway said, "Dave is getting married. Do you know that?"This topic made me feel a sharp pain in my heart. I nodded my head slightly.Oogway glanced at me out of the corner of his eyes and seeme
I followed him into the elevator specifically for the president. Dee stood in front of me. Through the mirror in the elevator door, I could see that he looked dignified.Walking out of the elevator, I saw that the whole top floor was the same as before.Dee took me to the door of Dave's office. Knocking twice on the door, he said, "Mr. Mitaka, she's here."Then he pushed the door open slightly and motioned me to go in.It seems that Dave had known I will come.I looked at the door and felt extremely nervous. Taking a deep breath, I pushed the door open and walked in.In the office, Dave sat in front of a large L shaped desk with a document in one hand and a folder in the other, correcting the document.I walked in. He paused what he was doing for a moment. Without raising his head, he asked, "What do you want to say?"If Dave's attitude to me was as normal as usual, I might indeed think that I had seen something wrong. However, judging from the current scene, I knew that I hadn't se
Lying there, I rested for quite a while before sitting up.Looking at the dim living room around me, I saw a faint light shining through the window of the living room. Searching the living room carefully, I was sure Dave hadn't come back.Yeah, he didn't come back. Otherwise, seeing that I fell down, he surely would come to me.I thought of the kiss at noon.I, who had been pretending to be strong, could no longer disguise myself.I stood where I was and kept telling myself, "Aren't you going to be independent of him? Aren't you going to stop thinking about him?"After all, everything would only get worse and worse if we were together. It would be better if we weren't together.In that case, the ones I loved wouldn't get hurt.How nice it would be!I kept telling myself this.Yeah. Since I decided to break up with him, I would have to make things clear to him face to face, right?I was deceiving myself in my mind.Rubbing my waist, I took out my cell mobile phone from my pocket. Look
Marie sighed, "Alina Jetson, oh, Alina Jetson. Sometimes I really don't know whether you are smart or stupid. Dave is so good to you. Why did you hide this from him?""I..." I turned around, "I don't want to make trouble for him. I think I can solve this independently. If I tell him, he will definitely help me. I am independent. And I can't always be protected by him, can I?""Are you making blind and disorderly conjectures?" Marie looked at me with a frown."Am I thinking randomly?"I didn't know what to say at the moment.Marie took my hand and said, "He may be having a meeting. Don't think too much. As Scarlett said, he's a president. How can he hang around you all day? Maybe he hasn't seen the press conference up till now."I knew that what Marie had said wouldn't happen.When I left, I remembered Dave's expression very clearly.He surely knew that I was going to do something that I kept from him.Scarlett shouted from the side, "Let's go have the meal quickly. I'm so hungry."Wit
At this time, Harry looked at Matt on the side, "Vice Dean Parma, it's your turn."Matt stood there with a look of embarrassment on his face.Matt was dressed in a gray blue jacket, a pair of sweatpants, and a pair of sneakers, looking casual.It was as if someone had forcibly dragged him over here while he was doing his morning running.Hearing how Harry called Matt, all the reporters under the stage suddenly understood who Matt was. All of a sudden, they all aimed the cameras at him!Matt lowered his head, clenched his hands into fists. The conference room was not hot at all. But I could clearly see a layer of sweat on Matt's forehead."Vice Dean Parma?" Harry raised his voice, called out once again, and handed Matt the microphone he had used just now.This time, Matt finally moved. He raised his hand to take the microphone over and looked at the audience with a dull look. Then he opened his mouth as if he had made up his mind, "I'm Matt Parma. I testify that what Alina said just n
When I no longer looked at the computer screen, I saw the reporters all looking at me with different looks in their eyes. It seemed that each of their looks was meaningful.Some seemed to be waiting to make fun of me. And others seemed to be waiting to mock me.This made me even more certain that I wouldn't have an easy time later.To prevent them from sensing my cowardice, I straightened up my back, trying to look calm as much as I could.Finally, it was 10 a.m.At this time, Matt hadn't yet appeared still.At this moment, Loraine walked to the platform in front of her. Sitting down, she said, "Thank you all for coming."After that, she introduced me to everyone and the purpose of the press conference today.I greeted everyone, "Hello, I am Alina Jetson as well as Reed Defiant."I didn't want to hide my identity anymore.At this time, the reporters under the stage all showed that they were all watching a good show.Judging from their expressions, they all seemed to be waiting for th
At this time, the phone had been hung up, and my heart was pounding. I was afraid that he would know that I was going to hold a press conference privately tomorrow.I was afraid that he would blame me for hiding the contact with Matt from him.My feelings were extremely complicated. However, the man was at the door.I went downstairs and opened the door.Dave stood at the door, only wearing a thin suit coat. Under his slightly messy hair, his eyes were bloodshot, and there were dark circles under his eyes.He had food in his hand.He must have had a wearing journey. At first glance, it could be seen that he had hurried to come over as soon as he got off the plane.Looking at his appearance, my heart was filled with guilt, and I felt that I shouldn't have hidden it from him.At least, I should tell him.But now things had been proceeding, I didn't even have the courage to say it.Dave entered the room and put the food on the table. He reached out his hands and took me in his arms. Pu
I suppressed the excitement in my heart, "What is it?"In fact, if only Matt told the story by himself, it would be not convincible as there was no evidence.Then it needed to be testified by someone else, or by some evidence which Matt had kept for himself.Matt was in a conflicting emotion which can be seen from his face. "In fact, I also recorded what happened at that time."Haha.Recording was really a good method.I was relieved hearing this. I put my hands on the table and seriously asked him, "Which do you think will be more disadvantageous to you? The exposure of having an affair with the director's wife or of doing something wrong for your child?"In fact, I felt that both of them were almost the same. However, the latter seemed to be slightly better than the former.Matt looked at me. Instead of answering, he asked reluctantly, "How many videos and recordings do you have? Where did these things come from?""I have four altogether." I thought for a moment and said, "I asked s
Because it was at night without heavy traffic, Dave arrived soon.I followed Dave back to No.1, but I still didn't tell him about the videos after hesitating several times.However, I beat him around the bush and it turned out that Dave knew nothing about that.Then, who sent those files to me?Soon, I thought of another person, Oogway.I realized that meeting him this afternoon wasn't a coincidence.Since the previous incident, I realized that there were not so many coincidences in the world. All the coincidences might be set by others.I remembered what Oogway said before I got in the taxi?Was he really making up for his mistake?His deed has nothing to do with me, but I need these documents now.The next morning, Dave went to work.Before he went out, he told me that he needed to go abroad for a business trip, which would take about a week.Originally, I planned to go straight to meet Matt that day. However, after thinking for a while, I gave up.I took my laptop to Judith's house
I went to Judith's home. I didn't know why I felt more relaxed here than elsewhere, as if I belonged here.Or, only in here, I can really let go of things.I was preoccupied with the matters concerning Judith's death.I called Marie and told her all the ins and outs of this matter. I wanted to see if her husband Jerrold can check whether there was any report about this.After that, I searched for the list of associate directors of the Hospital.I had also come in contact with grandma's attending doctor at that time, so I should have some impression.There were four associate directors in the hospital. I scanned them roughly and soon focused on a photo of an associate director named Matt Parma!'That's him!' I told myself!"My grandmother's attending physician was this man."I looked at the doctor's resume from the Internet again. He was the youngest among all the associate directors. In comparison to other associate directors, he should be the most inexperienced.How could he be an a
